Thanks. I'll try that. Do I need to install sfall to run it windowed? I prefer to run full screen but if this is the only way it will work... Edit: Update - sfall didn't recognize Fallout 1 (said error looking for Fallout 2), so I'm currently trying D3D Windower. And DXWnd Edit: Update 2...

I have a Windows tablet (Win 7) and I suffer the same problem. It doesn't recognize touch as mouse input effectively. I have the Fallout 1 HiRes patch installed. I also own the original game disk and installed it onto an SD card. Also running v1.1. The real frustrating thing is I bought the...

Can't do that man. I've got five kids to feed!

I am excited for more Fallout. I am saddened that Obsidian is not controlling the story and dialogue, and that it is still real-time combat (I know there is little chance that part changes). But I far prefer combat in Wasteland 2 to Fallout 3+. I only use VATS to attack to at least pretend...

Weakest link in NV is the combat engine. I miss the turn-based system of Fallout 1 and 2. The only thing that saved the combat for me is VATS. As tacked on and pseudo-turn-based as it was, it allows me to let my character build do 100 percent of the combat. If I don't have enough action...

I liked it from the comedy standpoint. And the 'flies' comment was spot on! All I could think of are the Bloat Flies from Fallout 3 and how much easier they went down.

Hello and welcome! I, too, played the original Fallouts upon release and hold Fallout 1 to be my favorite game of all time. I find Fallout: New Vegas to be what Fallout 3 should have been (given the limitations of the engine). I am about 1/3 of the way through the story, I believe, and have...

Initial Stats: Str: 3 Per: 6 End: 3 Cha: 3 Int: 10 Agl: 9 Luc: 6 I use VATS exclusively to attack. I do not attack in real-time. Therefore it is crucial for me to maximize my AP and bonuses I get from VATS. Traits: Built for Destruction and Kamikazee Tag Skills: Guns, Repair...

Yes, like that. And also the way damage should be dealt - based on weapon and ammo type as well as location hit.

Thank you Texas! That is encouraging! :clap:

What I find interesting about the FPS comment is that VATS actually saved the game for me. I'm not sure how much I would have played if my character build had NO effect on combat. Although I do realize that VATS was just a pause mode tacked on to appease the hardcore RPG crowd, it worked for...

Has it been established if different ammo types do different damage? I know you can craft ammunition but I'm not sure what effect that has in the game.

Got my collector's edition on preorder with Gamestop for the PS3. I never experienced any real gamestopping issues with Fallout 3 on my PS3.

As an old-time PC gamer that loved FO1 and currently games on the PS3, I love the combat idea! :clap: Have any of you tried FO3 combat exclusively in VATS? No RT shots? I think it adds a bit to the challenge.

I think they bought the Starcraft license and are going to make Starcraft 3 an FPS/Strategy game hybrid. Not like the cancelled 'Ghost' game, more like a bastardized version of the classic original. Only you'll need to manage your units from a first person perspective. Should be fun because...
