M48A5 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I play on a computer monitor, so I am unfamiliar with what happens with a TV. As for the motorcycles, I don't use that part of FWE so it just seems there are a lot of them around. It might just be I notice them more because I don't use Alternate Travel.

Ethreon Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 The motorcycle should be in front of Megaton, and it needs to be repaired and fueled to function. As for generic clutter motorcycles, there's one near the school, and saw plenty more - most of them explode when shot, but cannot be used to ride around. As for your crashes and TV thing, you might wanna try SkyrimTweaks - it works with FO3 as well, and it is easy to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianpwilliams Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 So how does the Megaton motorcycle thing work then? I did look through the various notes in-game but I didn't completely get my head around it. It sounds like there is just one motorcycle, and when you want to fast travel somewhere then you have to select it and travel to your destination, and the presumably when you reach your destination it will be somewhere near that destination? But then of course if you travel on foot then it will be wherever you left it and would need to pay an NPC to fast travel back to it? I don't mind a bit of realism regarding travel, but I don't want it to be a complete pain. I'm also aware that you need fuel which has something to do with workbenches. Maybe if I understood it more then I might be able to use it properly and get on with it better. As for the crashes, there have been a lot less when playing at the lower resolution, but obviously the highest resolution is great because it looks amazing. So I wonder if I should try the NV crash mod first or the SkyrimTweaks thing first (and should I do both?)? Which is better suited to my predicament?

M48A5 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 "would need to pay an NPC to fast travel" What is it that you are using that requires payment for fast travel? In all the time I have played FO3, I have never paid anyone for fast travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianpwilliams Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 I think it's part of the Alternate Travel mod. So you can either ride your motorcycle to places (if you keep it maintained), or there are caravan-type NPCs outside most places who will take you to other places if you pay them. Annoyingly though each one only seems to take you to a couple of specific places, when really they should be able to at least take you to any place that has already been discovered.

Ethreon Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Part of the alternate travel plugin you can either acquire, repair and refuel a motorcycle (you should be prompted first time using it on what you need) OR you can pay specific NPCs to get you places (very limited and expensive).

ianpwilliams Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 OK so maybe I should head back to Megaton on foot (I need to anyway), and then try and get the bike running? And then assuming I can get it running then I use that to travel to distant places, then explore around there, then return to the bike etc? Incidentally I can't find anything about SkyrimTweeks, have you got a link. Meantime I'll see what NVAC might have to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianpwilliams Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 Thanks. So some people use it for Fallout 3? Because it does seem very skyrim mod based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethreon Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 It works for all 3 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
