Fallout 3 Mega-Thread

[QUOTE="Jinroh_basic"]

to me, the most important question to ask is this --

if i like Fallout and Fallout 2, and dislike all Bethesda titles thus far, would i like Fallout 3?

i welcome any series veteran to answer this question.

smerlus

there are alot of things i like about the previous Fallout games. i think the most important thing, and one that is still relevant in modern context, is the dialogue. the masterfully written npc dialogue that is rich in personality and bears real, lasting and exciting consequences. the same can be said about Vampire TMB, which is created by the Fallout team.

there are also alot of things i don't like about Bethesda game. very weak writing in both story line and dialogue, severe lack of structure, zero personality, lackluster role-playing -- all of which matter alot to me.

other things i know about Fallout 3 and don't quite like include -- odd character animations, strange npc behaviour, and tedious combat.

how can you know if never tried them? bethesada made 100% HARDCORE rpgs till morrowindthenewau25

[QUOTE="prakaa"]

Yeah, depending on your PC though...

There seems to be some problems with launching it from the CD/DVD, unlike Steam

Zenkuso

Thats not really the game fault, thats secureroms fault. Bethesda kindly said they wouldn't use it for the game and instead decided to put the most dangerous version of it with fallout 3. So a lot of people aren't happy right now.

Well I Don't know if this is enough to convince you but I know everyone in Megaton by name and face. They are all varied looking characters with different personalities. Moira that owns the general store talks with an upbeet wisconsin accent and sends you out to do some crazy things. Everytime you try to tell he it's not a good idea she tells you why she thinks it is and pretty much ignores your complaints. I could probably go on and on and tell you about all of them but I really think you should see for yourself.

Fallout games pretty much had a lack of structure too. You were given a main quest and then put on a time limit so you don't wander off too far.

RPGing wise, this game is much closer to Fallout than Morrowind or Oblivion. The majority of quests have numerous ways to get past them. For instance that woman I was talking about wanted me to go and test something for her. She gave me a main mission, an optional mission if I wanted to test it more and so i went out and decided I really didn't want to do it. So I came back and was surprised to see there was an option to use my speech skill to lie to her and say it went well.

So far I've seen most quests have at least 2 and sometimes up to 4-5 ways it can turn out and then doing those things have their consequences.

Honestly it's like Bethesda fired their whole writing staff and started fresh. I'm simply amazed at how the people that made Oblivion came up with this stuff.

1. Oh... another cluttered sticky, are we going to be making one for every game that comes out now?

2. I will be picking this up tomorrow, and I just wanted to know what was the best way to set up a combat (straight up gunplay I'm guessing) and stealth hybrid? I also am planning to put some speech related skills if there are any. What skills should I pick?

3. Because this is a game with weaponry I'm guessing there is no magic or archery, so therefore how much variety can there be between characters? Only pure combat, pure stealth, or hybrid?

There seems to be a lot of speech choices. My picks were small weapons, sneak and lockpicking...I often up science, speech and repair also (you have no idea how useful repair is)

My character is mostly stealthy so a lot of times I try to sneak in and out and kill quietly. I keep a sledge for close melee, a silenced 10mm hand gun and a Sniper Rifle for long range. When things pop off I keep a scoped magnum and a combat shotgun also.

IMPORTANT QUESTION!

How's the dialogue for this game?

Is it like Fallout or Vampire Bloodlines, I mean really good and that it changes your experience (it gives you varied options and depending on your intelligence, or is practically bull**** like Oblivion, Morrowind?

...i thought Megaton is just one of the towns? so there's no telling if F3 has managed to maintain that level of quality throughout, right?

To anyone who's actually got the game, I wanted to know whether Fallout 3's enemies also level up with you as you progress, as this is the only thing that I don't like about Oblivion.

Thanks in advance.

shalashaska88

Oh what's the use of a sticky when no one responds to you. Everyone's just arguing here and there and I'm here quoting myself.

Help needed here.

...i thought Megaton is just one of the towns? so there's no telling if F3 has managed to maintain that level of quality throughout, right?

Jinroh_basic

Yes and so far I'm about 4 hours in and it's turned into my main hub. Sort of like how Balmora was in Morrowind. I'm actually taking my time venturing out and trying to find every little thing in the game and so far I haven't traveled far from Megaton.

