There are tons of things I like about Fallout Shelter. I adore the game and I hate the game. That often happens when something is done very well, but still quite not right. For a free2play game I can definitely recommend Fallout Shelter, it’s awesome. Especially after the 1.6 update last summer, which introduced all new mission system, making the game finally whole.

The Nightmare on Vault 666 – 5th And Final Week

…or thirty.

It’s over! I’m not a least bit surprised that this “playthrough” turned into work. I tend to do that to myself. The vault gets bigger and there’s more to do, and I still need to minmax certain things, so I’m stuck with “have to do this first and then that” and then it’s suddenly been two hours until I get to the part I wanted to do.

The Nightmare on Vault 666 – 4th Week

I was sort of bored already, and sort of pissed with all the negatives of the game. But I was still addicted pretty hard. I was determined to at least finish up some quest lines and craft some more legendary gear. To achieve something before giving up.

The Nightmare on Vault 666 – 3rd Week

The rhythm in the vault was getting steadier. Incidents were cleared better and faster, which resulted in fewer deaths. The population had been growing slow and steady (to avoid more disasters) and I finally hit the needed 75 dwellers to upgrade my weapon workshop. Legendary weapons, hello!

I was a bit disheartened about the start of the second week but I continued with the game. Just didn’t really feel up to update every detail immediately anymore. So I kept taking some screenshots to remind me of things that happened, to be written down later.

Nightmare on Vault 666 – 10 Things I Learned about Fallout Shelter

After scouting the internets to understand why the Radscorpions aka butt-scorpions were so horrible, I learned another thing! And I had already learned a thing or two during my latest game. This is a collection of 10 of those things.

There are disasters and then there are disasters.

The Nightmare on Vault 666 – Day 7

The word of the day is Radscorpion. Oh, how I hate them. Obviously I would dislike them also IRL since they are huge scorpions, but they most definitely rise some emotions in-game. Their mere existence in same space will cause my dwellers damage and radiation damage. And they are tough buttholes. They just burrow from room to room, even when I have my best weapons on them. I haven’t lost many dwellers on them, but it’s not like it isn’t close every time. And I have lost my nerves.

The Nightmare on Vault 666 – Day 6

Let’s Play: Fallout Shelter Survival Mode

This messed up vault might have one messed up overseer. I have missed a day. I reckon day 5 was actually days 5 – 6, or 4 was 4-5 and 5 was 5-6. Like it matters really.

I don’t know where the mishap happened, but this is supposed to be day six and I got the 7th day reward. I mean I know that I skipped a day with the writing, but I was writing about the earlier day then. Holidays screwing with my head… Or maybe I got a double reward at some point. Must be another bug!

Anyway, we shall go on with the day 6 being day six, because I say so.
