Hi all, After playing the game when it came out last year and giving it another look now, I still find it way too easy. This is with Broken Steel and Pitt DLCs, FO3 Wanderers (using mostly default or harder settings for leveling, loot, skill points, carry weight), MMM, and the...

like Ellison's "A Boy and his Dog"?

Hi, Does anyone know of a mod that will alter the armor/damage system so that knives/baseball bats will no longer be able to kill a player in power armor?! IIRC, Fallout 2 had a system like this for damage absorbed? So in effect if the weapon could not cause damage above the armor value...

That's too bad you feel that way. It's really short-sighted to ignore the huge mod community we have inherited from the Elder Scrolls world (where the most popular mods are modular). So now there will be your NMA way and then the rest of the community. It's really too bad that your fine work...

for those of us not in total agreement with your vision of what FO3 should be, but think you have some very good ideas... can you modular-ize your mod? It would make it more compatible with some of the other re-balance mods out there, like...

As stated here :http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=47222&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asce I can't stand it in FO3 that in power armor I can get taken out by pistols, SMGs, shotguns, or assault rifles, not to mention combat knives or dog bites. Power armor should be IMMUNE to...

Why would a secret or fascist government (apparently the state of the government before the nuclear exchange) need to run mind-control/drug/etc experiments on isolated vault populations AFTER the end of the world? I would think they would already have the draconian laws and resources (PoWs...

I was just disappointed to see some of the weaker and more ridiculous plot elements from the earlier games (vault experiments, FEV, enclave) recycled in FO3. Were the devs too frightened about pissing off fans to come up with any new ideas? I would expect a sequel to EXPAND the game world, not...

*SPOILER WARNING* *RANT WARNING* Does anyone else think that the idea that the vaults were a large social experiment instead of just shelters the dumbest idea ever? This was also the story in FO2, and was just as stupid there. I mean, think about it, the country is preparing for a GLOBAL...

in Hiroshima there are two trees about 1/4 mile from ground center that survived the blast and are going strong today. So it's not radiation in FO3 that is keeping trees from coming back... must be some other weird effect from the bombings.

yeah, exactly, also some options for creating additional custom weapons or items with junk found around the wasteland. Actually, as someone posted earlier, the differences between Oblivion and Fallout 3 are quite similar to Baldur's Gate 2 and Icewind Dale - same game, different story. I...

never saw that in Oblivion, as I played it straight away with mods like Obscuro's Oblivion Overhaul. the only major difference is setting/story.

Well, it's obviously "Oblivion with Guns" and not the Fallout sequel I would have wanted but I still like it, and it is a massive improvement on vanilla Oblivion... Some quick highlights: * VATS * better sense of purpose and back-story. * immersive atmosphere and setting. * NPCs are way...

I understood that Megaton had ample supplies of freshwater because the bomb or aircraft crash which caused the crater also acts as a well for groundwater. If you talk to that old woman in Megaton she talks about the town's history. I agree with the gist of this thread that the game world...

thanks, these are great!

Hi, Does anybody know the full range of reputation terms for Fallout 2? IIRC, it went from 'vilified' to 'hero' or something. Some people are making a remake of Origin's classic space-sim Privateer ( http://priv.solsector.net/ ) and it would be neat to replace the numerical values...
