Thanks. I'll try that. Do I need to install sfall to run it windowed? I prefer to run full screen but if this is the only way it will work... Edit: Update - sfall didn't recognize Fallout 1 (said error looking for Fallout 2), so I'm currently trying D3D Windower. And DXWnd Edit: Update 2...

I have a Windows tablet (Win 7) and I suffer the same problem. It doesn't recognize touch as mouse input effectively. I have the Fallout 1 HiRes patch installed. I also own the original game disk and installed it onto an SD card. Also running v1.1. The real frustrating thing is I bought the...

Can't do that man. I've got five kids to feed!

I am excited for more Fallout. I am saddened that Obsidian is not controlling the story and dialogue, and that it is still real-time combat (I know there is little chance that part changes). But I far prefer combat in Wasteland 2 to Fallout 3+. I only use VATS to attack to at least pretend...

Weakest link in NV is the combat engine. I miss the turn-based system of Fallout 1 and 2. The only thing that saved the combat for me is VATS. As tacked on and pseudo-turn-based as it was, it allows me to let my character build do 100 percent of the combat. If I don't have enough action...

I liked it from the comedy standpoint. And the 'flies' comment was spot on! All I could think of are the Bloat Flies from Fallout 3 and how much easier they went down.

Hello and welcome! I, too, played the original Fallouts upon release and hold Fallout 1 to be my favorite game of all time. I find Fallout: New Vegas to be what Fallout 3 should have been (given the limitations of the engine). I am about 1/3 of the way through the story, I believe, and have...

Initial Stats: Str: 3 Per: 6 End: 3 Cha: 3 Int: 10 Agl: 9 Luc: 6 I use VATS exclusively to attack. I do not attack in real-time. Therefore it is crucial for me to maximize my AP and bonuses I get from VATS. Traits: Built for Destruction and Kamikazee Tag Skills: Guns, Repair...

Yes, like that. And also the way damage should be dealt - based on weapon and ammo type as well as location hit.

Thank you Texas! That is encouraging! :clap:

What I find interesting about the FPS comment is that VATS actually saved the game for me. I'm not sure how much I would have played if my character build had NO effect on combat. Although I do realize that VATS was just a pause mode tacked on to appease the hardcore RPG crowd, it worked for...

Has it been established if different ammo types do different damage? I know you can craft ammunition but I'm not sure what effect that has in the game.

Got my collector's edition on preorder with Gamestop for the PS3. I never experienced any real gamestopping issues with Fallout 3 on my PS3.

As an old-time PC gamer that loved FO1 and currently games on the PS3, I love the combat idea! :clap: Have any of you tried FO3 combat exclusively in VATS? No RT shots? I think it adds a bit to the challenge.

I think they bought the Starcraft license and are going to make Starcraft 3 an FPS/Strategy game hybrid. Not like the cancelled 'Ghost' game, more like a bastardized version of the classic original. Only you'll need to manage your units from a first person perspective. Should be fun because...

Well, here are the Bethesda fan's opinions on the very same topic... http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1028522 Although if you really didn't like Fallout 1 & 2, should you answer a question like the one posed on Beth's forum? :shock:

Thank you NMA for posting this topic. I just read up on the author (Stephen North) and not only am I intrigued by his stories, I am delighted to be living right in the middle of his stories' settings. I went to high school in Pinellas Park, my family lives in St. Petersburg and I currently...

You know how it is - most reviews are just part of the hype machine at game release. Once a few months have passed and the 'eager' buyers have already purchased the game, reviewers get a little more honest to try and save face and show they can be critical. By then the damage is already done...

I agree. I did the exact same thing and the artwork is quite well done. But a $30 price tag and the book is 'somewhat different'? That is garbage. I think they should also provide a nice discount for fans that are interested and can show proof of purchase of the game.

If you mean 'overly done' in the sense of books and movies, then I understand. But the only good RPG I've played with a focus on Vampires is Vampire: Bloodlines, and the only good one focused on Zombies is Planescape: Torment (and it is a stretch to say 'zombies'). I would also say System...
