VGI Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) I have installed UFC3 to solve the Chinese Stealth Armor bug-exploit: When wearing the Chinese stealth armor, you are able to equip multiple hats or helmets. You do not get the DR bonuses for more than one piece of headgear (except for the metal helmet, which does stack), but you do get the other bonuses, such as extra points to skills and stats. The hats will all remain equipped when you take off the stealth armor. Multiple copies of the same headgear can be worn, and their bonuses will stack. A single hockey mask, for example, gives +5 to the Unarmed skill; for every additional hockey mask one wears on top of that one, Unarmed will increase by five more points. Given the right combination of hats, this glitch makes it possible to destroy even a super mutant behemoth in one hit.http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Operation:_Anchorage_bugs But UFC3 introduced another bug; CTDs when going inside the Broken Bow of Rivet City. presna posted a solution to that involving FO3Edit and manually changing certain entries: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/401813-unofficial-fallout-3-patch-broken-steelesp-rivet-city-area-ctd-fix/ That seems to have fixed the Rivet City related CTDs. So I have been playing the game for a few now, until I just noticed: THE MYSTERIOUS STRANGER HAS NOT APPEARED ONCE SINCE I INSTALLED UF3P!!!! You see, I decided to use the Chinese Stealth Armor, and the way to use it is to crouch and be stealthy (what with its stealth field and all that) and use V.A.T.S. as often as possible, then change position when the enemy comes looking for you, and use V.A.T.S. again then move position again...So yes, I have been really using V.A.T.S., but The Mysterious Stranger has not appeared once. He used to appear before I installed UF3P. Gosh Darnit! Edited October 1, 2012 by VGI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prensa Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 VGI - Hello! "THE MYSTERIOUS STRANGER HAS NOT APPEARED ONCE SINCE I INSTALLED UF3P!!!!" I'm pretty sure the UF3P doesn't even touch the Mysterious Stranger. I've used the perk both before & after having used the UF3P & it works fine with the UF3P. At least, as well as it does in vanilla. :) You occasionally hear music & don't see him, a listed issue at the Fallout wiki. It's meant to be a 10% chance of appearing in VATS but it seems to be much lower than that to me. Perhaps you've just had a run of missed visits? Either that or he's run off with Miss Fortune from New Vegas................. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Miss_Fortune Prensa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only mod I had installed before UF3P is Sensible Dismemberment. During then I would have some Mysterious Stranger visits. That's the "10%" it was talking about - some Mysterious Stranger visits. And no, I never had Mysterious Stranger's music play and not see him. I am aware of that bug though. When he does not appear, its like I never had the perk. That's my main complain. Unfortunately, I have done your manually applied FO3Edit fix to deal with the Rivet City area-triggered CTDs. I always had mine when entering the Broken Bow of Rivet City, and never the Jefferson Memorial or Rivet City itself. And yes, your manully applied FO3Edit fix did the trick. I say "unfortunately" because I have entered a point of no return. And I seem to now be dealing with this new "The Mysterious Stranger Not Appearing At All" bug. Heck I can't even confirm if its that or I just hadn't had the luck to see him since installed UF3P. Edited October 1, 2012 by VGI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VGI Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 UPDATE:Oh wait, there he is! The first time he appeared, a CTD happened. I was like, "CRUUUUUUUD!!!!" It was, I believe, he was trying to kill another target after killing the Mirelurk Hunter I was V.A.T.S-ing. I quickly restarted the game and went to the same place where the Mirelurks where, and starting V.A.T.S.-ing them again, he appeared faster this time, and there was only one Mirelurk, and he killed that, he didn't go for another target, and voila! No CTDs. Darnangit man! I hope this ends all of game-breaking things I need to do. Bethesda should really be doing all this. Heck why don't they take UF3P and other popular mods and make them proper DLCs and patches?!?! How hard could it be for them to do that? But of course, they want modders and such peeps to do their job for them for free. Such ugly policies that actually break the value-creation that any company tries to make.
