I am trying to get the ghouls into tenpenny but when ever I unlock the terminal and Roy tells me to meet him out front and I go back to the door, I click on it and the game crashes. Anyone else have this problem?

I can't say I've been there yet but I have had some crashes but this could be to do with the fact I'm still using the 8.9cats.

I have had 2 CTD, 2 crash on exit and one system freeze.
After I hard reset the PC I found my system was very sluggish and fallout had some areas where it would lag when I looked in the specific direction, after a while it CTD.
Once this happened and I restarted the game everything was fine, no lag in the areas where there was lag.

It just crashes when I exit the door. Kinda disappointed.. I wanted to see those snobby tards get killed

AphexDreamer · Nov 1, 2008

Just beat the game... Sad to say that once you beat it, you can't continue to play. So do much as you can before finishing the main quest cause after that, thats it.

newconroer · Nov 1, 2008

It's a shame about the SDK issue... though I hear some mods are already in the works and/or completed.

I'm just hoping someone can pull out an LOD and texture pack.

Widjaja · Nov 2, 2008

From looking at the files in Fallout 3, they are the same format as Oblivion, so making a Fallout 3 Construction set should not take long at all.

johnspack · Nov 2, 2008

Thank gawd for fast travel, found it by accident, then I got to another part of the game and it finally told me about it... also using the 180.43 drivers I sometimes get a weird slowing down to a slideshow thing after I've been playing for awhile, and I have get it to exit, and restart and it works perfect again. Weird because I don't go below 60fps, should I be using an older driver for this?

I did it that way and no issue at all. In fact i have had no issue's at all.

Don't. Quests in Megaton, and good Karma.

johnspack · Nov 2, 2008

I"ve left megaton up, but haven't disarmed the bomb yet, leaving my options open.....
I think if you earn enough explosive skills, you don't need the special detonator.... just a guess

ShadowFold · Nov 2, 2008

Once you get the quest to go to GNR then you can blow it up if you really want to. I recommend helping the ghouls take over tenpenny tho, alot of fun

Mussels · Nov 2, 2008

my bet, would be to finish all the side quests, THEN blow it up!

johnspack · Nov 2, 2008

Yep, side quests first, as much caps and gun and ammo as I can earn, then perhaps kaboooom! Sure would like to see that bomb go off!

Irish_PXzyan · Nov 2, 2008

This game is amazing!! It beats farcry 2 Hands down!
One of the best games ive ever played so far!

Mussels · Nov 2, 2008

it makes me wish oblivion had this combat engine... would have been such a better game.

Irish_PXzyan · Nov 2, 2008

I love using the Ripper! Great melee weapons

MopeyMartian · Nov 2, 2008

Has anyone found the town where the AntAgonizer and the robot guy are fighting yet? That cracked my sh_t up.

If you blow up Megaton does Tenpenny become your home-base?

I've barely played though and I'm already wondering how I'll play it the next time. Kinda thinking I'll be an evil ninja assassin and get the Mr. Sandman perk.

ShadowFold · Nov 2, 2008

If you blow up megaton, you get a suite in Tenpenny Tower. There is a short quest from there but thats it.. Megaton has a ton of cool quests tho.

I used to use this if some one starts running away after they realize attacking me wasn't such a good idea.

But I've left that in my brief case of crap as I built myself a shishkebab.

johnspack · Nov 2, 2008

I still haven't fired back up my farcry2, must finish fallout now! I missed the first 2 fallouts, darn....

Try them out, but erase everything from Fallout 3 from your head first. They're not really related.

thus the joy of the fallout universe.... each vault has its own unique history and mutants to play with!

Anyone know of away to conuter this???

I skimmed through the game, took less than a day to finish. I didn't even visit most places though.
Perhaps I'll play again when I'm completely bored, see how many people I can kill. Go on the evil road.
