Mojave Meanderings and Wasteland Wanderings, The Fallout "Where are you now" thread Options

[TrisRed]

Yeah, Renee. Once i got better wifi at home it gave me the option to upgrade so i did

EDIT to avoid a double post:

Well here is Quistis! As you can see (and maybe disagree) I didn't want to make her TOO beautiful. She strikes me as a very average looking girl. Although she is pretty, I like the way she looks... although I might edit her jawline at some point! Also, she is wearing the tunnel snakes jacket. She had always liked butch, despite his attitude towards her (I chose to see it as flirty banter). She will probably wear this outfit for a while, and i think it looks great on her

Here is a question, mainly aimed at modders. As you can see in this pic the hair mod I added doesn't look right at all. I can;t seem to get it right, which is odd as the hair mods i use for other games work perfectly. Any thoughts?

Anyway, currently Quistis is still in Megaton, seeing the sights. She will probably make her way over to the general store soon... she has heard the owner of the store may need some help with something...

I think you did a great job with Quistis, she really strikes me as your normal, typical girl

I hope you´ll have fun roaming the wastes with her

[Callidus Thorn]

Okay, thanks to Mirocu it seems I'm going to be firing up Fallout 3 again. Haven't technically got started yet, but the character's a tech-junkie by the name of Blaine. Energy weapons again, I'll save small guns for my sniper run, this guy won't be doing any sneaking, and I'm aiming to avoid scoring too many critical hits.

His purpose is pretty much to run the MQ then go on to Broken Steel. My sniper character gets the rest of the DLCs.

Quist is a geek! Awesome!

I think the hair was meant for a different race. That is the case when I see that kind of clipping in Oblivion or Skyrim. Though since all the human races are basically the same in FO3... I dunno.

haha she is indeed... But she's a demon with a baseball bat

The hair thing makes sense. Looking back it says the hair was ported from oblivion, wjoch has a different head shape than fallout. It's cool. I'm happy with Quistis' vanilla hairstyle for now

Can't go wrong with Wendy the Welder

[SubRosa]

I use Hair Pack for my new FO3 hairs. So far all the ones I have tried have fit my character's heads. Not that I have tried them all mind you.

[TrisRed]

Hmm how odd, thats the one that i use :/ i may have to double check ive installed it right haha

[SubRosa]

The readme says that if you are using the Saram hairs, you have to download and install the Saram Hair Mod as well, and copy the textures and meshes to your FO3 folder as well. So maybe that is what is causing the issue?

[Callidus Thorn]

Ugh, so much for Fallout 3

So I create my character, defuse the bomb and a couple of other things in Megaton, deal with Silver peacefully, then head for the super-duper mart. Clear the place out, and head back to Megaton.

End up going toe-to-toe with an Eclave soldier on the way back, courtesy of Broken Steel. My (almost broken) laser pistol versus his laser rifle. His Enclave power armour versus my armoured vault suit.

And it wasn't even an interesting fight, it was a walkover.

You and your Dead is Dead... ...

I'm not saying I died loads, but would never have gotten anywhere if I'd done that...Fallout can be bloody brutal...

Esp New Vegas... ...

Right, in New Vegas it's wise to listen to NPC's advices - if they tell you that you shouldn't go in some direction because there are dangerous beasts ahead, we better listen to them. You can get pwned even by some creatures at mid- and high-levels easily.

I can manage well in FO3 as DiD but FNV is way more difficult. My former character Hoffman died because he hoped that he could sneak past some cazadores. Although it was night and his Sneak was 100, the creatures spotted him. Although he killed them, it was their poison that finished him off and not even 21 stimpaks could help him.

Actually it's quite the reverse.

I mauled the Enclave soldier, in a straight up fight at level 4. With an inferior, almost busted gun and inferior armour.

And that was after clearing out the super duper mart, and no healing items were used.

What should have been a major threat and a full-blown life or death battle was... boring. Just stood there shooting at the Enclave soldier until he keeled over.

Which has really put me off the game. If fighting a better armed and armoured enemy isn't even a challenge, I really don't see any particular reason to keep playing. I'm not saying I want every fight to be life or death, but some challenge would be nice.

You know?

Well damn, CT.

Sorry...


Well, sorry to hear you found it boring, Thorny..

Slider?

There's no slider in Fallout 3, we get a choice of five difficulty settings, at least I think it's five.

Though according to the manual this also increases the XP you get for combat, so you end up leveling faster, which seems a little counter productive.

Maybe playing Gears of War was a mistake...

[McBadgere]

Well, I'm quite happy playing on very easy, personally...

As the idea of pouring bullets into raiders in places where one would likely do it seems somewhat stupid to me...

I like one-shot kills...Not boring at all...*Le shrug*...

[SubRosa]

Go visit the Deathclaw Sanctuary, see if they are a challenge. If not, then I agree that it is time to hang up your hat (my character Hidetaka did after clearing the place out with a sword).

[Callidus Thorn]

Maybe I'll give it another try tomorrow with the sniper.

Blaine was on track to end up a power armoured juggernaut. Not really my preferred style of play, just wanted to check out Broken Steel, you know, go full Brotherhood for it.

I remember checking the place out years back, just to find the armour there. Good fun.

This guy wouldn't stand a chance though.

[mirocu]

Well, I probably won´t play FO3 for some time now myself. Going to live in The Cottage™...

[Renee]

I'm happy with default. I wouldn't quit a game after killing some enemies too easily, instead I'd count my blessings. But whatever.

Maybe you're just bored, Callidus.
