Since I installed Mothership Zeta I'm getting the weirdest bugs on 360. Fawkes now straight up refuses to find his way down from ledges. No matter how short the detour, he just gets stuck at the edge in his rediculous fast running animation, and my character has an enormous left hand. It looks like the Deathclaw Gauntlet, but it changes depending on what I'm wearing.
Fallout 3 is a fickle mistress. On one computer it will run perfectly fine even with a ton of mods. On another computer with all the same stuff as the first and no mods it runs like crap.
Truly it is one of life's great mysteries.
And sometimes it will do both of those things on the same computer.
Which is really annoying.
Hopefully they will use Id Tech 5 (or whatever number Rage is) in the next Fallout game. Carmack's engines are always rock solid. Since ID and Bethesda are owned by the same parent company, so maybe they could get a discount on the licensing.
I seem to recall an interview somewhere saying that they had no intentions of dropping gamebryo in the near future because they knew it so well and were continually improving it with each game.
basically they fear change.
Bethesda. Bethesda never changes.
I was looking over the cast of Fallout 1 & 2. God damn did they have some great voice actors. Tony freaking Shalhoub, Richard Dean Anderson, Keith David, Jim Cummings, Tress MacNeille, Cree Summer, mother fucking list goes on.
Bethesda needs to stop dumping their money into one fancy actor and instead use it to get talent like the above list.
nice! so good to know that I can pick up this game again so long after not playing it and just jump in with a whole new set of quests and a new character.

That doesn't make any sense. The better you know Gamebryo, the more you want to strangle the creators with chicken wire.

Killed my first super mutants, yay! Got some guns and ammo. One of them was a dickwad, using a couple of grenades and then ran away.
People in Megaton have been running up to me and giving me random food. They seem to like me. Also finally bought myself a theme for my home (Science!). I'd complain about wasted caps, but Moira has 'em and I can always trade her shit to get it all back.
Also did The Family stuff.
Finding a peaceful resolution was a little too easy! I'm wondering if I should take the offer to 'learn their ways.'

Learning their ways nets you some cool stuff I think, I'm pretty sure I waltzed in, sweet talked the leader's wife, then mosied on out with Ian.
Cause that's just how I roll.

Can you go into detail about what this "cool stuff" is?

Maybe this doesn't need to be spoiler'd but,
You can be "taught" their ways which causes Bloodpacks to heal you (+20) instead of just (+1). I think the base value is 20. Either way it's far more then what they are originally at.

which, I found, isn't actually that awesome because they weigh 1 per pack, whereas stimpaks are plentiful and don't weigh anything. Still a perk's a perk for a' that.
Yeah, they're giving that Metal Blaster (9x laser rifle) I got from the Pitt a good workout. It's been a long time since I couldn't kill anything at close range with that guy in a single VATS session.
I like that they're replenishing my ammo though. Shame they're making me burn through stims at the same time though. Oh well - at least the game is fun again. Combat in Mothership Zeta was painfully easy.
my character was a stealth master and they're still a pain in the ass
sure I can just walk past them but sometimes you need to repair your tribeam rifle in the field
If you max explosives a bottlecap mine will blow them up pretty good
Especially with the +60% explosion damage perks
Plus they have like a 50% chance of packing a mininuke in their pockets. I'm actually surprised they don't just throw them as grenades, considering how mean some of the BS enemies are.
It also a really great level grind spot. I just wish it stayed accessible after beating the main quest line.
Sometimes it feels a bit like a bad mod, packed with unbalanced loot and excessive XP on the enemies. It feels like every room contains about 5000 caps worth of loot and half a level worth of XP and a 50% chance of having a unique item.
I love it.

Is there any way to not have Fallout fuck up when it's minimized?
okay on the base game (Fo3) is there any way to get a lot of caps without much risk? Everytime I try pickpocketting all of megaton starts shooting me. My best weapon is an assault Rifle and all in all I feel I'm doing pretty poorly.
Gather up the armour of fallen enemies, repair it up, and sell it to vendors. You'll make cash pretty quickly, a hundred pounds of good condition raider armour will net you about a thousand caps, and the wasteland is lousy with raiders.

Have you done the quest involving Tenpenny Tower and the Ghouls? I just did it...
... for the ghouls. While all the feral ghouls were doing the killing, I took the keys off of the dead merchants and opened up their lockboxes. When I entered I scarcely had 100 caps and 2 stimpacks to my name. When I left I had around 5000 caps and 30 stimpacks. Although this is pretty much strictly for evil characters (get a TON of bad karma).

yeah? so if I run in to the PIT or Mothership with a hunting rifle/shotgun at level 9, I should be fine?
I've done Operation Anchorage at like level 3
I am tired of these jokes about my giant hand. The first such incident occured in 1956 when...

I don't really think it needs to be spoilered because, come on what did you think their ways were precisely
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
PS that rifle does 25 more damage in the hands of an NPC because fuck you that's why
so hard to kill
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
Not if you're a stealth master.
Which I'm not.

I press escape and open the console, then minimize. Sometimes it works.
I'm in the Pitt, I just got all my equip back - so now I'm supposed to meet Ashur with ~490/260 capacity.
Is there ANY way I could store some stuff in the Pitt, travel home to Megaton, drop off the rest and return?
Who the fuck do I sell these to
Also can you abuse the weapons lab for EXP or is that a finite amount of dudes that come out of there
