First Steps in the Wasteland (SPOILERS) : Fallout 3

» Wed Dec 12, 2012 4:48 am

So here's the thing I started a new playthrough of Fallout 3 on Sunday, I have been playing this game since release and always come back to it after a few months as I just love the setting and gameplay. BUT I always end up starting the same way its a kind of ritual I set myself.

So I emerge from 101 get blinded by the sunlight (still an awesome sight even after the 50th time)

Make my way through Springvale looting all the mail boxes etc etc.

Make my way into Megaton talk to Simms offer to disarm bomb.

Head to Saloon talk to Burke.

Shop Burke to Simms and follow as he kills Simms (chinese assault rifle for me, thanking you)

Kill Burke.

Disarm bomb get house.

head over to Craterside Supplies and get and complete 'Wasteland Survival Guide' in full complete with optional parts.

I then head in another direction and do some random quests ignoring the MQ as its a bit boring after the first few playthroughs.

I'm usually about lvl10 at this point with some pretty good Small Guns and Lockpick Skills a stack of Stims and a bucket load of caps.

So anyway before I just give a rundown of my entire game which I'm sure no one would like to hear (as we are all mostly seasoned FO3 players here and what not). I was just wandering if you guys had any traditions or rituals on your first few hours in the wasteland after many a playthrough...or even any ideas of places or quests I should go on...
