Fallout 3 was sweet

Much better than oblivion (bethesda's previous game)

I honestly would call it a worthy sequel and New vegas is even better

Hehe with most people its the other way around, you really ARE Lawful Good, you're never going to get the tenpenny tower apartment

Justice - now with 100% more homicidal softspoken hamsters.

Also, I am so glad I took gunslinger. Doing a headshot on an ant-thing at three hundred feet from on top of a building with a basic pistol is just...epic. Especially with that slow-motion thing where you watch your bullet go in.

Oh...and whereas Oblivion's exploration seemed to be all about yawning uncontrollably as you tried to remember which of a dozen identical caves you had visited, Fallout 3 seems to be all about wandering into an abandoned building, then sweating uncontrollably as you try to sneak back out of a reaver hideout.

Wait till you get to level 20 & can pick Grim Reapers Spirit, full action point recharge on killing someone in VATS, fights become a 3 minute cavalcade of slowmo death, in my case it ended in the enemy being reduced to goo from my plasma weapons



Don't get TOO excited by the seeming variety, fallout 3 does tend to repeat areas a bit too. Nothing like as bad as oblivion though

I went through and installed uh...whatever the MMM for Fallout3 is. Martingen did a superb enemy variety/difficulty/AI mod for Oblivion that I always use, and he did an even better job on Fallout's. That took care of the rather dull enemy variety and AI. I also found a DC Interiors mod that added insides to all those stupid abandoned buildings (my initial excitement at having dozens of abandoned villages and neighborhoods to explore was crushed by the rapid discovery that they were nothing more than elaborate setpieces). Finally, I installed an 'Apocalypse Armory' mod. I was dubious at first, but the weapons were well chosen and don't really break immersion. Now every enemy I face isn't drawing from the same 3-weapon pool I have access to.

So...now my Fallout3 has all the variety and excitement I could possibly wish for, since it came with all five DLC's. Can anyone recommend any good content expansion mods? Or are there any? I know it took Oblivion a good five years or so before they started popping up. You know what I mean, new quests, vaults, dungeons, or even towns. That sort of thing. Unofficial expansions.

Took me a while to get comfortable with the game and hungry for more before I took your advice. Just finished installing FWE - looks like it perfects the 'desperate to survive' feeling that goes missing after your character starts building up ammo and chem supplies.

On a side note, Dogmeat was darn hard to find and absolutely worth it. He's gotta be the cutest, most awesome companion ever. He rips people's throats out and fetches me ammo :3

EDIT: Okay, I'm level three and trying to play with FWE installed. I'm sorry, but this is total horse hockey. I've also got MMM installed, but the difficulty is ridiculous. It isn't even challenging, it's cheap death after cheap death. Apparently raiders have perfect accuracy with small arms. FWE modifies small arms to be able to kill in a couple of direct hits. If I don't get in a sneak attack shot to the head, ONE raider kills me in less than a second. If they have a machine pistol and hear me, I'm dead. Against more than one raider I'm dead if I don't use VATS. I have no idea what's wrong here, but I didn't think I was THIS bad at FPS's. Does anyone have ANY tips?

Oh, and bump.

Here are a few more mods that you can try. Don't forget to get the weather mod man.

Don't play FWE like an FPS it's not. Dump everything into stealth and sneak everywhere. Those one hit kills work against them as well. I did say FWE is not for the faint of heart. If you just want more Fallout then use FOOK2. If you want to play a game like Wasteland then thats FWE.

I just discovered that I'm an idiot anyway. If I don't want battles to be over quite so quickly, there's an option right there in the dang FWE menu that allows you to adjust the global damage modifier all the way back down to Vanilla if I so choose. *facepalm*

And noooo, I'm not removing FWE. It makes the final transition from 'hey this is a neat ShooteRPG' to 'Best RPG ever'. I mean, what the heck - my character just got addicted to cigarettes. That's a beautiful piece of roleplaying right there, and immediately made me wary of the booze and the meds I was popping like candy. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is when roleplaying dangerously blurs the line between reality and fiction.

Just don't start eating people....

Eating people is gross. I just tear raw meat from the carcasses of beasts I kill and consume it raw to feed my ravenous hunger. Then I drink irradiated water to quench my thirst, and if I get too irradiated I pull a Wolverine and regenerate my limbs. I am the descendant of Chuck Norris, obviously.
