Fallout 3 add-ons

But as a DLC in general, it feels like a half-assed attempt at giving the Capital Wasteland a fresh coat of paint. I mean honestly, the Enclave should have cut their losses and found somewhere else to set up shop. I'm sure they would've been intrigued by the industrial empire that is the Pitt. Still, I'm planning to see it through so I can get some achievements, and also for the crazy fights. What were your experiences with Broken Steel? Does it have some substance or is it just so-so gameplay?

I recently played through F3 and Point Lookout again. I genuinely believe that F3 has some of the most innovative and ingenious quest design in gaming history and some of the best atmosphere that even the best horror and survival games can’t match. I was 5 when F3 was released, so obviously I wasn’t able to play it upon release and played it years later. Still whenever I play quest like Tenpenny Tower, Strictly Business, Tranquility Lane, The Velvet Curtain, The Dark Heart of Blackhall etc. I can’t find quests in other games that match the innovative design and atmosphere of these quests.I can’t begin to imagine how revolutionary these design choices were 2008. Hell modern day games don’t have quests that are have as creative as F3. Especially considering the previous isometric games, these quests were a big departure from its predecessors. Yet so innovative and fresh, even to this day. Even Bethesda have not been able to redo such creative quests. Skyrim had some, Especially Dark Brotherhood but F4 was pretty scant in terms of creative quests. I hope they are able to rediscover their talent for quest design because F3 is a master class in quest design.

Just my opinion, what do you think?

Dead Money = The Pitt. Honest Hearts = Point Lookout. Old World Blue = Mothership Zeta. Lonesome Road = Broken Steel. Courier Stash = Operation Anchorage.

Operation Anchorage

•Jingwei’s Shocksword

The Pitt

•Metal Blaster

•Infiltrator

•Perforator

Broken Steel

•Callahan’s Magnum

•Tesla Cannon

•Precision Gatling Laser

Point Lookout

•Backwater Rifle

•Ritual Knife

•The Dismemberer

•Double-Barrel Shotgun

Mothership Zeta

•Alien atomizer

•Alien Disintegrator

•Captain’s Sidearm

•Destabilizer

•Paulson’s Revolver

•Samurai Sword

For my it woul be like this:

1. The Pitt

2. Broken Steel

3. Point Lookout

4. Operation Anchorage

5. Mothership Zeta

Fallout 3

I did not factor Broken Steel nor GRA into any of this. If anyone has some they wish to point out or correct me on, feel free.

Operation Ancourage and Dead Money:

A lot of people hate this DLC. Have everything taken away during the main part of the DLC. New restrictions are placed on you in this new location. This new world is quite a site to behold. At the end you fight the main boss/talk him down and talk to the person whose been giving you orders this whole time. Also they both are Brotherhood related and has a Vault of goodies for you with some DLC only stuff.

The Pitt and Honest Hearts:

To get to the DLC you have to go north and meet up with someone contacting you via their radio call. He'll help you get to the location. This world is very different from the base game. The main leader of this new area was a major member of one of the main factions you can fight for in the base game. He has unique armor and a good voice actor. You have to make a major choice between two people and their wants and both have good and bad consequences. Good writing went into this DLC but it is sorta on the short side.

Point Lookout and Old World Blues:

To get to the DLC you must go to a south point on the map. This new region is dark and full of dangerous new enemies. Some of the most enjoyable humor and quests comes from this DLC. You end up at one point talking to a disembodied brain and surgery is done involving your brain. You can reunite with your brain near the end of the DLC. There is a twist on who the major villian/villians really are. There is a new player home for you to use.

Mothership Zeta and Lonesome Road

This DLC is hated by many. You have a character who unlocks things for you. The first person you meet in this DLC has previously worked for an evil faction. You see part of the world get destroyed by a large weapon. You can later destroy the part of the world if you choose to. The final quest has many waves of the main enemy of the DLC.

Some of these can be considered stretches and of course some depend on how you play. I've been curious about the similarities awhile, especially with the brains with the 3rd, vaults of the 1st and the 2nd being short. Point Lookout and Old World Blues are the most popular of the DLCs as well.

After Fallout 3 the Lone wanderer ( or Fawkes ) activates Project Purity. In Fallout 4 Deacon talks about how the Capitol Wasteland exports clean water. So that got me thinking, are there trees in Washington. It'd make sense. The clean water would enable trees and plants to grow in the area. Animals would also get smaller and less iradiated due to their water source being not irradiated. So that could mean the Capitol Wasteland could be a Capitol Paradise. Or is it still iradiated. Either way, the Republic of Dave is still the dominant force in the wasteland.

I want to know why.

So, I just purchased 3 and NV both GOTY on impulse after I saw the Steam discount. I got some money for my school report so I did this highly uncharacteristic thing that is spending 18€ at once.

The question is, how do you make them run on Windows 10 without frequent crashing?

I’ve got the 4GB patch installed if it helps (thanks to Oblivion) and it improved how some of my older games run, does it work? I don’t mind playing with a lot of stability-improving mods (Oblivion again).

I also found these pages and I was hoping if anyone could tell me if those fixes work:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/22370/discussions/0/541907675756259732/

I’m mostly talking about 3 for now as I’ll play it first.

Thank you for your help.

(Also, I got to retype three words in this because I’m too excited to type slowly.)

UPDATE: Sooo, yeah, I got Fallout 3 to work (kinda). It’s very much like Oblivion and after successfully downloading GFWLIVE through another modder’s files (because the official one had some error so rare that I didn’t bother reading anything on). Crashed two times in half an hour, then I edited the .ini file and the crashes (hopefully) stopped or at least will be less frequent. Wish me luck!

I've recenly went to get my ammo and decided to check up on ashur. And in one of his diolaug options he mentcions he was BoS and that the BoS picked clean thru Pittsburgh and Ashur realized how messed up that is and Abandoned the BoS to make the Pitt.

With the Pitt expiditions coming next year we have a chance of seeing Ashur as a child or maybe a young initiate. i know that fo76 and fo3 are hunderds of years apart but maybe whenever expoditions come to an end in a few years we may have a non cannon event or boss fight with ashur during our last expodition

In the ending of "Meeting of the minds" Desmond and Calvert will talk and talk repeting dialogue never stoping so i tried killing Calvert with shooting at the glass and it just cracks and he keeps on talking so i reloaded and killed Desmond Instead but then Calvert kept talking to him self. I can't initiate dialogue with ether of them and killing the potecttrons won't do anything

I've reloaded and quit out for a few days but nothing worked.

I play on PS3 and i know the wiki mentions the bug but no way to fix it

Can anyone help?
