Fallout 3 · DIGIT-ARC

Vault-Tec engineers have worked around the clock on an interactive reproduction of Wasteland life for you to enjoy from the comfort of your own vault. Included is an expansive world, unique combat, shockingly realistic visuals, tons of player choice, and an incredible cast of dynamic characters. Every minute is a fight for survival against the terrors of the outside world – radiation, Super Mutants, and hostile mutated creatures. From Vault-Tec, America’s First Choice in Post Nuclear Simulation.

My view after playing 1hr. --> AMAZING !

Nice screenies
by the way hows the gameplay

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

^^Played Oblivion ? Very similar to it except the V.A.T.S system which is just amazing ! In V.A.T.S the game pauses and you can target individual body parts of enemies. Makes it a little easy but its fun to watch limbs fly away

.

could you tell me how XFire record all the game stat data SP and MP

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

^^Dunno but u can try posting on XFire forums

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

I am still in the vault but FO3 blows FC2 away already.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

^^Exactly. And after having played Oblivion 100+ hours, I knew FO3 was going to be a treat. Bethesda is one of the best companies out there. They are not biased towards console and they arent lazy to directly port games without changes. All Bethesda games are released on PC and Consoles at the same time.

[*goes out to find a retail copy of FO3]

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

I think I've to use Steam service for the retail version otherwise this ain't gonna release in India.

By the way, I've few questions.
1) how does VATS is activated? Key-press is needed or it's automatically activated once player is near to one or more enemy.

I remember in D&D-based RPG games (baldur's gate & never winter nights), I can auto-pause game to issue my team-member and protagonist some orders as soon as one/more enemy is seen in the map - no need to key-press.

2. The camera seems in OTS mode. Is it the only camera view or FO3 has other views also? The Witcher provides 3 camera modes for example.

3. Since it's a vast world - how can protagonist go from one place to other? Vehicles? Portals? or walking?

Post more screens.

Post more screens.

1. By pressing a button (V by default) not automatically

2. FO3 has basically 'infinite' camera modes. But basically, press F to toggle between TP to FP. FP is much better. TP was just for the screenie. But while in TP, you can scroll your mouse wheel to zoom in and zoom out !

3. First by walking and after you discover the place once (basically just see it), you fast travel by clicking in on your map. There should be vehicles but I havent encountered any yet.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

V.A.T.S system is somewhat like Mass Effect in which u can pause the game and command your teammate to target particular enemy.

BTW ... Game is good.
Not very good for me as I am not a big RPG fan.

Pausing the game & issuing attack order to particular enemy is the key characteristic of RPG games. I've seen this in almost all the games I've played except 'the witcher'.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

In Witcher, you were able to pause and select the mode or something.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

Thats true.
But it is not same as in NWN or baldur's gate series.

thanks.. i already got that file and installed it... fallout 3 is now running.. but the problem is if i see the first initial cutscene the game crashes.

but if i skip the cutscene then the game runs fine. and when i exit the game via the menu and finally when the desktop appears it shows an error that "fallout3.exe not working" :-x

.... dont know what to do.. thanks...

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

^^You got the game working na ? Thats enuff. The initial cutscene is just a kind of trailer so you are not missing anything. And about the exit problem, why care about it

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

^^There are no cutscenes. The game just flows along. Like FC2, Assassins Creed, etc. No cutscenes like Crysis and COD4

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

OK Dude, now tell me about this Pip-Boy 3000 in details. That means number of menus, info shown by each and all the usual stuff. BTW ain't gonna play it anytime soon.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

About the Pip Boy :-

After you get 10yrs old in Vault 101, you get a Pip Boy. A Pip Boy is like a personal assistant. It has 3 tabs like Status, Items and Data. Status tab is CS (common sense

). It holds info about your Level and the number of skill you have. Also shows the condition of all your limbs in the form of a diagram so that you know which is in bad condition. Also shows stats like Number of Quests Completed, etc. Items is also CS. It shows what all items (Weapons, Apparel, Aid, Misc) you are carrying and their condition. You can click to equip if possible. The last is Data which holds info like Local Map, World Map, Notes and info about active quests.

"this application has failed to start because d3dx9_38.dll was not found. re-installing the application may fix this problem".

Not the basic DX9 package supplied in game DVDs (few games provide this package though).

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

i've done that.. when i ran that dx redist package it asks the folder to extract the files. i selected system32 folder and ran it. it extracted the files and when i tried running the games.. the same error pops up... i dont know that to do... please help

but looks like i'm the only one playing this game...

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

lol, what did you expect? its an old game now. But still one of the best.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

yup its the old game
it was foolish of me that i didnt play this game even after some serious recommendations
so i'm playing this game after completing New Vegas....tchch....

btw...super mutants are easy to kill in this game in comparison to NV

and this awesome game has so less replies
it should have at least 101 replies

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

For super mutants I always used shotguns to their face.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

currently i'm on a mission to rescue some hostages in super mutant camp/city
the name of mission is "big trouble" i guess
and i'm just level 4
i already killed 3-4 super mutants but super mutant brute is a bit difficult(the one with armor and minigun)

and i only have these guns
-->10mm pistol, .36 pistol/revolver, assault rifle, hunting rifle, laser pistol...and some weak melee weapons
i'm wondering now whether i should go for some other missions

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

^^ Well bro I think you should do the side missions first and after that you should go for main mission because once main mission is over then you won't be doing side mission.
About your mission its "Big Trouble in Big town" and yes you have to rescue some hostages and then you have to secure the village from mutant attack and at that low level its a pain in the ass. I was I guess at level 15+ at this mission so it was easy for me with all those great guns and stuff.

About the suggestion
You should complete "Wasteland survival guide" first as its helps you explore the wasteland once and also gives you a awesome perk and some clothes and other things depending on your decisions.

Wait for 1 day and I'll give you a brief about this game if you like without spoiling your game.

P.S - Piyush give me your email ID I'll send you two image files of maps.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

hey...you mean i wont be able to do some side missions after completing particular main missions?
thats bad....
ok give me a brief idea but without spoiling
i need some good guns indeed

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

^If you want good guns, you will have to hunt them down. For this there is no choice but to view the fallout wiki or find the guns yourself.

And as for side missions, just make sure that megaton is unharmed. But some-side missions you might not want to do, because they will harm your karma. So, decide things accordingly. And make sure you always increase your speech when you level up. Its a thing that will help you with every mission.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

those skill challenges are weird as compared to those in New Vegas
in this game it shows % probable success, so its difficult to understand
speech 44%/32%/etc.....

whereas in NV it was a solid number that we have to look for like speech required 45/55/etc....

btw got my first sniper from area landmine area

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

Well, i too am playing this one. but its my second playthrough, didn't completed it the first time.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

reached lvl 6
and i wonder that am i the only one getting good guns so soon or it is normal?

i'm at lvl 6 and already possess these guns
minigun
missile launcer
assault rifle
combat shotgun

hunting rifle
10mm submachine gun
power fist.....along with other boring guns

yes i killed that guy

what ?i shouldnt have?

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

^he is part of a negative karma side mission. Doesn't matter if you want to have good karma.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

^^thanks jojo
i thought he was an important character...but it turned out that he's just an impotent character
i think i did the right thing

ok guys
this is for those who are having problems while playing game
(i know most of you have finished the game but still...its helpful if anyone wanna play again without a single crash)

the problem with this game is that it was not fully optimized for quad core support(though there are some instances when people were playing on their quad core machines without any issue ....may be they were using xp/vista)
so these settings are used to limit the game to use 2 cores instead of 4 cores
changes are to be made in Fallout.ini in my documents/fall.../...