I've run into other people outside of town, I've come across a caravan and traded with them, I've run into feral ghouls in the sewers, I have assassins after me for some reason... I've met a mysterious lady that wants me to do something for her.

I mean I really wish I could just explain all the goodness but i don't want to spoil anything. If you want, you can look at my list of games and see that i've played through BG 2, Plansescape, Fallout 1 &2 , Arx Fatalis, NWN 1 & 2, The Witcher, Morrowind, Oblivion, Freedom Force and Vampires among the more popular RPG titles

So far i'd say this game is a perfect mix of Morrowind and Fallout. It improves on Fallout's combat, AI, world and graphics and it improves on Morrowind's RPG aspects. I wouldn't say that the dialogue is Vampire's quality but it's better than Morrowind or Oblivion's by far. I think it's safe to say that the characters are around Fallout 1's range. Not as humorous or quirky as Fallout 2's even though I have seen a couple of crazy characters that made me laugh.

I just finished the game a few minutes ago. The timer said I had about 28 hours. My save folder has 389 saves. I did every major side-quest besides one. I just had to kill them slavers. 8) I didn't bother with many of the mini-quest. They were basic go get me X item and I will pay you money for them. So basically money quest. I got 38 achievements throughout the game. I had several crashes but it was mostly smooth gaming. As said above it's basically morrowind and the first fallout combined. Which IMO is great. The main story is pretty good. I didn't do them all in a row. I explored every sector I could and found nearly everything on the map. I wouldn't be surprised if I was missing a few markers but I had over 100 when I started the last couple of story quest.

Most of the characters weren't very memorable though. There was a couple that I liked but I don't want to spoil it. Dialog was alright. Defintely an improvement over oblivion. The voice acting was nice but I started to hate when I saw people with the same voice. I know they tried to make them slightly different which each character but you can easily tell it's the same person. They really did take from the first game more. I love it. Bethesda did a pretty good job with that. A lot of familiar feelings some of you will feel later in the game. As someone who was afraid of them ruining it I feel silly now. So far this is my favorite game this year.

Somebody could respond this question? :(

Anyone else having abysmal performance when enabling ANY AA at all?

I normally run at 1600x1200 and with AA turned off i get excellent frames with every other setting on ultra high. When i enable AA i get stuttered gameplay and what seems like abysmal frame rates even when i turn everything else to low and set the resolution on something rock bottomish.

Yeah if you have high intelligence or any special skill there are unique dialog choices. There are a couple perks like lady killer and child at heart that lets you say unique things to women and children. However most of them are not very frequent, it's mostly regular dialog.

I played it for an hour last night. It gives a fantastic first impression. I just made it out of the vault and I could just breathe the "fresh" air. I can't wait to get on in it some more later.

I'm liking the leveling and stat system so far. I hope this game holds my interest in a way that Oblivion failed to do for me.

Okay. I have played through the game and from my experience no. The enemies don't seem to level, BUT....in Greyditch (for example) the enemies a more likely to be more powerful versions. Example, you encounter more soldier ants than you would worker ants if you are a higher level when you go on that particular quest.

Although I have better tech when I went.

Whats up everyone? I am a fan of the entire Fallout Series. As a matter of fact I still play Fallout Tactics BOS occasionally. My 360 fried and I have no future plans on replacing it yet. I was wondering if it is worth buying the PC version.

I got an older rig with an LGA dual core Pentium D 3.0 processor, 2 GB Ram, an AGP Force 6800 GT on a good Gigabyte motherboard. With windows XP Pro, and a Hyundai L90D+ LCd rated at 4ms.

I was wondering how gameplay, graphics and the controls of the game feel on the PC version.

Thanks for any feedback....

PEACE!!!

Thank you. Finally! Someone who cares. Thank you. I'm picking it up next week.

Thank you again. :D

I have a couple of things to say so... Hear me out.

1. You can't compare Fallout 3 and Tactics together. Fallout Tactics wasn't the next Fallout, never was, never will be. But when someone puts "Fallout 3" then it has to be as close as the first 2 as possible, while updating it a little bit.

