I have a GeForce 7900GTO. Do anyone of you know if I can use both HDR and Antialiasing at the same time. I couldn't in Oblivion.

I seem to be able to select both but I am a little uncertain if they both work. If I select HDR the lighting becomes better but I THINK it looks like I loose the AA?

You shouldn't even attempt playing this game without HDR, because HDR actually makes it look ok, where without HDR looks like 2001 game. Lose AA and have HDR on.


Ok, in other words: I can't have both, I guess...Sad

How many times can you take the INTENSE TRAINING perk? It says Ranks: 10 on the perk. THat mean you can take it 10 times? You could pump your your stats way too much if that is true.

Well even if you can take it 10 times you miss out on 10/20 perks, so it's probably balanced enough.

Yea but most other perks suck anyway. Anyone know for sure how many times you can take intense training? I just started but want to plan my character ahead of time.

I am going to repeat myself here. Add fallout3.exe to the exception list in ffdshow audio & video decoder settings. Crashing should stop.

I just can't believe that no one is using it here. You may didn't install it directly, but it could have been installed among with codec pack. For example, CCCP.

By default ffdshow already have Oblivion.exe in the exception list. As Fallout 3 is being better Oblivion and uses the same engine, it is a good thing to add it to the exception list too Smile



And the same for video decoder

 Spoiler:
 


thanks for the advice, i noticed that fddshow opens when i enter fallout3, i was like "this is very strange, why fddshow opens up when i play fallout3?"..

Well, the game only crashed here one time, when i exit the game.
I played 5hr and no crashes yet, but im going to add it to the excepetion list anyway!

i created one g4wl profile a year ago, for gears of war. all g4wl games now automatically use that profile.

f3 prolly stopped looking for saves in the default place, and now it's checking your new profile for them.
try creating a save with the new profile and copying the old saves in the same folder.

look at the name of a save from your old folder and search for smth like that.

it's like I'm playing this game and I keep telling my self :
 Spoiler:
 


too bad it feels completely like oblivion , still a good game tho
I wouldn't give it a 94% or 10/10 like the other bribed reviewers did because technically it is far behind, but if you can look through that there's a pretty good RPG there ,nothing special tho

Yeah I found that folder, another folder in F3 saves directory was created with my live offline username so I just moved them there and it's all good again.

Yes it will be outdated in 2010, but I doubt they'll use Gamebryo again by then. You're talking like they're using it for decades already, many devs use their trusty engine for years with tweaks. What dev develops or even buys a new engine with every new project? That would be totally dumb and inefficient unless you don't trust your engine.
I've seen this type of thing before, well we all have, and I'm scared of seeing the same bugs that carry over from one project to the next that use the same engine and developers that are too god damn stupid to fix them, no to mention design flaws, so what I'm saying is I want a new engine all together because I know Bethseda is to stupid to not freeze the environment when you initiate dialog, it will never, ever be corrected in this engine if they used it for another 20 years that stupid freeze bomb will always be there, it annoys me to death, haven't these people played ME, Gothic, Outcast, the Witcher? Not to mention I and a lot of other people don't want another game that feels like you're playing Oblivion, you are in a wasteland and you fell like you are stuck in Oblivion that's just wrong, it needs to be a new engine because the engine is the soul of the game, gives it new smells , tastes and sounds.

Avg score of 94 out of 17 reviews. Sorry, but you don't get an avg of 94 with a game that is bad, average, or even really good. A game that scores that high is considered stellar. You may not like it but the rest of the world does.
So what? Halo 1 and Halo 2 had major scores too and they're a piece of shit ( judging from the PC versions ). I'll do my own reviews, thank you. Smile

Got out of the vault just now, performance is pretty good, even better than what I got with Oblivion and without any kind of stuttering. But now that I'm out, I can understand some complaints regarding the poor textures; the game still looks pretty good, though.

You consider 83 and 72 major scores? I consider them pretty good and decent. I guess that's where we differ.

Don't read the bloody commentaries just look at the average scores, I find it more reliable than the pro-reviews average scores, a LOT more reliable in fact, maybe the gamers play more games and know the real score so to speak better than reviewers. And I was talking about fallout metacritic user scores.

Seems I'm late for the "party".

There are a tons of games that I need to complete before trying F3, but all this talk about not being as bad game as most of us thought, has intrigued me.

I would like to at least start thinking on the initial distribution of points for my future character.


Also, any suggestions on which attributes does the game caters?
I tend to focus on:
-Preception
-Intelligence
-Agility
-Charisma

But since VATS points regenerate, Perception may not be as important now?
Also, someone mentioned that couldn't recruit a NPC because of his/her "alignment".
That sounds like Charisma is not as relevant now.

Given Todd's childish antics, perhaps "big guns" are the best way to go?
(Rather much prefer "small guns + Energy or HxH)
And apparently, weapon degradation is so bad, that putting a lot of early points in "Repair" is a must.

Thanks!

what you're pointing out is that people have different tastes. and that you should read reviews, not look at scores. not that the reviewers are necessarily biased.
if the reviewer is good, he will be able to explain his opinion well enough to make you see whether you'd like the game or not, regardless of him liking it.

i found that out the hard way, after ignoring the big guns skill completely, i found the sniper rifle and couldn't hit shit with it, so it's completely useless right now Very Happy

Good read, thanks a lot for the link!


And yes, I believe sniper and scoped rifles were considered as part of "small guns" in F1/F2. But reading the guide above, it seems there is a new category known as 2-Handed rifles (TES?). And apparently, is better than small as well.

Have to wonder if the are energy weapons, and how or when the "special encounters" appear. I remember Todd mentioning the Stranger appearing from time to time in fights.

User scores for this game are 100% worthless. All it takes is a few dozen people still upset that Bethesda ran over their dog and wishing Black Isle would rise from the grave rating it as 0 to bring it down. And that's exactly what has happened.

In a perfect world every user who played the game would rate it and people who haven't wouldn't. But that's not the case. There are people who are vindictive and have an agenda and would love nothing more than to see this game fail. Too bad it isn't going to.

Most everyone who has actually played it loves the fuck out of it.
