    All-VATS Combat: 5 Script Tweaks to Approximate Turn-Based.

    Good work vonmistont :clap: I'll download the mod or make the changes myself, although I'm not sure the 13 seconds delay in V.A.T.S. will stay, considering I find the delay by default already too long. Thanks for pointing out the variable to change though, I'll try to switch to zero or some...

    All-VATS Combat: 5 Script Tweaks to Approximate Turn-Based.

    About Slow-Mo, I don't know the specific either, but it does seem that I shoot faster using it than in real time. This is most noticeable when shooting a chinese assault rifle on a melee enemy : I can unload my ammo in V.A.T.S. while not recieving a single hit. I admit this may be biased by the...

    Oblivion Traces in Fallout3

    It wouldn't make much sense for Bethesda Softworks to just throw away all their work on Oblivion for Fallout 3, especially if the engine remains the same. These leftovers are honestly not surprising and not embarassing, unless they want to prove that Fallout 3 is *not* Oblivion with Guns...

    Better Power Armor

    Talon company is not a joke at level 2 when one is armed with a combat shotgun. On very hard settings, it means you die in one or two shot :) The only way I can see to restore the Power Armor glory would be to reintroduce the damage thresholds system. I honestly wouldn't care if my armor...

    All-VATS Combat: 5 Script Tweaks to Approximate Turn-Based.

    Funny, I thought about the same things as you did while I played the game a little bit yesterday, although with somewhat different views. I think the first and fifth point contradict themselves. If you want to make your turn a time where enemy don't attack back, why negate the slow-motion ...

    T-51b where?

    It's actually pretty expensive once repaired, considering how cheap everything else is in the Fallout 3 world. And you *can* repair the unique sets at a merchant, he doesn't need a replicate :) Although I have yet to see one that repairs to more than 51% condition.

    Change the language

    I bought mine in belgium and had the option between french and english at the beginning of the installation. My O.S. and locale settings are both in english though, maybe it had something to do with it.

    T-51b where?

    I think the problem about Power Armor in Fallout 3 is that it does not make you feel protected at all. My various sets offered no more than 40% damage reduction at most, and the disappearance of damage thresholds is a big letdown. In FO1, when you finally had power armor, conventional weapons...

    Help with broken "Those!" quest?

    I think a door previously *inaccessible* opens in the Marigold Station when you have the quest active. This door directly leads you to Lesko's lab and eventualy to the ant queen nest. If you haven't passed some sort of lab then I suggest you explore the station a little more. I don't know if...

    Out of energy ammo + I have to fight Super Mutants

    Figuring out where it is may prove tough considering there is no clue :). I admit I did almost no exploration outside of a few sidequests here and there and mainly focused on the main quest. I'm sure it's available somewhere (in a vault maybe ? or the military base ?). Getting the A3-21's...

    Minimal UI mod + Revelation Thread

    First of all, thank you for your efforts in putting up this much needed mod ! I don't know if what I'll mention is doable, but still, here are a few notes : The space that separates multiple lines of text (mostly dialog) is too small Selection box in menus is not centered vertically (it's...

    Out of energy ammo + I have to fight Super Mutants

    Problem is, you don't find any plasma rifle until very late in the main quest, but it is very handy against heavily armored opponents. I think the damage stats for automatic weapons is a bit off. As I observed, the chinese AK doesn't actually do 50 damage per hit, but per chunk of 4-5...

    Speech Challange makes CHARISMA almost useless?

    In a way, it does. I saw several occurences of [Intelligence] specific dialogs (whether the dialog option is really intelligent is another matter). Anyway, max out intelligence early as it gives you more skill points to spend. Not quite, Luck affect % of criticals that are needed in Very Hard...

    Arefu "Family"

    I don't think the Talon's mercenaries crew have anything to do with Arefu's Family, they're just part of a random encounter when going into the wasteland. Seems you have a bounty on your head, and they want it, but you cannot offer double pay to avoid the fight. Some mercenaries they are :roll...

    Out of energy ammo + I have to fight Super Mutants

    The Super Mutant Masters are not really hard, just very very resilient. Just make sure you have lots and lots of ammo. Abuse the AI and V.A.T.S. if you really have trouble : hide behind a corner, wait for your APs to recharge, then take one step out, engage V.A.T.S., unload your weapon, go back...

    which version to buy?

    Playing with the keyboard/mouse combo, you only have two options : walk, or run. No speed increments that I know of. You can crouch to run a little slower or walk at a turtle's pace if you want though. All keys can be remapped as far as I can tell. Aiming in 3rd person is actually pretty...

    Gamasutra kills children

    You can't prevent a player from reloading his game after doing something bad, but if he does, he admits he screwed up. What's the better way to make the point killing children is bad ? The inability to kill them, or the reaction this would cause in the world (all NPC are shoot-on-sight, contract...

    Immortal dad walks through raider, super mutant squads *S*

    Depends on who you want to put at work I guess. AI programmers ? Writers ? Quest scripters ? It's so much easier to just set them invincible :roll:

    F3 pre-vault leave opinion

    I agree the introduction sequence is quite awful. My first few minutes in the vault felt forced on me, and it was no fun at all. Thankfully, it gets better once you get out. Same thing as in Oblivion : make sure you save your game right before the exit to wasteland if you ever plan to start...

    Immortal dad walks through raider, super mutant squads *S*

    Well, it's either that, or you can't complete the main quest. Then again, maybe they wouldn't have had to do that if he was the slightest bit as smart as he supposed to be. Just running into everyone isn't really a good move when you have no weapon or armor, and the opponent is waiting for...
