    Can anyone confirm the 181.22 beta drivers are working with the game? The 181.20's that I just updated to crash and I really don't feel like going through the process of removing the driver fully to downgrade.

    No need to do one of those full driver remove things, I just installed the old driver over the new one and it works fine.


    When I play fallout 3 on steam it doesn't show me as being in game, or log the time I put into it. Is anyone else getting this behavior?

    Yeah, it's because of the launcher. You can go into your steam folder, and rename your falloutlauncher.exe to falloutlancher.exeb (as a backup) and then rename Fallout 3.exe to Falloutlauncher.exe and it'll register normally. You'll have to revert all this if you want to change graphics settings and maybe also mod settings, so if you want to do it is up to you.

    But it used to register that I was playing the game. Is this a patch issue?

    EDIT: This method does work BTW. Still doesn't explain why it suddenly stopped working.

    Man I would love to use Vengeance for more then 10 seconds without it losing 50% of its durability. You would think its made of cheap plastic it breaks so easy.

    If your enemies are still alive after 10 seconds of fire from Vengeance then you're doing it wrong.

    Well, after beating the main storyline in Fallout 3, I just bought Fallout 1 from gog.com to tide me over until I feel like starting an evil character, or until Operation Anchorage.

    Wish me luck.

    Or just have Ian shoot them. Fallout 1 only becomes tough after you accomplish the first major plot mission. After that, it becomes a bit more open ended, and you can run into some high level trouble.

    My diplosniper character in FO1 was a god damned golden god. I gave him the deagle, the .22, and later, the turbo plasma rifle, and he turned shit into goo. With the hardened power armor and the turbo laser rifle the entire military base just fucking melted.

    Hah!

    Radscorpions in the original games were a joke once you got halfway decent equipment. Especially in 2.

    What you have to watch out for are centaurs and floaters. If they don't kill you with their poisonous attacks, they'll bore you to death by taking forever to move on their turn.

    It honestly isn't that huge of spoiler. There is nothing about the plot of the game that will surprise you in anyway.

    Sexing your first time gets you a perk based on how well you perform

    Performance would be based on a total of your base Charisma, Intelligence and Endurance with a randomizer thrown in.

    With a roll of 22 or more you get the best perk

    " Man Mountain/Lady Aphrodisia " Which decreases trader prices by 10% and improves reactions for both good and evil NPCs by 15%

    Is there a new patch for the PS3 version of this game?

    I just got to the part where:
    you follow the giant robot around while it lays waste to any who oppose it...
    when all of a sudden the game freezes. Just stops. Dead. As I'm sitting there staring at a static screen, I begin to think I have heard about this particular issue. I do some Googling and discover, much to my chagrin, that this is, in fact, a known issue. The issue is that at some point, at almost the absolute end of the game, it freezes randomly, and the only way to work around this issue is to power down and start the mission over again. This scenario happened twice. The second time I got a little farther, but it still managed to freeze.

    [rant]
    DID ANYONE AT BETHESDA SOFTWARE BOTHER TO QA THEIR SOFTWARE?! You honestly can't tell me that they couldn't have paid a fucking intern $10.00/hour to sit and play through the entire game on the PS3. If they have any problems (e.g. THE FUCKING GAME FREEZING AT THE VERY END!) they enter an issue for it and FIX IT BEFORE IT GOES TO PRODUCTION!

    I'm at work now, but when I get home, I'm going to find a number for Bethesda's customer support and scream until I find someone who will cut me a check for spending $60 on this piece of shit.

    And I don't want to hear, "Why don't you just buy it on XBox360 or PC?" You know why? Because I don't have a 360 and don't want one and personally don't care for PC gaming, not to mention the somewhat lofty system requirements for the PC. I shouldn't have to suffer through lack of DLC, patches, buggy software, etc. just because I chose one console over another.

    So...does anyone know if there's going to be a patch to fix this problem?

    I can;t blame you for this because you obviously haven't had chance to finish the game but when you eventually do, you'll see, they didn't bother finishing the game anyway so I doubt QA was high on their priority list.

    Yes, they can.

    NPCs can also take anything they need out of containers that don't belong to the player. So if he's stashing a Fat Man in a desk at Springvale, then comes through and shoots the pistol out of the raiders hand...Well, you can see where this is going.
