Are they any fan initiatives to remake Fallout 1 yet? That would be kinda neat.
As much as the NMA people idolize fallout, I can't say the years have been kind to it. I think it has the worst inventory system ever. I also remember the world being alot richer, but going back to it the NPCs are all kinda flat and lifeless. I think bringing the world into 3d would give it a chance to have alot more detail. Plus if they kept the ending, it would be the first game made with the fallout 3 engine that had a decent ending.
Has anyone downloaded the Mini-Nuke radius mod? It's freaking fun to fire the Fat-Man and get hit even if you aimed it a mile away. It looks pretty much a real mini-nuke explosion.
And on the topic of mods, are there are any plans on a giant overhaul for Fallout? Anything like OOO for Oblivion? I've seen the Martigen Spawn mods and they're great, I'm experiencing some slowdown though.

Probably nothing as extensive, since Fallout 3 is, well, better than Oblivion, and thus needs less fixing.
I've been going around in a nice set up gear till now. Vances longcoat, shady hat, and lucky sunglasses...
I've finally done the Reiley's rangers quest, and good as the amour is, I'm having difficulty forcing myself to upgrade to it.
Its got like four times the damage resistance, but I lose a point of perception and charisma, and frankly it just doesn't look as cool...
I think Ranger armor is the best non-power armor protection in the game.
Me, personally, I downloaded a mod that lets you get power armor training when you become friends with the outcast, and walk around in my slick as fuck black power armor pretending I'm some kinda stealth super techno assassin ninja
It is pretty much the best armor. Most of the power armors only have 40 DR. Tesla Armor has 43 DR. The ranger armor has 39 DR. The only one with much better DR is the T-51b power armor. It has 50 DR, but it can only be repaired by NPCs. It also weighs a lot and doesn't increase your strength.
Oh yeah, the ranger armour is definitely best non power armour in terms of damage resistance.
I just think it looks dorky. Plus reiley's rangers are lame next to talon company.
I'm using vance's longcoat instead of that for the perception and charisma boost. Plus the weight of worn apparel effects stealth, so my fashionable four pound coat picks up another few points there, since I'm a sneaky snipey guy.
Be envious of me, for I have just discovered the joys of the Rock-It Launcher.
Also, anyone get creeped out playing this late at night? The radroaches creep me the fuck out playing in a dark room.
Last night I was at Hamilton's Hideaway (that place is so weird and empty by the way) and all of a sudden there were like FIVE blips on my radar. I totally freaked out, 'cause I like picking my enemies off slowly, one by one. I rounded the corner and... Five radroaches.

I was actually happy to see them :S
Its not so empty..
If you sequence break past GNR, then come back to it and do Threedogs mission, He'll reward you with a key to a pretty damn good stash of gear. Not sure if you get the key without the sequence break tho

The real reward for finishing the GNR missions for me has always been the ability to hear the radio anywhere in the wastes.

God I hate radroaches. So annoying, their sounds creep me out and it's hard to find them all. I had my revenge on them in the RobCo factory earlier. PEST ELIMINATION MODE ACTIVATED.
Only reason I don't wear the ranger armor is it weighs 27, which is 27 less loot I can carry.
I love having loot!
My klepto unarmed character was like that. I can go out with less than 10 weight and come back with 290 pounds of crap! Why do I need over 100 bottles of Nuka Cola and 100 shot glasses? Who knows?
You've got to prioritize man. You need at least a 10 to 1 ratio of caps to weight for the loot to be worthwhile. Scavvin' ain't easy. 8-)
I can easily quick travel to my home in megaton. Most dungeons don't have that much worthwhile loot and I repair everything I can we I find it so I usually have enough room to just pick up some random crap. Of course, it doesn't really matter now that I have an insane amount of caps.
The merchants I have access to have bugger all caps whenever I go speak to them so I can't even sell all my scavenged loot, plus I only have the bottlecap mine schematic despite having enough parts to make hundreds of the other custom weapons. I've just started squireling all my loot around the wastelands. I have caches full of crap. I started off using the lady's restroom lockers in megaton which was my home before getting an actual home, but now I've got bins and whatnot all over the wasteland with tonnes of crap crammed into them.
Now that I have an actual proper home I guess I will barter some of the stuff for the home upgrades since Moira doesn't have nay actual caps to give me for any of it.
I mean, you see a red marker running towards you in the wasteland, you assume " OH FUCK ITS A PACK OF YAO-GUAI "
Only to turn towards the market, crouched, with your most powerful and best repaired weapon drawn, to see a fucking molerat lumbering towards you, which literally dismembers with a single freaking bullet to the head.
You need to put the mod files in the Data folder inside the Fallout 3 directory and then activate them in the "data files" option in the launcher. Most mods have installation guides in a txt file, look there if anything special needs to be done aswell.
Yes blowing up a city with a nuke kills the people there .
Ok thanks. I was hoping there might be an option to tell the people you like to evacute or something. I want some housing but I'll need to trek through all of Moira's quests first in that case.

