Fallout 3 Thread

S-Video is 480i generally. Doesn't get too much higher than that (5##i). Monitors are always the way to go.

The game runs surprisingly well on my computer. Only a few times has it got laggy (dipped around 20 fps I suppose). I have no idea what my settings are though.


Is it just me or does this game not make any Start menu shortcuts? I had to make my own.

 

[Widjaja]

Fallout 3 doesn't make a desktop shortcut.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Bah! They got to quit saying "Start Menu" shortcut and properly label it as program shortcuts. Start Menu usually literally means "Start Menu" as in up there at the top of the pre-Vista layout. Now they're just confusing me.

S-video will be a little better than composite, but honestly both will look like ass. i've never had good luck with the older TV's.

Spoilerish...Man.. they really need to make a way to get back into Raven Rock. Another thing I just noticed was north of Little Lamplight there is an area that is highly radioactive and there are a lot of super mutants there. Vault 87 is in there. Isn't that where I got the GECK and made my super mutant friend? Did things change after I went there? I can't get back in there due to the radiation now...

 

[Mussels]

Spoilerish...spoilers

you cant get back in once you leave. you can never get in the front door.


Old school TV's will be 480i or 576i, but due to being interlaced CRT's they tend to blur writing pretty badly. I'm not sure how good fallout will look.

 

[erocker]

That really sucks. It's one of the coolest places in the game. Oh thee well... I just wanted to blow the place up really...

 

[TUngsten]

so far i haven't even touched the main quest and I'm lvl6 with the scoped magnum, sniper rifle, souped up chinese AR, combat armor...I lay waste to everything with one shot

I never even really bother selling for the most part, grab what I need and leave the rest. The only thing I've found a real need for caps is repairing things I can't find the parts for to repair them myself. Other than that everything else costs money when my normal play style (exploring) tends to net it for free.

I think I'm nearing the end, the dungeons have become pretty repetitive at this point. Still an excellent game though, I think I'll take a break for a bit and see if I can get the excitement back before finishing. I seem to be one of the few people that likes to play the good guy too, I've reached Saint status, I'm not sure how much better I could get.

The status of my person is "Paladin." He is pretty good karma.

yea i noticed that i thought it was just the fact i was connected through compostie oh well i wonder what ill be getting for christmas

 

[spud107]

i can't believe how much play time i'v notched up . . . omg,

 

[ShadowFold]

Is Last, Best hope of humanity the highest karma you can get? My lvl 16 good karma person is only Paladin. I am gonna start a bad character today tho

 

[spud107]

i think so, might go for a killing spree to see how far down it goes
got around 30 odd nukes to play with,

The text it shows depends on only two things: Good/Bad/Evil and skill level. If you are Good at 20, it says one thing. If you are Good at 19, it says something else. This site lists them all and the conditions to achieve them.

I have done the tracks leading to Last, Best Hope of Humanity and Scourge of Humanity.

I play all my games on a Sylvania 17" CRT with 1024x768@85 Hz and I'm loving it.

under 72Hz on CRT's causes flickering, which leads to eyestrain and headaches. irrelevant on LCD.

Anyone heard of Bethsda releasing actually releasing a modding tool and some plugins?

They are releasing the "GECK" which is a modding tool. Pretty cool... looking forward to it.

 

[LittleLizard]

yes there are going to release an editor called GECK (you know what i mean ) and donwloadable (or whatever is writed) for the consoles

 

[Widjaja]

Awesome, Should be able to transfer Oblivion meshes and Oblivion Custom meshes to Fallout 3 then with a little tweaking.

 

[ShadowFold]

Does anyone know if I can add my recorded voices and make NPC's with GECK? I never modded oblivion so I wouldn't know.

Do know about recoreded voices but if the GECK has the same amount of allowable customization as Oblivion Construction set then yes you will be able to add NPCs.
