Heart of the enemy is bugged (at least on PS4) and you can repeat it as many times as you want for 100 caps/8 script every time. Last I checked it bugged out scorchbeast bodies so you can collect dna from already dead scorchbeast corpses every time you start the daily over too.

I'm going to start Fallout 3, which I have never played before (but I loved Fallout 1 and 2 and am wrapping up new vegas which I LOVED so I'm not totally new to this series). I just had a quick question of what build I should start with/what I should pile points into for SPECIAL, etc. I always tend to go heavy on speech and such because I like the non-violent solutions and alt dialogue options if I can, but I don't know the Fallout 3 character development tree. Like what perks should I get first? What differences from New Vegas should I be prepared for?

I think I’m finally at a point in the game where I have almost every kind of weapon I want. Explosive .50 caliber, explosive tesla shotgun. Two explosive double barrels, one that’s a two shot and another that’s instigating. Now I just need to make the perfect melee weapon! https://youtu.be/nqdsdCPc1vA

Go for like 8 points in Intelligence, and straight to Rivet City as soon as you leave the vault to get the bobblehead, and you'll max out your SPECIAL by the level cap.

The point is that Intelligence is by far the best stat in Fallout 3, and your build must have it at either 9 or 10. The "Educated" perk is also extremely good, it amounts to an extra 75 skill points. Don't take any of the skill-increasing perks like "Little Leaguer", because you'll be able to get all the skills that matter to 100 anyway. Tagging Explosives and Repair will be extremely helpful for a couple early game quests.

Don't stress about getting a perfect melee weapon because unless they changed cursed weapons, the cursed pickaxe from the wendigo collosuss boss fight will be the best melee weapon in the game.

You know you're an addict, a gaming junkie when you have a week and a half to just chill at a beautiful summerhouse in great weather, can go fishing and do whatever uh.. outside activities people do in nature, but all you can think of is your next camp plan, character build and what guns you want/how annoying it's gonna be to roll everything just right and how much scrip/bullion you are losing not being able to log in! (weekly caps plox). Worst part is I don't even really have a valid gameplay/progress related reason to do it, I just want to see myself how much I can break the game. Anyway, here's my new phone wp.. I'll just stare at it wistfully.  ps. Hey Tenz, sorry I can't annoy you in steam for a bit by posting essays (I didn't really get that out of hand.. yet) while you just try to prob chill in Stardew.

I've only been playing this for the past few weeks and I just finished the wastelanders quest over the weekend. I amassed enough treasury notes to cap out Saturday and Sunday, but now I seem to not be getting any any more, is there only a chance to get notes from public events, not a guarantee? I did 4 or 5 events last night and 3 this morning and still have 0 notes to turn in at the gold machine. The daily caps seem way too low considering I have a stash full of legendaries waiting to for the scrip machine, and a full inventory as well. If I can't even get my 200 bullion per day because I am getting unluckly, and I can't pick up any more legendaries or scrap because I don't have room for them, then I'm losing my motivation to even log in. I prefer to the events to the daily quests because the dailies are the exact same drat thing every day with more loading screen time than gameplay.

Really I wish they would make other events and dailies give notes, even if just like 1 each for things like Enclave or BoS events. Kinda lame since sometimes you can get on a server that just doesn’t have public events spawning.

If you want events, install the chat mod from nexusmods (+SFE).. people are constantly asking players to join various better (scrip, high level, more fun) events like Radiation Rumble, Encryptid and Project Paradise, you just have to deal with the clunky Fo76 social interface, but the mod is fully configurable in appearance and function.. I can't check atm, but it might have friend invites built in now. It's also great for trading and occasional freebie resources or gear. necrofin fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Jun 16, 2020 |

It does have local server proximity chat as well as global trade-, clan chat and party chat (/help or /nhelp to configure ingame). https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout76/mods/151 It needs SFE to run just like the perk loadout manager mod. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout76/mods/287

I've switched from Unyielding/Bloodied to a PA Heavy Gunner / Vanguard full health build and I'm having a loving blast. Storming West-Tek and face tanking the mutants while you shred them with a .50 cal is great fun. Or just standing in front of the Queen, unloading into her face while she does gently caress all damage to you. I've done 10 SBQ fights so far and I died once because I forgot to keep an eye on my radiation levels.  Plus, the friggin fast travel bug does not seem to exist when you are not playing a bloodied build. 2 days and haven't had it once where usually I would have to try 2-3 times for it to work. Amazing coding there... Only thing I'm missing is the absurd carry weight in Unyielding at 10% health but eh, less hoarding.  And they've added Trading Cards on Steam. Switching builds every now and again really brings back the fun.

