Fifth Platinum Trophy: Fallout 3

It took me quite some time, and a few playthroughs, but today I finally received the Platinum Trophy in Fallout 3, making it my fifth one total (would have been my sixth if Lego Harry Potter hadn’t glitched out on me). I had to wait a bit since SOMEONE had my copy of Fallout 3 for over a year. However, when I first popped it back on I was shocked to see that I had a level 19 “evil” character, so I quickly went on a rampage long enough to hit level 20 and snag that trophy. I then started a new good character from scratch and went through the game again, making sure that at levels 8, 14, and 20 I was “neutral”, to snag those trophies, since I already had all the “good” trophies.

Along the way I picked up all the missing trophies, which included some side missions I had missed, doing some speech challenges, hacking some computers, and hunting down all the super mutant behemoths. I will admit that, in order to find everything I was missing, I did turn to the Fallout 3 Wiki for guidance. Mind you, even though I now have the Platinum trophy, I do not have all the trophies. As of right now I have 54% trophies for Fallout 3, due to the five DLC add-ons, which I am not ready to pick up now. I will wait it out a bit still, and maybe pick up one every now and then to space them out, simply because there are five of them and they are expensive, considering each add-on is $10.

Anywho, playing through the game again made me realize how much I missed exploring the Capital Wasteland. I had a heck of a lot of fun going through the game again, and I look forward to expanding it more with future DLC purchases.

I really enjoyed the story and lore that shaped the RPG Dragon Age: Origins. When perusing the Dragon Age Wiki one day, I saw that there were two novels written by the game’s writer. These novels served as prequels to the game, and I was excited to start reading them to partake of more adventures in Ferelden. The first book in the series, The Stolen Throne, proved to be an excellent edition to Dragon Age lore.

The Stolen Throne starts off depicting the adventures of Prince Maric, the heir to the Ferelden throne. Unfortunately, the Orlesian nation has conquered Ferelden, and the royal family has been running a rebellion against the usurper. After his mother (the Queen) is killed, Maric flees, and eventually meets up with Loghain (who is one of the antagonists of the Dragon Age: Origins game.) The book then follows their adventures over the next few years, as they work to get Maric back on the throne.

One of the toughest bronze trophies is the City Guide. You really have to explore the whole map to find them all, and the confusing thing is that its hard to tell whats considered a town and whats not. I originally had a list of over 70 possibilities, but was able to whittle it down. So below I have a list of each region, followed by all the towns that count towards it. You can use this map from the Sacred wiki to find where each town is located.