2. I'm not sure if I would like Fallout 3. I had two things I liked about the first two. First of all, I loved the sarcastic humor that you could hear, the witty remarks, even the choices of lines I could say were great. Second of all, I also liked that because it's in the Fallout setting, you could see and do anything. Go to New Reno and there's whores, drugs, gambling and more. You can shoot others in the groin, kill children if you wanted to, you could be a retarded person who didn't know how to put a sentence together, ETC.

Something that I hated about Morrowind and Oblivion were that you were almost forced to be in a 1st person mode, 3rd person was nearly unplayable and I want to see my character. Another thing I hated was that the quests were for the most part, boring to do.

I really want to know if I would be able to enjoy Fallout 3, please go into detail with my hates and loves to let me see.

Taloskai

The dialogue in this game (like in Oblivion) was written by an 8 year old, no witty comments or sarcastic humor, you don't have as much roleplaying freedom and this game isn't in the fallout setting, just a post-apocaliptic setting with vault boy thrown into it, also the 3rd person mode is still crap.

Im having a problem with getting the GECK in vault 87. Many use Fawkes to get it for them, but he was killed in my game...

any ideas?
menes40

Well...you would have to take a bunch of rad-x, and then run like hell, unlock the door and then run back. Take a bunch of rad away, and then repeat the process only this time grabbing the G.E.C.K. As far as not having enough rad products, well then I don't know what to tell you. I personally used Fawkes, but I have read that the above method is what would have to be done.

i'm 4 hours into the game, so i'll share with you my 1st impression.

first of all, this is quite a polished game. Bethesda clearly has put alot of effort into the production. the best thing i like about it so far is the rendering of the gameworld. for the first time in the entire series, the blasted post apocalyptic Wasteland is finally materialized to its full glory, creating an enormous visual impact rarely felt in other Fallout games, and definitely not in other IPs.

but sadly, i don't think there's much beyond that to wow a Fallout veteran like you and me. i think Bethesda has once again failed in the writing department. it's definitely better than Elder Scroll games, but not nearly as witty and memorable as Fallout and Fallout 2 were. NPCs are just your run of mill type quest givers, some well voiced and others passable. the dialogue serves its purpose, but is surprisingly conservative and doesn't leave any strong impression.

i find this surprising, becoz Fallout 3 doesn't seem to refrain itself from controversial presentation when it comes to combat. this is one of the goriest rpgs available to date, and you'd see heads and limbs flying to a mind-numbing extent. beneath the gore, it's a solid combat system that gives alot of instant gratification, but it's nothing terribly deep and rewarding. the game is quite easy -- AP for the VATS system replenish rapidly, and you can kill most enemies by running up to them and shooting their heads off using the VATS. on normal mode, i never felt like i have struggle for survival like i did in the old Fallout games, and it's overall quite an forgiving -- and perhaps un-rewarding -- experience.

Fallout 3 has also inherited some classic Elder Scroll problems that really turned me away. the economy in the game, or at least in Megaton, is entirely broken. you won't want to switch to 3rd person mode in Fallout 3, becoz Bethesda has yet to figure out how to fix their awkward character animations. the actual real time combat ( ie. without using VATS ) is very weak, especially the shooting.

but that's not to say it's a bad game. if i were to give it a score, it would get 8-8.5 from me. while not quite the successor to the classic series we've hoped for, Fallout 3 is a big game that deserves every rpg fan's attention. my advice -- if you have a xbox360, rent the game just to be safe. :)

Jinroh_basic

I think the humor in Fallout 3 is much more subtle than Fallout 2's and Fallout 1 had very little humor in it anyways. Fallout 2's humor took players out of the game by having them recall things from other movies, games or tv series, Fallout 3's humor is embedded in the game world that they created.

Go to Rivet City and read the history museum's texts. It states that Lincoln was a handsome fellow and that the war that detroyed the world could have been prevented if the president's declaration of war was much more firm like Lincoln's speeches were.

I laughed at the butchering of history because that is something that would more than likely happen. coming across a bridge guard that reenacts a scene from Monty Python... not as likely.

And I wouldn't say the dialogue is too conservative. I've run across a few foul mouthed little kids. One that called the ants efing ants, and another one in Rivet city I heard call another person's mother a $%^&*. Other than that I've run into a few drug addicts, a handful of whores, some very rude people and quite a few totally hopeless people that just swore and complained. You can't shoot children but that's apart of the climate we're in these days however I always see children's skeletons laying around in almost every building.

