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

[QUOTE=Skanic;43013446]As long as the physics isnt tied to PhysX.[/QUOTE] REMEMBER: PhysX is like Havok - they're physics libraries for games that allow objects to physically interact with each other. For example: ARMA 3 uses PhysX, but it's for objects interacting with each other, and does not require a GPU to use it. BUT, PhysX GPU based processing is bullshit because that restricts ~50% of PC users (according to [url=http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/]Steam Survey[/url] which I KNOW that it doesn't represent all PC users) from using cloth Physics if it would be using PhysX.

Man, riot shotgun paired with shotgun surgeon and "and stay back" feels fucking op as hell

I don't know why everyone thinks Fallout 3 is more stable. I have more crashes in vanilla and with mods than I do in New Vegas in vanilla and with mods. And theres a lot more "hunt through these 20 mods trying to find which one crashes my game in 10 minutes of playing instead of the normal 30 minutes"

One of the Fallout blogs I follow on Tumblr came up with this. Take it with a grain of salt I guess, since it's Tumblr (and I can't personally verify everything in this post, but here it is: [quote]22:44 - Folks at a [url=http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,14064.0.html]pirate radio forum[/url] notice [url=https://pay.reddit.com/r/Fallout/comments/1rjw98/the_survivor_2299_speculation_and_hype_megathread/cdoimmj]odd transmissions on 3450Hz near Boston.[/url] * A [url=http://turbolego.com/%5BMegafileupload%5Ds920.wav]short section[/url] of a transmission ([url=http://picosong.com/qvdn/]MP3[/url], shorter file). * [url=https://pay.reddit.com/r/Fallout/comments/1rjw98/the_survivor_2299_speculation_and_hype_megathread/cdolfyi]Redditors were able to translate[/url] the DTMF (phone) tones in the transmission above to “IMSECURE” (I’m secure?), probably in response to the last morse code provided in the front page (“return transmission”). Concerns have been raised that 3450 is an illegal frequency to use, however [url=http://www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/comments/1rjw98/the_survivor_2299_speculation_and_hype_megathread/cdokkzh]fiberkanin suggests possibly otherwise.[/url] A woman’s voice said at one point “the next transmission is at 0200 UTC”. Nothing was heard. Over the next 6 hours, an air raid siren is occasionally heard, and uninterpretable voices 20:30 - [url=http://runslow.com/2013_11_27_20_40_03.txt]Front page[/url] has [url=http://www.thesurvivor2299.com/radio/Prov-5296576f14c63.mp3]new morse code:[/url] CQ CQ CQ BST IS GONE II BST IS GONE N HPE FREQ 3450 RT GB AMERICA “Calling all stations, calling all stations, calling all stations. Boston is gone, I repeat, Boston is gone. No Hope. Frequency 3450 Return Transmission. God Bless America.” The frequency 3450 lead to the ~20:44 discovery of an odd transmission on 3450Hz. File is named Prov; no confirmation of what it means yet. Some suggest Providence, RI, which is close to Boston.

I just checked the 2299 site. It says there is now 2 days left. Oh jeezums

Mirror's edge, Arkham Asylum and City and pretty much all other titles just reek of implementeurs not having a basic clue what they're doing and how to balance it for performance.

So I have two more achievements left. [IMG]http://puu.sh/5wrGN.png[/IMG] I have to win 30 games of this caravan bullshit, oh god someone kill me now. Caravan is boring as fuck.

I can never even make out the caravan card numbers on the screen

Anyone know of a pack for the Classic Fallout Weapons for Fallout 3 (not New Vegas) that makes the textures less shitty? Better yet, anyone know if the new meshes and textures from the New Vegas pack could be used to replace the old ones without issue?

Talking about achievements I'm missing like the half of them because I'm using the console all the time just to mess around a bit, still I don't care much for achievements.

