I have not destroyed Megaton, I shot Mister Burke in the head. I disarmed the bomb as well. I am on my way to Tenpenny tower to see what is going on in there.

Also, I have had two hit squads out to kill me so far, have you guys encountered any yet?

No, I have friends in high places. No hit men after me

I was holding off installing this...but I've changed my mind!

Since Koroush hasn't released a performance guide for it yet, does or can anyone make a claim in regards to XP vs Vista?

No, but it will run like silk on your rig on Vista, I guarantee that.

Okie, Vista it is!

Lord I'm never gonna finish the other games; it's gonna be Crysis (a year later) all over again.

Oh, and another thing (this applies to everyone out there). I was having issues with crashes during cut-scenes, but after adding an exclusion to my ffshow filters for fallout3.exe all the crashes stopped. So if there is anyone having this problem, try out what I did

Hmm, I haven't noticed any DURING cutscenes, but that is a good find, as there's probably a lot of us with FFshow that wouldn't think twice about that.

I couldn't get past the first cutscene at first, but when I googled around I found this, tried it out and bam, I was playing fine. Still crash out sometimes though, but I was playing for 4, maybe 5 hrs straight without a crash

That sucks man...I've dealt with that before, usually solved with a no-cd "patch", re-install..hell run the game using autoplay on the dvd...though if you go the no-dvd/cd patch, that means online is prolly nixed...dunno what online is even about in Fallout 3, but I can say on my G/F's rig (see sys specs) it runs amazing at 1440x900, everything maxed, AA at 4X, looks amazing. I'm letting her play it while I work my way thru FC2 SP and MP. Since CoD5 looks to be a major let down as-far-as something fresh, FC2 and F3 will be just fine!

Quick question: How creepy/horror (e.g. mutants sneaking up on you and making nasty sounds) is this game compared to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?

less. but an 8 foot tall big green man with a minigun popping his head around a corner has its own appeal.

So far this is a good game IMO.
But I need help with the lock picking.
I don't know how to do it.
All I can do is move the mouse around and the bobby pin moves but nothing else happens.

BTW if anyone wants to change the appearance of their characters face just type showracemenu into the console command, just like in Oblivion.
If you want to take screenshots just type tfc into the console command as well.

If lock picking is anything like Oblivion, it's a pain in the ass. You got to jiggle it and when it is in the up position, you have to click the attack button to lock the pin in place and advance to the next until you get them all. It would be pretty easy, except the rate the pins move is random for each jiggle.

use the WASD keys. i dont quite get it either, but you're really just moving the bobby pin into the right angle, and then turning the lock.

ER finally got it to work, I hate securom I feel like sending them a nasty letter.

The lock picking is really easy its nothing like oblivion, you use the mouse to move the bobby pin and the WASD keys to move the screw driver.
