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


Recommended Posts

wow, i ran all the way south, to the edge of the map, and found a mutated grizzly. Didnt get to fight him though, went to take a screenshot and hit the quickload key instead :( !!!! I found the best explosion point ever though. Its a look out at the far south point in the middle of the map. I launched a fatman missle into the middle and had about 15 cars explode at once with about 7 scavengers in the middle.

I heard the level cap is at 20 on this. I feel like im not that far into the store, and am already half way to the max. Hope the game keeps interesting without the little bonus of lvling and new perks.

Im also very pleased with how this game runs. The computer I use for gaming is ancient. built back in like 02. Athlon xp 2400, 2 gigs of 400mhz ddr1, and using a 7800gt agp nvidia card. This game looks great and is very very playable for the most part. I will dip to around 7 or 8 fps during really heavy fights , like when there is more than 20 people shooting each other, which is impressive. Even the huge explosion didnt lag anything up as bad as most games would cause. They did a great job on making this game run on older systems and still keeping it pretty.

Crap I didn't know there was a level cap!

Does anybody have any answers for my questions above?

i dont believe you can bind the weapons, but i havent really looked into it. I just run around with a pistol out and then when i see a group, decide what to use then.

On a side note, dont kill the doctors!!! I have become addicted to all the medicines in the game, and it told me to find a doctor to cure them. Too bad ive killed everyone basically I have met, and now cant cure my addictions. Ive been wandering all over the map trying to find a new doctor. Anyone know of a city or town that has one? lol.

ya, on this, anyone is fair game. i like it. I wanted to take the evilest path possible. Its very item rewarding, but now the game is extremely difficult when you cant find the people you need for certain things. Wish there was an option when talking to randoms for, where is the local doctor/store/whatever general needed place.

This game would translate much better into an MMO. I really hope that one is already in the works.

Yes but not by bethesda. Interplay owns the rights to the mmo as long as it is out by dec 31 2011 Im guess. Might be a different date in the year as that is all they have said. If its not out by then Bethesda gets the mmo rights. Though atm they are already underway on ES:5.

when you get to the brotherhood of steal catherdral alter in the game you can ask to get trained.

Well I got to the catherdral and they won't let me in. So I have to seek someone out on my own or will that happen during the main story? I don't need to know where it is if its a side quest, just need to know if I need to spend some extra time looking for it.

Guys can you do anything with the scrap metal? I swore somebody told me I could but I can't remember who.

Speak to the old black dude who hangs out at the Water Processing Plant - he'll tell you about water leaks etc. When that quest is added, just go around Megaton finding the three leaking pipes and fix them (just use the action button on them) then when you speak to him again he will start paying 10 caps per scrap metal - that's 20x as much as you'd get from traders etc

there is a part later in the main story where you have someone with you who can get you in.

I knew it! Thanks

The game has crashed on me twice now. Is this happening to anyone else? I'm playing the Steam version of the game on PC.

I have had a couple of crashes but most of them seem to happen when I am loading a file initially. Only one crash in game so far.

ive had only 1 crash so far, after saving the people from from bigtown that were in german town. When i quick traveled back to bigtown, the screen went all black, but I could see my pip boy text. Kept happening unless when i quick traveled there, i had to duck and look at the ground instantly, and it fixed it lol.

Where is the brotherhood alter? I have soo many different locations on my map already, like 30. Just been running around aimlessly for a good couple of hours, finding locations for quick travel later.

Oh ya, finally got a doctor! only took about 5 hours of extra play, but rescured one from german town. Sucked though, because when i got her back to bigtown, i killed her with a mininuke protecting them from super mutants, so I had to load back to an earlier save and redue it all. For now, she is the only doctor left in my world, and I cant help but keep getting addicted to pyscho and medx lol.

Has anyone reach Tenpenny Tower and killed everyone in there yet? I have my own penthouse there, but have been thinking I could just wipe them all out and keep the tower for myself. If you have done it, how easy was the take over?

I beat it already ll I have a horrible habit if flying through the main quest when I first play games like this because I get into the story.

I normally do that, but this time around I made sure I told myself to do everything else first.

I don't think you've played the originals tbh.

Those were the real gems.

I'm about to get this game, but I'm having second thoughts.

I enjoyed Morrowind, played it for 2 years. Got tired of it. Can't bear to look at it, as great as it was.

