Yanbbrox Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 just over 57 hours for the 1k. Just wanted to say thanks for the guides and was curious to how long it took other members? I don't think I'll be getting the DLCs the game is good when it's flowing but I always seemed to get lost at some point which to me equaled putting it down and doing something else. :drunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen x360a Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 It took me about 55 hours, and that's including all DLC's except for Mothership Zeta. It was pretty awesome . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Default Enemy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 150 hours, probably only 70 hours for the 1k. The rest was just walking around and taking in the scenery (or lack thereof). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dz06lt Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 ive finished zeta today with 109hrs in today all the DLC loved it sad that its over, praying that Vegas is just like this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrliadiere Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 My first character playthrough was 44 hours, the second one with all the DLCs is 51 hours so far. So 95 hours, and about 100 points left to collect. For some reason I still need the level 8 with neutral karma achievement, which is an annoying one to get.

Pearson Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'd say that it took me roughly 60 to 65 hours to get my 1,000GS because I ran around most of the time instead of fast traveling from location to location. I just wanted to see what little goodies I could find along the way to my destination to use on the little wasteland treats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizzlebuzz Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 28 hours for the full 1k. I did the storyline last and was slow on achievements. Granted I was familiar with the quests, and knew of the collection quests, due to playing for many many hours on the PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuscularTea Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 right now I'm at 60 hours, and I think it was 50 for the regular 1k. I started off just not know what to do, but at like the 20 hour mark I decided to stop exploring and just doing quests how ever I was doing it and went with the guide. All I've got left now is Point lookout and Zeta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaku77 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 This game has taken me 74 hours so far, and I'm about a quarter done with my last DLC. I have spent a lot of time doing non-achievement things though like collecting unique items or armor, so it coulda been way quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan Y97 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 OMG. you guys are fast it took me a month or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s7ranburgLar Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 You guys are crazy lol. I was just over 100 hours when i completed the 1000/1000. Granted, i spent the majority of my time exploring the world and reading all the little tidbits and such, not whoring achievements . I could see this game being accomplishable in around 40-50 hours easily though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNUCKS x360a Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Its just like Oblivion, You can get the 1000 in a couple days playing if you want to - Or you can make it last you 100-200+ hours. My first Character in this had 80 odd hours, then I made a second when The Pitt came out - that's on 120+ hours & still going... (have 1550/1550) Truly amazing game!

RadiantViper Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I believe it took me around 70 hours. Then 20 hours playing the DLC for the 1550. The game is much more fun if you sort of aim for the achievements, but don't go out of your way to get them. Just play the game and find the quests yourself.

Vandiloo Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I bet I spent every bit of 100 hours for the first 1000. However I didn't do for the points, the game is just one of the best ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achiever TM Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I'm with 25h and got +300G, but I'm not using guides, just for the missable achievements, so I can explore everything by myself enjoying each moment of the game anyway, any RPG take at least 100h of gameplay to be completely explored. so I'm not worried about how long it will take me to finish the game and get 1550G bc I really love RPGs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperNova X2X Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Took me 36 hours inc. DLC (Except MZ) to get 100%. That's only because I focused on getting the achievements. If I had just played the game it would have taken well over 100 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadiantViper Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 guides make achievements boring? In cases like this where it ruins the surprises and you don't get to explore for yourself, guides make getting the achievements boring, yes. Guides are more useful when getting the achievement normally is either too annoying, too hard, or too boring already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achiever TM Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 it seems like RadiantViper posted my answer lol and you found it also aside of this game or similar games i use achievement guides.. anyway the achievements are not hard at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I have nothing wrong with using guides (I use them all the time), it's just a game like this is all about exploring and it's fun to find the quests by yourself, not looking up what part of the map you get them. It's all up to personal preference but I just think Fallout 3 is one of those games you should avoid achievement guides for, except for things like missable achievements and the bobbleheads, etc. I just found it quite fun to stumble upon quests when roaming the Wasteland.

Lord Terrax XII Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Took 58 hours on one character and 8 on another... I did all the original 1k and then Broken Steel, Pitt, and Anchorage on the first. I missed the Energy Weapons Bobble Head (I didn't plan on playing so much) and so in order to get my full 1350 I just made a new character. Even though my original was great I wish I had planned. My second was almost as good at level 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're missing my point I know that guides help a lot sometimes, but in terms of general gameplay I find that guides ruin the main part of this game, which is exploring. I used guides to find stuff in this game too, but not before I found pretty much every quest and explored a ton first. Above post: Yeah, thanks to BS my original character has lots of maxed stats but at level 20 there were some things I was missing, noticeably I had a very low Energy Weapons level even though it was supposed to be a tank/general weapons character.

Gizmo2k Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Currently sitting at 91hrs and about 200 save files (I'm like a panic merchant with savefile corruptions in RPGs). Just got the first achievement in Mothership Zeta and I really don't want this game to end. Wish they'd still release more DLC!! I don't think I've played any game a fraction of the time I've played this, and, not a single boring time had either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
