The truth is Fallout 3 isn't Fallout 1 or Fallout 2, and many of the diehard fans here are fairly angry about it. Couple with the fact that Bethesda did it's normal routine of trying to make too epic of a game, they lost focus and made a pretty good game, but not an excellent one. When...

F3C plays very differently from the origianl FO3. It's much more difficult and not very newbie friendly. If you are a veteran FO / FO 2 player, you should honestly have no problem. It's still easy. However, if you've never played through FO3 originally, you should at least do a short run through...

Reservist : To be used effectively, you need to snipe outside of VATS, with high level sneak, luck, agility, and small guns skill. You should be able to nail targets a mile away (figuratively speaking of course). Much farther than you would with VATs. Blackhawk .44 : Excellent, period. VATs...

I think it should just be built from the ground-up, with the help of creative writers from this board.

Because, Fallout 3 has much potential to it. The Oblivion engine was easily modified, and with the correct addons, it was actually a decent game, if not great by some people's standards. Fallout 3 itself is actually pretty good. Not great, excellent, amazing, or any of those words. Just...

Without VATS this game would be a very unplayable piece of crap. VATS makes it playable. Vampires The Masquerade is an example of a FPS/RPG that failed miserably in the combat department.

That's why you disable fog in the ini. Or did you not know that? His bottleneck IS the CPU. I'm getting much better performance then he is with a much worse video card that doesn't even meet the requirements. The only difference is that my processor is slightly faster and I did some extra...

Yea, if they took out the Fallout elements, and they renamed it something else, I'd really like the game, as it is better then about 99% of the crap released now adays.

Your processor is the bottleneck. You actually have a video card superior to mine, yet are getting worse performance. I average around 40 FPS inside and about 20-30 outside depending on how many enemies, etc. Of course, I also did some tweaking in the ini files, so that might have helped...

The original Wasteland was such fun. I still play it to this day. When I need to waste time, I always go to that game.

I did a stress test with my laptop, which is a 2.4 GHZ Duo Core, 2GB Ram, and a Nvidia Geforce GO 7150M Integrated Graphics. It actually runs at the lowest settings at 800 x 600, much better then Oblivion. Fallout 3 is far more optimized then you make it out to be. It was actually at...

It's really not all that bad. Having a computer that is way too expensive does help that aspect though. Are you on the PS3 version? Because if you are that's probably why the game is butt ugly. Plus you have to understand how much work they did in the artwork part. You can't just expect...

Have you reached the point where there's a locked fence and Feral Ghouls in the underground? They just run in circles as you shoot them :P

It's really not that bad. If you replace the title Fallout 3 with "Post Apocalyptic Journey to find my Dad", it's actually pretty good. Sure, it has some minor flaws, but it isn't that piece of shit that BoS was.

You have some legitimate arguments, but the graphics argument really isn't one. The problem that you run into is the fact that Fallout 3 is based on the Oblivion engine because there's really not that many other engines out there that could support a huge world like Fallout 3, while still...

Small Guns are far more useful then Big Guns. Ammo is plentiful for most, and the majority do enough damage for you to blow through the game on normal. However, as stupid as the Fatman is, it's always nice to have when you're facing off against tons of Supermutants. The minigun is ok, but...

Intense Training pretty much breaks the game. If you want to blow through the game at rapid speeds, use this. With +1 to stats at every level (and you do level up fairly fast in this game) you can essentially make your character a super hero midway through the game (around level 10 or...

The locker in the Galactic News Station (whatever it's called, I can't remember it off the top of my head) has lockers that don't dissipate items.

The AI is pretty stupid in the game, but not as terrible as Oblivion's. It could have been alot worse, although the Feral Ghoul and Super Mutant AI isn't exactly the greatest. Most human enemies are fairly smart though, they'll run away if you knock their weapons out of their hands...

In laymans terms if you didn't understand what he was saying, basically Script Extender allowed you to make Guards, Shopkeepers, and other NPCs (animals, bandits, etc.) not completely retarded as they were in the Vanilla version of the game. Without Script Extender in Fallout 3, you...
