Unofficial Patch
Fallout 3 unofficial patch, this will fix a lot of problems on newer OSs
Fallout Characters as everday people
Lets go, spoiler or not, all your choiceLore Question Thread
From what i loosely understand starting this game from fallout 3 onward. Frank horrigan was a low iq footsoldier in the early enclave military with a bit of mental issues. At some point sifting through the masters mutant factory he gets hit with the FEV. And gets alot of tests done inluding a full blown darth vader style power armor cage settup..
Heres my question. I heard that the fev was originally created by the us government pre war, to create a new range of super human soldiers to combat the chinese.
If im not wrong on that and being that the enclave is technically all what remains of the usa.
Does that make frank horrigan, america's first and only true success with the fev virus and its origional objective?
Is there a plausible explanation for why the Courier is such a fucking noob at the beginning of NV?
I'm trying to figure out why a seasoned wastelander with years of navigating inhospitable lands is a Level 1 loser with no applicable skills? You'd think he'd have a pretty high Survival rating at least, but not even that.
>inb4 amnesia
One of the devs explicitly refutes amnesia. So what the fuck? Am I just to accept the Courier was a happy-go-lucky buffoon who stumbled through countless dangers?
Maybe I'm late to the party, but I'm here at Goodsprings, asking some girl to teach me how to survive in the desert, and it's pissing me off. At least the Lone Wanderer was a sheltered teenager; I can't come up with a good excuse for the Courier.
A psychopathic genocidal homosexual Legion Legate professor and crucifier was teaching a class on Caesar, known faggot
”Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Caesar and accept that he is the most brilliant being the world has ever known, even greater than Jesus Christ!”
At this moment, a brave, patriotic, pro-NCR veteran ex-Ranger champion who had served 1500 tours of duty and understood the necessity of war and fully supported all military decision made by the NCR stood up and held up a .308.
”What is this, pinhead?”
The arrogant Legate smirked quite bloodthirstily and smugly replied “It's a pre-war ranged weapon, you filthy degenerate. The Legion prefers melee weaponry as it more easily brings out the warrior spirit.”
”Wrong. Though this weapon can fire bullets, it can also be used as a blunt instrument.”
The Legate was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of The Gallic Wars by Julius Caesar. He stormed out of the room crying those Legion crocodile tears. The same tears liberals cry for the “dissolute” (who today live in such strength that most own firearms) when they jealously try to claw justly earned wealth from deserving tribes. There is no doubt that at this point our Legionnaire, Gaius Femmius Faggus, wished he had seen the light of democracy and become more than a professional Caesar groupie. He wished so much that he had a gun to shoot himself from embarrassment, but he himself had petitioned against them!
The students applauded and all registered with the NCR military that day and accepted Aaron Kimball as their president. An eagle named “Romanes Eunt Domus” flew into the room and perched atop the NCR Flag and shed a tear on the chalk. The pledge of allegiance was read several times, and Tandi Williams herself showed up and enacted a flat tax rate across the country.
The Legate lost his tenure and was crucified the next day. He died of the Legion plague AIDS and was tossed into the lake of fire for all eternity.
Give 'em hell rangers.
Favorite Fallout 4 Companion
So I just got through adventuring with Curie a bit, and I gotta say she is so adorable, shes just naive and innocent enough about the surface world to be heart warming and endearing. Plus she has a french accent so :P. Look at her power armor I gave her :D

Fallout 4 Predictions
Knowing how badly Bethesda fucked up FO3, here are some predictions for FO4
>Nuka Cola caps replaced by bawls and Monster caps for sponsorship money, kids will love it, real life monster cans and bawls cans will have codes for in-game caps.
>No more boring 60's music, the OST for FO4 will contain exclusively kid's Bop versions of Slipknot and Linkin Park songs.
>Did you notice the Lesbian couple in the trailer? Everyone in FO4 is a lesbian. Boston is a very progressive city, you know.
>The main character is the original vault dweller's son, and the Courier's mother, and also Aradesh's third cousin. It makes sense if you don't think about it.
>Half the game's guns will be unlocked in a DLC pack, the other half will also be in a DLC pack, so will all the character models and the game's code respectively. But don't worry Bethesda will release a GOTY edition a year later with all the DLC and twice the bugs.
>Half of the game's resources are re-textured Skyrim sprites. In fact not even all of them are re-texured. Super mutants are just orcs with a lower poly-count, no one will notice.
>Instead of fixing bugs, Bethesda made them into 'Easter Eggs' and gave them trophies. Did your companion just moonwalk into the ground? Congratulations! You just found an Easter egg!
