I got tired of Fallout 3 on PC crashing and freezing all the time, So I bought it on 360 (Yes, No mods but it doesnt freeze every 10 minutes) and I've played 15 hours so far and I got some questions;

I forgot that the sheriff in megaton gets killed if you dont kill Mr burke, So now both of them are dead; Does this mean I can't get the megaton house if I disarm the nuke?

I helped Roy slaughter every human in tenpenny tower, Is there any possible way to get the hotelroom there?

[Dashiel]

Is there any way I can trick Steam into thinking that I'm in the US so I can get FoNV tomorrow rather than Friday?

[Lexinator]

Hopefully We can run it when steams not running... because it does say can be used offline

And offline mode is horrible on steam

Yup. Login with a proxy, decrypt the game, start it, disable proxy and enjoy.

Although i do not recommend it.

so far New Vegas is getting good buzz from gaming critics, one even said "As far as I am concerned, Alpha Protocol never happened now. Slate's clean.", which is annoying because I liked Alpha Protocol for what it was, but it is very encouraging.

Well I can't even pre-load it so decrypting won't do anything :v:

[QUOTE=FuzzyPoop;25481352]Yes, i don't want to install a fucking crack on my legit copy.[/QUOTE]

[editline]18th October 2010[/editline]

Clarifying why I don't, mainly because say you've got to patch the game because of a game-breaking bug - you've got to find your old exe and then install the patch and then look for a no-cd crack. It seems stupid to do.

I honestly think modded Fallout 3 is better than New Vegas but.. I could be wrong.

Uh, anyone with a least bit of intelligence names his old executable with a prefix like "old", and leaves it in the folder. It's not hard to find. If you can't find a crack after patching, then you just do the old method. It's not hard. It takes literally a minute or less.

If you have it modded, then why do you insist on using the big-ass vanilla UI?

[Lexinator]

Just clarifying Once installed with steam you can run it without steam running? because it did say play it offline

[Scoops]

[QUOTE=Da Jester;25483091]I honestly think modded Fallout 3 is better than New Vegas but.. I could be wrong.[/QUOTE]

So you have played New Vegas?

and why the fuck are there STALKER Pseudo Dogs in your Fallout 3? thats just wrong.

[no-named]

I remember I saw somewhere saying it would be released the 18th. Is that in stores? As Steam's release date is this Friday, 22nd.

[Da Jester]

[QUOTE=UnidentifiedFlyingTard;25483209]So you have played New Vegas?

I'm guessing it's MMM, There are iguanas and deathclaws and those fucking wasp things too. MMM adds a bunch of wildlife.

Dunno which UI to use

[Kallemort]

DarnUI is just a smaller vanilla one, I'd stick with that.

[Novangel]

Well I won't return here until I get New Vega but I vote the next thread be called 'Animations? I 'ardly knew 'er'

[Paravin]

Due to heavy finance problems I had to cancel my preorder. Meeting my girlfriend > New Vegas. For now. :smith:

[editline]18th October 2010[/editline]

I just hope my money gets returned in time, or it was all in vain. :smithicide:

[markfu]

That's why you don't get a girlfriend, so you can spend all your money on games.

God I'm so lonely

Zybourne Clock

There is an encounter, only found with the Wild Wasteland trait, in which the player finds a dead man named Johnny who is surrounded by various objects including four orange balls positioned on the end of a cliff. This is a reference to Zybourne Clock, a failed amateur game project originating on the Something Awful forums, specifically to an infamous piece of poorly-drawn concept art that has since become a meme, and to an often mocked line about time working like four balls positioned on the edge of a cliff.

SomethingAwful

The YCS/186 Gauss rifle is named for Gauss, a forums member who posts primarily on a subforum called YCS that has the forum ID number 186.

what's with Obsidian and referencing SA? Why can't devs ever throw references to FP? Something subtle, like a furry pretending to be a girl.

Because the project director 'rope kid' is a long time poster and fan of SA. He frequently posts in the Fallout thread in Games.

[benzi2k7]

SA has a buttload of game devs.

woah

"Played New Vegas for two days and have only officially completed two quests. Fucking hell!"

[PEn1s lol]

lol I preordered it from eb games so no steam internet bullshit for me.

[bepassley]

[QUOTE=PEn1s lol;25485492]lol I preordered it from eb games so no steam internet bullshit for me.[/QUOTE]

no mod bullshit for you either since the pc version is steamworks only and i assume that means you got a console version

[Ray-The-Sun]

[QUOTE=PEn1s lol;25485492]lol I preordered it from eb games so no steam internet bullshit for me.[/QUOTE]
All PC copies are steamworks, :downs:-bro.

[bepassley]

read both posts above you

[The_Newb2]

T-minus 16 hours until alot of people fuck up their sleep patterns.

[QUOTE=MasterG;25485683]I liked fallout 3, so more of the same is fine by me. A few combat mods, and a few armour reskins for variation, and I'll be perfectly happy.

[editline]18th October 2010[/editline]

Is this game GFWL AND Steamworks, or just Steamworks?

[editline]18th October 2010[/editline]

Oh well, google found me the most important parts:

Steam achievements and cloud storage is fine by me. It'll be nice to be able to pop round a friend's house who has it, and carry my saves over and show them shit, even if I DO have to deal with shit for windows live.[/QUOTE]I don't think NV has GFWL?

[reecematee]

not out till the friday here in the UK, will be picking it up either Friday or Saturday, choosing this over Black ops, so i hope im making the right decision

[editline]18th October 2010[/editline]

[QUOTE=MasterG;25485889]I get it boxed copy on friday, and the week after is half-term week...

There goes my research time!

[editline]18th October 2010[/editline]

Thank fuck. So many issues with Live for FO3, I had to get a mod to get rid of it.[/QUOTE]

same thing here, a whole week of staying up late i think :v:

[cjone2]

Hopefully my pre-order will come a day early as it often does from game hope if it does it isn't locked out though that would suck

If it's for PC, it's locked out.

[mercurius]

How many hours until it does unlock?
