Fallout series

Anybody got any tips about playing Fallout 3 for the first time? Like major bugs to avoid, shit perks that don't work etc...
Repair, small guns, sneak as your tag skills will probably serve you best. Speech and charisma aren't totally useless but not really worth heavily investing in if you don't mind blasting everything that doesn't cooperate with you.

Xbox Wants The Next Fallout Game To Come Sooner, It’s Claimed​

Makes sense. Bethesda said Fallout 5 will enter development after Elder Scrolls 6 and they're still working on fucking Slopfield.
Now, it has been claimed that Xbox is hyper-aware of the anticipation for the next Fallout game and is eager to explore opportunities to make that arrive sooner rather than later.
I think this means they'll outsource to other studios. I wonder who will get the job.

The smartest choice (the thing Xbox won't do) would be to outsource to a Japanese studio that's done decent action RPG's in the past. Having someone like Squeenix or Platinum make Fallout would be pretty cool.

I guess it depends on if they make another RPG game or if they go a different route, god knows Microsoft doesn't have a shortage of studios under their umbrella. In a recent interview Todd hinted at there being 2 new Fallout Projects in the pipeline, excluding anything for Shelter, 76, or the TV show, It was leaked a while ago that there was a Fallout 3 remaster in the works that was supposed to use some wacky Unreal-Gamebyro fusion to play the game. So maybe Microsoft plans on releasing remastered versions of both Fallout 3 and New Vegas sometime this year or next.

I never got to play Fallout 3 or NV so I bought them recently during the steam sale and want to see what they were like. I enjoyed Fallout 4 but I know Bethesda often removes cool shit from their games in subsequent releases(I'm fucking looking at you Skyrim, were is my fucking spell crafting??)
Nowadays it's better to play Fallout 3 through A Tale of Two Wastelands, which ports 3 into New Vegas with it's features, and with the ability to use its mods. Here's a great guide I followed just the other day, followed up by this one by the same guy which goes more in depth in overhauling the game. Started a playthrough it recently and I've been having a blast, even considering the fact that 3 is my least favorite entry. (Besides Tactics and 76 which I haven't played)
 
Will it be as shit as the GTA Definitive edition, which was was also basically a emulate version of the old engine running in unreal? Probably!
I mean we've seen that happened with Warcraft 3 Reforged and recently Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, so of course it's gonna be more of a demake and less of anything fun, but consoomers will eat it up
 
Did I mention how much I love the Titans of the East mod? Because I love it so much, it finally makes you feel that you're a walking tank with the sounds of you walking and the shaky camera effect when you jump. How did I not installed this before? It looks awesome and it could perfectly be a vanilla design.

Here's a screenshot of my character and my beloved sidekick ED-E.

What initially attracted you to the fallout series?

For me I first got introduced through new vegas.I liked new vegas because of the well thought out lore and factions. I also liked new vegas because it didn't have the over the top bright 1950s aesthetic that the new games have
 
What initially attracted you to the fallout series?
The Radio Station numbers Creepypasta, that was the first knowledge I had for the series. And then I got attracted on how massively large Fallout 3 was and the exploration aspect was really attractive to me, and decided to give it a shot one day when I bought the game. And the rest as they say, is history.

And then discovered Fallout New Vegas, and that's when I really got hooked into the series and the lore. Never really left my love for the game since.

On almost all of the old school RPG or Fallout sites New Vegas is considered the best Fallout game. Some consider it the best RPG of all time. And a few people will say it is the best game of all time or at least their favorite game. And most of the discussion about New Vegas's excellence and its faults are at an adult level and often in depth on those sites.

Reddit and other cesspools that like the Bethesda Fallouts have the mentality of children and idiots. Their brains rotted from social media and modern schooling are incapable of discussing the game beyond a base level. They cannot articulate why they like or dislike any aspect of Fallout whatsoever for any reason. This is why whenever you see an essay or video about how Fallout 3 is underrated or New Vegas overrated it seems like it was made by a child. And it is incoherent or downright schizophrenic in its presentation.

Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas are made for one group of people. Fallout 3, 4, 76, and the Amazon show are made for an entirely different group.

Hmm, might rebuild my mod list somewhat based off what I find on these guides, nice.

I really hope that Fallout 3 remaster leak was real since I feel like that could work very well, Fallout 3 is a good barebones game with lots of room for improvement while also letting a New Dev Team try a Fallout game without having the concerns of modern writing thrown in.
We both know it's somehow gonna be censored to shit, I won't be surprised if they flat out remove some really dark shit you could do in 3 like enslaving children.
