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

[QUOTE=Sableye;42718240]as much as no vats sounds fun...combat in fallout is just boring without vats because its just a couple guys standing a few feet apart shooting at each other with no regards for personal survival such as taking cover or...not standing in the open [editline]31st October 2013[/editline] if you are really stuck you can temporarily boost your science skill with the console, then just reset it back to the original level once your done[/QUOTE] You can add a mod for increase AI if you wish. But there are plenty of unique ways to kill people in fo3. I personally use a power fist or deathclaw gauntlet.

What are some good graphical mods? At the moment I got ENB Series, the weapon re-texture project and NMC's HD textures. Are there any other good mods or is that it?

[QUOTE=Jetpack Bear;42713291]You should save Dead Money until you're a really high level so you can get all of the skill checks because some of them are really bad[/QUOTE] That DLC is also a glitchy mess.

[QUOTE=LogicalReflex;42715468]For those of you that still play fallout 3... I have a challenge for you. The Survival Challenge. The parameters for this challenge are: Play on very hard No visiting shops anything you use you must salvage from the wasteland Only carry things you would be able to carry in real life. If you find new armor and decide to use it you must leave your old armor behind. You can only carry 1 pistol, 1 hunting rifle, 1 set of clothes/armor, a little bit of food/health items that you salvage. You cannot search through mirelurks or ghouls as in real life you wouldn't search through a beast that was full of radiation. No VATS ever. And finally if you die you die... No reloading your game. Post your results on here :)[/QUOTE] sounds like new vegas hardcore ... that shit is easy btw.

I paid Smitty 2000+ caps in good faith that he would repair my car... I thanked him, blocked the doorway, and shot him in the groin until he stopped moving. I'm sorry Smitty.

[QUOTE=Loriborn;42718580]didnt experience a single bug in dead money besides the crash after attempting to leave, which i eventually worked around far more bugs in the vanilla new vegas[/QUOTE] In Dead Money, every time I'd die because of my bomb collar, my game crashed. It also crashed after the final fight, forcing me to go through it another two times.

What should I do about Raider Followers? I want my own gang to go raiding, plundering and pillaging with at New Vegas. Bonus points if most/all are expendable red shirts that I can replace after each raid if they happen to snuff it.

[QUOTE=Morderator;42713488]I'll never get used to the damn subways in Fallout 3. It's a giant claustrophobic maze, especially now that I've given up on fast travel, it's a pita compared to FO:NV where everything is nice and in the sun.[/QUOTE] Part of me likes the subways in Fallout 3. I liked how they were scary and you had to use signs and shit to figure out where you were going. Though I think that they were definitely over used, a few subways here and there would be cool, but having to use them to get anywhere in DC gets a bit annoying.

[I]"Hey guys, You have to use the metro to get around quickly in DC, right? Let's make that a feature of the game!"[/I] I mean god, in London you have to use the tube to get around, but that's not a good thing! I bloody hate the tube! It's terrible. If I wanted to spend 3 fucking hours using underground tunnels to get around, I would just GO to London.

Even despite the subways, - which I liked - DC is still ten times more interesting than the entire Mojave.

DC was boring as sin. 90% of it was empty streets or streets filled with Super Mutants. The only good parts in DC were where you could see the Enclave or Talon Company fucking with the mutants, occasionally the BoS.

With all the shops, side roads with loot, bombed out buildings you could scale? Hell no, DC was fun.

[QUOTE=El Fonz0;42715819]i wish after you complete Honest Hearts you could go back and get the companions to join you would have loved to introduce follows-chalk to the amazing world of blackjack and hookers[/QUOTE] They really should have made that possible; sending a sheltered tribal dude into a war-torn wasteland full of people that would kill him as soon as look at him seems irresponsible. Personally I wanted to make Joshua Graham my bro so we could go confront Caesar together. Graham could get revenge or whatever and I get to hear more awesome scripture while I cleanse the wasteland.

Try to install TTW, but it keeps saying Sound.bsa can't be patched (or something along those lines) Failed to contact key server when I try to play Fallout 3. That might be a problem. I'll wait for it to resolve.

