    Trying to play F3 in a fluffy (canon) way

    To the OP: I've seen a lot of cell phone games with shitty graphics and simplistic GUI. I don't understand how people can sit around and play RPGs on tiny-ass screens on their phone but are disgusted with the thought of playing games of comparable design on the computer. If you screw around...

    Impressions thread for negative impressions

    With my low low low hitpoints, I am actually starting to pay for my stats. I'm around level 7, now, and I find that I'm frequently reloading due to deaths. Raiders at a distance weilding hunting rifles are taking away almost 2/3 of my health a shot. Meleeing ranged opponents is still...

    Impressions thread for negative impressions

    I always thought that having a very loose reticle would've been a good way to do it. I.e. your view doesn't change, but the point of impact floats around in space. The higher your skill, the tighter the grouping area of your reticle. I'm not sure if player skill could overcome this system...

    Your character does NOT "resemble [his/her] father&quot

    So, since I read in some of the front-page reviews before the game was released that your father "resembles" you, I've played around and restarted the game a few times. For giggles, I was going to try to get "Dad" to look like Liam Neesan. Unfortunately, "Dad's" 95% the same in every game...

    Fallout 3: A Reflection on the Writing

    I was pondering this topic just the other day. I was intensely disappointed with Fallout 3, even though I went in thinking it was going to be utter shit. I thought to myself, "I wish that video game companies didn't suck anymore and that they could make successful, intelligent RPGs again."...

    Impressions thread for negative impressions

    Out of curiosity, I tried this concept, myself. I think I'm around level 4 or so. I believe my stats are: 1 Str, 9 Pe, 1 End, 10 Ch, 8? Int, 5 Agi, 5 Luck. The perks I've chosen have been the three tiers of the perk that gives a boost to xp earned. Tag skills were Barter, Speech, and...

    [MOD] Item descriptions

    Excellent mod. The only problem I'm experiencing (other than unclear install directions) is that the low-rez friendly version is still having display issues on armors. Is there an ETA for a new release, perchance? Thanks again for the great workaround. Descriptions make the game feel more...

    Remove Power Armor perk requirement

    I'm sorry if this is included in any PA mods; I tried to find info on the search feature but, if I haven't seen the thread or know its topic, I can't effectively search for it. Anywho, given the somewhat shit nature of PA in the game, I'd like to see the ability to wear it when it becomes...

    Impressions thread for negative impressions

    Here are some of my complaints with the game: VATS: Some people say it gives them an unfair advantage; this isn't the case, normally, for me. Although it's nice to shoot and not take damage, I seem to hit a lot harder when I'm in control of my character. Despite the fact that he has a 90 in...

    The Czechs scoop the world: new Fallout 3 screenshots

    Are dogs not hairy? Are Brahmin not hairy? Is there not hair on top of the Vault Dweller and nearly all NPC's heads? Could there be another reason that it was decided that the Deathclaws should be more lizard-like, unique, and bad-ass?

    The Czechs scoop the world: new Fallout 3 screenshots

    Fallout 2's Deathclaws in Vault 13 describe a bit of their evolution and how they came to be. I believe you're correct that Fallout 1 didn't mention what they were, though. You really should read the wikia about them. It's said that they're actually genetically engineered, but are...

    The Czechs scoop the world: new Fallout 3 screenshots

    I disagree; D.C. is a grey town because it uses a whitish grey concrete for the majority of its buildings. As such, the wasteland that would occur from a post-nuclear holocaust in this region would be grey as well. I think it might be interspersed with deformed forest vegetation, but I can't...

    The Czechs scoop the world: new Fallout 3 screenshots

    I'm very confused by this statement. The NMA community is comprised of Fallout 3 fans?

    Kick vs. punch

    Thanks. Also: does kick have a chance for knockback like the sledgehammer? I'd swear that I'd occasionally boot someone across the screen.

    Weird hubologist forcefield bug.

    After a hiatus from playing Fallout, I forgot how to deactivate forcefields as well. If you look at the emitter, there's a little thing that looks like a cone. That's what you need to use repair on and I've never been able to call it up with the click/hold method. Try pressing 8 and...

    Kick vs. punch

    I was looking at the inventory screen, and kick is listed as the same damage as punch, yet costs more AP. I haven't finished a game as a slayer, so I don't know if there's a real damage difference, but at level 3, I don't see a difference. Why, then, use kick at all?

    FO2: Ironman Build

    Just tried an unarmed Ironman char. I made it to Klamath, barely, and then got pasted because I ran out of healing stuff. Without armor, it's really hard to focus on melee early. For those of you that Ironman: do you solo or party? For me, the melee build was something like... Str: 5...

    Killap's Fallout 2 unofficial patch - final version

    On the same questline, if you get the key from the dog in the main part of town, the man in trapper town doesn't even mention the quest.