Code:

Open up the fallout.ini file in: My Documents\My Games\Fallout3 
 Find the line: 
bUseThreadedAI=0 
change it to: 
bUseThreadedAI=1 
Add another line after it and insert: 
iNumHWThreads=2 
This will limit the game to 2 cores and prevent the engine bug from causing the game to freeze.

and if it still does not help then

Code:

bUseThreadedBlood=1
 bUseThreadedMorpher=1
 bUseThreadedTempEffects=1
 bUseThreadedParticleSystem=1
 bUseThreadedAI=1
 iNumHavokThreads=3
 bUseMultiThreadedFaceGen=1
 bUseMultiThreadedTrees=1

Yes there is but not forever. I mean one mission is with a human companion. If you are a bad guy then getting companion is easy ans available in megaton but if you are a good guy then Dog is best companion and also Flawkes but you'll get him at about end of the game.Hey buddy did you got that sweet dog. Thats the best companion ever. I mean that ******* just don't die no matter what happens and he is awesome. Get him from scrapyard.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

Yaa even I got the dog.Protected him witht all I had.

Never got the chance to recruit Jericho.

ya, as stated already by gameranand. dog is the companion. you're gonna love him.

like torchlight. but he can't sell things on his own

you can only recruit jericho if you have bad karma.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

I liked Fawkess as the companion most and never had any other companion in F3.

Are you kidding me?? You protected him?? Come on man he is quite strong Dog I used to rush in fight and then come back and kill them one by one while he was able to distract my enemies. He can survive a Deathclaw man and that tells how strong he is.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

ok....looks like the dog is the real hero of this game...

where can i found this faithful partner?

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

you will find him in the northeast corner of scrapyard. Go to scrapyard and go slowly to northeast and you'll hear some screaming go near the voice and you'll see that Raiders have killed the Dog's master and then Dog killed the Raiders so then talk to him and recruit him. And please don't ask which dialogue to choose OK.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

ok guys
i rescued to men from super mutant city
u safely make them followed me to the required city
now they are asking me to fix some robots so that they can help the citizens from future mutant attacks
but where are the non-working robots?
they all are telling me that" robots are in the junkyard"
but i cant see any
help

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

Ok Piyush. Just go through entrance which has a bridge the straight way and then turn right toward the turn where Red's clinic is situated and then go straight again. You should see a Sentry there not a robot and then repair him and he'll go to the entrance of the village. But when the mutants came you must take the fight and protect all the citizens because although sentry is powerful but he is not good enough for 3 or 4 waves of super mutants.

I got that dog from scrapyard and made it my companion but it died from DC attack - so was playing the game without any companion until I met Fawkess ;-)

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

^If dog meat dies, just install the Brotherhood Of Steel DLC and you will have another puppy in no time.

PS: Please protect dogmeat, he is strong but not strong enough to survive by himself.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

i'm at lvl 10
and fallout 3 lvl limit is 20
but by adding BoS DLC , the cap increases to lvl 30....right?
so my question is when should we add dlc?
after completing the game?

........waiting for reply

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

^^
guys, its Broken Steel DLC. I guess you can install it any time, i know that it alters the ending and elongates the main quest. So, you better install it.

You can apply install the DLC at any moment of game. This DLC is continuation of story so you'll inly get the chance to play it after completing the game althogh the level Cap is increased as soon as you install this DLC. With other DLC you'll get a radio signal and a mission on your Pip boy to complete but with this one you have to complete the game.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

you mean the missions of DLC will get automatically activates after i complete the storyline of vanilla fallout 3?

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

^Yes. But don't just install the BoS DLC recklessly. You can do it, but the new mutants that arrive with this DLC are hard to beat, so don't install it until you hit lvl 15 or more.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

ok guys
in the mission to find details about the android, i was given two choices
1>to follow Mr Zimmer path
2>to lie about android that he is dead
i first tried to do the 1st option, but it was getting frustrating
so i went for the 2nd option and finished the mission

did i lose something?

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

Yes, you missed a nice Perk.

You met the doctor how lives hidden under the ship or not ?

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

Is this game as good as Borderlands?

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

No, its better than Borderlands IMO.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

But Borderlands awesommmeee. Is there co-op in it?

I will buy it if there is ever a steam sale for Fallout like there was for Borderlands. 7-10$ for the whole Fallout 3+DLCs.

Yes. You lose a damn nice perk and a damn good Plasma Rifle. I was able to get both of them with a neutral Karma. First I told the real android about himself and agreed to kill Dr. for him and he gave me his best plasma rifle. Then I go to Dr. and told him about android and then after getting my perk from him I killed and and got bad then good karma so you can say that with neutral karma you'll get 2 real nice perks.

Alright bro let me break it down for you. Borderlands is mainly a shooter game but Fallout 3 is a real RPG. Fallout is way better than Borderlands in most aspects and also it has a pre aiming system known as Vats. So my suggestion is to get this game.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

was this the only way to obtain plasma rifle?

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

You missed the Wired Reflexes per which gives you better chance to hit in VATs.

And the doctor which Jojo is talking about is Pinkerton.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

yes...i asked many people about Pinkerton..some say a hoax...some legend...some ghost...
what should i do?

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

I don't remember who but one of the Rivet city's dweller's gives you his location when asking about Rivet city's history.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

Piyush, zimmer would have told you about Pinkerton if you had used your speech skill.
But finding Pinkerton is another story, I couldn't find him without a youtube walkthrough.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

ah...man...i hate this part....
anyways..the game progress is on hold...kinda busy these days.....will continue on this thread when i start it again...

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

Finding Dr. is a pain in the ass because you have to go underwater to find him and have to find a opening in the broken ship's another part and then you have to proceed to him but that guy is kinda useful and you can change your complete your entire face with money because he is a plastic surgeon.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

^^ Thanks for the info buddy .

Never found that doc no matter how hard I try when I played this game - looks like I've to give this game a second wind - i've around thousand save file - so getting to that point might be easy enough anyway ;-)

BTW, can we get something like Rebreather from fallout new vegas in F3 ?

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

topgear said:

Actually you'll enjoy it more than Vegas because its better don't know why but its better. Better story and a motivation to cure the wasteland and in Vegas you live for yourself.

Don't worry you'll get frustrated finding him. He's hard to track down I consider myself lucky because someone told me that is is on another part of the ship and I had environmental suit and I applied Rad away and after 15 min underwater I finally found him.

Have you completed Reiley Rangers side quest????

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

how could you survive 15min water diving without a re-breather?

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

There are parts in the ship which you can come up to breathe.

Who says you have to. You can always come to surface for air and then go back and also there are places in that broken part where you can re breathe and continue.

I took the quest but I was not able to complete it - never found a way to reach the top of Statesman hotel - now finding my precious F3 save files o that I don't have to start from the beginning ;-)

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

Actually you have to go to the top of Our Lady Of Hope Hospital and there is some kind of antenna at second or third level which will take you to the hotel and that'd the only way to reach the hotel then there will be some mutants which you have to kill of course and then you will go to the to but be sure to gear up pretty well because in the last part of the mission you have to save all the rangers from mutant attack and that'd be a hard fight also give some ammo to rangers before going through elevators so that they will help you to survive and of course themselves which if most important. I'll tell you my storey when my net gets back online because typing on phone is poison in ass for me.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

I loved Fallout 3 (although it's nothing compared to Fallout 2 or 1). However, I found the storyline not very inspiring compared to the previous Fallout games. Combat was fun with the perk that gives more gore (shooting a conclave soldier to bits with Abraham Lincoln's rifle gave me thrills or a teddy bear from the Rock-It Launcher

).

Coming to the DLC's , I've only played two. The first one sets you inside a simulation in Alaska and the second one sends you to Pittsburgh. The former I didn't like as it was way too linear, but the latter was well designed and you're forced to make lots of "lesser of the two evils" decisions. It was packed with shades of gray all over.

Damnit, now you guys made me feel like playing it all over again. I'm thinking of starting with a melee char now replacing my old sniper. I saw this video of someone ripping a Deathclaw to bits with his fists o_o . And I might go through all of the DLCs this time.

