I started Fallout 3, although I didn’t get into the second one and I never played the first. So far, this iteration has been much better. After my fun with being evil in Mass Effect, I decided to go evil my first time through FO3 as well. I figured being evil mostly meant mouthing off to my dad Aslan and not helping people out, but it actually involved being a violent jerk too.
So your buddy Amata seems to really stick with you through thick and thin. I was pretty rude to her and made fun of her weight, but that didn’t seem to phase her too much. Even when I clubbed her unconcious with a baseball bat we were still cool. However, when I accidentally shot her dad’s head off (I thought he was a guard…), she grimaced and refused to talk to me anymore. Interestingly enough, the Talk command comes up when you stare at the dismembered head, but you cannot talk to it because it is now hostile (and laying on the floor, detached from the body). Oh well, I’ll make it up to Amata on my next time through.
So far I have been mostly sneaking and stealing, although I pumped Intelligence first. I don’t really know what abilities are best yet, so I have been taking general ones. I have been trying to put more into Speech because usually the better run games will give you quests and experience for these skills, but I haven’t seen any really moving rewards just yet.

I took the high road on FO3. You can emphasize speech and whatnot, but you need some combat skills. Also, don’t need to put anything at 10 as there are bobbleheads that increase stats by 1 point. Make sure to pick up comprehension and educated at lvls 4, 5 respectively. Don’t read any of those books that increase skills until you get comprehension as it doubles their effectiveness (+2 instead of +1). Intelligence is very important so increasing it is good. Just leave it at 9 and then go to Rivet City and steal the +1 int bobblehead before gaining a level. (Hard to do, but possible). I would highly recommend getting lockpick to 90 and then getting the +10 bobblehead to max it at 100. Lots of exp from picking locks.
this reads like a GTA blog hahah
