Fallout3 is still extremely fun to play. Finished the Pitt (finding the damn 100 ingots was a pain in the royal arse), half way through Anchorage, and next is Broken Steel. Can't wait to play the next DLCs! Have yet to play it on Win 7 RC tho.

Should I finish the main quest line before I download Broken Steel? So I can get the most out of the game playing both original and DLC ending?

Don't play the final quest "Take it Back" unless you download Broken Steel. This is because the DLC modifies the game files to change the game's ending and also replaces .bik video files. There might be a possibility that your save game might get corrupted if you download the DLC after completing the game.

Okay, just cos I'm not finished the main storyline yet, have gone off it and not gotten back in. So I won't be purchasing the BS DLC for a while.

Which is the quest before Take it Back, just so I don't start the quest without knowing it!

Ack, I've just let Roy Phillips and his bunch of bunch of ghouls into Tenpenny Tower - however, I had saved a load of stuff in my room. I take it theres no way I can get back in there, without going back a save is there? I've killed all the ghouls I can find in Tenpenny Tower - but it's still not letting me in.

I want my Precision Gattling Laser back :(

Why don't you use the Vengeance from the Deathclaw Sanctuary? It has a damage of 176 as compared to the Precision's 132 provided you have Energy Weapons skill maxed out. The best Gatling Laser in the entire game undoubtedly is the Vengeance.

Yeah you can access them any time, except for the Broken Steel one, which is a direct continuation of the end of the game, so for that you need to complete game at least. But for all the others you just get a new radio station that gives you directions to the new areas/quests.

If I get one of these expansions, can I access them anytime or do I have to start a new character?

the pit and operation anchorage can be done at any time if you havent completed the game ( just go back to an earlier save if you have completed it) , broken steele happens is only avaible after you complete the game

I've never even heard of that to be honest.

I'm not going to bother trying to get it though, as I'm sick of finding Deathclaws everywhere and using all my ammo on them. Only for them to have a crippled leg and leave me dead. Again.

Unless they're Enclave Deathclaws, however..

Explore my friend.Do it as much as you can in this game. With Fawkes, I don't see any difficulty in encountering Deathclaws. If you are annoyed by Deathclaws, what about the Albino Radscorpions introduced in Broken Steel which are thrice as powerful as normal Deathclaws? The Vengeance is the most powerful Energy Weapon in the game and with so abundant EC Pack in the game, you will rarely run out of ammo.Also don't forget to collect the Endurance Bobblehead in the Deathclaw Sanctuary.

Happy hunting in Fallout 3 brother :) .

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.

      The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
