Fallout 3 + "Live"


Recommended Posts

I bought Fallout 3 when it was released but never really paid attention to it saying it has Live capabilities. Now is this the same Live that is Xbox Live or something else? As in, could I link my xbox live gamertag to my PC version of Fallout 3 and still get achievements on my gamertag? If not, then what is this other "Live"?

Yes you can use your existing live account and you CAN get achievement points. Even if you have played the game on the xbox360. It will say Fallout 3 PC for this one. Same goes for the following:

Fallout 3

Shadowrun

Quantum of Solice

Gears of War

Might be otheres but that is all i can think of at this point

They're one and the same. Just sign in with your current info. Note that you'll have to start a new game with your Live account if you want the achievements you've previously earned to count.

Yes, you can link them. I ended up getting it for the PC as well and I was able to link it to my gamertag. You still get the achievements, it uses the same gamertag. :)

One irritating thing: Needing to re-enter the CD Key on each clean install. Why can't they just link it to your Gamertag so when you re-install and sign in with your gamertag your retail copy is recognized?