The game still tackles racism, slavery, sex and drugs but not as well as the prior games or at least it's not as in your face as those games did it.

I think the way this game plays, I'd put it above Fallout 1 but lower than fallout 2. I fixes everything wrong I found in the Fallout games but just doesn't have the craziness of Fallout 2.

and my biggest Oblivion left over complaint is how the bandits are always aggressive. In the other Fallouts they'd at least try to shake you down first...in this game it's shoot first, shake down later.

megamortis

I think it is. I usually use a Scoped .44 Magnum and I'll aim while it says Caution and still blow them to pieces. I think you can even still sneak attack enemies when it says Detected because there are friendly people around. I't's just when it says danger that you're screwed.

So I just got FO3 this day, and I just went throu it to see what its all about. Pretty much, the whole (quite short, yet I got out of the vault and into a city) was very much like Oblivion. Speaking with pepole is fun, exploring the world and all, and the garaphics are sharp and nicely done, but, just like Oblivion, the GP cant seem to satesfy me. Just like Oblivion, its just not fun, fighting in FO3 creates very odd situations, if you shot somone, he will shot back at you, and thats about as good as the AI (seemes, so far) to get. Your enemy (humans) dont even move an inch, and the animation is so wierd, nothing actually moves about him, and he actually holds the gun at the wrist and looks like a dull pointing at you. You dont even see or feel the bullets that comes out of your weapon. Shooting in the head is as good as nothing and it takes a lot of bullets until you take sombeoudy down.

Yes, I know its not an FPS, I love RPG games, but really, when I fight someone that I could speak to just a few minuts ago, which means he can tallk, I expect him to also be able to do the amazing move of "wallking".

I still need to play more to really jduge the game, but I allrady know I wont find much when it comes to the GP part of FO3, sadly.

NsNsis

The thing is, since the shooting does use stat aspects such as the damage rating fo the gun and your skill with it, head shots and everything do effect your foes. I'm at a point where 1 shot to the head with my scoped .44 magnum and 95 skill in small arms will drop even a Super Mutant Master. Plus I've gotten good at taking leg shots at fast enemies to slow them down or shooting the rocket launchers out of Raiders' hands.

it sounds like you haven't played it enough to get good at shooting yet.

A simple question:

Is it possible to gain a sneak critical while under Caution status?

megamortis

Yes. Caution means that they are aware that something is up, but they may not know where the disturbance is. Danger means that they are aware of you. For example; If I am in a building I might hide around a corner and then fire a few shots to get the enemies to check what is going on, and when they turn the corner I can get a sneak attack on them. Often I can get a point blank sneak attack shot. WARNING: Remember to not do this to enemies way more powerful than you. You may not want to sneak up on a Talon Company Merc when your attack may fail. It is a good way to die...

True, I also feel that I didnt even scratch the FO3 universe. I just hope that the Gameplay will turn out to be very fun, beacuse that was the bigest let down with Oblivion. Maybe they will tweak the AI and animaitions with a patch.

Please help!

I've been playing Fallout 3 for some days and now I've found out that I can't Load neither continue the game where I finished last time. These options aren't even selectable! O_O" It feels really awful since I was already getting into vault 87 and I don't wanna play all the way there again.

The funny thing is that everything seems ok at the saves folder. Here's a screenshot:

What's your rig? is it crashing during game or before start up? I had the Fallout 3 launcher keep crasing on me so I swapped the shortcut to start the game and I haven't had a problem since. If it's in game then i dont know

Well, I just meet the minimum requirements. I haven't tweaked the .ini, I messed with the in-game settings until I found the perfect combination, then I played for about four hours without any problem, and with surprisingly good FPS. I reached level 4.

Then I was walking near the Super-Duper mall, and it seemed like when I crossed a certain line, the game would crash. I tried different paths around, but it still crashed.

I looked in the Bethesda forums, and saw that if I change my weapon and current quest I can cross these "invisible lines". It worked for a while, but now it's crashing again. I can't leave Megaton anymore, it's crashing a second after I exit the city. I tried absolutely everything I found on the forums, now I'm reinstalling the game :(

Good thing I'm saving manually pretty often:|

You shold be able to run it with good FPS with nice graphics thou it depens on what resolution you play on. Try "CanYouRunIt" (search on google).
