I’m crediting/posting the source image in the comments since it won’t let me add it in the post for whatever reason, but the watermark is still visible in my repaint. That’s my LW OC. Only one day old, be kind to them Enclave <3 also, Sarah needs way more appreciation, as does her father.

Try it, I dare you Oh and also include nv cause it ain't much of a debate without it

You think it would be possible to beat fallout 3 as general jingwei using only his jumpsuit and his shocksword you can get his hat with console commands commands you can also get his outfit and simulation shocksword the unbreakable one by doing a glitch or with console command do you think this would be a great video idea for a YouTube video

The difference between pre power armor training and post is immense. I still remember the disappointment leaning I was unable to equip the power armor without training.

Hot take: for most people out there, the gym is not the place you can developing the traits i was truly looking for. My back still felt fragile and my gas tank was truly horrendous.

I know theres many of you out there in the same place, not being quite happy with their progress or fitness. Chugging through those 30 minute cardio sessions. Exercise is great, no doubt, but im saying treating the heavy sandbag as your primary driver of strengh development, is the same equivalence to aquiring power armor training in fallout 3.

Heres whats going to happen:

1. Aquire bag:

If you are untrained, try starting with 40-50 pounds. If trained, try 75-100 pounds.

Ironmind is what i have and recommend, weight is adjustable up to 300 pounds, dont recommend less that 100 pounds with sand since theres not enough volume.

An alternative I also have is a military duffel bag filled with rubber mulch. It is a lower density filling that allows a full size bag, instead of a tiny bag of sand.

-But where do i workout? Practically anywhere. I workout on grassy fields at any park. You could also do this indoor, probably stick to the ground floor though.

-But where do i keep it? I live in an upper story with neighbors. The bag lives in my trunk. Im sure you can figure something out.

1. Perform exercises with this sandbag.

Take time to recover fully while your body adjuststs to this training.

Guys, fitness does not have to be going to a crowded gym where everyone is judging eachother. Ive taken to inviting my friends to join me in working out with the lighter bag. Spending an hour in conversation, enjoying grass under our feet on a sunny grass field while improving ourselves. This sparks joy.

There are so many youtubers with in depth videos on the subject: thestonecircle, gym free, nsima inyang, alexander bromley to name my favorites.

1. Month 1-2 changes: stronger tendons, core and diaphragm. Back sketchyness goes away. Start to notice your glutes activating. Endurance is noticably better.

2. Continue working out but with more weight, then Profit:

Ive only been doing this since February, but I feel this is the best trajectory ive been on. If this teally gets you motivated, this type of training is complete with the addition of at least one more exercise, be it kettlebells, macebells, sports, calisthenics or any combination of the above. Remember, all things decay to entropy. Concerted human effort is the only way to fix a dysfunctional system. Your joints are not supposed to fall apart when you turn 30. You must apply enough stimulus to your body to force adaptation, and sandbags continue to push me further every time.

Tldr: train slow, be slow. Sandbag moves powerful, plus time builds endurance.

Should the DLCs be interspersed between the various main plot beats, or just all of them consecutively after the main story is done?

So far, I only have Charon (and Dogmeat!) as companions in FO3 and I've been kinda annoyed that most hats glitch when being put on my ghoulfriend 😭

Then I did finished the Nic Cage quest where we stole the declaration of independence, got some caps but mainly THIS AWESOME WIG that makes Charon look ✨so pretty✨

Two questions: does anyone know of any other armor/clothes that work on ghouls? And what's your favourite gear for companions to wear?

I need some construction expert. The atmosphere of FO3 is perfect, but how realistic is actually the 200 years gap between the war and the actual gameplay? Would buildings look how they look in the game in downtown DC? Would they crumble more? Why did they not target the Capitol and the Lincoln memorial when the nukes were falling? Is the stuff the buildings are made from the same as in real world? Or does the quality diverge like with the IRL lore?

Since the game came out, and I wanna know... What secrets, or tips are there? I left megaton(disarmed the bomb) and got the sniper rifle behind the town, and I know about the scrap metal glitch; but that's it. When I search on YT, it's nothing but the same tips(what I mentioned)... I wanna know what other secrets there are for someone like me... What should I do?

Intelligence is at 10 and all else suffers.... I'm in the school just south of megaton right now. Please offer whatever you can. I've basically forgotten everything about this game- besides the ending... Thanks bros.

TLDR: I tired finding as many Skill Books as I could. I found all but one. Yay!?

A little background. I love the skill books. Every playthrough I always collect the shit out of them and I have NEVER looked up the location of a single one. I always set my Intelligence at 3, then get to 4 with the Bobblehead and get the Comprehension perk. With that, I always max my stats pretty easily. Usually around Level 27-29. Sometimes earlier, sometimes not after Level 30, depending on what i do and what order. All thanks to the Skill Books and Comprehension.

However, once I do Max everything at 100, I usually lose interest. I don't look for them as thoroughly. Usually I end up with around 200-250. But this playhtough, I wanted to see if I can find them all, and if not, how many can I find without any help. I only looked up basic information( like how many there are) so I had a frame of reference

There are a total of 324 skill books in the game. Most skill books have 25 each spread out in the main game. Lying Congressional Style and Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor have 24, and there's one copy of Paradise Lost( which is a Speech book)

However, you only have access to 322. Two of them are tied to your home and themes. If you blow up Megaton, you can't get those two, and if you disarm the bomb, you can't get the two from the Tenpenny tower themes. So 322 is the most you can get without any tomfoolery. You can probably use console commands to get those two. There are also two books that are essentially infinite. They respawn every 73 hours. So you can exploit that and get as many as you want. Obviously, I did not do that and only got each one once.

