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


Recommended Posts

To platinum it, so generally complete all the Main Missions, Side Quests (not including the smaller ones) and collecting all the Bobbleheads took around 52 hours for me.

Dave has already voted for himself. I convinced Rosie and Bob to stand as candidates themselves. Shawna and Jessica will always vote for Dave. When the last person voted, I approached Dave and asked him about the results. The moment Dave unlocks the ballot box, press the action key and remove the votes in his favor. The condition is that he should n't get a majority. Watch the impending drama.

Ah Right, I thought there might have been some sneaky way of doing it, lol.

Its a pity you can't put your own name in there, that would be amusing.

It looks significantly better, if your system can handle it. I traded my 360 copy in for the PC version. Plus it is so much easier to play with keyboard/mouse.

There is also the mods that are out for it too on PC which make it a lot better too. Just my tuppence worth :p

I gave up being nice and murdered everyone there. Got a nice 'custom' (re: differently named) Hunting Rifle out of it.

Actually if Fawkes accompany you to the Republic of Dave, the citizens will be hostile. To avoid that you should have a very high charisma. Regarding the superior hunting rifle of Dave, I would advise, go for the Lincoln's Repeater found in the Museum of History. It has a maximum damage of 50 when you have high small guns skill. It uses .44 magnum bullets instead of the regular .32 pellets and has a very high accuracy in V.A.T.S. Also it can be easily repaired with ordinary Hunting Rifles found in plenty among dead enemies.

Agreed that the .44 ammo is rare but I use the Lincoln's Repeater only to take out Deathclaws. Other enemies don't even deserve its ammo.Two straight headshots in V.A.T.S blows out a Deathclaw's head. On all other purposes I use the A3-21 Plasma Rifle which has a damage of 55 on 100 Energy Weapon skill and at maximum condition. It can be repaired by ordinary plasma rifles and uses Microfusion cells both of which are plenty throughout the Wasteland.

Precious .44 ammo, it's so rare.

I always found it pretty plentiful and later on in the game have at least 150 rounds at all times. I loved using Lincoln's Repeater so much that anytime I would go a store, I would always buy all their .44 rounds.

Yeah, my 2nd playthough on the game, I skipped going through downtown and went straight to Rivet City to get the A3-21 rifle. Never was lacking for ammo, and I think by the end of the game, I had around 850 rounds of ammo left.

Here are the weapons I am currently having:

A3-21 Plasma Rifle-Advanced Plasma Rifle obtained from Harkness

Lincoln's Repeater-Advanced Magnum Rifle obtained in Museum of History

Eugene- Advanced Minigun given by Reilly

Vengeance-Advanced Gatling Laser found in Deathclaw Sanctuary.

The Shocker- Advanced Power Fist found in Flooded Metro

The Kneecapper- Advanced Sawn off Shotgun obtained from Ronald in Girdershade. I exploded his pants. :laugh:

Alien Blaster- Found by the Alien Crash Site.

I am currently on the lookout for the following:

Blackhawk-Advanced Scoped Magnum obtained from Agatha.

Experimental MIRV- Fatman shooting off 8 nukes at once found in National Guard Depot.(Looking for Keller Transcripts)

Miss Launcher-Advanced Missile Launcher found in Fort Independence.

The Terrible Shotgun-Obtained from that Friendly Raider in Evergreen Bazaar.(I let him live)

Just completed the Operation Anchorage DLC (PC version).

Pretty boring. I was never looking forward to this DLC, but I got it anyway as I wanted something new to play. I completed it in about 1 hour 30 mins, 2 hours at max.

It just felt like Fallout 3 as a first person shooter. Health and ammo dispensers at every corner, took away what is fun about Fallout 3, which is exploring and picking stuff up off the people and creatures you've killed. (They just disappear in this DLC).

I feel like I just paid for some gamerpoints. :huh:

Sadly those are a little too drastic for me. I was hoping one out of that list would be the top texture mod etc. I really just want to push this game to its limits.

Not just that but a lot of the mods on that list are outdated.

    • I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