I still wish it was possible to become the ultimate NCR president dude guy by throwing both Oliver and Kimball off the dam and convincing the rest of the NCR peeps how much those two guys sucked anyway compared to a murderous courier who has an inventory full of weapons and other junk.

I'm not sure if you can spawn generic Raiders from Fallout 3, though.

[QUOTE=Pops;42719564]sounds like new vegas hardcore ... that shit is easy btw.[/QUOTE] I look forward to watching your attempt ;) But yeah It is quite easy but it mainly depends on if you know where to find decent loot. New Vegas Hardcore is a ton easier than the challenge though. If you want a major challenge.... Do my challenge with Increased AI and Difficulty mods on.

His videos are pretty entertaining. Reason I ask is because if you play on PC you can download a ton of companion mods. Some really good companions and he has about 10 companions that follow him around everywhere. Maybe that would be something you would be interested in? If you don't have it on PC It's pretty cheap now. I have two copies of fallout 3 on PS3. Fallout 3 standard and fallout 3 GOTY. I also have fallout new vegas and fallout new vegas ultimate. but then I saw a quakecon pack on steam got fallout 3 goty and fallout new vegas ultimate as well as a ton of other games for £59 in the quakecon pack... I'm sure it's only £6 or so now. Don't quote me on that though. Hope I helped [editline]1st November 2013[/editline] I see a lot of discussion here about fallout 3 and new vegas. Have any of you played Fallout 1? Fallout 2? Tactics? etc imo the older games were a ton better. Fallout 3 and New vegas were great additions to the series don't get me wrong... but you can't beat the classics.

[QUOTE=Loriborn;42718580]didnt experience a single bug in dead money besides the crash after attempting to leave, which i eventually worked around far more bugs in the vanilla new vegas[/QUOTE] My Vanilla Fallout NV experience was nearly bug free before playing Dead Money.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;42725599]My Vanilla Fallout NV experience was nearly bug free before playing Dead Money.[/QUOTE] I encountered a ton of bugs in new vegas and dead money until I started playing New vegas on PC. Consoles can't really handle the games as well as the PC can.

It's been 200 years FFS, why aren't there any towns or settlements in the DC ruins? Would have made it way cooler if there were a few towns or villages hidden within the DC ruins.

Would have made it way cooler if there were a few towns or villages hidden within the DC ruins.[/QUOTE] I feel like DC would've made far more sense if the game had simply been set a hundred years earlier. As for the harshness though, I like to think that it was hit harder initially, as well as the fact that it's home to more murderous monsters and fewer forces for civilization, all of which make life extremely hard for the people living around there. Arefu is like 4 families living on a bridge with one guy watching the entrance all the time; they're not exactly in a position to expand. Megaton is kind of xenophobic, at least when it comes to people wanting to buy a house. They have huge walls that I don't imagine are easy to expand. Tenpenny Tower is a bunch of "rich" assholes who have no desire to interact with anyone outside their ivory tower anyway. DC itself is absolutely infested with Super Mutants and feral ghouls. The only people who manage to live in there are the normal ghouls, because both aforementioned parties ignore them, and the Brotherhood, who get by on virtue of being heavily armed and xenophobic.

Actually, it's explained ingame that Arefu used to be a much larger settlement, but when the Family began to harass them several of the residents dismantled their shacks and departed.

[QUOTE=Blooper Reel;42727222]Actually, it's explained ingame that Arefu used to be a much larger settlement, but when the Family began to harass them several of the residents dismantled their shacks and departed.[/QUOTE] Oh, that's neat, I never found that out. But regardless, that's exactly the kind of thing that's hindering settlements.

Think of it like this, without the Vault Dweller, things probably wouldn't have gone the same way as it was in NV. NCR wouldn't have developed, super mutants would have dominated the west by now. With the Vault Dweller, this made every weak faction grow into a better organization. Causing everyone to believe they can make a difference too. I think you know what I mean now.

It's better to place it in a box just so you don't lose it when you run through your house.
