I loved getting the Monty Python bridge encounter. The bridge keepers robes were as strong as combat armor and looked badass.

Scott Forstall posted:Yesterday I discovered how to activate the F3 dlc on steam. Bought the game years ago, thought it was locked behind GFW poo poo when I went to the download menu in the main menu and it just always failed to connect to the GFW store. Shrugged it off because I got F3 for a few bucks and whatever. Never clicked on Data Files until yesterday. Just a heads up, FO3 doesn't work on newer OS of Windows. Like 7 and up. The easiest way to play it is to use the Tale of Two Wastelands mod with New Vegas. I love the lazer musket because it reminds me of those silly emergency batteries. I just hope they let you over and undercharge it. I doubt they will, but that would be such a fun mechanic to mess with while you're waiting for plasma. I also hope energy cells are useful. Playing TTW, and it's frustrating that every good energy weapon uses microfusion cells. Not including alien weapons of course.

FO3 worked on Windows 8.1 for me but yeah you should just play TTW instead (watch out for super mutants balance in DC though)

When you can take a pistol and change it into a rifle with a few mods, it usually won't make sense to change the ammo type.

It's been working for me on win7 fine by shutting off auto save and editing a line in the ini file (guide in the steam forums). Also it sometimes puts save files in the wrong folder but that's easily fixed. I'm 10 hours deep now.

Lol PC gaming. You know, if my fourth 360 hadn't died from being appallingly poorly constructed, I'm pretty sure it would be able to run Fallout 3 just by putting the disc in. Can't wait until the game is released and this thread becomes 90% tech support questions from windows users.

One of my favorite moments in Fallout 3 on my (first) 360 was when a power station's geometry exploded and bits of it were rendered in long stretches across the wasteland, one side visible and the other not.

Mod Organizer. It's on the Skyrim nexus for download. It can connect to your nexus account and download mods the same way. Except it won't break your games or force you to reinstall them like NMM. Fallout Model Manager is also good. Really you should go to the New Vegas mod thread and install a couple essentials like Jsawyer and the implants mod. If you want a challenge at least. Also of note is that there's a link in the second post to a giant TTW mod combo with directions. It's useful if only to navigate the TTW site.

Can't wait until the game is released and this thread becomes 90% tech support questions from windows users. That is indeed true and I'm actually on that side of the equation most of the time (I have Fallout 4 coming for PS4 for that very reason, and maybe I'll rue that choice at some point but I doubt it). However, the issue I'm speaking of is not Fallout 3 not running on my PC, it does that just fine. The problem is that 3 is exactly bad enough in comparison to New Vegas in enough ways that it is ultimately unplayable. And no, that's not meant to be a profound statement nor am I trying to stir up poo poo right now. I loved Fallout 3 when it came out, played it an insane amount, loved New Vegas when it came out, played it an insane amount, then tried to go back to 3 for funsies not long ago and went "aww, now this feels uncomfortable and awful." Hence the jumping on a total conversion that lets you play Fallout 3 with all the tweaks and better item lists of NV.

FOMM and jsawyer are a must. JSawyer simply because it makes the game way more coherent and balanced with a poo poo ton more items/events/etc that the game's lead designer wanted to put in but didn't have time.

Can't wait until the game is released and this thread becomes 90% tech support questions from windows users. He's being walked through modding the game in a very complicated fashion (relative to just having steam install a game and pressing button). In fact something like TTW won't even be possible in FO4 on console with its console modding support since it relies on being able to access a side by side FO3 install.

I was one of those unfortunate people who downloaded The Pitt for Fallout 3 on the day it was released for 360, there was giant exclamation marks where ingame items would be, the bridge leading to the Pitt itself was a death zone as it wasn't properly rendered so you'd die to radiation the moment you touched specific parts of it, raiders were flying into the sky, and the moment you tried to enter the Pitt proper at the end of the bridge, the game would lockup. Bethesda had accidentally released an unfinished version of the DLC and it was quickly removed and replaced, but not after us early people got to play this hilarious mess.
