fallout 3 and new vegas were both good games with new vegas being prolly a little better but I never actually beat either one cause I just eventually got bored exploring and choosing dialogues cause honestly the gameplay is just meh

I popped this thread off a little prem because I haven't actually started playing. Had to DL twice because I forgot to delete all the old mods so I could start afresh.

My playthrough is at Nipton (just cleared out the town hall) with no mods installed, except the one that displays all the speech options at once instead of having to scroll though them all

when I played NV (never owned FO3) my gaming PC was a laptop and to get stuff to run at an acceptable frame rate I would turn down graphical options to the bare minimum, meaning I had basically 0 draw distance and would often get shot/attacked by invisible enemies. as a result I never explored anything because I would run from quest point to quest point until I finished it. Now that I have a gaming PC I got excited about actually wandering to points of interest I could see in the distance, until I realized that there's never anything there and I hate fighting stuff, so now I'm just running from main quest to main quest again :tipshat:

Obsidian knew the fighting was bad so they gave you Ed-E and boone straight away so you didn't have to do anything of you didn't want.

I'm going to get Boone ASAP for sure. I'm using explosives/Melee to get through the opening parts but once I get him I'm going to load all my points into science/lock picking. I've never done any of the dlc and I'm looking forward to that

Release order for sure. Honest hearts is fairly self contained, but DM, OWB and LR are all kind of connected.

I'm somewhere between Nipton and Boulder City loving around ATM. I read some stuff up on mods and the DLCs because I was extremely, ridiculously bored at work. I'm gonna try that gay ENB poo poo again, because maybe I just forgot to turn off steam overlay, and I'll try to remember to the DLCs in order but I'm the type that likes to just do whatever quest is closest at the moment.



Unfortunately I bugged Boone's quest by sending the culprit out but he never shot them and then I never got the option again. It didn't count as complete when I brutally exploded their head with my gun either. Does anyone know how to fix this.

I think OWB is the only one that's really bad if you are too high a level. 20 is probably a good level for any of them though??? I forget because JE sawyer changes the level cap.

The game has text with a recommended level when you try to initiate dlc. I saw this when I accidentally almost jumped into OWB and it said Recommended Level:15.

I dunno if you been to new vegas and freeside, but they are all split up into sperate cells in vanilla. These mods open them up and remove the loading screens.

i think the recommended order that makes sense in terms of level and story progression is honest hearts, old world blues, dead money and then lonesome road

yeah. I got out of vegas and was like "ahh a vast and open world to explore what a hoot!" and then found myself walking from quest marker to quest marker, engaging in lovely combat and making dialogue choices that boiled down to do I like this person/group, yes or no? still a cool game and I prolly played it for 20-40 hours but by then I just didn't really care enough to push on to the end. the unresolved gamer.

Yeah I remember that being annoying when I first played, although since I was playing the game on a cardboard cutout with the word Samsung written on it, it probably made the game playable for me.

honest heart's overworld is surprisingly good. it's probably the most appealingly designed open area i've seen in that iteration of gamebryo.

cool. I never tried any of the DLC. Maybe one day I should give NV another go with the dlc cause I know it's a goon favorite and it's not like I hated it, just got kinda bored.

You could also try Energy Guns, High INT guy who only ever uses the two Recycler weapons, or weapons with the Recycler mod installed. Go green.

I ended up doing the Silver Rush quests until it wanted me to murder the possible companion person and I was like 'nah' and brutally executed them all. So now I've got like 800 energy cells and 400 MF cells. Consider brutally murdering them since you don't lose karma or faction rep with anyone for doing that.

yeah i think that was the gameplan once i got to freeside, stalled out just before that. murdering everyone in the silver rush is cool, i've done it every playthrough

I just started FO3 agin and it's hard to get back into. Vault 101 is an amusing start though. I can never bring myself to NOT kill the Overseer.

EDIT: Also the music is drat depressing in FO3. (the ambient wandering music, etc.)