You can get a house in Megaton...assuming you don't blow it up.

If you're really itching to blow Megaton up..
you can still do Moria's quest after the nuke blows.

I did Vault 92 last night. It was pretty interesting, but I crashed two or three times while I was there. It seemed to happen shortly after I listened to an audio diary, so I just collected them all and listened after I had left.
I’ve also started finding grenades with diminished CND in my inventory. I haven’t yet had a “broken†one, but I typically have one or two grenades that are damaged, which is weird. I don’t bother getting them fixed by merchants, though.
If you’re finding that your Wasteland business partners are short on caps, try waiting a few days between visits; in my experience, the longer you wait the more money they have. Also, if you invest in the wandering merchants (by talking to Uncle Roe in Canterbury Commons), the stock they have will improve, and they’ll have more money. And bear in mind that you’ll probably end up with more money than you can spend, so go ahead and splurge on improvements and themes for your home.
Regarding armour: Ranger is definitely the best non-powered. For powered armour, don’t forget the medic set – iirc, it had 45 DR when I found it.
I really wish you could bump into mercenaries who aren’t already dead, either as allies or enemies – if only to put some of the cooler “light†armour in your path earlier.
Why is it that I can wear biker goggles with a combat helmet (or eyebot helmet!) but not with the metal helmet?
Oh, and I was very happy to find the
Vault 77 jumpsuit
in Paradise Falls. The audio note with it was cute, too.
Playing a melee/explosives character means that I use a lot of drugs and booze, so I get addicted a lot. I thought it would be a drag, but it’s kind of fun to go riffling through a dead man’s pockets looking for alcohol rather than weapons or ammo.

The part about them that really pisses me off is there's some kind of problem with their hitbox. Center them on your crosshair, pull the trigger.. and they don't die. The bullet uselessly embeds itself in the floor under them. I've burned entire clips with the 10mm pistol and not hit one.

Switch to vats.. instant kill.
I think that has more to do with the screwed up accuracy of the guns. I mean, sure I know guns won't be accurate over long distance, but come on..I've seen bullets leave my barrel at like a 45 degree angle on a short range shot that atkes like like 7 feeet away from my cursor.
I donno then, man. up to date on all your drivers?
Patched?
I had a couple crashes [mostly on exiting the game so it didnt really affect anything ] when it was released, but they've all but vanished, even with all the mods I've downloaded for my second run
At first, I didn't have any crashes except for when exiting. Oblivion always crashed when I exited so I didn't care. After about 60 or so hours playing the game, the game started to crash regularly, and now I can't play for 30 minutes without crashing.

That's a bit worrying to hear. FO3 has been rock solid for me, not a single crash. But the last 3-4 days I've had maybe 3 crashes. I hope it's not a trend.
What might help is if you prune your savegames folder. I had the same issue; perfect performance for over a week, and then crashes became fairly regular. Looking at my save folder, I noticed I'd saved about 1800 times. Given I wouldn't even be looking at 95% of these ever again, I deleted all but about 50. Performance improved once again, and has remained stable since.

Hrm.. Interesting.
Cause the llast time I pruned my folder, I dont know how many I had but it was like 17-19gigs of saves in there.
I deleted them for HDD space, but I didnt notice any noticable performance change.
God I hope fallout 3 isnt going to be one of those games that does all that weird shit in different computers for no fathomable or understandable reasonss

This is Bethesda so the answer is probably yes.:P Daggerfall was a buggy mess.

I have 14 saves, including the autosave.
Have you tried degragmenting your hard drive? It also might help. The only other thing I can think of is to ask how much free space do you have on the hard drive that's got Fallout 3 on it. I think it needs a fairly large amount of free space on the hard drive during play.

It's a Bethesda Fallout game. It was pretty much doomed from inception.
Some of you may remember my 'broken' grenade a couple of pages back... turns out it isn't so broken after all, as the BoS Outcast bitch that just mouthed off has found out...
...Of course, she was too busy searching her pants to tell if it was broken or not.

fun game, i got the totally angelic ending i guess
now to go and be evilish
As much as the NMA people idolize fallout, I can't say the years have been kind to it. I think it has the worst inventory system ever. I also remember the world being alot richer, but going back to it the NPCs are all kinda flat and lifeless. I think bringing the world into 3d would give it a chance to have alot more detail. Plus if they kept the ending, it would be the first game made with the fallout 3 engine that had a decent ending.

Well, and human meat, seeing as I'm a filthy cannibal and not a sophisticate like Vance and his pseudo-vampires.

Yes blowing up a city with a nuke kills the people there

There are enchantments for clothing that doesn't exist in the GECK. Two that I have seen are the dunce cap and football helmet.