[QUOTE=Hat-Wearing Man;43014308]I can never even make out the caravan card numbers on the screen[/QUOTE] I don't even know how to play caravan and I don't really care enough to learn

caravan really isn't that hard just read the holotape you're given

[QUOTE=E.C.S;43014411]Talking about achievements I'm missing like the half of them because I'm using the console all the time just to mess around a bit, still I don't care much for achievements.[/QUOTE] I just use Steam Achievement Manager since I change my FOV every time I start the game, and that seems to disable them. And it makes it look like I cheated for a majority of them [IMG]http://puu.sh/5wtwB.png[/IMG]

So in your guys' opinion, which vault experiments are the most dark and twisted

Still, you can set the default fov in Fallout.ini and worry about one less problem. [QUOTE=for no reason;43014586]So in your guys' opinion, which vault experiments are the most dark and twisted[/QUOTE] Still trying to remember them all, but Vault 11 was a really dark experiment and what some people did there.

[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;43014176]I just checked the 2299 site. It says there is now 2 days left. Oh jeezums[/QUOTE] Yeah. And this was posted on Reddit. [t]http://i.imgur.com/ZrqI8Lh.png[/t] (look at the end date too.) [editline]poo[/editline] I'm going to go ahead and declare this whole survivor2299 situation as real. The three things that have sealed it for me: -- Bethesda conveniently saying "We don't comment on rumours" when they have done the exact opposite 2 times this year alone. (Prey 2 website and hidden FO4 trailer.) -- Hey look, new Fallout merchandise for no reason in particular. -- Real radio signal, flight test, etc. Actually a fourth thing: It's about time.

[QUOTE=E.C.S;43014600]As soon you activate the console, achievements are disable no matter if you did something or not. Still, you can set the default fov in Fallout.ini and worry about one less problem.[/QUOTE] I've tried changing the FOV in all the .ini files but it's never worked. I tried making them read only and still didn't work.

[QUOTE=aussiedropbear;43014648]I've tried changing the FOV in all the .ini files but it's never worked. I tried making them read only and still didn't work.[/QUOTE] Yeah, try to modify all the .ini that have "fDefaultFOV=". There is on documents and another inside the Fallout folder.

[QUOTE=for no reason;43014586]So in your guys' opinion, which vault experiments are the most dark and twisted[/QUOTE] I'd have to say 11

[QUOTE=E.C.S;43014698]Yeah, try to modify all the .ini that have "fDefaultFOV=". There is on documents and another inside the Fallout folder.[/QUOTE] I tried changing them all to a FOV of 100 and still not working.

[QUOTE=for no reason;43014586]So in your guys' opinion, which vault experiments are the most dark and twisted[/QUOTE] Vault 68 for the woman

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;43014853]Vault 68 for the woman[/QUOTE] I think you mean for the men..

[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;43014176]I just checked the 2299 site. It says there is now 2 days left. Oh jeezums[/QUOTE] You mean 12 days left? What ever happens, happens on the 11th of December.

[QUOTE=-n3o-;43014964]You mean 12 days left? What ever happens, happens on the 11th of December.[/QUOTE] Uh he's talking about the secondary countdown to nuclear winter.

[QUOTE=silentjubjub;43014984]Uh he's talking about the secondary countdown to nuclear winter.[/QUOTE] Whoooooops!

Stealth Suit Mk. II is my waifu. Really wish there was some sort of helmet though.

holla holla [IMG]http://puu.sh/5wDF3.png[/IMG] Caravan is actually really easy, for those who want to get this achievement as well this is how I did it. Build up your deck of 10's 9's 7's, picture cards (jacks and kings) and any other cards if you don't have enough to start the game. Your goal is to have a score of 26 so really all you need to do is place the cards down in this order 10 9 7 which automatically's equals 26. At the same time you're going to want to fuck up your opponents caravans preventing them from winning with your kings and jacks, use your kings when they have a score of at least 20 so they go over and use the jacks to subtract of their score.

What's some good graphics mods for NV? I've got NMC already If you're going to suggest multiple, please suggest ones that are compatible. I don't like having to choose :v:
