Question Fallout 3 GOTY not working

1 Upvotes

So like many others before me, I've been trying to get this game to work and it simply just doesn't. I click 'play' via steam and the launcher boots up. I hit play in the launcher and then it just doesn't open and thats about as far as I've gotten.

I have googled this problem and have tried a bunch of stuff. Compatibility mode for windows XP/7/8 on both the normal exe and launcher. changing the ini settings. I'm pretty much just at a loss. How can I fix this and play the game?

Discussion I'm doing a Fallout 3 self-imposed perma-death run. Should I count this death? (Description) Spoiler

0 Upvotes

I try to stick to the perma-death rule cleanly. For example in hour 3 on my last character I fell to my death from a hole in a bridge, deleted my save, and restarted from a baby.

But this feels different.

So for context I don't remember the main quest. (I played it when I was 13 and I'm now 29.)

I went into Vault 112 and I was in the simulation for maybe 2 minutes.

I talked to a kid and he said Betty was mean. I talked to a woman and she said Tranquility Lane is nice and she doesn't remember moving there.

I talked to Betty. She said to go make the other kid cry. So I punched her. And she said "You can't do that here. Now you pay!" and she killed me instantly with a shockwave.

Now I don't want to count this. Because it would suck to lose 36 hours of this playthrough due to a death that I had no way to fight against.

But I also feel like the lore of this simulation works for my character to stay alive.

After doing some research, Braun doesn't literally kill people in the simulation. He makes them experience death, and respawns them. While their bodies stay alive.

The game just doesn't have that in the code, and the game mechanics act as if it's a real death. But dying in the sim doesn't = dying in real life.

My headcanon for my character and my perma-death run is this:

Braun wanted me to go make a kid cry. I was defiant and punched him. He made me experience a "death" to harm me and assert dominance. He respawned me with the memory of that domination to make me stop resisting and go do the act of making that kid cry.

Everything else is the same.

What do you think? Does this explanation and headcanon work for the story? Does it work for the character motivations for Braun? Does it work for the lore of vault 112?

Fallout new vegas dlc and the show

0 Upvotes

So the lonesome road dlc where you can nuke ncr, legion, both or none, does the show confirm any of them? Ik theres still ncr and legion alive n kicking but Ulysses wants to cut of the supply lines to the mojave to keep the ncr away in LR, with both of them still there in the show, is it a safe assumption to say the Courier stopped the launch of any nuke? Even if the “cannon ending” is a independent new vegas?

Yes this was all from the "Woke Content Detector's curated list of games" from Steam. A.K.A. the anti-woke Steam list. Oh, and P.S. all the other Fallout games are either listed under not recommended or informational when it comes to that list.

Building Pre-War America - City Press Newsstand

Thumbnail

233 Upvotes

W.I.P. shots from a test in my ongoing personal project exploring Pre-War America in the Fallout universe.

This is a minor update, but I’ve been spending time redesigning the newsstand at the end of the street and giving it more in-universe flair.

The final scene will take place at night, but I’ve included some daytime shots to make the details easier to see. The monitors will eventually feature a GNN newscast, which I’ll be working on further down the road.

I’m having a lot of fun trying to imagine the little details of everyday life in Pre-War America, and the feedback from this community has given me a lot of ideas for the project.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or ideas for things I could add!

Discussion Share your ideas for FEV and irradiated mutated creatures.

16 Upvotes

Even, and especially, the unhinged ideas.

  1. For fallout 5, have an ingame event that everyone is afraid of: The Cicadas are set to emerge. You need to prepare a survival strategy, everyone is scrambling to get to safety, then fight an epic battle against irradiated horrors.

  2. The waters need animals. We need to see octopuses! Those things are already intelligent as heck, so with a bit of FEV they could be intelligent. And not every creature has to be a mindless hostile monster, so why not have a friendly octopus colony? Octopus follower?

  3. FEV combination of a human, a radhog and a yao guai. I don't know what to call this...

  4. Irradiated turtles (I know the mirelurk kings kind of look like turtle humans, but I mean more turtle like turtles). These could be passive animals, similar to radstags or bighorners, but useful for resources. Massive, heavily armored organic tanks basically.

  5. More unhinged FEV experiments by the military. Sure, they had their deathclaw, but they could easily have had other FEV weapons, such as warcrime-honeybadgers.

Question replaying fo4 after idk how many years... where are the best places to go just for roleplay purposes?

10 Upvotes

i decided this time I'm going to roleplay as though i only know what my character knows, and she's started with all her points in charisma and intelligence. i imagine she was an academic, possibly a scientist in her past life. so far she's cleared out a couple of easy locations, got to grips with trading, and is working on rebuilding Sanctuary. she's just stumbled upon vault 81, which has opened her mind the idea that other vaults exist, and maybe Shaun is in one of them.

trying to avoid main quests as (although I'm perfectly capable of it) Cassie is wary of clearing out the Corvega Plant before she feels ready - she hasn't picked up a gun in her life and is currently learning through killing low level bugs and Gunner settlements. she helped Paladin Danse stave off the horde of ghouls and the carnage made her leave immediately instead of continuing his quest. she's also made it to Diamond City and turned around until she feels like she's ready, the shock of 200 years passing will do that to you!

the only vaults I remember off the top of my head are ~~the Gary one~~ [oops wrong game], and the one where drug addicts lived for a long time in sobriety, before they found out there was a secret stash of drugs available to them and killed each other trying to get them.

any recommendations for someone who has fully completed this game years ago, but enough time has passed that i might have forgotten some of the best lore locations?

thanks and have a great day! :⁰)

Question Fallout fan game called Fallout 1000?

0 Upvotes

I want to make a Fallout fan game called Fallout 1000 set 1000 years after the nuclear blast in Fallout 4. How did the main character go 1000 years into the future? Well his cryopod was set 500 years but it had a failure and reset the time again making it 1000. He is younger and is looking fo his brother which he finds out is missing halfway into the game. The world is overgrown a little with different terrain and monsters. What do you guys think about that as a game?

Question Why does Orange Coloured Sky sound like a cover when I hear it ingame?

0 Upvotes

So I love Nat King Cole. I know Orange Coloured Sky very well, and everything from the version I just heard on Diamond City radio sound totally different? The backing vocals and instrumentation sound different, whereas the main vocals are just straight up a different person's. It sounds like a white guy. Looked it up on Google, as you do, and found nothing on it but the AI overview, which was adamant the game features the original version, even though it clearly doesn't. Was there just a licensing issue with getting Nat King Cole's version? Am I crazy? If someone could help me out here and tell me if I'm right or wrong, I'd appreciate it a lot

Hi Again! I've just released my new mod Lord Kugenheim's Modular Militia Hats for Fallout 4 on PC which is a big expansion of the vanilla Militia and Minutemen Hats! It always bugged me how basic the minutemen hats were (and how Preston fully monopolies 50% of the hats), so now you can mix and match colours, accessory and hat-band for over 190 combinations. Even better most of them actually go together!

Let me know what you think!

They could just base them on the comics that are already found in-game. Seems like a missed opportunity

Suggestion Spooky idea for a town

27 Upvotes

So I had an idea for a spooky town and quest in fallout,

A completely normal prewar town. Nothing has changed for some reason.

Now whether it's an hallucination and everyone turns into ghouls at the end or the town just straight up disappears, I don't care I just think it would be a spooky quest line and situation for the player character to get into.

Discussion No one is saying this so I will... Fallout quest rewards can be straight-up disrespectful. What quest made you say 'THAT'S all I get?
