    Fallout 3 should impliment Sims-style Woohoo.

    Gettin' all bouncy under the covers, frantically spinning around, then "ZOMGSPURT", the fireworks go off over your head.

    Personally I'd prefer it handled like Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit.

    It was handled a lot more often and better in 2 particularly though.

    The whole thing with the Bishop mother and daughter, and the ending narration regarding all that, not to mention the porn star stuff, etc.

    Oh man, don't remid me... I had to go so fucking far because I hadnt saved in ages after sleeping with Bishops wife. I got mowed down every damn time when they caught me.

    Fucking his daughter after you've fucked his wife is fun too.

    Especially when you actually go to the whorehouse and then have the ability to order the whores to look like the daughter or mother Bishop.

    Well, its very likely that Vegas will be in similar condition to DC in the upcoming New Vegas game. But even still, Vegas is sin city. Perhaps there will be a bit more sex in the Obsidian made side story.

    I'll probably start a new game to get the trophies on ps3. Since when they release them I had already beat the game. Then once they start releasing the DLC I'll buy them. Though it'll be awhile till they release Point Lookout on the psn which is the one I'm looking forward to the most.

    Not to mention those two 'rate' your performance based on your stats. You can also bring up you slept with Angela when you're WITH Leslie. LOLs ensue.

    I have no idea what would be causing it to crash. I had no problems with the vanilla F3.

    your MMM list is insane, you are not meant to tick everything! D: you only need 1 increased spawns not both of them, and the only "no-" plugin you need is corpse flies, theres no real reason to use the no ones.

    also used fo3edits master update list, that should fix a ton of 1.5 problems.


    I've adjusted the MMM list and run FO3Edit but I keep getting a fatal exception when it goes through the background loading.
    Fatal: <Exception: "Anchorage.esm" requires master "Fallout3.esm" to be loaded before it.>
    If I uncheck Anchorage it loads fine. I can't seem to find a way to make it load Fallout3.esm first.....

    Give this download a try.

    Its FOMS - Fallout Mod Sorter, not to be confused with Mod Manager. FOMS automatically sorts your mod lists to the most "optimized" load order. Very handy way to get mods to play nice with each other without having to go through forums or trial and error. It may be of help to you. Plus I recommend it to anyone else with a ton of mods.

    Most of the "juicy bits" of information come from talking to the wives. Basically, if you follow all the dialogue options to the end, you find out that:
    The family had one set of people who changed their last names to make it appear as if there are multiple families.

    Oh, and if you talk to the little boy he tells you that his dad is gonna make him marry his cousin to continue the family.

    Oh man, now I really wish I'd taken that perk.

    But at the moment I'm just really psyched for Point Lookout. The trailer is phenomenal, shows some wicked cool areas.

    That said, if there are no Deliverance references, so help me God, heads will roll.

    And by that I mean I will boycott future DLC.

    And by that I mean I will buy everything Fallout 3 related ever because fuck this game is too good.

    Err, I'm fairly sure you should still be able to find your old saves, uninstall the DLC, log into Windows Live, and then reinstall the DLC.

    Mind, it should be as simple as finding the data files for Broken Steel and ticking them like a mod when you go to play your original saves.

    I'm just kvetching to be honest, starting fresh is fun.

    Broken Steel added a lot more to the game then just the level 20-30 content, didn't it? I ran into some ants right out of vault 101 and didn't remember the soldiers being quite so large or tough.

    Fuck Windows Live.

    So I modded my Fallout 3 into pure awesomeness. You know, increased spawns, Raiders in Guy Fawkes masks wearing a The WHO T-shirt opening fire with a Tommy Gun standing in the rain while my character and companion Lucy West take cover and return fire (not kidding about this).

    So Windows Live decides it won't let me login until it upgrades my game to patch 1.5.

    Patch 1.5 is notoriously FUCKED. I don't want patch 1.5. I patch my games very carefully and I actually read the patch notes before going through with it.

    I don't want this fucking patch. Windows Live says fuck you then, you don't get to log in and you don't get your save games.

    What the fuck? :evil:

    Fuck Windows Live. It's a pathetic, poorly programmed pile of shit. It's so fucking bad that it didn't even remember that I had already purchased Operation: Anchorage.

    You know how Steam will remember your account info if you suffer a computer crash like I did? Windows Live doesn't remember shit. It doesn't give a fuck. It doesn't even fucking care.

    And yeah, that piece of shit Live installed the awful patch. My game is broken now. The game that I bought and spent days modding using the GECK is a crashfest. This isn't Microsoft Games for Windows, this is Microsoft Crash to Windows.

    I didn't want this fucking 1.5 patch. Nobody wants this fucking 1.5 patch.

    Fuck Windows Live. Fuck it right up its stupid piece of shit ass. This is some X-Box shit. Get this goddamn software off of my PC. I've been a PC gamer since the DOS days and I've never had to put up with this type of retarded bullshit. This is POOR software. Fucking poor!

    Forgive the rant, guys. This is just a verbal representation of my wasteland tears.

    I updated to 1.5, haven't had problems... But I've also never used the Windows LIVE portion of the game? I see the "Live" option in the main menu... but never clicked it or know what it does.

    Are your saves located in the cloud somewhere? What does the LIVE stuff do for this game? My saves seem to be local... so enlighten me on what kinds of problems you're running into?

    Yup.

    Of course you can correct that.
    Correct in this words means slaughter the cannibal family group and then the old father of them all having long ago realized how utterly screwed up they were promises to raise the two kids normally instead of doing what they've done for countless years. Ie: Feeding on the flesh of those that pass by, ironically I don't know if he ever planned NOT to stop having them interbred, he spoke only about the cannibalism did he not? Still it can be taken that he planned to not repeat the mistakes of the past in it's entirety.

    You just have to copy-paste your save files into the account folder created with windows live.

    Then you go into the game, log in (by logging in you access the folder) and if they're in the folder, they'll all show.