Yep, I run Excavator PA with all the carry mods, 425 cap.. only event where I could use more tank is Encryptid. SBQ is a joke from tanking perspective, so I am eventually gonna switch to Bloodied from Junkies for her only pmuch because I really would like to see the hp bar move even ever so slightly from my dmg input, so I don't have to feel like what I'm doing has no impact on the fight whatsoever. -_- Every normal mob I'm already one shotting or roasting in seconds without problems, including the other event bosses except maybe fakesquatch.. but at least my dmg input makes a difference on that fight (and stimpak spam keeps me alive np if I keep moving). I have semifunctional stealth fixer build as well, when I don't feel particularly stompy. They really did a number on PA usability didn't they? Even with half my points in weight reduction I would not be able go on looting spree anywhere in any other PA. Beth can shove those atoms only scrapping kits up where the nuke glow doesn't shine. necrofin fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Jun 16, 2020 |

Turn FO3 into a massive expansion instead! it sounds like a really neat mod, but I like my other mods in new vegas! And I modded up Fallout 3 already! Oh, here's a thing that I can't figure out, despite googlin' I have the weapon mod pack and FOSE, but I CAN'T figure out how to run FOSE with Vortex/NMM. I'm reading that there's something about looking for a section that said there's a thing that said "Launch Fallout 3" with a dropdown to select the primary option (FOSE, in this case). But I swear I can't find that whatsoever.

heh, so right after I posted that, I figured it out. OK. Anyway, for mods, I'm using the following: NMC Textures Upgrade Fellout Weapon Mods Kit EVE - Energy Visuals Enhanced MTUI DC Interiors It looks really good! But any other suggestions are welcome (including gameplay suggestions like best builds and such - I dumped almost everything into Intelligence - 9 - per this thread's suggestions). I just roamed over to the trike factory and got destroyed by ghouls. I'm pretty aimless right now, both in this game and in real life

I don't want your mother's ghost haunting me because her only child became a garbage burner. I still think about this post and laugh, so thank you. So I'm a few hours in to a modded fallout 3 and it's Lind of what I feared - as I tromp through the wastelands, I can start to see the small (and sometimes large) things that NV improved on, and by proxy the weaker elemts of fallout 3. That said, I still think it looks great-even better than NV at times - and I will kill and kill until I stand atop a pile of skulls, bloated with XP.

I think Fallout 3 has a better world to explore than New Vegas, while New Vegas has better writing and characters. NV's gameplay is better unless you want to use heavy weapons, which are practically useless. I enjoyed playing Fallout 3 without fast travel, but that's a miserable experience in New Vegas because there's so many "go to this city and talk to this guy" quests. Once I decided to use fast travel I enjoyed NV way more. I just wish I could run Fallout 3 on Windows 10 without crashes.

The top two things I remember about FO3 are precisely what you just said, plus the game ended at least one major POI before I expected it. Like the location where the game ended I kind of rushed through it because I thought there’d be another one after it and then the game just ended. It’s also the only FO I haven’t played through at least twice though I’m thinking about playing it again because I think it’s also the only FO I never played the DLC of.

DLC that extends the story pretty significantly. Broken Steel or something like that. It changes a lot of things about the world map only after you beat the original storyline of 3, things like clean water in most of the map, checkpoints for handing out that water, different factions move into different locations, etc. Plus the story continues until you drive out the Enclave I believe. It's probably been like a decade since I last played it. Yes, I'm spoiling something a decade old, someone's playing FO3 right now in this thread.

Good point about the DLC, the story ends in an abrupt and unsatisfying way without Broken Steel. I assume anyone playing it nowadays has all the DLC. And yeah, Washington was a bit chopped up because of consoles having less than a gig of RAM, same with the New Vegas Strip. I think there are fewer loading screens in Fallout 3 than in New Vegas.

That's how it felt, but I figure it may also have been the usual "Gambryo is rickety rear end" factor as well. It made exploration a right pain in the rear end though, there were spots on the map you'd think you could explore, but nope, no way to get there, and some you could get to, but involved figuring out the right identical looking subway exit to take and so you could never be sure if the spot didn't exist or was just horribly designed. Even if you planted a location marker it was entirely random what direction the compass indicator would direct you in while in the subway, and it rarely had anything to do with where you actually had to go. infernal machines fucked around with this message at 02:57 on Jun 20, 2020 |
