Ahh, seems like you both ruined and saved the day Sergei - all in one day.. :yeah:

I think I will take Eugene for a walk now.. :D

A happy ending. That's good. :DL
I was beginning to feel really bad, thought your whole game and all your progress was lost forever.
Glad it all worked out in the end :up:

So, has anyone tried the animated prostitution mod? (SHUT UP) Does it work ok? I wouldn't mind getting some extra caps for pimping my companions. :hmmm:

Oberon 03-01-10 08:36 AM

I heard it can be a spot glitchy in the animations. :hmmm:

:haha:

WTH Dowly? :har: Be a slaver pimp!

Dowly 03-01-10 05:03 PM

Well... my pimping career didn't start too well. My character, BigTittieSlut, decided to save Megatron and in process hire Nova as her first hooker. Then she got bored as she didn't seem to get any caps no matter how kinky she got and went on rampage and killed everyone there. Unfortunately, Nova the Hooker got killed in the following firefight. :cry:

Now, with no hookers to work for her and only crabs to show from the work she did herself, she is wandering the wasteland looking for moar hookers.

*sigh* It isn't easy to be a pimp in a post-apocalyptic world... :nope:

Is it easy to add and remove mods from this game?

It was for me at first on PC, but then I upgraded my GPU and RAM, in that order.

The GPU upgrade didn't do much, but the RAM upgrade helped a great deal across the board. From that assessment, I can make the conclusion that Fallout 3 is a very RAM-heavy game.

I have Fallout 3 on both XBOX 360 and PC, (bought in that order) but the PC version is superior (as always), as the graphical quality is vastly better, and the ability to download user-made mods is a plus. Pretty much the same with any multi-platform video game.

DLC, yes. User-made mods, yes and no. Fallout 3 wasn't really designed with user-made mods in mind, so it can take a while going through program folders and files to do so. Not to say that it isn't impossible, because it isn't. I am currently playing the game with several mods, with no problem at all.

Got F3 Game of the Year Edition yesterday - game and 5 addons and patch 1.703 - for 9.99, new&sealed. I think they stamped a wrong pricetag onto it, the other four copies they had in the store all costed 29.99.

Big post-christmas smile on my face. :D

Had many crashes initially, but today updated my graphis driver (from 176.xx to 260.xx :) ) Now it runs like a charm on my old rig, as smooth as Oblivion does.

Much gaming world for very few bucks. Great deal!

Takeda Shingen 12-28-10 10:24 AM

Enjoy, Sky! F3 is pure awesome. :up:

Skybird 12-28-10 02:31 PM

Well, the gameworld may be awesome, but the technical implementation is not. I am not suffering CTDs due to rendering issues anymore since I updated the gfx driver, but I still enjoy many CTDs, mostly when opening doors or boxes. This is easily the most unstable game I played since many, many years. While my CPU exceeds just the minimum specs (P4 2.4 demanded, P4 3.0 I have), RAM (having 2GB) and GFX (having nVidia 7950, 512 MB) are clearly at or beyond the recommended specs.

For 10 bucks it may be considered fine - but I am happy that I did not spend more money on it.

Skybird 01-03-11 06:59 PM

I managed to drastically reduce the CTDs (whjich locked my system and forced a system reboot). After a lot of research via Google, I tried what occassionally, rarely, was mentioned, that is that deinstalling Live! solved issues for some people. So I did, and found that the game did not start anymore. I reinstalled Live!, but now using a download (not the game DVD)for Live! which maybe is a better, later version. Since then, the number of CTDs has drastically fallen. The game still crashes occasionally, out of the blue, but not often, and certrainly not as often anymore as that the frequency of crashes made it a show-stoipper (which before it was). Also, the system must not be rebooted anymore when a crash occured.

This way now, the game is playable and enjoyable (but still not the benchmark of stability). I like the game, though I liked Oblivion better due to the romantic forests, it's special charm and lovely music, and the more diverse light and weather effects. But taken for itself, and regarding the "Omega-man atmosphere, it is a very impressive game indeed.

I pass on any mods, due to the stability issues. I do not want to put the current way it is at risk, making things worse again.

I absolutely loved FO3. You get a good feeling of what a post Apocalyptic world might be like. I now have FO New Vegas. I'm enjoying this one as well.

Glad that you got it working. No, you won't see the beauty and charm of Cyrodiil in the Capital Wasteland. F3's landscapes range from the disquieting wastes, to the nightmare interior of shacks and tunnels, and to, in the case of the Pitt, hell on Earth. The atmosphere is one of desperation, and Bethesda did a great job of giving the impression that people are a meal away from starvation. For me, F3 is just so much more evocative than Oblivion; the latter being spectacular in it's own right, but somewhat bland by comparison.

This is true however there is one spot on the map that is a garden of bliss. Just need to find it. :03:
