The only thing that really has me disappointed in this game is a frequent crashes to the desktop.

I have had a share of them and they seem similar to the ones I was having in oblivion.
Not frequent though.

I also an issue now and then when I pan in a certain area it will pause for a spilt second.
Closing out of the game and reloading solves it.

FordGT90Concept · Nov 4, 2008

Yeah, autosave is keeping me from getting pissed about it but it is still unacceptable. No software should ever crash unless it is in alpha.

Also, in Girdershade, does that guy ever come back?

MilkyWay · Nov 4, 2008

my small arms is 45 but i think ill have to run up to the ememy to do it
running up tho they usualy get a few shots in first

good tip carry stims everywhere stock when possible

das müffin mann · Nov 4, 2008

fyi the alien pistol will vaporize most of the lower enimies in 1 shot, and super brutes in 2

Nick89 · Nov 4, 2008

I found a place that has 96 Alien power cells its in a really big radioactive crater with a big dump truck laying on its side the Alien power cells are sitting next the the turned over truck. I'll have to screen shot it on my map.

Also, did anyone else find the bethesda studios? in game?!

Edit:

Also vault 112 is fu*ked UP!

I'm goin to be leaving to get my copy of Fallout 3 in about 23 minutes when my nearby game stop opens at 10:00am, right now it is exactly 9:37am.

Dude, where I live there was only 1 person that reserved it. I went up there to check out the place and there was only one guy buying the game, the whole day.

I have a feeling it could be related to our CPUs and the game engine.

I don't think I have been to Girdershade yet.
Found Father but I decided to meet up to carry on the main mission later.
I think America can wait a few more days before G.E.C.K gets underway.
Right now doing the Superhuman Gambit mission.

Ok i'm really pissed. My save games files won't load. It just crashes with the Not responding error.

Any solutions? Besides starting a new game...

EDIT Fixed it, just needed to tweak some settings in the .ini.

What?
Your save files stopped working?
Did this happen for no reason?

If so thats pretty rubbish.:shadedshu

Hope I don't get this problem. :ohwell:

farlex85 · Nov 4, 2008

That happened to me w/ Oblivion. Usually a re-install fixed the issue.

Has anyone else run into word puzzles that have no solution? I'm at this one in the museum of tech (the planetarium) and over and over I keep finding that something's wrong, there is no possible right answer given what they've said the correct letters are so far (for instance the most recent one told me the first two words I selected had 0/6 correct letters, yet every other word on there had at least one of those letters). Pretty perplexing, especially since the game seems to make this list at random, I don't know how it's code could make it uncrackable, but that seems to be the case......

Not as of yet but I do find the hacking puzzle a bit too hard no matter what level you are at.

Shit, I got the last copy from my gamestop. Called and had them hold it for me.

112? Try 106 that's f***ed up

Anyone having issues with constant crashes try this

Find your ffdshow options (assuming it's installed) and add fallout3.exe as an exclusion. It cut my CTD's considerably. I still get the odd one, but not the 4 or 5 an hour I used to get.

Sometimes it's nice just to sit down and talk things through...

Or just party 'till you drop...

Only by following the quest.

Ongaku · Nov 5, 2008

I am loving the brutality in this game so much :laugh:

I popped my first head off a few days ago... :eek:

the bf is playing it on his right now....it runs great on my rig, but it runs so awesome on his hehe...he's almost done with the main quest already...

wish the game wasn't so short

I'd tell him not to finish the main quest so fast, cause once you do thats it no more fun for that character.

I told him once you beat it, you beat it...and well he beat it... :laugh:

I won't spoil what he did...but I'm going to do a different ending with my character...damn good game though, great voice acting, kinda was like watching a badass movie

das müffin mann · Nov 5, 2008

i did enjoy the final assult though, that was pretty badass

although they should releases a patch so you can keep playing, i finally got the ability to use that damn armor but it was short lived

definitely the best game I've played this year hands down

now to do it again, but with a little bit more "civilian casualties"

Mussels · Nov 5, 2008

"COMMUNISM EQUALS FAILURE"

Pissed myself laughing at that. I'm on my second run through now, i intend to fill out all the side quests after i get the power armour, just so i can mess around as the god of the wastelands

Nick89 · Nov 5, 2008

My only probs with the game.

1. No traits like there we're in the other Fallouts.
2. Perception has nothing to do with accuracy small guns(energy weps, Big guns) does.
3. Tagged skills dont increase by two when you put in one point
4. Laser rifle doesnt do laser damage and seems weak.
5. No discriptions for items in your inventory.
6. Can't put skills past 100.
7. Requiring a Science/Lockpick skill of 50, 75, 100 to pick locks/Hack computers.

I think it was dumbed down for consol f@gs, I MEAN players.
