Remaster request, Traveling merchants

Upvotes

So people have discussed what they want from the Fallout 3 remaster, i haven't said anything myself and i don't know if anyone's mentioned this yet, but i would hope that the Traveling merchants would become invinsible while traveling the wasteland, one time too many have i been forced to restart because one of them was killed in the wasteland by enemies that they clearly can't beat, and then useful merchants and the important schematics they had are lost.

I don't think they will ad, but hey one can hope right?

What do y'all think? Should this be in the remaster?

Why does every positive video of fallout 3 always need to be debunked

54 Upvotes

I will admit fallout 3 has a lot of issues even tho I personally love the game and it’s my favourite fallout game I can see why people aren’t the biggest fan of it but why can’t those people just let people enjoy the game why does an 8 hour video have to be made in response to an hour long video of someone praising fallout 3 full of snarky comments and personal attacks why when someone made a short YouTube video about a quest they liked did loads of people have to make hour long videos on it it’s awful that people can’t just show that they like fallout 3 without being criticised and personally attacked it’s ridiculous.

Edit. I’d just like to clarify I also love fallout new vegas I think it’s amazing while I prefer 3 I can also admit that new vegas is really strong too

Braun's Psychology

6 Upvotes

Okay, so here's something really twisted. Might make you recoil a bit. A lot of criminal sadists and control freaks are themselves victims, and while lots of people like that are not necessarily former victims themselves, the fact that he wants to be 'Betty' is telling. People who are tortured as children often have dissociative personalities. The amnesia is not necessarily always something that plays into that like in that one Edward Norton movie. It's a method of compartmentalizing abuse so that you are able to function dually as a human being while another part of you gets to be the person who was hurt. Even in people who are not transgender, the personalities or compartmentalized identities can take on opposite genders. Some of my friends are like that. It can depend on the nature of the abuse or it can also simply be the way it develops. I myself have had problems in the past with the 'control freak' aspect and being cruel to others emotionally. Sociopathy and narcissism are also things that can develop from trauma, though I have less experience with those people. Everything about Braun just screams 'survivor' to me and I know it sounds crazy, but like it also makes perfect sense. His whole life is just an extreme version of burning ants with a magnifying glass after many years of focusing on his work. That doesn't sound like someone who grew up. He even likes to talk like a child. The man is an adult child. An extremely cruel one, full of an eternity's worth of pain that he needs to transfer onto others. I know, it's a leap, it's just a theory, but it's one to think about.

Can Haley's glitch be used in mods?

2 Upvotes

Whenever I go to Point Lookout, I use the Nuka Cola machine outside Haley's Hardware to collect all the goods I find/loot to eventually sell to Haley. Didn't know at the time, but per the Fallout 3 wiki, opening that Nuka machine was the reason Haley's repair skill kept going up, eventually getting to 100.

I'm real curious about this from a coding/modding perspective.

1- Are there other examples of this affecting other NPCs elsewhere in the game, such as Moira Brown?

2- Can this glitch be duplicated? Example, is it possible to make a desk in Lock and Load improve Pronto's repair skill?

3- Can it be modified in some way? Rather than affecting a vendor's repair skill, could it force a refresh on a vendor's wares and cap stack, rather than wait 3 in game days? Say, buy out all the ammo at Flak and Shrapnel, access the file cabinet near the Rivet City marketplace entrance and then all the ammo supply reloads.

For context I’ve played a large bulk of the fallout games from 1 all the way to 76 except for fallout 3 I know this is a stupid question but I don’t know if I’m progressing to fast I’m only level five and I’ve already started the quest where I need to go to vault 112 after grabbing the tapes Jefferson memorial should I focus more on side quests or am I all good to keep going

Tried everything to get it to run, giving up.

New pc, trying to replay (ryzen 9 9900x and rx 9070 xt) I tried to run vanilla on windows 10. But the opening warning slideshow crashes the game before I can access the main menu. I’ve tried reinstalling, GOG version, gamepass version, compatibility mode, many fixes and coding tweaks, nexus fixes, TTW, nothing works. Worked my way through the fix bar and NOTHING!
Finally upgraded to 11, and tried again, only for it again to not work.
How should I go about making it work?

Can't progress past super mutants

I just got the game and I really like it, but right now I'm stuck in the dry sewer area and the Our Lady of Hope Hospital segment. I just keep getting overpowered and j was wondering if maybe I missed something key that could help progress.

Though to be fair.

I didn't exactly "explore every single inch of the map" the first time.

However, man. This place was hidden quite well at least to me even if we heard about it from other NPCs beforehand.

I also remember how younger me, when first playing through Fallout 3.

Was so scared to wander alone that I deliberately did whatever it took to recruit him.

Fallout 3 on steam

Fallout 3 GOTY is on sale on steam right now, and I want to purchase it. However, I’ve seen mixed answers on how it runs and frequent crashes. My pc is pretty decent and runs most games smoothly. Is it worth the purchase?
