The Rage games are great examples of why Fallout games works best without vehicles as a main feature
I actually reccommend playing them. Rage 1 and 2 are both fun, especially if you are only into Fallout to shoot things. The combat is great and the games themselves are quite short If you dont want to get too invested.
However, the driving makes things dull. The driving makes most of the map feel empty and redundant, much like the Starfield planets. Actual exploration is broken down into small cells seperate feom the rest of the game.. It breaks things up but not in a good way, but instead a very tedious way.
The exploration in Fallout games is the one unifying feature people like across the games. Its the handcrafted little details and secrets that keep people playing these games for years.
Bits and peices of vehicles are fine but making it a main feature would be very difficult to work. without harming the games and why they are enjoyed. You'd be sacrificing large parts of the map with dense exploration just to have driving sections. When you do that it no longer becomes a Fallout game.
Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition crashes to desktop when starting a new game
I have just purchased Fallout 3 on my laptop after having enjoyed Fallout New Vegas, and being surprised it would run on my low end HP laptop. I purchased Fallout 3 about an hour ago as I have beaten New Vegas multiple times now.
When I click “New”, it loads for about a second, freezes, and then crashes to desktop. It’s done this each time I tried. I know Fallout 3 used to not be able to run on anything past Windows 7, but I had thought they had patched that issue.
Does Fallout 3 require higher specs than New Vegas to run on PC? I’ve read there are mods out there to make it playable, but I would also like to be able to get Steam achievements so mods would be a no go for me.
Should I just refund it and buy it again later when I upgrade from my laptop to an actual PC? Again, I had no issues running New Vegas, but perhaps Fallout 3 is more resource intensive.
If one of the magazines or skill books from the Fallout series was printed so you could read it in real life, which one would you pick and why?
It can be based on the in-game effects and/or the contents of the book/magazine itself.
I tried really hard to make Sanctuary a little bit better.
I painted an X-01 power armor action figure.

Mentat Candy for Birthday Party
I'm throwing a Fallout themed birthday party and am looking for a red mint I can buy in bulk to put in homemade Mentats tins. I'm looking for a mint that looks Mentats from Fallout 1 but am having no luck. What are some recommendations for mints or other hard candies that would work?
Should I fall for the Brotherhood propaganda this playthrough?
Meat-golem Danse is making me think Maxon has a point about the Institutes abominations...
Light Switch 1 Interactive prop
Here is my prototype Light Switch 1. It was designed, built and coded it myself and will eventually be used to control an actual light switch.
Besides controlling a switch it can play ambient music from the game and will periodically say lines from the game either triggered by a timer or an optional motion sensor. Let me know what you think.
Fallout New Weegaz
Little peice featuring my fav companions while working on some other art things, preparing for a move later and working.
Who are your favs and why?
Arcade, along with being witty and charming, and just generally pleasant to be around, is a pragmatic yet kind soul. He sticks to his principals, but is willing to have discussions and have his opinion changed within reason. He feels like an older classmate who's willing to help and talk things out, while also having very clear bounties and stances. And, again, I find him nice to be around.
He's a good guy, and I may be alone in this, but I enjoy and appreciate his input.
Veronica is this funny, slightly tragic, and driven individual, who's life just gets *infinitely* the moment the Courier decides to let her tag along. She's such a joy to be around, that she's one of the only people that can get me to feel "excited" to go Vault hunting in the game (I delve into vaults all the time, not bc I *like* doing it; force of habit. Knowing it can "help" her makes it a bit more tolerable).
I always feel a bit bad when doing her quest, knowing that all our hard work ultimately does nothing to get the Brotherhood to be more sustainable. The choice on what to do is kind of hard for me: either push her to leave even when she's not ready to, or let her stay watching her family die out as tensions between the two only rise while their relationship turns even more sour. I found her story a pretty compelling and tragic study about toxic family and how they can still hurt if you leave or stay. There was no winning for her, for a lot of people.
Cass is fun. Her perk is fun (love the extra DT from whiskey, and being addiction proof), her passing remarks everywhere you go are funny, and her quest is cathartic as heck [love you Gloria, but also you absolutely had it coming].
I find Cass' perspective on the NCR from a civilian point of view pretty interesting. Like Boone, she's a very critical supporter, focusing on how bad the Republic is at protecting their own. Love how she describes them as "some dumbass younger brother, say, who knocked up the pastor's daughter, can't hold a job, and his home-away is a jail cell?" It's extremely accurate to the state of NCR politics, and the nation overall. Better than the Legion, still sucks.
Cass has a bunch of memorable quotes, speaking of which. She's the Majove's resident word smith always has something biting or fun to say: my favorite bits being when she calls Benny a "snake" for shooting me, and the Fish conversation.
I made Army Officer (Ghoul) in a modern engine, based on the design from Fallout 3.
This is just a personal project. The engine used for the character was Unreal Engine.

Fallout date for boyfriend
I have never played Fallout before, but every so often I like to do themed date nights for my boyfriend.
It's supposed to rain on our days off so our plan is to do a shared play of Fallout 4 on PS5. I'm looking for recommendations for themed food and activities to do on said date night. I have limited funds but I am willing to spend a little bit of money to make it nice. Preferably an all day date with gaming, food and activities in between.
Here is what I have so far:
Nuka cola- print out labels and tape them on coke bottles.
Design/draw the ideal nuclear shelter.
Some sort of scavenger hunt/treasure hunt where I make a map and hide something and he has to find it outside. I'm not sure if there is anything I can bury in a box in the ground that's on theme. A trinket or hint at the next activity or really anything.
I'd like to have at least one themed meal, and a few themed snacks. A few other activities as well. I'm open to pretty much anything. I'm willing to go to the dollar general or Walmart to buy tins or something to put food in or make fake MREs... I just can't break the bank.
Please comment your suggestions, I'd like to make it special. I have pretty much all day tomorrow to set it up
oh also, no spoilers for the game please! I know the basis of it but I've never played so don't include any that will give away the story line.
Anything to know before playing FO3 for the first time?
Hey so about a month ago I made a post asking what order I should make my playthrough and concluded that I will go 3 then NV then 4. I’m now about to play FO3 as soon as I post this, and would appreciate any tips or anything in general I should know to do or not to do that will help make this an enjoyable first time . I love post apocalyptic stories so I can’t wait!
A Champion of Made in Hollywood: ‘Fallout’ Season 2 Delivers Character-Driven Storytelling, Ambitious Cinematic Techniques
variety.comIs it now established canon that all ghouls will eventually succumb to a feral state? If so, does it at all justify the attitudes of human wastelanders (e.g. BoS, Enclave, Foundation) or is it bigotry?
reddit.comThoughts While Playing Fallout (4 and 76)
So. I started playing the Fallout games (specifically 4 and 76) after my husband passed away; it was one of his favorite game universes.
Thoughts I have had while playing Fallout games:
They can keep the Prydwen in the air and they have vertibirds (which, admittedly, do seem to have about -100000 HP) but not cars or motorcycles? (Yes, I'm aware of the one car, New Vegas, I think? One of the games my husband played a lot, along with 3)
Have you noticed THE SHEER NUMBER OF BOTTLES OF ANTIFREEZE in kitchens?
Love the games so much.
