[Official] Fallout 3 - DLC for 360/PC released!


Recommended Posts

The fireants plotline seems pretty unbalanced, I'm wasting massive amounts of ammo for little return.. even with my most powerful assault rifle the ants take 5-6 headshots to die.

Edit: The heads falling off is so poorly done that I'm surprised anyone finds it cool.. I mean, I just shot a guy into his leg and his head falls of like it's been severed by a surgical instrument? WTF?

For PS3 Users:

Does your game freeze when "xxx is online" notifications appear?

Use shotgun instead - you can get one from raider in Super Duper Mart. Grenades are quite effective also

I like the V.A.T.S effect though (regardless of anatomical accuracy of body parts coming loose :p) especially when you see the bullet whizzing through the air in slo-mo.

did not get a shotgun .... :( WTF i want my SHOTGUN !

Nah, mirelurks are only tough if you don't know where to hit 'em ;)

You get them from the guys who turn up after you've raided the pharmacy at the rear of the Mart.

I know where to hit them, but they're still annoying, face :p

I didn't like the game, ugly hud, annoying characters, boring beginning bit which you can't skip, annoying enemies. graphical glitches, fps stutters, awful combat system, horrible controls. etc etc

Having much more fun with FC2 & QoS.

Yeah me either, I got it in the sewers.

Finally getting some better weapons :)

I've got a question for anyone who knows.. In the beginning of the game you can upgrade your strength, agility, luck etc but I'm lvl 5 or 6 right now and I've never been given an option to futher upgrade those. Is that set for the rest of the game? Or do you have to be a certain lvl to upgrade them again? Or am I missing the boat completely? :| Thanks

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
