Broken Steel won't start

Recommended Posts

So I thought I'd play Fallout 3 again, this time with all the DLCs, but I really don't want to have to do the MQ one more time. I downloaded a few saves at the very end of the MQ, thinking that'd solve it, but for some reason or other Broken Steel doesn't start. I get the end sequence and monologue and then nothing - just the credits and the offer to start again or load a save.

 

Does anyone have a clue as to how I can sort this out? Or alternatively, does anyone have a save from the very beginning of Broken Steel that they'd be willing to email me? I'd be very grateful indeed for either one!

If you're trying to load a save from inside the purifier. Broken Steel probably won't start. You need to load from before entering the rotunda, preferably from before entering the building period.

You could try using the custom race override mod and see if that works. Sometimes it helps vanilla races that are stuck there.

the character is vanilla

Try the Custom Race Endings Broken Steel OverRide mod M48A5 linked to anyway.

 

There are many who only use a vanilla race, but still can't get Broken Steel to start without that mod. Including myself.

Thanks, that's very helpful to know! The saves I've tried has indeed been from inside the rotunda, so I'll see if I can rustle up a different one from sometime further back. I believe I did in fact see one or two....

Thanks mate, I'll try that first, in just a little while. I'll report back with a result when I know.

Well, I found a save which starts in the citadel courtyard, at the very beginning of "Take it Back", but sadly that didn't work either. Neither, unfortunately, did CREBSO, so I guess I'm bound for yet another complete play-through....

 

Thanks for the suggestions though guys, I appreciate the effort to help me out!
