I don't know why, but I always kinda liked that town. I guess the conflict between the two schizophrenics was sorta lame, but the town felt sorta cool being so far away from D.C.
It was just so far out there. It felt like most of the map wasn't used all that much. Most the game takes placed along the southern part of the map from megaton to rivet city. The rest of it was for like "hey want to go site seeing? Theres bunch of stuff thataway". Lot of raiders, mutants, feral ghouls, robots, not a whole lot of friendly people. Canterbury is just out there on the map boundary in an area infested by hostiles.
Canterbury didn't make much sense to me because it was just two rows of buildings inhabited by some people who just stand around all day, two guards, and a hermit who works on his robots all day and pretends to be a super hero. They don't seem to be growing any crops or raising life stock and there can't be that many edible cans of food to go around. The town doesn't have anything to base its economy around either. Novac for example runs along a highway and the people there salvage repcon for scrap to sell to the caravans which inurn keep the town going. Canterbury just has rocks and a guy who was an indentured/a slave who bought his freedom and became a lucrative business merchant. Yet not that many caravans seem to visit, heck even the mayor asks you to tell caravans to them.
Honestly, I wasn't a big fan of Fallout 3. Although it was still an amazing game, personally I didn't really like the world of D.C., was more of a New Vegas kid y'know?
oh, and fallout 2 is difficult as stuff.
I recommend going to options and turning down the difficulty or running to Navarro and searching their lockers for some goodies.
trying to play pool in fallout would be.. interesting
I'd like to see more gambling. Old games had a gambling skill, so it would be pretty interesting to play as a charismatic gambler type person who hangs out with shady wasteland mobsters like Decker, Mordino, and Gizmo.
