Replaying Fallout 3 + New Vegas

go for broken steel. broken steel is good.

You completed it without playing sidequests? So it took you like 1,5 hours? :D

Mods I used:
Increased enemy spawns
weapon mods
some nice weather mods
new quests

I finished it in about 5 minutes. Escaped the vault and the game ended.

get the one with the nude children

How can you play an "rpg" without doing every bit of content!!??

i also wanted to replay fallouit 3, but i have W7 and apparently theres compatbility problems between the two
do you use W7? could you update me if it worked flawless to you?

EDIT: i think you should just play New Vegas imo. i also did something similar to you, i think ive had around 10 hours of fallout 3, but in new vegas i have 50 hours so far and i still haven't done everything
there are no real relation between the two so just jump on new vegas and if you'll feel bored then try fallout 3

Still got 90 hours in (took a little pause).

There's only one Guns skill, so you don't need to split points any more. Energy weapons and big guns seem to be even more scarce than in the previous game, but there are definitely a lot more melee weapons (and a few pretty powerful ones). Most enemies still have guns though or other ranged attacks.

There are less hard/very hard locks and for most of the medium+ quest related locks you can still find a key anyway. I pimped it pretty hard anyway, because I tend to steal everything I can get my hands on. There aren't a lot of important terminals to hack (so far), so putting a lot of points in there is even less attractive than Fallout 3.

Few of the major difference are the scarcity of skill books, I think there are only 3 or 4 of each skill in the game (major difference to Fallout 3). You can't max out most of the skills or SPECIALs like you could in Fallout 3 (very little apparel to boost skills either), unless you get some mods. It's definitely more fun as you can't possibly try every different tactic with just one character. You will also notice that the speech challenges have changed, they took out the random chance and replaced it by prerequisites (you can only make challenge A if you have Science 50, challenge B if you have INT 7, etc.).

You can pretty much make do with the standard weapons you get in the course of the game, some of the unique variants aren't necessarily more powerful. They also can't be modded, so in some cases you will run around with the non-unique weapons anyway (sneak critical with a "weak" Varmint Rifle with a silencer and scope can get you kills on regular human opponents and smaller animals far through the game).

It's thoroughly enjoyable, but it's just a pity it still suffers from the occasional bugs and freezes like you could find in the previous games with this engine.
