I've tried and tried but cannot seem to find this game at all fun. I was introduced to it from some friends (who have since stopped playing) to show me that mmo's can actually be good. The only mmo I had ever known about was WoW, so to hear there was a mmo based in the fallout universe rather than some fairy universe, I was quite excited.
Unfortunately I cannot spend 10+ hours a day playing video games, which seems to be the prerequisite for mmo's, and especially this game.
Now I've scoured these forums, I've spoken to many people in NCR, (most of them being ridiculous trolls telling me to play hello kitty or WoW, or offering some other FOnline rhetoric that I've read over and over again, instead of offering any legit advice). But I did find one helpful fellow who showed where to gather fruit and who to sell it to. So I gathered fruit... and gathered fruit.... and gathered fruit. Then I bought a gun! HOORAYY! Now it's time to level up. So I fight mole rats, as instructed by this forum. Then I fight molerats....then molerats....then molerats. So after several weeks of rather intense gaming for myself, I have reached level 11....fuck me. By the way I left out the constant death by people camping traders in northern cities. Which then I redo the previous paragraph.
I was told (in ncr) by a level 24 virgin, that he accomplished this feat of getting to max level in under a week because as he said 'he's not fucking retarded'. I assumed he knew a serious exploit, and that I was truly stupid for not knowing this commonplace secret, that apparently EVERYONE knows.
Anways long story short, this game is wicked awesome fun if you enjoy repetition, being trolled (with the possibility of maybe one day becoming the troll), or enjoy sitting alone with your thoughts, waiting for the game to happen.
Fuck it, I'll go play Battlefield 3
