    Best song to listen to whilst roaming?

    Another one of my favorites, not mentioned here, "Why don't You Do Right?", by Peggy Lee? Don't know why I didn't mention it before, that song tends to stick in my head every once in awhile, very blues, ... literally find myself wandering the Mojave and singing that song even though it is not...

    That sounds like an embarrassing dream, but it certainly is a good choice for Weird Things, probably the best? Kalasanty11: You may have already seen these EnhancedGamePlay by Iztari and Tuckered Out - Falling and Fatigue Realism by Greslin, they don't improve the AI scripting...

    Why is Fallout 3 so loved ?

    uh huh, ... and your reply still misses the point. You see, I already know why some of the old fan base "hates" Fallout 3, I did read all the "hate" in both the "Why is Fo3 so hated" topic AND in this topic. The irony wasn't directed at you specifically, go back and read the line again. This...

    Why is Fallout 3 so loved ?

    It does not matter what the original Vision Statement was, it was not written by the current owners of the Intellectual Property. Why would you expect otherwise? Bethesda spent a lot of money upfront for it, of course they were going to use the Gamebryo engine to cut costs. You are more than...

    Why is Fallout 3 so loved ?

    Facts and Generalities TRUE: "It's just not what [many] old fallout-fans were expecting." "it doesn't try to be what a Fallout game is." You are going to have to define what you think a Fallout game is and should be, and even then you will find as much disagreement there as in the definition...

    Best song to listen to whilst roaming?

    Can this be music we actually do listen too while roaming the Mojave? or is it only for the music that shipped with the game? For music that shipped with the game, "Big Iron" is good, a favorite actually, and so are the other favorites mentioned, "Ain't That a Kick in the Head", "Lone...

    Emperor : well they come in the Pembroke (no tail) and the Cardigan (tail), the script for them is always about food, which is very much like the Corgi personality, the model version the author used has the legs a little longer than a real Corgi, that was so the animation would let them jump...

    Why is Fallout 3 so loved ?

    I couldn't think of a custom title until now, it fits very well for Fo3 I think, and I leave this thread with a joke I heard 40 years or so ago (didn't know where else to post it), rewritten for Fallout: http://modsreloaded.com/topic5383.html

    Sorry 'bout that, I didn't know, ... see? crazy hamster is, well, ... crazy. It is an awesome mod though, along with a better version of the tired old Player Home mods, there is this one: http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/49638/? there are several well thought out quests to get the...

    How to get this mod setup to work?

    Being a Fo3 mod list, what Warhawk says is true, Lexx gave you a suggestion for disabling half the mods to see if the game CTD occurs, but you can use Warhawk's suggestion in combination: disable all the weapon mods except one and re-enable them one by one, ... or use this...

    Gizmojunk: I hear you, makes sense to me, but a vegan BBQ? bleah, I need meat! and then, ... Drat, my bad, I misread it, acck thhbbbt, it will be the same hack team that brought you Fo3? Again, I will have to mod the crap out of to make it worthwhile, when will these studios ever learn? Is it...

    Weird things you do in your games...

    I like the way you think. I do that too, play it once to see what the hell is going on, then modify the crap out of it to what else it can do. Play any character you want, make any story you want. Let's see, oddest thing I do in the game?, ... how about using signature armor and fully modded...

    This is why I prefer New Vegas. Why or why dont you?

    Yup, I concur with most of the sentiments here. Fo3 lacked a lot, and the story line was overly simplified. I still play it not for the story, but for the reason that it is so easy to go in and change it, add to it or build new stories, just by using the game assets. I liked Point Lookout more...

    Why is Fallout 3 so loved ?

    Ah yes, that was it, all 3 plots did involve the player being tasked with finding a way to provide clean water to a group of people, and then being caught up in events during or after the initial quest. Okay, a plot rip-off, it wasn't very original to be sure. As for 2D/2.5D/3D, I apologize, I...

    Why is Fallout 3 so loved ?

    Gizmojunk: yeah, I understand, but I am not sure what you mean by "plot of both games", unless you mean that all three plots involve providing water to the wastelands? I guess what I meant by "template" was the use of the Pipboy as a character interaction tool, the use of the SPECIAL, Skills...

    Why is Fallout 3 so loved ?

    Wow, such a harsh tone. I apologize if I have angered you in any way, but ... ... please allow me to share what I have learned in formal study and on the job about role playing as a dramatic art and its use in theater. The term 'role playing' has such a broad definition and contextual use in...

    Do you consider this mod more a Fallout game than Fallout 3?

    You really have to play it, it is awesome, or wait until part 2 comes out and try it. I am not sure what the companion limit is, but I had quite a large group (more than 3), the team put quite a lot of effort into developing the characters too, they are quite intriguing and believable ... I...

    Why is Fallout 3 so loved ?

    apt means inclined toward or disposed to, or prone to. I think I understand where the confusion over the term role playing is coming from and why we are missing each other. I am using the strict sense or how the general population would use the term to describe the popularity of the game, and...

    Yamu : I sincerely apologize for the text walls, my bad. I will try to be brief. naossano : "with theater, something that is the opposite of roleplaying" I heartily disagree, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role-playing In theater we were taught to role play all the time for...