Oh btw , have you guys noticed this :

You can encounter alien wrecks in fallout 3 (even without the Mothership Zeta DLC) and find alien weapons. Sometimes , you'll even notice what appears to be a green streak of light in the sky that zips in front of you. When this happens, search around a bit in the area and you'll find cells for the alien blaster

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

Yeah I know about aliens and their weapon.

In one mission about Reily Rangers.
Somewhere I read that there is some mission in Our Lady of Hope Hospital and the mission is given by some injured lady. So I got out to find that lady and hospital. I initially thought that the lady is in Hospital as she was injured so my common sense came there. I didn't had Net connection those days so I nearly searched the whole damn DC area and finally found that hospital and then I actually wiped out about every mutant in that area and also the surrounding. I mean nearly from DC area and when I found that hospital I got in and killed all the mutants and searched the whole place about 10 times for that lady but didn't found her so filled with sorrow I just wandered a lot in that DC area and got to museum and found that lady who gives us the mission. She told me to gear up pretty well and I did only to find that I had already wiped out most enemies there and only a few are left. The only time I got a real fight was when you have to rescue the rangers from inside building to out. And that was quite easy with my dear mini gun which I got earlier searching the DC area. This mission was kinda funny for me because I had already completed about 70% mission before even getting the mission. Although the rewards were awesome as it gave some kind of device by which I would get 10 or 20 bucks I guess 20 bucks for every location discovered and also the dear Ranger Armour. I must say that Armour was best in that game. I preferred it even over power armors.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

^ I've only got power armor in F3 by but as you have said that rangers armor is the best I'm looking forward to it.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

topgear said:

Yeah its the best
You see you get 39 DR. +1 Luck, +5 AP, +10 small guns.
All of this at just weight of 27 so I would easily say that its the best damn Armour. It gets repaired by power Armour and mercenaries Armour which are plenty in Wasteland. I used to just pick up the power armor, repair it to full and then sell to that girl in Megaton. That was the only role of power armor in my game. Although I did equipped them sometimes where I knew that there would be only power armor just to lower my weight. Otherwise I complete the game with this armor.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

where can i find this ranger armor?

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

^ You will need to finish the Riley Rangers mission, or kill a Riley Ranger.

Fallout wiki is your best friends here.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

Piyush said:

You have to go for Reily Rangers side quest fir this armor. This quest can be started by two ways.
1. By Reily (She is in Underworld with Dr. Barrow or Marrow)
2. By Butcher (Just go near Our Lady of Hope Hospital and you'll get a radio signal. Listen and you'll start the quest)

I got this quest from Reily. If you don't have good guns and enough ammunition then this might be hard for you otherwise its easy peasy. If you are a good karma player then save all the rangers for big karma boost after that talk to Reily and she will give you a choice between a minigun or armor(I prefer armor) and if you are bad then just kill all the rangers and get the armor.

Just wait for sometime and they will finally take you to some place where you'll wake up and then that guy is good dress(colonel) will have a conversation with you then you'll get a call from the President and finally you'll get the control f the game. Wait for some time. Have some patience.

Dogmeat with anyone else. It means two.

No we can't have two human companions although some missions are exceptions like that some Independence mission. Well if you use Dogmeat then you would care about him more than Flawkes. He is damn good. I mean that badass dog can kill a Deathclaw without dying. I think you got the picture of his strength.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

If dogmeat dies, just install Broken Steel and select the dogmeat perk when leveling up.

JojoTheDragon said:

There are very very rare chances that he would die unless you just won't help him and hide while he is fighting with tons of mutants....That perk was completely useless for me. Actually let aside a couple of perks all perks from Broken Steel DLC were crap.

Well there are many. Like some will make female characters in game nude. Some will give you scope for some guns and like that but I love the vanilla version of the game never really liked the modded version of the game. Tries some but didn't like them much. I would suggest to stick to vanilla version and just get all the DLCs.

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

^^ Ok - thanks for the mod info but I'm not looking for character or weapon mods - what I want is a total game conversion mod which will add new quests and characters and change the vanilla game completely but probably there is not any total game conversion mod for F3 anyway.

The only way to add a new quest is to get the DLCs if you haven't played any of them. There are 5 in total. And no there are no mod which will completely change the game or add any new quest.

they do add a lot of side quests

btw DLC is the only option you have got

Never played any of em. I like sandbox type games but mainly if they are RPGs. Also I hate that radiation concept in that game as you somewhere in some radiation and your health goes down also there was no weapon modification and repair system at all. Weapon is bad then throw it. Damn I hate that concept.

Go to megaton and complete "Power of Atom: Quest ASAP as it will give you your own personal room in megaton where you can come from anywhere to heal for free.

Complete Wasteland Survival giude as it helps you explore the map and gives you nice reward and a perk.

Conserve ammo as its not a plenty in this game.

Explore a lot.

And yes how can I forget get dogmeat as companion ASAP. He is a really helpful to you. In fact it should be on your no. 1 priority.

Re: Fallout New Vegas Discusion Thread

Faun said:

Any tips, came out of Vault 101.

Ok, let me barge in.

First when skill tag window comes up bump up your explosive skill to 25 or more, this is the least amount needed, after exiting the vault go to the nearby town Megaton and there you can accept mission from sheriff to disarm the bomb or you can go to the bar and accept the mission from mr. burke to explode the bomb, you can do whichever you like depending on whether you want to have good or bad karma, doing either mission gives you a place to stay.

Next, pick up sidequests from moira if you have chosen to save megaton.

A few things to remember:

1. Conserve ammo and as soon as possible get the scrounger perk, this will increase the amount of ammo found in crates, also note unlike fallout new vegas there are plenty of ammo found in ammo crates, I played this game like a dozen times and never I had to buy any ammo.

2. Bump up your small guns, repair and lockpick/science skill fast as much as possible.

3. Save atleast once every 30 mins. This game supports unlimited no. of saves, use it.

4. Explore a lot, first get dogmeat as companion, then you can get Fawkes as companion later and stick to him, Fawkes is like a tank, he can't be stopped. Keep him in your party and enjoy.

5. Alway look out for collectibles, if you have The Pitt dlc then collect teddy bears from start of the game and store in your room, they will fetch you a lot of money in that dlc, also same goes for camera if you have Broken Steel installed.

6. Before playing operation anchorage dlc post here, there is a glitch you can use to carry loads of ammo and weapons across from the dlc into the main game.

Piyush said:

Do you mean talon company? If so, he can't, its not his choice, as soon as his karma crosses a certain level and he saves megaton from the bomb and also kills mr burke talon company mercenaries will hunt him down, they appear randomly and sometime right after you exit from fast travel, so no way to stop them.

If he destroys megaton and his karma goes below a certain level(negative) the regulators(similar to talon mercs but good guys) will hunt him down.

I liked these mercs, they wear good armor, I killed them and took their armor, until getting access to Power armor I used to wear their armor all the time, lightweight, yet effective and looks good too. Plus they carry good guns as well, sometimes laser weapons.

Yeah but Flawkes is only available if you rush through Story isn't it.

He is in a vault of which you get access to in story right????

Same here but just one difference. Never used their armor. I got Rangers Armor early in the game so only used them to repair that armor. I must say rangers armor is best in the whole game given the condition of fatigue and protection.

Re: Fallout New Vegas Discusion Thread

I am in a village where fire ants roam and found the shack of scientist developing some robot.

So I should go to Magaton then ? Finding direction is confusing and the missions too. Like Borderlands can we know if the mission I am going for is of higher difficulty compared to my level ? Can we set the destination marker in the map ?

Re: Fallout New Vegas Discusion Thread

Complete Moira's quest first.Lots of benefits especially if you complete the secondary objectives as well.

And you can put your marker on the map.

Yeah, not rushing, I just got fawkes gradually and then started doing the sidequests, not because he was powerful but for the fact that he could carry the highest amount of load among all companions.

Rangers armor is good, but I never got it in game until later, and due to almost infinite supply of merc armors(plenty of talon mercs came after me) I stuck to it.

