ScotchMonkey: Point Lookout was a winner. I didn't find it hard though, most of the game was somewhat easy to be honest. Unlike the original.

How did you decorate your apartment? Mine was Pre-War

I think I know how you handled the Cherry Escort Quest.

You probably dressed up as The Humongous from Mad Max

I had a thing for sneaking around planting land mines in peoples inventory. But when I found slavery, well I found my true calling!

I keep wishing GOG could get Fallout 3. But since GOG lost Fallout 1 and 2, I don't think it's very likely. :-/

Sorry to bump this, but: a few month ago I tried to install Fallout 3 Goty via Steam on a Computer with Windows 8.1. My first install was on a Windows 7 machine a few years ago, so I did remember to tweak "fallout.ini" and setting compatibility modes on exe and launcher etc. but I failed to run it on a Windows 8.1 machine.
Yesterday howeverI finally I did manage to get it running: the problem waas, that I had to install "Games for Windows Live" additionally. So you basically install a steam game but to get it running you have to install seperate stuff after steam Installation... come on guyz, WTF?!

@gog/ bethesda: please save us from this drm hell and give us a nice clean Fallout 3 GOTY install, pleaseeeeeee have mercy

I second this....I have played both on my Xbox 360, but would love to have copies to install and play again on my Win10 pc

I thought all that was needed for Fallout 3 to be playable on modern OS was a mod that is linked in the Steam forum for it?

Could be, I wouldn't know, 'cause I don't Steam. Just gonna have to sit here with my fingers crossed and hope it comes here some day. Won't hold my breath though, I'm not that stupid ;)

I have no idea about that mod, but for me installing Fallout 3 goty via Steam, setting compatibility modes, installing "Games for Windows live" and then tweaking the fallout.ini did the job. After these steps I could start it without problems.
The problem I had before (without installing "Games for Windows live") was that there was no fallout.ini being generated and when I started Fallout 3 via Steam it just crashed.

Many people need the intel integrated chip fix, even if they don't have an integrated chip. I have an Intel processor, but no integrated chip, and the game would crash on load until I installed this fix on Win 10. Spent the better part of today (due to this thread actually) getting it to work.

F3 plays fine on my Win 7 system. I have the the GFWL disc version and use the old desktop shortcut trick. Bypasses the securom disc check, no exe hacks necessary. Here's a good link to tweaking F3 to get it to run on modern computers.

The game runs fine with Windows 10, but I DID also use the unofficial patch to eliminate sudden crashes.
