grr found ANOTHER issue. This time with the latest patch. It killed LIVE and i had to move all my save games. Live is no longer working with the game.
Its the thousand time that I get stuck in this blasted game!! Getting stuck on objects was an issue on Oblivion aswell, so I dont see how Bethesda can continue ignoring this issue.
What issue <- see what I did there.
:mad: :mad:
And by the way; There are supposedly no tree's in the wasteland because of the radiation. So how the noodlewhip did I just find a "Fresh apple" lying inside an old museum?
morrowind had a command you could type in the console that would nudge you and get you unstuck. Does this engine have such a command?
No idea. Im on the 360 so I cant access the console :(
Not on the xbox anyway but there is such commands for the gambryo engine for oblivion on the PC so I would imagine so.
GM modified apple? And how do you know what fressh is, its been 200 years.
i've only managed to get stuck once. I wish they had kept the console command from morrowind though. FIXME would move you a few feet in a random direction. Really useful. I got stuck in that game constantly. I don't think i ever got stuck in oblivion indoors. Outdoors you can simply quick travel to somewhere unless bad guys are nearby. In Fallout3, I got stuck while purposefully falling off a short cliff. I landed between a tree limb and the cliff wall and that was that. I suppose though if i had done that in real life i would have been stuck as well. What made it annoying was the dog that jumped off the cliff after me and proceeded to chew on my face while standing in empty air.Quote:

Ive never seen this issue in morrowind, oblivion or fallout 3.
It happened to be a lot in morrowind. I have experienced it a few times in Oblivion; they definitely made it less common. I have yet to experience in fallout, but I haven't logged that many hours in fallout yet.
It happens usually when you are jumping around. In morrowind and oblivion, you raise your acrobatics skill by jumping, so in both games I am constantly pounding the space bar. In fallout however, there is no incentive to act like a bunny, so that could also be why I haven't experienced it.
i experienced that only once in oblivion falling through a stairwell in shivering isles. But if you are quick when you do, you can hit the tilde and turn noclipping on and walk back up above ground and turn it off again.
It was dropped by a homeless orangutan.Quote:

I do listen to 3-dog. And I've been to the place that he has described. But I fail to see how someone could go all the way up there (its way up north), pick an apple and bring it way down there (to the Alrington Library down south, it wasnt a museum, my previous post was flaaawweeed!).
It was a long time since i read valut 101's overseers computer. Does it explain the trees or the apples?
Sure, why not :)
some vaults are given a device to give the wasteland a new lease on life. If there's one place there may be others. Plus while the trees everywhere else look like hell, they are in fact still alive.Quote:

maybe somone better versed with console commands can help me. I've enocountered a bug where i got the declaration of independence and the quest log says take it back to abraham. I go back there but my dialog options don't have anything in there about giving it to him. i have an option "before you continue, i should tell you i have the declaration of independence" but when you click on it, my only option after that is "nah, just kidding".
SPOILER ALERT
i just finished the game and i am telling you the designers need their eyes poked out. I have a super-mutant follower who is intelligent enough to use a computer terminal, but i am unable to have him turn on the pump for me? What kind of BS is that???
So I take you got unstuck if you just finished it.
nope. the bug with the declaration stopped me from finishing that quest. However it wasn't a quest that was required. It was an optional one.Quote:

I've now got 12 bobbleheads! :D
they are releasing three different add-ins. One of them kills the level limit. Also i am getting ready to start over as evil this time.Quote:

What a disappointment.
I think it's immersiveness compared to Oblivion is sadly lacking.
The pip-boy sucks horribly, as do the maps. I mean come on guys, how come we can design fission-powered trouser-presses but we can't do a map that makes any kind of sense?
Although it does address some of the annoying Oblivion gripes I had (e.g. the keyring that hides away the 8000 redundant bits of metal from the inventory).
The VATS system is a nice idea, or at least it would be if you could do more than 2 shots with ANY WEAPON before having to wait about 45 minutes for your AP counter to go up again. Stupid. Fail.
The dialog system is even worse than in oblivion.
The radio stations repeat themselves endlessly to the point where I never listen to them now. GTA: San Andreas did radio stations correctly, why can't F3?
F3 can't even do addictions right! Oblivion had addictions implemented correctly (see vampirism and felldew), F3 just gives you a mild penalty to "Charisma", Oh no I'm really done for if any monsters fancy having a nice conversation.
Fallout 3 is NOT worth £40 of anyone's money. It's barely worth picking up in the bargain bins for £15.
And then there's the bugs. Oh lordy lordy. I though backface culling bugs were a thing of the late 90's. Apparently not. And you'd think they would have put in some sort of protection against the "oh look, I appear to be trapped between a boulder and a childrens' tricicle and I'm unable to move... Oh joy an autosave right at the worst possible time! I had to use a grenade to blast myself out of the way.
Better games have fallen out of me after a bout of gastric flu.
Worst. Game. Ever.
...And while I'm comparing it to Oblivion, I must say that I would MUCH rather have had an Oblivion expansion pack. If they'd spent as much time doing that as making F3 then millions of people would be happier. Or even better, If they'd started TES5 three years earlier instead if wasting my time with F3 then I'd be much happier.
God damn it! I hate Bethesda now. :mad:
latest rumor is they are simultaneously working on three add-ons and one of them kills the level cap. There ARE ways to get out of those places where you are stuck. I quick travelled when i was.
And your vats recharge time and used time is dependent on your stats. I was able to use three shots with a shotgun, and it recharged to full in about a minute.
I'm going to blame F3 for my RRoD.
I know it's not fair, but that's just life.
Your issue wossy is you are playing fallout 3 like it is oblivion, this is akin to playing oblivion like morrowind. embrace the waste!
It's completely justified. Just stop trying to use the damn thing and buy a PS3!!Quote:

Iv'e been playin non stop Fallout and missed this thread.
The only bad thing i have to say about the game is that, to get to some places you have to use the subway.
only once. Then you can quick travel.Quote:

It's just not immersive. The game area feels a lot smaller and there is NO variation in the kind of landscape you walk through apart from it's either CITY or WASTELAND. There's nothing to do for pretty much of the time.
There's only a tiny number of quests too. 4 hours in to the game I was at level 4 already, so on that principle it'll take me 20 hours to compete the game? And where did "factions" go? I'm finding it quite hard to string it out so i don't end up completing the game really soon. Even now it's long-term appeal is wearing off.
If Oblivion scores 90% then I'd put F3 at 65%.
There had BETTER be some decent DLC coming our way... soon. :mad:
To hell with it, I'm off to play Oblivion again.

And what's with storing milk in the systern of a ****-encrusted toilet? That's just nasty.
