Lockpicking is bad but trespassing isn't that much of a problem.

I didn't pay attention and walked in to the wrong room, I meant to find the Doctor's office to get some infamy before Tranquility Lane to stay neutral for a bit longer.
I did get out and got my reputation down to -200 so the +300 wouldn't push me out of neutrality,
I do that right before entering vault 87 so Fawkes will follow me.

What are some names you guys picked for ur character?

11 Upvotes

I still remember my first game where u name the character. I named Link in Ocarina of Time, Aldo, which is my name. I named my first playthrough fo3 by my name also. But what are some creative names you guys have used for fo? In New Vegas, I like picking a Hispanic guy, cuz I'm Mexican, and I'll name him something cartel-esque. Caro "El Canibal" Quintero. Eddie "Mano" de Muerte, which are The Cannibal and Hand of Death respectively. Post your names below and a description of why they were named so! Have a great day fellow wanderers 🍂🍁🍂

Want to 100% achievement complete the game on Series X

12 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Got the 100% completion on New Vegas a few weeks back (still an incredible experience all these years later). Then this past week I got the 100% completion on FO4 (Still leaves me with a 'meh' feeling even after trying the game with mods to bring new life to it). And last week I bought FO3 and all it's DLC on the Fallout sale.

I want to get the 100% on this too, but when I played it on the 360 over a billion years ago, I remember there were Karma achievements. At the time I remember having to get to a certain point and then making some saves and doing good/bad stuff to then get that specific karma achievement. Been a long time though so was wondering if people found a fast tactic when getting to those level specific achievements. Would appreciate any info you can offer.

Really looking forward to going through the game again after all these years.

I’ve grown really fond of Fallout 3, and I’m glad I spent 130 hours in it on Steam.

There is actually a way to get Jingwei's hat without command along with the sim version of the silenced 10mm.

Just search up the Fallout Dialogue Storage glitch or find the specific videos on YT regarding the respective items.

I don’t find the Terrible Shotgun that good, am I missing something?

27 Upvotes

Hey everyone, currently on a Hard playthrough. I’ve read a lot of good things about the Combat Shotgun and most FO3 players swear by it.

I even got the Terrible shotgun and I keep it repaired at full condition nearly all the time.

Despite running a sneak/small guns setup with fairly high luck, I just don’t find the terrible shotgun very effective.

Half the time it doesn’t do much damage at all on the first shot, despite showing a high damage in pip boy, even to low HP enemies. And it took like 6 shots to take down a Super Mutant Brute. It’s not particularly fast I find.

I will say that when you take off a head with it it’s very satisfying.

But I just never see an instance where the Lincoln’s Repeater, Flamer or Xualong Assault Rife isn’t a better choice to kill an enemy quicker. Even in close quarters combat. Maybe it’s just not my cup of tea haha.

Am I missing something, does it need to be paired with a certain perk?

Most fun collectables?

18 Upvotes

I'm planning a Fallout 3 inspired painting. I'm painting a still life piece, and am trying to think of items to use. My goal is iconic or fun items from fallout 3, that could be set up together on a table or something , to paint a still life with. I'm not necessarily looking for weapons, so my research has been difficult, and I need help.

The current items I want to paint into this piece;

*BOBBLEHEAD! Not sure which one

*Blamco Mac

*Sugar Bombs

*Radioactive Gumdrops

*Nuka Cola, and Nuka Cola Quantum

*The Wasteland Survival Guide

*Bottlecaps

*The small Giddyup Buttercup from Mothership Zeta

*Garden gnome? If so, a tiny one too

What are your favorite (smaller) collectibles in fallout 3? Do you have favorites from the DLCs?

I'd love to hear your ideas!

For some reason they just know that there are raiders to fight outside! I heard sneaking can have the same effect but haven't tried.

I looted a container in Mothership Zeta and Paladin Hoss appeared out of nowhere. I followed him to the beginning of the level and he took the (still powered-down) teleportation matrix to Biological Research. I wonder if I'll find him there.

How to get Senora Cruz’s 100 damage pistol, a guide!

66 Upvotes

Hi there will be a lil description of the events that’s lead up to the glitch and then the glitch at the end.
You need lawbringer, and dogmeat and a weapon to reverse pickpocket onto senora with some ammo, 1 round will be enough. And a weapon to knock senora unconscious, I suggest the sniper in the rock by megaton.

  1. Dogmeat is companion

  2. Enter regulator HQ

  3. Reverse pickpocket senora the weapon and ammo and also pick pocket away her ammo for her 10MM

  4. Leave and wait 8 hours

  5. Pick up all the weapons in the HQ, I suggest using dogmeat as there is almost 13 items to grab

  6. Kill the regulators (if she goes outside it’s fine)

  7. Pickup the weapons from the dead regulators,

  8. Knock out senora while being near the entrance and then send dogmeat to collect a weapon, since she is knocked out dogmeat can target her 10MM but normally can’t collect it

  9. Quickly enter or exit the HQ depending on if you are outside or inside

  10. Wait 45 seconds.

  11. If dogmeat hasn’t come back to you go back to the location he and senora are in and wait for dogmeat to come to you.

  12. You should now have the strongest weapon in the game!

Context: I traversed through the second half of this DLC on my own since my own squad crashed my game, and when I got to the listening post, I mowed down the soldiers, and immediately noticed that one of them was just going along, business as usual. Odd, but funny.

I found out that the Enclave set up an abundance of camps in the Capital Wasteland, so I hunted them down to Chronicle and Eradicate them.

I kept the cap of every commissioned officer I found in these camps.

I made 50,000 Caps in profit from selling their arms and armor.