Oblivion was a bit of a letdown. Nowhere near Morrowind's unique charm. But the AI was better. Voice acting sucked, though. Maybe I've played Bethesda's games a bit too much.

I miss the old Fallout series. Still have them, though.

I'm a fallout fanatic. I've been playing the 2nd one still until this finally came out. This was not a let down at all. Still hard, still fun, still original. The world is just amazingly huge, and your actions do affect a lot. I just found out theres a bounty for my head and now everyone is hunting for me. Making it very hard to find Rivet City. Maybe i'm just missng the easy path, but its taking forever, and a city full of super mutants makes holding onto ammo and meds impossible.

I need some help.

down my own stupidity I decided to speed things up by cheating. At first I only added extra caps to buy meds but after a while I boosted my skills up. I ended up having all skills on 100 even thought I was level 4. The problem is, when I level up it asks me to use up points but I have maxed out. So I'm stuck on the screen. My second option was to level up my char to 30 but again that backfired as the game doesnt like it when you cheat, it crashes alot. But it ran ok, but then I made another mistake. Decided to spawn all the top weapons. Problem is now my only savegame wont even load without crashing to desktop.

So heres my question, can anyone upload their savegame up to the point where you have to head over to Rivet city, after you fix the radio station signal?

I would really appreciate this, since the thought of doing it all again does no appeal to me.

I am aware that cheaters never prosper. So this time around there wont be any cheating from me. Ironic thing is, just as I really started to enjoy the game by not cheating, the previous cheats I did corrupted my savegame.

    • I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.
    • The funny thing here is that like 70% or so of the web browser users use 'Google Chrome' as web browser. What I don't understand is that why on earth would ANYONE choose 'Google Chrome' on Windows when 'Microsoft Edge' is not just better in most things, but it's already there right out of the box for the Windows users. Microsoft Edge has less data collection (yes, that's a fact), less RAM usage and is more optimized for Windows (as it's a Microsoft product) right out of the box. I'm sure you will come with the argument of bloat in Microsoft Edge. Sure, but most of that can be fixed with a simple tool (there are many good ones out there for this). Yes, that require a couple of clicks in the same way as it requires several clicks to install 'Google Chrome'. And I'm sure you really love the 4 GB of AI-slop data 'Google Chrome' is downloading for Chrome without you agreeing to it. Fun right? Sure, the way Microsoft is pushing 'Microsoft Edge' on users might not be the best way of doing it and might need to change. But I would never choose 'Google Chrome' over 'Microsoft Edge' today anyways. I'm sure there was a period back in the days when 'Google Chrome' actually was better in most things, but that period is not today.
    • JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more by David Uzondu Image via JetBrains IntelliJ 2026.1.3 from JetBrains has landed, bringing several highly requested bug fixes that target common UI glitches and terminal rendering issues. If you run tmux inside the integrated terminal, the IDE no longer renders the cursor above the active line. The Markdown preview bug, which was fixed in this release, had annoyed developers for quite some time, as the preview pane failed to render images saved outside the project directory. Instead of displaying the actual image, the IDE simply showed a broken image icon, a problem that stuck around for two years before this update. Over on Windows, developers running WSL can now use wsl.exe to spin up their environments without losing terminal functionality. In previous builds, launching a terminal shell with something like wsl.exe -d ubuntu inside a Windows-based project broke both shell integration and active process detection. Other bug fixes in this release include: An issue where Gradle sync incorrectly reported success as a failure on WSL when using Gradle 9.5.0. A syntax highlighting bug that flagged valid Java for-loop initialization blocks with multiple statements as incorrect. A warning bug that triggered a false non-null local variable alert when using JSpecify annotations. A database generation bug that hid the option to use a DELETE statement instead of a TRUNCATE checkbox. A Kotlin highlighting failure where an assertion error in the Gradle redundant library inspection broke error highlighting. A UI bug where the ComboBox popup lacked a maximum height restriction. A Snowflake syntax error where DataGrip failed to support the "create temp" command. A Svelte syntax parsing failure that incorrectly flagged quotes inside inline expressions. A VCS repository manager deadlock that triggered thread pool exhaustion. A memory leak where the LazyTree component kept all previous versions of a tree in memory. IntelliJ 2026.1.3 is the third bug fix release for the IntelliJ 2026.1 series. The first one landed back in April with a fix for the WSL Python interpreter freeze, another fix for guest participants using Emmet abbreviations, and corrected WildFly server deployment errors.
