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

Try running it in XP compatibility mode maybe? And/or tell Windows to disable composition?

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;44426074]It's got something to do with recent CPUs having more than two cores, and Fallout 3 being flat out unable to use quadcore CPUs, to the point it makes the game CTD constantly. Basically the issue's got more to do with the specific version of gamebryo used with F3 shitting itself over modern hardware than W7 itself. To fix it, do that : Solution's been going around basically since the release of W7.[/QUOTE] Is it a complete fix? What's up with the Blades and the Regulators?

[QUOTE=seano12;44426692] What's up with the Blades and the Regulators?[/QUOTE] If we tell you it'll ruin it. Just ask around, see what people's opinions on them are and form your own.

The regulators on one hand are saying that they kidnap their people at night and kill them, and the blades say that the regulators are terrible people. I'm more apt to believe the regulators as it seems they have better people. Zimmerman wants me to kill their leader, but I think I should level up a bit more and get some bettuh armor.

[QUOTE=TestECull;44425631]DT, but it's still not perfect. Major glaring flaw is that it's not even necessary, anyone semi-skilled at FPS can play the entire game through all 50 levels without a single point of it. Secondly, it doesn't actually mitigate damage below that threshhold. Some still bleeds through. Which makes it kinda funny when you plink a deathclaw to death with a varmint rifle despite having enough DT to ignore such low power arms entirely.[/QUOTE] They should just have a quick luck save for every shot that is below the DT. If the roll succeeds, no damage, if it doesn't, then you just take the regular reduced damage.

[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;44426338]Well I looked in the .ini and that fix was already there, I might have put it there a year or two ago and forgot about it... tried the other suggestion and it doesn't work. Oh well, guess I'll just go back to New Vegas.[/QUOTE] Well if you have new vegas you can always install TTW.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;44432789]Well if you have new vegas you can always install TTW.[/QUOTE] Wouldn't that just make it more unstable though?

[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;44432839]Wouldn't that just make it more unstable though?[/QUOTE] Not really. New Vegas is more stable on W7 than Fallout 3. If it doesn't work you can always revert back to standard New Vegas, TTW is basically a ton of .bsa files repacked and patched that you put in your New Vegas folder with one .esm to implement them properly.

[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;44432839]Wouldn't that just make it more unstable though?[/QUOTE] Nope! Playing FO3 in TTW is more stable for me than FO3 itself ever was. And you get the added bonus of NV's improved gameplay and arsenal.

Anyone else think that Dermot and St James in Westside might be from the Capital Wasteland (or at least Dermot) since Dermot wears a RobCo jumpsuit and police hat which are common in Fallout 3 but unique to him in NV, and their [sp]"practical" view on slavery[/sp]?

It might be a subtle nod to Paradise Falls but I don't think it's an actual connection. obsidian did mention that the events of New Vegas bore absolutely the minimum connection to events in DC. Then again the Wasteland Survival Guide is present in the Mojave, so it's entirely possible I'm full of shit.

Stuff like Ranger Ghost (a personal favourite NPC of mine) being albino isn't mentioned in-game but confirmed by Word of God.

I would just say it is reused assets but since they are unique to him it might be possible. [editline]2nd April 2014[/editline] I don't know why someone would want to travel across the whole country without proper transportation though

I have no idea where I read that.

I no longer have to worry about anything that wants to kill me now. Signature weapon mod has made my M4A1 more powerful in every way aside from ammo capacity than even the CZ57 Avenger minigun. DPS is 532 with FMJ ammo, with HP ammo it's 743. I can shred entire scores of ghouls now. Only real issue right now is that nobody stocks fucking 5.56 ammo right now. It took me an ingame month to build up my old ammo stores of over 1000 rounds.

[QUOTE=seano12;44433814]How much better is F2?[/QUOTE] Pop culture references out the wazoo, better selection of weapons, no time limit, Marcus, etc.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;44433588]The snow white skin, pale lips, white hair, sunglasses to cover her eyes, and the nickname Ghost don't confirm it?[/QUOTE] I almost always make my characters practically albino (though my current Fallout 3/New Vegas character is Asian non-albino) so it just seemed natural to me to see someone else like that. Besides, all the best snipers wear shades, and Ghost doesn't even need a scope.

[QUOTE=overwatch pvt;44426052]Has anyone else had an issue with TTW where, once they get to New Vegas, they can't use the vigor tester? It's grinded my playthrough to halt with not being able to leave the doc's house.[/QUOTE] Anyone have a fix for this?

[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;44433333]I seem to remember that the east coast BoS got there by blimp or something equally ridiculous. I have no idea where I read that.[/QUOTE] Trail of Tears-esque travel to Nevada would be cooler.

Seems to me that independent slaving rings live and thrive throughout the East Coast due to the lack of any major law enforcement and/or governing body. In the west, slaving is pretty much a oligopoly controlled by the Slaver's Guild and the Legion. There's no indication that Dermot and St. James have any ties to either organization, so who knows. Although just because Dermot has a Robco suit doesn't necessarily mean he's an East Coaster. Considering, y'know, the mojave is currently where the founder of Robco resides :v:

[QUOTE=cdr248;44434206]Trail of Tears-esque travel to Nevada would be cooler.[/QUOTE] Doing anything in the east coast entails a Trail of Tears type journey.

[QUOTE=cdr248;44434206]Trail of Tears-esque travel to Nevada would be cooler.[/QUOTE] Trail of LAER's, more like. Eh? Eh? ... I'll see myself out.

Anyone know what will happen if I don't show up for the crimson caravan's caravan? I took one of their escort missions and I realized I'm not high enough level, nor do I have sufficient arms. Nevermind I figured it out for myself.
