Fallout Series Thread V14: When i entered this thread i was hoping there would be more gambling

[QUOTE=M.Ciaster;41975028]Don't think they ever ported Wanderer's Edition to F3 - but IIRC Project Nevada's Rebalance module has a FWE preset, and lets you adjust all the values like damage/weight/whatever as you see fit. Or you could use J.E. Sawyer's Mod which is basically the Director's Cut version of the game (hell, it is the Director's Cut, IMDB lists him as the director after all :v:) but isn't compatible with PN's Rebalance (it does work perfectly with the rest of Project Nevada, though, and is a very good combination)

And yeah, can't go ten meters in F3 without trippin' over a stimpak.[/QUOTE]

Since I always use FWE and make everything aside from ammo rare as fuck (Keep that one at default, I got lots of raiders to shoot), I experience the POLAR OPPOSITE of this. I actually ended up buying and finding all the stimpacks around the entire middle area of the map, I have been entirely reliant on quick saving and town doctors. My most recent playthrough has been the worst, I've barely been able to find enough to keep me above half health. (Gonna have to go to Rivet City pretty soon to stock up)

Finding a stimpack is the most amazing thing in the universe with that mod, I swear.

[QUOTE=ClarkWasHere;41975949]How the heck do the NCR and the Legion know that you nuked them in the first place?[/QUOTE]

I'd be more curious to know how people in Fallout 3 even know anything about your karma.

"shhh, I heard this guy robbed a chem store even though nobody has seen him, he's literally Hitler"

*20 minutes later*

"HERE COMES OUR MESSIAH, STEPPING OUT OF THE GREAT RANDOM METRO TUNNEL WHEREIN HE SLAUGHTERED EXACTLY 73 FERAL GHOULS WITH A SINGLE CRITICAL SHOT TO THE HEAD, THE GREATEST DEED KNOWN TO MAN"

Mr. House has the same birthday as me, although a few years later. Relatedly, how do I disable him without killing him?

[Blueleaf]

So I may have accidentally made the Van Graffs hostile to me.

Also I may have responded to that hostility by killing all the Van Graffs.

On the bright side, at least my companions can help me carry all these free energy weapons.

There are only two options.

[sp]You kill him. Or you unplug him from controls. Both of these options open up his chamber and the bacteria that gets in kills him in a manner of few years/a year?[/sp]

Would be an interesting game mechanic where your karma doesn't take effect until a few days later, giving gossip time to work.

If you use a Stealth Boy you can enter their store and rob them absolutely blind, incurring neither their wrath nor a negative karma penalty.

That's what I did, and then I sold back as much as I could to them and took off.

Nah, they just tune into GNR. Three Dog's got eyes in the back of everybody's head, after all, how else would he know when you do something as trivial as farting on a radroach?!

That was the plan.

I'm guessing the fact I had three not invisible people and a robot following behind me probably gave me away.

How Karma works in Fallout 3:

Kill an entire city, you are very evil, everyone hates you. Go to Megaton, donate to the church, you are forgiven and you are loved by everyone.

They're not supposed to. The game doesn't check your companions, just your own sneak skill. There's been many a time I've been sneaking around while my followers literally rub their faces into the enemy's crotch, yet said enemy doesn't even react.

I have, however, noticed that Gloria is pretty damn good at spotting you. Even with a stealth boy I've been busted stealing her shit a few times.

[Zethiwag]

Next character: Rad Child and Atomic!. Deadly radiation poisoning? Health and AP out the ass! Nevermind that my hair is falling out and I'm puking blood everywhere, I'll be positively glowing

[JennyC6]

Bask in Atom's Glow and be divided!

[Andaeeee]

ever wondered what happens if you resurrect Initiate Jennings in FO3?

Is there a Fallout equivalent of Kool-Aid?

Mutfruit juice.

[Skelosk]

Anyone else gets stuck on loading screens? I can't progress in the game because of that, as soon as I get in a new zone, it gets stuck in loading.

Every couple of hours for me.

[TonyJZX]

yeah it happens

i also get CTD every so often

its a running joke even penny arcade and whatever run with it

[Zaravan]

If i was enough of a douchebag to nuke someone at the end of Lonesome Road, it would be the Legion.

[B][I]Because FUCK the Legion.[/I][/B]

Is it worth me replaying Fallout with A Tale of Two Wastelands? Depending on how buggy it all is.

I'm debating whether to jump right in New Vegas after so long again with the mods on the front page, or just start from Fallout 3.

It's not really that buggy at all. Worth it IMO.

true but Long 15 has awesome awesome loot... not that anyone needs multple sets of power armor at this point

btw. here's my game progression:

finished 4 dlc
nuked long 15 and dry wells
saved kimball
i think i've completed all companion quests inc. Ed-E (this one is painful)

but i never met up with Colonel Moore and she left and the mission is gone.

I think I can spawn the mission and continue? sounds ok?

[editline]28th August 2013[/editline]

actually i just checked my quest log

i'm on Eureka! (the last one) but i remember colonel moore just ended and i didnt get to see Oliver

i wonder how i start it?

I find the game orders of magnitude more stable in DC than I do in the Mojave. So go nuts.

If you 'fail' the quest 'Don't Tread on the Bear' Moore and Crocker are removed from the game.

[TonyJZX]

it doesnt matter

i found a way to force Eureka to start