Just follow the marker, press tab, open pip boy, open map, set the marker, now it will show on the compass as a green upside down arrow, follow it, keep the arrow in the middle of the compass and you will be going to towards it, hollow arrows refer to locations not yet discovered, you can also fast travel to any known locations by clicking on the map in the pip boy, fast travel can be invoked from anywhere except indoors, and does not require you to got to specific points like in borderlands.

Red line on compass denote enemies, green line denote friendlies.

Normally the game generates enemies according to your level, now you will face boatfly, dogs, mole rats etc, later when you reach level 10 around you'll face mutant bears(yao guai) and these are tough, also you'll face mirelurks and as you progress you will face higher levels of them. Deathclaws are the ultimate enemies in game, if you have broken steel dlc a dangerous type of ghoul may also appear around level 20, and albino rad scorpions, all three enemies can kill you in few swipes.

There is one exception to this rule, no matter which level you are in, north east part of the map will have some deathclaws in it(later when you reach level 20+, deathclaws will spawn everywhere), don't go there.

Also note due to a glitch a random deathclaw may appear around south west part of the map, just one, but if you see it, run like hell for now(you can't outrun it though, try jumping off cliffs or going in water).

In general there is no difficulty rule here, but if your science or lockpick skills are high, in certain missions its possible for you to skip dangerous areas, so that's it, there is no mission in game that you can not do at any level, there is always an alternate route(albeit hell dangerous).

I did, ran like hell, it came after me like a mad bull, jumped off from a cliff, broke a leg, took 2 steam packs, then before it came close ran into water, there got beat up by mirelurks, came to shore and god's gift, the alien blaster(the random drop) was lying in front of me, took it up and killed the mirelurks and teleported to megaton, was the most hair raising moment in that game.

PS: Also when doing moira's mission I had to implant a sensor in the mirelurks egg hive, now mirelurks damaged my armor, so I took off my armor, ran like hell towards the egg hive in my underpants and implanted it and ran back out again, the armor was more important to me than my health. :grin:

We seriously need a thread regarding "Your most funny moments of the game" for incidents like this. Yeah in Moira's Mission was hard for me also but luckly or you can say just by mistake I was in there before and had killed all the mirelurks there so when I came back it a piece of cake for me.
1 more incident.

I somewhere read that Ranger armor is best and is a reward in a mission which is given by a sick lady. The mission is in Our Lady of Hope Hospital. So by common sense I thought that the lady must be in that hospital so I searched it again and again killing everyone inside thinking that I have to rescue her but no use. So I randomly started roaming like a drunk because of failure and then meet her in that Museum. I actually killed most mutants in DC area just to find her. :rofl:

re: Fallout 3 --> Ready to exit Vault 101.

Reached Megaton.

Got into Super Duper Market, found medicines but where is the food ?

I find it easier to cripple down enemies by shooting them in legs.

^^Life in Megatron is easy.

And I dont think you should attack people in Megatron because if you do so, others will start chasing you.

Faun said:

Food is usually in refrigerator. So search for it.

Also you can buy food from The Brass Lantern in Megaton ;-)

Actually he is on quest and food is easily available there so why buy when its free. :))

^^can one accidentally eat the food intended for the quest ?

Faun said:
^^can one accidentally eat the food intended for the quest ?

You can. Raiders won't. Well you see this is a game with great freedom you can do pretty much anything in this game. There are lot and lot of choices. You can slaughter an entire city but can also save the same city from Mutants if you want to. You can get food for quest but you are free whether to eat it, drop it, sell it or whatever. Fallout series (Bethsdasoft) provides more freedom and freedom to do anything unlike Bioware's games.

^^I think I ate it :/ Shouldn't important objects be stored separately ?

Faun said:
^^I think I ate it :/ Shouldn't important objects be stored separately ?

Well see in other items if you have that. No it don't store them separately. You can get more though. I guess first go and talk to Moira and see if you still have it as it will give you a dialogue choice about that.

^^What is the best method to fight enemies ? I usually shoot legs first. Any tips ?

Faun said:
^^What is the best method to fight enemies ? I usually shoot legs first. Any tips ?

Well it depends on your style. I used to let them come to me closer and then using VATS I used to kill them. Shooting on legs makes them slow but their health don't drop at good rate and I am a conserver type of player so use to conserve ammo a lot. :))

Faun said:
^^What is the best method to fight enemies ? I usually shoot legs first. Any tips ?

depends upon enemies too:

#for fast enemies-->cripple their legs(they lose speed)

#for gunslingers-->cripple their arms(they lose accuracy)

#for melee attackers-->well i dunno( i used to bang their heads)

NOTE:their are certain creatures having antennae on their heads.cripple them to disorient them or make them attack their surrounding insects

You should have recorded it.

No matter, quest items if any cannot be dropped or consumed, if you ate it that means it does not matter anyway.

Faun said:

Well, my strategy is:

1. Dogs/mole rats: Shoot any part of body with vats, wait for it to get closer as vats chance increases with decreasing distance, max chance is 95%.

2. Yao Guai(mutant bear): Let it come to point blank range, shoot its head with shotgun in vats, one/two shots are enough anyway.

3. Deathclaws: Cripple its leg using either rail gun or dart gun, and then shoot its head while running backwards, watch out for others nearby. After reaching high enough level try using the unique shotgun(found in raider market, terrible shotgun or something) and shoot head at point blank range.

4. NPC: Shoot the head.

5. Robots: For protectrons, flying robot and brain robots(forgot name), shoot the head. For heavy robots shoot the missile wielding arm first and try to cripple it.

Told you to use shotguns, not knife.

Anyway, to get irradiated go to a washroom in megaton, stand in front of a basin or toilet and drink some water(keep the e button pressed till radiation crosses the optional level), go back to moira as fast as you can.

did you get the sniper gun yet?

A better idea is to get the Animal Friend perk and animals ignore you completely. On second level, they actually come to your aid.

Actually no use. Animals hardly are my enemies or something that can kill me. Also where most quest are animals are not. Just waste of two perks. Also if you take this then animals won't attack you so wandering around is not fun anymore.

DeSmOnD dAvId said:

All five of them tried and completed.

Absolutely right, deathclaws are not affected by animal friend, and other animals stop becoming a threat after level 10-12 max.

Faun said:

yea
btw do save .308 caliber rounds
as the sniper rifle will come handy in most situations
(i had my gun skill and stealth skill maxed up and that way i could kill mature deathclaws in 1-2 sniper shots)
did you receive your first sniper rifle yet?

^not yet received sniper, where do I find it ?

Faun said:
^not yet received sniper, where do I find it ?

in a mission received by Moira-the girl with her wasteland guide mission( i guess its the correct name)
one of her mission is to collect land mine and give it to her
the place which is marked on your map , go there disarm about 30 land mines there(just be careful)
there is an old man shooting at you from his sniper
kill him and get the gun

he also have the master key of all the houses around.That key will come handy
otherwise you can open all the doors if you have 25/50 skill points in lock picking...i forgot the level )

Yeah right and there are also some other places to look for sniper but this is your best option as you'll have to go there and the places I'll tell you are not marked so you gotta find them.

Faun said:
^not yet received sniper, where do I find it ?

Do the mine quest as said above, do you have dogmeat? If you have him I can tell you a way to get the best unique sniper rifle in game.

gameranand said:

Remember the victory rifle at the shack @ east edge of the map? Sweet sweet weapon.

Got the sniper from old man at minefield.

Faun said:

Good, remember to bump up your repair skill and remember carefully that you can only repair a weapon with a same one, and sniper rifles are pretty limited in this game, if you use the sniper rifle too much its condition will decrease and it will break, there is just one place in game where sniper rifles regularly emerge(carried by a raider who spawns every 3 days). So use the sniper rifle only when you really need it.

PS: You can get stuff repaid by npcs but it cost a hell lot of money, I used to keep a robco jumpsuit with me, wearing that gives +10 repair, nice way to bump up repair.

