    Well it started with the expansions for such a 'great' game!

    I have no problem with the route Bethesda is taking. Unlike most people I was utterly satisfied with Fo3, except the damned weight schemes, item degradation and poor writing. I basically see the expansions as ways to feed more content to the Mod artists though. I mean we all know games are...

    BIG NEWS! SDK date announced!

    I can't wait! Once they start adding back some of the classic weapons Ill be truly happy. They referring to the modders. All I really want are a few things: Farms- The old classic style of hard scrabble farm with a few brahmin. Populate the farms around the D.C area with the hardy folk we...

    Fallout 3 - Realism, the world, and trees

    The issue really stands as to how you change the trees in the game. Could foliage be added to some of the trees added by speedtree? I tend to enjoy a semi recovered wasteland theme. Even with multiple megaton class bombs the ground wouldnt be so sterilized that it cant grow. Albeit there are...

    Oasis

    I liked the mission a great deal because they stuck to the cult mentality similar to a cargo cult. They see Harold but in there demented way cant understand him as anything other then a God. The outfits thematically seem to suit treehuggers. Which frankly isn't to jarring a reality in a...

    Fallout 3 Realism Overhaul

    Actually there are some excellent combat mods now. I'm at work so I dont have much time to say which but the one I use has several flavors. One which increases the need for skills and ups the importance of weapon conditions while adjusting damage to be more realistic to weapons. Another upping...

    Impressions thread for positive impressions

    The only think that irked me terribly in F3 is the lack of variety and reason. The story line just didn't jive. To many times your caught going Wtf?! That doesn't make any sense! That and you need more weapons. Crafted and looted. Mind you Im patient when it comes to this. I can see more...

    real junk weapons

    :clap: Best idea I've seen in ages! I actually made a pipe rifle once. It used a modified .325 WSM and was quite sufficient to knock down a grizzly bear or moose if need be. Like someone said, it was a cinch to fix since I could get the parts from any store with pipes of the right gauge. I...

    A suitible alternative to vampirism

    Vampires always seemed to fit into the fallout world to me. With the mechanism of mutations being a reality in fallout its not that far of a stretch. Several human diseases actually require humans to absorb more blood components to survive. Many people have to get regular blood transfusions or...

    Anyone else find computer hacking depressing?

    Its always related to the place. Trust me on that. Its just difficult to suss out why sometimes. As for taking 3 guesses and repeating, dont reload and tell me its easy. Hehe in reality if you fail, you fail. Until you get the skills to try again and if you fail again, your screwed. I don't...

    The Socioeconomic Fabric of Bethesda's PA-DC: Dumb

    Sigh, to tired to discuss. Been working on a VAT mod. All I can say is, meh, different area different rules. Rather then trying to justify why things arent the way they should be. Find ways why they are the way they are. Based on storyline. Not a bad programmer. Although it was bad planning. You...

    Big city life in D.C.

    Actually you can basically mod in a totally seperate storyline and just use the main as a amusing diversion. Thats what I did in Oblivion and I was happy as can be. As for the combat, such as targeting, weapon damage, weapon weights, ammo weights, item degradation, they were all fixed...

    Fallout 3 is derivative

    This is of course to be expected with any industry. Eventually a new medium for games will appear. That or something which replaces games. Until then we are settling into the phase of mediocrity as is the case for any mass produced product. Usually its only during the first few decades of...

    Fallout 3 Realism Overhaul

    In response to Zag, the Nuclear explosions stay. Sorry. You can take them out in a MOD maybe but they need to stay in for storyline purposes. The Cars did explode. Per design docs for the game, the engines had a danger to explode if the containment was breeched and sufficient force was...

    Curious to know if this has been done - Weapon Repairing MOD

    You cant really use scrap metal. Then again we could make gun parts with scrap metal. All Id need is a Smelter , forms and a anvil for a few parts. Its not as high tech for rifles. Albeit make a barrel wrong BOOOOM! Your in deep shit. Rest of the parts and your just looking at a jam if you did...

    Fallout 3 Realism Overhaul

    I just went and sat in the pool of water which the bomb stands in. Boy that added up fast hehe. I never did think of the fact the humans in the waste may have a rad resistance and I wouldn't coming from the vault. Damned that makes sense!
