Starting Fallout 3


SlyRedFox

Recommended Posts

Ok so I just got Fallout 3 and was wondering if anyone had tips for before starting?

 

also what community mods and patch do you recommend?

 

is the face generator still as crappy as Oblivion (everyone was extremely ugly) and will i have to again get some babe looking girl patch to actually have a decent looking character....though I'd like to play as a guy for once...but one that doesn't look too deformed...

 

does playing as a men or a woman change anything? can you have sex with people (video game sex is just too funny)

 

so yeah anything else I should know before playing?

 

thanks

no sex (Bethesda is very censored) but there are a few mods...

the two best:

Wasteland Player:

Seducing Women:

and one that makes Nova (Megaton prostitute) spoon your character when you buy a room, but I don't know the name

 

a babe looking patch would be one of the female body replacers:

Type V Female Body Replacer (my personal fav):

Malos Nude Body Replacer:

BABE Mk3:

gender only sets which variant two of the perks (Daddy's Girl/Boy, and Lady Killer/Black Widow, but they both do pretty much the same thing) and how people address you

 

faces are pretty good.....

but I suggest the Hair Pack by Yoshikinakota, since most of the default hairs aren't that great

DON'T INSTALL THE 1.5 PATCH

its really buggy and most mods won't work with it

download FOMM (Fallout Mod Manager), G.E.C.K. (the games SDK, get it even if you aren't gonna do any modding), FOSE (Fallout Script Extender, ALOT of mods need it, but it DOESN"T WORK WITH 1.5), a cool little utility for launching various other things (Fallout 3, FOMM, GECK, etc.), changing the load order for mods, etc., FO3Edit (for changing ESP headers to ESM headers so mods don't interfere as much and cause as many problems

FOSE:

FOMM:

G.E.C.K.:

Little Boy:

FO3Edit:

thats pretty much it, I suggest downloading the DLCs (or buying them on a disk, but currently only Amchorage and The Pitt out on disk, Broken Steel will be released on a disk with Point Lookout (which is still in development) in august) make sure you get a mod to make your followers (if you use them) essential, otherwise they won't last long, other than that....

have fun playing Fallout

rename it to FO3MasterUpdate

then from FOMM or the default launcher (FOMM works best, cause the default doesn't always write the changes to disk) activate all the mods you want to use

then close that

and run FO3MasterUpdate (MUST be renamed) and let it run

then it should say something like ALL DONE at the very bottom

run that once every time you add new mods or change existing ones (the header would be changed back to an ESP header when you edit it) so no, you don't need to run it every time you play Fallout

and I was checking the Global Travel System and had a hard time understanding what it do exactly

 

is there no way to control vehicles in the original game?

I'm not sure.....

I don't think so

but I wouldn't mess with the GTS til you've gotten a good start in the wasteland

 

when you make your character......

try to make all the stats (ESPECIALLY the SPECIAL skills) pretty even, but put an extra point into Strength if you can, since each point of strength equals ten more pounds that you can carry

whenever i get in the elementary school at the start of the game, i try to go in VATS mode and all the enemies part show 0% chance of hitting, it's also extremely laggy (usually i run a good 30+ fps) and sometime the game just crash...happened to anyone else or anybody know why?