I guess there are too many parameters in this game.

Faun said:

Yes, too many, so you can play this 100 times and discover something new each time.

Faun said:

Yup and thats the beauty of it. You can also use scoped magnum as sniper though. A higer version of scoped magnum is a possible reward of a quest Agatha's(don't remember exact name) Song.

And now super mutants comes in packs. Everyone out there is braindead hostile.

Where do I sleep in Megaton.

My Megaton house - The Vault, the Fallout wiki - Fallout: New Vegas and more

Faun said:

Yeah they always comes in pack. No worries just kill them one by one don't try to kill them all in one burst.

Faun said:

Haven't you completed "Power of Atom" Quest ???
If yes then you must have got a room as a gift.

I feel this is a much more comfortable residence.
Tenpenny Tower - The Vault, the Fallout wiki - Fallout: New Vegas and more

^^ Yeah but this was through evil action for which I was not comfortable. So I managed with Megaton.

Okay guys, got the keys to the house.

Got minigun from super mutant and Missile Launcher from Chinese remnant officer in Dolca food processing.

Picked up a figurine for luck in Arlighton house.

Went underground in Mirelurk's lair. Now on a mission to place observer in mirelurk lair.

How can I outrun enemies ? Default walking speed is not great.

^^ Are you expert in stealth or not??? If no then try tkin's method take out your armor and run like hell.

. If you ask me how I completed it well I had been there before the mission so I just killed everyone in that lurk so completing the quest was piece of cake for me but if you haven't then you have to try tkin's method as there is no way out. If you kill mirelurks then you won't get the bonus award so....

^^I killed a couple of mirelurks before, 5-6. Easy to take down with minigun and combat shotgun.

Let me try the misson now.

Well but if you want to meet the bonus objective for a bonus award then you should not kill any mirelurks.

^^used stealthboy and pretty much had everything running behind me until I planted the observer. Easy job.

Now activated robco mainframe.

Where do I get the keys to this cathedral, I am investigating tribals on behalf of Mr. Desmond.

Always mention the quest name as I remember the places by name of quest.

@anand, he is playing the dlc, forgot the name, some island, swamp stuff, you remember?

Oh, yes, its point lookout.

^^welll..yeah talking over intercom gave me the quest to collect seeds. Almost every good weapon of mine is broken now.

@faun, not good buddy, the later part is crowded with mirelurks, I snicked in with chinese stealth armor from operation anchorage dlc, its like an infinite stealth boy, always invisible, you have to fight a lot if you try to force your way through, you can try to outrun the lurks, they are very slow.

^^Yeah, encountered 2 Mirelurks. Will complete the quest later. This game is not scary, it's has funnier looking enemies.

I think its Point Lookout DLC.

BTW, the real fun begins after you collect the seeds. XD

Faun said:

I came here with 1 dozen 100% repaired Chinise Assault Rifle, Minigun, Shotgun and what not and by then end of this quest most were at 40-75%. Enemies here don't go down easily.

I missed this mission i guess

If you haven't downloaded The Pitt DLC and played it then yes you have missed it. Its not a side quest its a entirely different map.

Buy a ticket from the ferryman and go back to mainland and finish the main game, after leveling up come back again.

I finished the main game, got to level 22 around, played the dlcs, starting with anchorage, then pitt, point lookout, broken steel and zeta, the chinese stealth armor helped in lookout and zeta.

PS: Before visiting the point lookout I put a lot of supplies(took me 4 trips to my home to get all of them) inside the trunk under my bed in the ferry, and reached lookout with the stuff, mostly spare weapons to repair, plenty of rad x and rad aways and a rad suit, some spare armors etc. I made the ferry my temp home in lookout and made a camp in the motel(had to clean out the dogs there).

tkin said:
Yes, but you get only one chance to take the Energy Weapon bobblehead, inside the enclave fort.

Yeah thats right. Thats the only bobblehead where you get just once chance to collect. But that was easy enough for me. Lying on table of colonel's room.

You know, I cried when coming out of the fort cause there was about 20-30 enclave armors and bundles of energy weapons that was lying in there and I couldn't leave with them cause I was crossing the weight limit, soo sad.

^^You didn't have the Strong Back perk?

DeSmOnD dAvId said:
^^You didn't have the Strong Back perk?

Yes I had it, didn't matter, you know how much the armors weighted? Plus the gatling lasers weighted like a ton, too heavy to carry all, just for kicks I used TGM cheat and collected all the armors, weight went over 2000, so I could not carry them all out. Had to leave most there.

hehe...I collected all of them because my repair skill was 100 so 2-3 armors became one. Also I was walking like ant oh no slower than that but still got them all and as soon as I came out I dropped them came to megaton put everything in shelf and then came back again and collected the remaining. LOL me and Flawkes have to go two rounds just to collect all the stuff imagine how slow I was.

Sounds interesting, I am increasing my science and sneak skills. Let me post the screenshot once I get home.

Repair skill is low. And now I am on a mission to check Rivet city. Entered Project purity gift shop where super mutants reside.

Science skill was of no use for me actually. It basically allows you to hack terminals and you'll face more locs than terminal. I just maximized it to 75 and 85 after I found bobble-head but this was least apart from speech and barter as far as I can remember. Repair skill is very useful as repair charges of shopkeepers were pretty high.

When I played this game I've not gave much importance to collecting bobblehead but later I realized how important they were but taht was too late for collecting all those as I completed the whole game and the DLCs in one go but still I'm interested to know the locations of all bobbleheads ;-)

Guys did anyone here got their hands on that experimental MARV or something which fires 8 nukes at once ???

I am in the rivet city now, stole some stuff by accidents and children ran away. Mr gutsy and everyone is hostile to me in rivet city, wtf !

Reloaded previous save and everything is fine.

^ Its funny, even if you move a thing which you are not supposed to (by using the Z key), still they all become hostile.

However, I used this trick in New Vegas at the Silver Rush and literally robbed the whole store, without any problems.

I just went Rambo on Silver rush.

Better satisfaction that way.

^^
My level was low, so didn't want to try something stupid. Actually sold them at the Gun runners for an Assault Carbine.

Piyush said:

Hmm...OK thanks I don't remember it.

Faun said:
Mirelurk's lair

You know I used to use Shotgun against them. I let them come to me and then VATS and a few bullets right in face. Well I had the perk which use to give me all the action points if I VATS killed it.

gameranand said:

ghost reaper....right?

Piyush said:

Actually I didn't bought a single thing in the entire game. I was a damn good scavenger.

Piyush said:

Yeah that perk. It was my trump card in the game along with some modified and powerful weapon.

gameranand said:

The mission was not to kill the mirelurks. I was running in circles :grin:

Yeah I know. That Moira's Mission right. I actually came here before by accident and killed all of them already so mission was a walk in park for me. :))

^^killed the first behemoth in Capitol building rotunda.

^^ There are five in total and 1 have to be killed during story. Well they give pretty good loot eh don't they.

Most of the players would have met their first behemoth during the the mission which has brotherhood soldiers fighting with us.

And yes,I did it for Cassidy and she didn't even sleep with my player(pyaar ka shotgunnama).

Well then I am different. That Galaxy News Radio Behemoth was my last. I killed all others before that. Well actually I did most of the side quest before starting the story. I was at level 20 I guess when I started my story quest.

Guys, I am here now. Wiped out all the Super Mutants. Now in Underworld Ghouls city. I am exploring places without any quests. Killed Slaver Silas too in Lincoln Memorial...lol

*images.wikia.com/fallout/images/1/12/The_Mall.jpg

Wow that screenshot looks awesome. Whats the spot where you took it ??? Thats long tower where you complete Galaxy News Radio quest ???

gameranand said:

That screenshot is for reference, taken from fallout wiki.

Hey don't forget Reilly Here. She'll be in with a ghoul Doctor. She will give you a quest which is real good and rewarding. Just try speech dialogue again and again until doc wakes her up for you.

