Quite

rofl, i love the hacks i found for this game

 

[ShadowFold]

GECK is out.. Sadly its exactly like Oblivion's... I was hoping they would make one that was remotely easy to use.

I'm level 20 and have well over 1000 beasts killed but can someone tell me how to turn the damn pip-boy light on? Its no where in the control menu. I feel like a psychopath walking around in the dark with a zombie mask on and a combat shotgun.

If you're playing the PC version, press the pipboy button (tab?) and hold it for awhile.
I'm still level 4 ~_~

He's a tip for all the noobs playing.

Never spend points in any perk that gives you bonus skill points to specific skills...Like Big guns, Small Arms/Repair.

Never spend points on anything that gives xp.

Spend points on Intense Trainging to max out attributes and gain skill points.

Always have a 10 Intelligence to get max points per level.

Always get the perk that gives 3 -5 extra skill points to spend as you wish. This way you are getting 25 skill points (with a 10 int) a level.

This game levels so fast there is no need for bonus xp, especially when 20 is the cap and 100 is max for skills.

Always have repair and try to get to 100 asap. Same with lockpick. Stealth is another must have...Stealth Criticals are so powerful.

A 60 in computers and medic is nice to have.

DR perks are good, like toughness and cyborg.

Always take perks that increase % to hit in VATS. Always take perks that increase anything in VATS, like Action Boy.

It's an information bar. What's the problem?

A humorous one at that. I love the faces. It's pretty easy to ignore though, that would be a pretty hilarious reason not to get a game......

 

[Jess Stingray]

Grr. Keeps crashing for me. Just finished the Galaxy News Radio Quest, fast travel to Megaton, then Vault 101 (I hear there's a quest there I need to do). Walk a few steps, crash. Latest patch...

that would be a pretty hilarious reason not to get a game......

i know what you mean man, it keeps crashing for me too...yet i just keep trying.

I found a workaround - shut down my computer for 2 hours, then reboot. That gets old real fast. Guess I'm overheating or something, but it makes no sense, Fallout isn't a particularly demanding game,less so than Crysis anyway, and that doesn't crash... Confusion.

 

[CDdude55]

Bring down your OC and see if it crashes.

 

[LittleLizard]

which is the best power armor ? i think is the tx51-b or something like that (dont recall the name, lazy to look for it)

 

[Jess Stingray]

Tried backing down from 3 to 2.4, does the same. So yeah, I'm ruling the OC out.

 

[farlex85]

Yeah, T51b I think. You get it at the end of "you gotta shoot em in the head" quest. Un-repairable, but 60 DR total.

 

[Mussels]

T51B, or the medic armour.

T51B *is* repairable, with regular power armour or paying people to do it. The medic armour can only be repaired by others, but it has an AI in the suit so it alerts you to enemies and auto uses stimpaks to heal broken limbs

 

[psyko12]

For those who are crashing, are you using the vanilla fallout 3? 1.0.0.12? Coz the "patch" they released was for ppl only using pre-ordered ones and the survival kit edition. Anyway the vanilla one for me can let me game for hours and no crash. Btw I think steam and d2d versions are already 1.0.0.15, where more ppl say that the 1.0.0.15 crash alot and opened more bugs.

Ah I thought I couldn't repair it b/c there was none like it. Where do you get the medic armor?

 

[newconroer]

I prefer the Riley's Ranger armor. It has multiple bonuses, including of which to small guns, and weighs less(think it looks better too).

The agility loss on the power armor series isn't worth the +2 in strength.


If you're going for the most exotic looking gear, then the Enclave/Tesla stuff would be your best bet.

+1 for Ranger armor, I IMHO prefer it more than PA.

BTW, any1 here installed the v1.0.0.15 thing patch? I dunno but I'm getting the "old file not found bug" and as I mentioned above I don't know if what I read about that patch is true that it's only for the Special editions and pre-ordered batches.

Any1 here running on patched and non-patched FO3? thnks
