» Mon Jan 05, 2009 4:40 pm It was the first time i had ever played a Fallout game. It was in Fallout 3, and I had just barely managed to get out of the vault, using my fantastic BB Gun and a Vault 101 jumpsuit. Having no idea what was going on, i walked outside for the first time ever. At first i was blinded. The first thing i noticed, was how amazing and bright the world was outside. Standing on top of a cliff and looking down at the wastes. Makes you feel like a MAN MAN, man. Having no idea about what a quest is - and how to use the Pip-Boy, i spotted a great and tall monument far beyond. After having a closer look, i saw that it was the Washington Monument. I made a conclusion: That's where I'm going! No matter what it takes!
Now, wandering into Downtown D.C. as a level 2 character, equipped with a BB Gun might not be the best idea. Not having a single idea of what S.P.E.C.I.A.L. or skills is doesn't make it better.
So here my great journey begins. First thing i noticed on my way was the Super-Duper Mart. I immediately thought "yay, a mart! maybe i will find stuff in there!". Brave as a soldier, i walked in there. I was not very kindly welcommen. I was suprised by how tough they were, almost not being damaged by my BB Gun. My heart started to jump. I hurried out of there, running for my life. Shortly after, i ran into a kind old lady at a place called Wilhelm's Wharf. I went to speak with her, and she was very kind. She even asked me if i wanted to trade some stuff! So i asked her to trade. It all looked so confusing, so i got angry and killed her. I then took her stuff, healed up and continued my journey for the Washington Monument.
Now, actually having a real weapon i was very proud of myself! I thought myself that i was nailing this game. That i was unbeatable. I crossed the river, and shortly after i was met by a Super Mutant. I immediately thought "MONSTER!" and started shooting for my life. Very shortly after, another bunch of guys came. They all started shooting eachother, blowing stuff up, shooting at me too! I got scared and ran away. I noticed some building on my runaway. I thought that i could go in there and hide! They'll never find me in there! But, it was not quite as i thought it would be. After nosing around in there, i saw a bunch of Super Mutants too. I tried to hide! Tried not to breathe! And then successfully snoke my way out of there. That was a close one!
I don't remember anything else than running around in D.C. getting killed a bunch of times, then getting mad and shutting off my PS3.
Now, that was quite a start to my Fallout experience. I started over some time after that, and noticed the big letters saying "GO TO MEGATON!!!!!!!" and the huge city, that's appearently very easy to miss.
That was the dumbest thing i've ever done in a Fallout game...