^^yeah, she is in coma.

Yeah and with a speech challenge Doc will wake her up for you. I take it you don't have very high medicine skill above 65 right or you can do that yourself. But the reward for the quest is damn good. One is a device which will give you 20 bottlecaps for every location you discover. Cool ain't it.

^^
Loved that quest. I once forgot about it and went on exploring. Then when I returned to her, I got a hellava lots of caps from all the discovered locations. Sweet!

Saved the Reilly Rangers and now got the device which will get fetch me caps if I return to Ranger's camp after discovering areas.

The reward for the quest was ranger armor or minigun.

What about the already discovered areas ?

Get Ranger Armor. The best Armor of the game for me. Didn't wore a Power Armor for this one.

For discovered areas talk to her and get the money.

How many fallout version are there???
& where to start from?

Start from Fallout 3. Although there are other Fallout games but story don't connect and also older games than this one were more of RPG cum RTS games. So start from Fallout 3 and also it has five DLCs.
Broken Steel
Operation Operation Anchorage
The Pitt
Point Lookout
Mothership Zeta.

^^yeah got the rangers armor as I already had minigun from super mutants.

Actually the Eugene Minigun is better than other miniguns but Ranger armor can't be ignored. And you got the money for discovered locations???

^^yeah, met with the Bennet Prototron.

Found an ally, sydney.

Sydney is a bad companion for me. Don't heal heal herself automatically like Flawkes and Dogmeat and so eat up all my stimpacks. Only used her for one mission where she is needed.

^^ I've not had any companions in this game untill I met Fawkess - a big reward for all of my good Karma ;-)

Yeah he is the best companion in entire game except Dogmeat of course. I had dogmeat from beginning. :))

Fawkess+Dogmeat=Absolute Powerforce(this is actually a deck's name in yu gi oh

)

It seems I have explored everything and finding no variations of enemies.

have you already killed mature deathclaws?

Faun said:

You'll find more after getting some story quests. Enemies will come different guns (Energy and plasma) and great armor and will come in good numbers.

Piyush said:

Those are unbeatable. I used to stand around while they did the dirty work.

gameranand said:

I got the nuke launcher (broken), flame thrower, laser rifle, licoln repeater (awesome), Missile launcher. Exploring areas but only finding super mutants and ghouls now.

Errr, explore ares while searching for new side quests. This will make exploring more interesting.

Like 20 or so. Will post screenie after I reach home.

Faun said:
Like 20 or so. Will post screenie after I reach home.

Here is a list of Side Quests that I know of
1.Big Trouble in Big Town
2.The Superman Gambit
3.The Wasteland Survival Guide
4.Those
5.The Nuka Cola Challenge
6.Head of State
7.The Replicated Man
8.Blood Ties
9.Oasis
10.The Power of Atom
11.Tenpenny Tower
12.Strictly Business (Only if you are a bad guy)
13.You gotta Shoot em in the Head
14.Stealing Independence
15.Trouble on the Homefront
16.Agatha's Song
17.Reilly's Rangers

These are main side quests. Others are there too but they don't get marked in your Pip Boy.
Like one where you have to fix the leaking Pipes in Megaton and then you have option to donate Scrap Metal.
A Quest about some wedding in Rivet City.
These are small ones. If you have complete most of the biggies its time to move on to the story if you have explored the Wasteland enough to your Heart's Content.

^^I don't know where do I stand, my level is 14.

OK..Level cap for the vanilla version of the game is 20 and the level cap with all DLCs is 30. Well actually Broken Steel DLC added 10 more levels.
How many quests from the list you have completed ???

Here are the stats:

Oh nice so you are a good guy. I also prefer good guys.
Don't know all about your quests as its not that informative from pipboy. Just see that list of mine and what you have completed. If you have missed something from them then complete that. Also I completed most DLCs before going for story for obvious reasons. You can do the same.

When I was on my second playthrough of bad karma I wanted Jericho but I found him dead

Also Walter seemed to just disappear after giving him some metal to fix pipes.

axes2t2 said:

Yeah Walter does disappears sometimes. Its a bug or issue with game you can say. He basically dies by falling.

Fallout is from Bethesda Studios

Yes Fallout 3 is developed and published by Bethesda. Fallout New Vegas is only published by Bethesda and developed by Obsidian. Previous fallout installments were developed and published by different companies. This series has gone into multiple hands but Bethesda made it a legend for sure.

^^I'd like to say that I enjoyed S.T.A.L.K.E.R much more than Fallout 3.

I would say that it completely depends on personal choices. I love STALKER but not more than Fallout 3. Fallout 3 is my favorite when it comes to exploration of wastelands.

STALKER is also an open-world game like Fallout3??

Yes its also like Fallout but somewhat different in every aspect and yet similar.

It's a pre war bonnet.
Pre-War outfit (Fallout 3) - The Vault, the Fallout wiki - Fallout: New Vegas and more

And the color keeps shifting between red and green. Green is

I like this game but it kind of makes me puke.I am getting head aches too.Gonna stop playing for a while.

I know what hat is that. I never used it. I used the Hat given by Moira in Wasteland Survival guide which adds a stat I guess for the entire game. Never replaced with any other.

On a misson to find the four keys for Mr Crowley but I would rather lie to him. Collecting caps to buy charon as companion.

Made Rock_it launcher, Deathclaw and Shishkebab.

But make sure to pick pocket him to get the key for Fork Constantine to get a Big Guns Bobblehead and the best power armor of the game and other regular nice stuffs.

I have seen the trailer of Fallout 3...it loads of monsters,giants...
also the rocket blast is in slow motion...the main character is with a dog...
& also he scans the opponents before attacking...

That is new type of attack system called VATS.

Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System to be more precise ;-)

Nearly 200+ hours.

I've completed the whole game and DLC's and explored almost all areas, are there any third party mods or expansions which are good?

Zangetsu said:

I've spent more than 130 hours of my precious time with this game ( all the DLC's included ) ;-)

Hmm..gameranand plays it a lot I guess...

do anyone remember that incident in vault 101 when you are just 1 year old
the player's father was reciting the words from mother's picture frame which later requires lvl 50 lockpicking when we are escaping the vault
how to open it?

You get to return to vault 101 at some point.

ok started the game again
but this time i'll be rather going for big guns/energy weapons/explosives expert character instead of melee/unarmed/sneak built

was there any way to cure stanely(the repairman in vault 101)?
as I could read some of his files inn dad's pc(patient files)

Zangetsu said:

Yeah I discovered most secrets in the game except for some. Nearly completed all the quests and found most locations. But sadly that save game was gone with format of my hard disk so when I played it again just did the essentials. I wish to play it again when I get time as you need a hell lot if time to play this one.

You will return to Vault 101 on a side quest "Trouble on Homefront" at that time come with required skill.

No you can't AFAIK.

Yeah well collect all the bottles but don't sell them. Sell them to a girl who gives a quest about Quantum Nuka Kola. She gives better price for Cola than anyone in wasteland. Also don't sell Nuka Cola Quantum as you need 20 or 30 of these for that quest.

Yeah kill them on sight no problem with it. They are just enemies nothing else. :))

Also in that quest if you are bad guy then get negative karma by doing quest for her boyfriend.

Yup, we get the blueprint for Nuka Grenade, an awesome grenade. But, I got it berfore the quest by some perk.

There is a hard to find nuka cola clear formula in there, worth a lot of caps. And taking it triggers an unmarked sidequest.

Forgot. Waaay too much.

Neither do I, but must keep some in case of an emergency. Like if you are being chased by DeathClaws near Old Olney (I think) and want to slow them down.

Its no spoiler, this is a guide. Its not like I am revealing plot details or anything.

I think the major source of caps is with the mapping device which Reilly gives us.

Be a scavenger. Collect everything and sell them and you'll never run out of money. :lol:

The Haematophage perk really gives some value to the Blood Packs lying around. Too bad, they removed this from Fallout New Vegas.