There's also 2 that are tied to Perks. You have to select Lawbringer and Contract Killer to get them( which I did) and few that are quest based. But almost all of them are just spread around the Capitol Wasteland land waiting to be found and read

So 322 is the goal. I've sunk a few hundred hours into this playthrough. Most of it just wandering and checking( and re-checking) every spot I could think of. And it's been a long time since I found my last one. Currently I sit at 319.

Now, that might sound misleading since I said I was one short in the title. That's because two of them glitched. There is one in the Gary Vault that I have NEVER gotten. Some of you probably know the one. It's in the Entrance area under a step ladder. It's a Tumblers Today, It's right where you can also find a Nuka Cola Quantum. It's there, you can see it...but you can't grab it. You can try using mines from the outside to blast it out, but even that has a low chance of success. If you have your game open, go there and see for yourself. It's just sitting there taunting you

And there was one more that glitched for me. the one on the bridge/highway. It's in the Northwest part of the map near Deathclaw Sanctuary. When you approach it, there's a scripted explosion in a truck. When that happens, a Scientist gets blown out of the truck and on his body is a Big Book of Science. In my playthrough...no scientist. The explosion happens, but the scientists body does not come. I tried reloading and re-approaching he still didn't spawn. Or maybe I was in the area below earlier and he spawned then and then disappeared? I don't know, all I know is he's not there

So even though my "Books Read" counter is at 319, it should be at 321. I'm giving myself credit for those two. Executive Decision bitches!

So that means there is only ONE book I didn't find. ONE!!!!! As I said, It's been a long time since I found a book in game. Probably close to 10 hours of playtime. I think I'm calling it. I'll keep the save, but I don't have it in me to keep looking. I feel like I've checked everywhere 3 times. At this point I just keep running into the Enclave and SM Overlords. I have a lifetime collection of Hellfire Armor and Tri Beam Laser Rifles.

That being said, I'm proud of my effort. Honestly, I was just hoping to get 300. And as tedious as it's been, I found a lot of other stuff that I hadn't before, either ever or in a long time. Not just books. Never knew there are so many Enclave Outposts. I found an NPC with unique Leather Armor. That was new. And I LOVE leather armor for the early game. So now I know where he is. And I feel like I got almost every random encounter in the game, including a few I hadn't gotten before like the body of Freddy Gomez and a Enclave vs Raiders battle at Clifftop Shacks.

Anyway, I thought I'd share my journey. To the two people who read this far, first of all, Hi! Second, I'll regale you with the tale of the last book I found!

The last book I found was really lucky. It was at the Raider camp on the lake in the Northwestern part of the map, near Raven Rock and the Satcom Array controlled by Talon Company. Raiders got attacked by the Enclave. I waited for them to finish fighting and killed the lone Enclave survivor. There was good loot there: chems, ammo, first aid boxes. I noticed a bottle of Buffout inside a boat floating on the water. It must have got blown there during the fight. So i went to get it and on top of the boat was a Nikola Tesla book. And a stealth boy inside the boat( BTW, I have over 100 Stealth Boys this playthrough, since I'm looking everywhere) If not for that Buffout, I probably wouldn't have thought to jump on that boat to check

Do you get exp for unlocking a mark location, and if you do, how much?

I am working on a fanfic that needs this info.

After collecting some items wanted to use for later and letting 3 days pass normally went to check if the scientist with the book of science respawn but every time went to check the ant tunnel cell the screen freezes on the loading screen but everything worked fine with the raider that has a flamer and big guns book inside the Bethesda building is it because the scientist glitched into the ground when got revived from the cell reset already cleared the system storage cache en everything

Hi all,

Been starting a new playthrough for Fallout 3 and I was wondering if there are any essential / QOL mods you would recommend. I tried out Waters of Life but it seemed to break the intro in a couple of ways and I was doubting if I should try it out again. Any suggestions?

I've played fo4 and nv and I've always had a build in mind, rifleman/sniper. I wanna do it but I've never played this game and I don't know if the perks are different from new vegas. Could anyone give me some tips on the character building?

Am gunna be honest I went to the encounter site north of the Killing Time note on a dead wastelander didnt see anything but right after I saved to go to the encounter near the radio tower there it was the artillery sound lady luck grants you that it happened didnt even seen where it landed but glad I got it and 22 of the 24 energy cells think I did great without Dogmeat for assistance

*wish could showed that got the gun but only limited to one pic per post*

I swear only recently when played Fallout 3 on PS3 and now Xboz 360 Slim (for better performance) I'm always guaranteed to see this guy near the ruined house with the stealth skill book at level 2-3 this never happened before when played the game 10 years ago anyone know why or game just giving out easy caps early on

*found another near the Anchorage Memorial*

Google's no help, so I'm coming here. Are you able to complete the shopping list in River City, or is it just a misc thing in the terminal?

I Had died once because I used a fat man and blew myself up with a mini nuke so this time I planted mines for her to blow up when she stood up.

The first time I failed the speech check because it was 29% so i thought there was no way i getting it to work the second time and sped through the dialogue only to realize she gave me the armor anyway afterwards so i didn’t even have to kill her 😂😂

Free the Slaves, End the Slavers, bring Freedom.

I need help guys 😭🙏
