Re: Fallout 3 Review
I do side quests first, if I run into someone who says "Go find my father!" I will go find his father, then someone else comes up to me before the father is found and says "mutants are attacking my town" and I will go defend a town. By the time I get one quest done I have 2 more, and it builds from there. Once I finish the side quests I tackle the main quest, and I am at a high level and have awesome guns.

Re: Fallout 3 Review
I have had AA off since the start, I can run everything on max at 1680x1050 with AA off, if I want it on I have to lower some draw distances, which is actually what bothers me.
I wonder why AA is screwing up the game, and I wonder if you force AA with nvidia if that will make a difference.

Re: Fallout 3 Review
when you were crashing before did you notice some serious lag in VATS just before the crash?

Re: Fallout 3 Review
I found a plug in that moves the level cap up to 30 or 40 depending on which version you use. But there's a glitch where if your skills are all at 100% you can't complete the level up screen without a console command.
Personally, I think the bobbleheads should be the only thing in the game that lets you break the 10pt SPECIAL cap and the 100% skill cap. You find a bobblehead when your stat's at 10 and you get nothing for it. Grrr.
I've done probably 30+ side quests, made it to level 21, and have just now made it back to the Jefferson memorial to continue the main quest.

Re: Fallout 3 Review
I'm like level 8 now and I still cannot find Moriarity to get info about "my dad". WTF.

Re: Fallout 3 Review
That sucks. I skipped a couple steps by going directly to the Jefferson Memorial which should restore the quest. At level 8 though I might consider just restarting.
Re: Fallout 3 Review
Is that by the river? The quest map shows a bookmark by the river for that. I went there and found nothing.
I found the national guard armory. Full of robots! I'm gonna have to go back, there were several areas I couldn't access because my level was too low.

dont worry, if you want to keep good karma but cant do something without getting bad karma, you can offset it by donating to the churchFZ1 wrote:But I'm a good guy with positive Karma!

Re: Fallout 3 Review
Stealing and hacking a terminal that doesn't belong to you barely rates on the negative karma. Go ahead and do it all you want.

Re: Fallout 3 Review
Apparently, this is a bug in the game where Moriarity disappears. Here is the fix:
*EDIT* - I tried this an it worked perfectly.To summon Moriarty you have to do this: 1)Go to his bar 2)Go into console mode (press ~ ) 3)Write and confirm: prid 00003b3c (that is Moriarty's object ID) 4)now you have selected Moriarty and can move him to any item in the world, so you can put him right next to bar stool, so write down this: moveto 00003f61 5) He should be here and act normally

Re: Fallout 3 Review
I just beat the game. All I can say is the ending was anti-climactic. I expected a montage of all the towns I'd helped/hurt like Fallout 1 and 2, but instead it's just one refrence to my karma level.