Yeah he taught me about Vampirism also. Never used that though as I had like 250+ stimpacks. :))

ok please someone list down ONLY the good DLCs of F3

All DLC in Fallout are quite good IMO. You should play all of them. Mothership Zeta takes place in a giant Alien Ship in Air though.

OK i looked for the popularity chart
looks like mothership zeta and operation anchorage are the worst
and rest 3 are good

In mothership Zeta you play in the Alien Airship while in other DLC you mentioned you go through a simulation program and complete the mission. You are retrieving some kind of data for Outcasts. Though the weapons were good.

Not to mention, in the OP Anchorage, you can use an exploit to bring back immense number of ammos, and weapons(that never degrade and never needs repairing) from the simulation into the main game.

How and which armor ?? I did bought many weapons and ammo and they served me quite well and I guess Armor too but didn't checked if they degrade or not though.

Not armor but ammo, using another exploit you can take as much ammo you want in dlc and carry it through to the game.

The weapons have extremely high HP, they never degrade, and shiny too.

PS: The power armor which you get from the dlc(after the simulation ends) do not degrade as well, they put the wrong version of the armor in the game, it has infinite HP.

Oh OK then. I guess I didn't missed anything. I got them all.

Thanks for the info.

Nevermind what DLC you want to play, first put the Broken Steel DLC and up your level cap to 30. Then, try whatever you want.

Is there a guy in that thing or just a stationary model?

Cool either way.

Stationary as some will have hard time with all that metal on the body must weight more than 20kg. Also you can easily see the gaps on knees ans where legs and upper body part is joined

But its cool.

@ Faun - where from you got that pic ? ;-)

Hammer time.

Now scouring the vaults and other locations. Got power armor training. Got AntAgonizer suit, machinist suit. Fawkes is the new companion.

^^ thanks for the source and consider Fawkes as the best companion of Fallout 3 ;-)

^^Fawkes gets stuck at times and gets in the way sometime but an invincible ally for sure.

Got the Experimental MIRV, blew up myself on first trial. Mr Keller (the glowing one) is such a nice guy. Now we share the bunker together.

On level 26 now.

resumed my F3 progress after a looong time

Wow I didn't used nukes at all in entire game except for one supermutant behemoth. But will use it in my next playthrough for sure.

and how to get to springvale
i'm doing good karma BTW

Grab everything you can see and touch and sell em. You will never run out of caps. (Actually someone told me the same thing).

And, I am not sure, but didn't you cross Springvale on the way to Megaton?

Talk to sheriff of megatown he'll give you quest and also there are 1 or 2 more quests there. Also you'll get your house there.

the sheriff guy just tells me to disarm the bomb....which i cant do right now anyways i got this quest from some lady at moriarty's saloon,and moira wants me to go to the Super-duper mart to get some stuff

You need 25 explosive skill to disarm the bomb. Try to do that quest asap.

gameranand said:

Yes do that ^^ and complete Moira's quest as they will help you explore and get the feel of the game.

Moira's quest is one of the best quest as it gives you a option to explore the game early and the rewards arn't bad either and you get a real nice perk for free according to your answers.

i completed the disarming the bomb quest.and i got a nice house too :-D

and which weapon is most effective against "Minelurks"
i'm doing the "Blood Ties" quest and i'm in a defunct railway station and there are two mine lurks i get killed even with shotguns. help!!!
and is there a bed in "my megaton home"??

You should have blown up the bomb for Moira's new ghoul looks.

Actually they are really strong for you at lower levels so try to sneak on them. Yes there is a bed on Ist floor. Its not on ground floor.

I used Combat shotgun on their face in VATS
otherwise complete MOIRA's minefield quest
you'll be able to collect more than 50 mines (if done properly)
use them as traps to blow Minelurks
AND
There is a bed in your house...search a lil bit more

PS:IF you are doing Moira's quests, then make SURE that you complete her OPTIONAL quests as well

And choose the answer dialog carefully as they finally make up for a perk purely depending on you answers.

BTW have you completed Reilly Rangers quest. The award of the quest is best armor of the game overall.

There are plenty of things and one of the quest gives you ghoul mask, wearing that makes every ghoul neutral to you.

Exactly. Actually their sex depends on their sex before their transformation into super mutant.

if anyone is interested about Mods for the game start with these ;-)

Wanderer's Edition - adds more food and drink, more injuries plus a whole new set of gear and items.

Re-Animated - more-natural-looking animations

Enhanced Weather - immersive weather effects

NMC's Texture Pack - more-attractive textures.

Fallout 3 Nexus - get more goodies

For some reasons I never use any mods at all in the game. I like vanilla version of the game in its purest form.

^well I use the mods that increase FPS by reducing/removing useless textures.

may be Mods are more suitable for a second playthrough ;-)

topgear said:

After skyrim, I started playing FO3 with ALL DLC installed

My question is regarding the Original Map:

I have completed the Project Purity Main Quest, but when I look at the MAP, there are LOTS of Undiscovered locations in the North and West

I want to know, whether these locations are directly related to some side quests OR I have to simply go to these locations and start killing like hell

P.S. Talked to lots of people in Megaton, Citadel, Rivet City etc., no one gives missions to these undiscovered locations

Yes many locations have side quests related to them. Talk to MOIRA in MEGATON. She'll give you a nice & long quest.

I got bored of exploring after a while when a couple of locations were left. Chose the explorer perk to reveal those 10-12 locations.

^^ I prefer to do that all by myself. :wink:

Yeah! I already have that perk and because of this only my MAP is showing lots of Undiscovered Location ICONS

I am currently doing the Book research missions by MOIRA

and already completed 2 chapters

Not exactly. Nowadays I am unable to play for even an hour. Its just that if I'll play then I'll play my way even if it takes me 3 months to complete a single game.

and the mod I'm using doesnt change the game at all
it only do a lil bit of "make-up" for female NPCs....make them better looking

Good luck for finding mod of your heart content.

Started playing this game yesterday.
its a different kind of RPG game.
some queries:
Q: Can I complete Side-Quests after completing Main-Quests?
Q: How to lock-pick (any method).coz I have broken all of my bob-pins

Yes you can,but no fun.

Don't remember the technique for it,first adjust the pin then either A or D.

FALLOUT 3 GOTY is my 2nd favorite game of all time after Witcher 2 EE on PC....absolutely loved Point Lookout DLC :-D

How many times did you complete play though? :-D

is Fallout 3 an open-world game.

I met moriarty..he asked for 100 caps for info about father.but after argument he increased the amount to 300 caps....**** I have to reload the checkpoint again

F3 is an open world game. If you fail in a conversation, you can always reload a save and try. Saving the game frequently is the way to go.

Don't forget to explore. And find Dog Meat.

if you are tired of walking through the huge world of F3 get a bike mod ;-)

^currently i m heading towards minefield.
this game will take time to complete.I m learning things slowly here as there are many things i.e karma,perks,skills etc.

so far I have a good karma?what happens if I have bad karma (stealing,killing)?

also in 3rd person view character walk/run looks awkward.

I played the whole game with all the DLC's - 135+ hours of gameplay.

Can't say what will happen if you have bad Karma - I always had good Karma .

In 3rd person view the character looks like David Jones when he was climbing a ladder on IGI ;-)

^Hmm 135 hrs.what abt the in-game time (Main + Side Quests)?

& I have only pistol right now so it is pain to kill ants,dogs with it.

^ well, I competed all in around 60+ hrs.(unmarked quests not included).

Try doing side missions. Awesome weapons are coming your way.

you will find two heroes ant woman and techman.

refer to the hacking tutorial, its explained there
and perks depends upon your play style

@Zangetsu

Save before you hack.

Then when you open the terminal look for a matching pattern in words,there is always some.

Like words ending in 'ing' etc

Level 20

whoah..that will take large amount of time.
I have to kill huge bosses to gain large XP+ & also complete quests

but as open-world game Fallout 3 impressed me a lot.

I haven't got the fawkess & I came to know there are 8 followers in the game including dogmeat.
& some of them joins only when u have good karma.
Fatman ammo is limited in wasteland.
Experimental MIRV (is it powerful)

u all must have played all DLC.currently in normal game the max level is 20.
& in Broken Steel DLC is level 30

exp MIRV is more powerful than Fat Man ;-)

Is it really hard to play and keep your Karma level always god - you will be awarded nicely for this .

I've layed F3 with all the DLC's installed - so leveling up beyond 20 was like a cake walk for me ;-)

Completed the main quest. Liberty prime.

now doing the side-quests...this game is huge & this is my 1st open-world game.

if u use minefield on giant ants then they will start fighting with each other

Last Main Quest is pending..but I have a doubt.

I want to make paladin cross knight as my follower..so if i go to citadel & initiate the last main quest but pause it & start doing other Side-Quests with paladin as my follower will it affect the last main-quest?

You will soon meet liberty prime. The most awesome part of the game.

And IIRC, this robot was on the 3rd floor and to make the "ICE CREAM" phrase work, one must have Level 7 in LUCK stats.
I did the same by drinking liquor and wearing Sexy Nightwear for it to work.

It's your stats like science, strength, repair, luck and intelligence.

Have really low stat for intelligence, less than 2, your character will be more retarded than a sack of potato.

Oh OK. I misunderstood you. I thought you are talking about real life intelligence. LOL. :lol:

True markings of a bethesda game.

I played it on win 8 x64, worked fine.

Strangely FNV does not have any issues.

When I used to play it back in the day, it used to randomly crash but not as frequently as you are experiencing and I could play for long periods without any problems. But it used to crash when you are least expecting it.

However, I used to only have 4 GB of RAM on my older config.

I changed the executable to address more than 2gb memory using cff explorer. Also, disabled ingame auto save and added an autosave mod from nexus.

And played once for 30mins. It didnt ccrash. Keeping my fingers crossed.

That would indicate game is working fine. If it doesn't means that game has problems as game should run without saves as well and give a New Game option on the main screen like rest of the games.

Fallout 3 as well as New Vegas have never crashed on my system.

How many mods do you have ?

i was already running fallout3.exe in compatibility mode, win xp sp3, as per suggestions. further, today i went in and decided to run fose.exe on the same compatibility mode.

BAM!!

no crashes. played a couple of hours with plenty of fast travel, loading, autosaving. but no crashes.

still using fellout+brighter nights+autosave mod.

Yeah they do load. FOMM and FOSE are basically used for mod management when you have installed like 100 mods and modify their load order. For less amount of mods normal modding works just fine as well.

my crashing bug is back.

now its crashing after the Arefu city incident. When i access the tunnel from the seneca metro station to the next where Ian is supposed to be, it just crashes. also, when i fast travel from, say, Megaton to Seneca Metro Station, it crashes. doesnt happen anywhere else.

Got bored after a while, both in 3 and NV. It was a good timekill at the time though.

My favourite DLC was Point Lookout, followed by The Pitt. Broken Steel was good in that it extended the game after the ending of the vanilla game and increased the level cap.

Didn't like Operation Anchorage that much. Mothership Zeta was okayish in that it is based in space but little else other than that.

Fallout 3 and NV seriously need a good facemod/bodymod. Thank's to mods this was made possible.

Well modders have always loved Bethesda games and provided much needed supports when Bethesda didn't. Those unofficial patches are critical for even simple gameplay.

Na re its not that. ENB with some texture mods and face mods can easily turn your average game into a damn awesome looking game. I have achieved results like that as well in F3 and some other games as well, you just need to know some stuff about editing ini and all. See vanilla DAO screenshots and then compare them with my modded DAO screenshots. You'll clearly see the difference when when DAO was not really a mod friendly game due to memory leaks.

These games are meant for modding so obviously you can take vanilla and change it to something like this or maybe even better.

You should always use Unofficial patches. They have a lot of bugfixes that BethSoft was too lazy to address. They even fix some broken quests.

But Mod Organizer is even better. It does not add any extra files to the Fallout 3 data directory, thus not risking breaking anything. Only downside is that you have to run the game from within Mod Organizer everytime.

From what I know about modding, MO is better than NMM.

Mod Organiser?? I was using FOMM.. and i just fire up the game from within FOMM everytime.

and so far, the majority of the mods i have used are NMC's texture, HD audio overhaul, GNR Radio; and each of them REQUIRES to have files to be put inside /Data folder. and GNR has an .esp file too IIRC.

Apart from that, im using CASM[Auto save], fellout + brighter nights. those are pretty light and have only a few files.

So how will MO help me?

Mod Organizer does not add the mod files to the /data/ directory at all. It adds the files at runtime when you launch it from within Mod Organizer.

When you are done with the game, the data directory remains clean.

Features from the above link:

MO has several unique features not found in any other comparable tool:

-Mods are kept completely isolated from each other -> no more messy data directory (1)
-Profiles (2)
-Drag&Drop load order AND installation order management
-full control over the priority of BSA files (3)
-Nexus integration for easy download, installation and update of mods
-GUI support for manual installers
-partial compatibility with BAIN and fomod installers
-Savegame viewer
-active required mods from save game
-Archive Invalidation
-Categorize mods for better overview (customizable)
-easy overview of file conflicts
-complete help system
-Supports Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout NV and Skyrim
-no dependencies. Just unpack and go
-localization (currently: german, spanish, french and chinese)
-automatic self-updates
-BSA unpacking

Faun said:

Not much really. Performance drop is not noticeable if not using too many mods. However if you start game with 50+ mods of large size then it will take some time.

Faun said:

As gameranand says, its takes next to no time.

It shows the game a virtual folder [strike](not sure how this is implemented)[/strike] with all the mods and data files and the game runs normally.

From the below link:

Mod Organizer takes a very different and revolutionary approach. It never writes files to the game data directory, but instead creates and uses a virtual filing system (VFS). It is called virtual because it does NOT exist on the regular file system and only exists when MO tells a program it exists. When the game is started by MO, it is unaware of this VFS and thinks it uses the regular Windows file system. Therefore, all installed mods are loaded and used normally. The same is true for any other program started by MO (e.g., BOSS, Boss Userlist Manager (BUM), WB, etc.).

The VFS is constructed using a technique called hooking. Hooking is not an uncommon technique and progams like SKSE, ENB, SweetFX and ENBBoost use it. In the case of MO, hooking involves intercepting the Windows system calls and injects its VFS into the file system. In other words, it 'hooks' itself into the regular Windows filing system and changes it.

That sounds cool. I wonder if they can just create symlinks and just do a rollback. But I guess hooks provide more low level access and latitude to tinker with.

But one would still require to paste texture/audio mods into the /data folder, right? MO will not be able to force textures from other folder to load, would it?

anirbandd said:

Well of course. Making a mod and modding a game heavily are both different things but require great amount of details that you need to know. You have to know what mod does what and in what order as well. You might install a large texture pack and won't see any difference because of load order and other conflicts.

^AFAIK from my limited knowledge of applying 3-4 texture mods, they do not have any .esm files for FOMM to load before/after the main esms.

Ex: NMCs_Texture_Pack_for_FO3 at Fallout3 Nexus - mods and community <-- see the manual installation procedure. only copy-paste.

There is a textmod application which injects textures at runtime during game load. That's how I am running NFS Most Wanted 2005 with high res textures. Takes a while to transfer the texture.

Try using different texture for tress, grass, weapons, armors. Maybe mix them together, you want weapon texture from Weapon and Armor mod but want weapon texture from Immersive weapon mod. I am talking about these scenarios. And when you rack them up with too many mods, trust me it gets really really messy.

Okay then. Since im already using a few mods, I finish this play through like this. Next one Will be a clean install and MO.