>This is all canon
Any more predictions?
At our section of the Dam we got a naked guy with a power fist and some redhead, who proceeded to run around killing all the legionaries in the place, then take there clothes and throw them into his pockets. Then when everyone was dead he went over to the redhead and essentially ruptured her intestines with the power fist. How the hell it got so deep in there I'll never know. Anyways, after they finished fucking or whatever you can call anally power fisting someone on top of the corpses of 12 legionaries and a Brahmin, we went outside and found it was night time. Jenkins and I took some Cateye we found a while back, but the naked dude just sat there staring into space. I tried to ask him what was going on, apart from the fact that he was covered in shit and cum, but my CO started screaming at me to leave him alone.
12. Fucking. Hours.
That man did not move for 12 hours. We were told to stop the assault on Legions base and hold our EXACT positions until he was ready, which was weird, because they weren't attacking us either, then suddenly he starts jumping towards them like a frog or some shit. Fought Lanius by himself. Well, not really fought, he just kinda said "No" and the Legate just sorta fucked off back East.
I don't know man, it's a Wild Wasteland. Y'know?
Fallout 4 Speculation Thread
considering we got about 5 months left, I figured we can pass the time speculating on stuff that may or may not be in Fallout 4.
Confirmed:
>Weapon mods
>Power armor mods
>Settlement building
>Multiple settlements
After digging a bit deeper into the E3 showing:
>Quest markers
>Pipboy-less power armor
>Rechargeable crits (Luck based)
>BoS can be an enemy faction at some point
>Hacking and Science are separated (and thus might prove that skills is merging with SPECIAL and perks.)
>Sprinting drains AP. (Endurance based)
>Armor falls off of enemies if damaged.
>Different models of power armor
>Different paints for power armor
Maybe
>Normal armor mods
>Destructible Environments (in one building, at least)
>watching (and participating in) arena fights
What about you, Anons? did you see anything in the E3 demo that I missed? or is there something in the E3 demo you don't understand? Or is there something else entirely you want to speculate about FO4?
I hope New Vegas crafting stuff is there as well, making your own stimpaks and ammo was useful as fuck in New Vegas.
Was messing around in the GECK today for New Vegas and I made Thundersticks from Mad Max… Pretty fun weapon to play with. Anyone know 3d modeling so you can put a fission battery at the end of a spear so it will be like an exploding battery, just like the movie? I'll be putting this on the Nexus, will credit you with your Nexus account name of course. I have modding experience.
The weapon is finished all I need is the model.
FO4 Questions
Hey guys, I was watching the trailer for FO4 and there are some things that confuse me.
I'm not the biggest Fallout lore guy, so bare with me.
>Pre-war Vertibirds? I thought the only ones pre-war were prototypes
>US military in brotherhood armour? Wouldn't they be more likely to wear Enclave armor or something else entirely?
>Speaking of brotherhood armour, is it just me or does the suit of armour on the rack look like a patch-work of different pieces? Maybe this could just be an art-style choice by Bethesda but idk
Is it just me or did they fuck the lore?
Now here are some nit-picky things
WHY IS BOSTON SO COLORFUL? WHY IS EVERYTHING SO COLORFUL? I WANT VARYING SHADES OF GREEN GREY AND BROWN DAMN IT.
THE STATEHOUSE SURVIVED THE BLASTS?
THE USS CONSTITUTION SURVIVED THE BLASTS? OKAY MAYBE I GET THE STATEHOUSE, BUT THAT THING IS ANCIENT. IT'S LITERALLY MADE OF WOOD.
LESBIANS!!!??? REEEEEEEEEEEEE
Anyone tried this mod? I hear conflicting opinions.
Some say it's an autism simulator with no ammo that gets boring fast if you don't like melee, others praise it.
I admit it reeks of 3hard5u edgy manchildren garbage but I'm wondering if it's worth a try. Conflicts with some mods I have so I can't even try it out.
FO:NV - DUST
Hi there, anons.
Ever heard of DUST? Its a new comprehensive NV mod that aims to bring us a vision of the mojave 20 years~ after the original story.
Ever heard ulysses saying the tunnelers will invade the mojave but suprised there weren't any?
Ever thought about what would happen if you would Sierra Madre the whole mojave?
Well here you go. The modder aims to bring the most apocalyiptic NV outcome to life.
Cities deserted, towns ruined, tunnelers stalking and destroying the wildlife, scavengers at every turn of the road - A hellhole.
Personally, i think the idea is extremely promising and i am going to soon jump into my first try of the mod, i suggest you do that too.
I'm brainstorming some stuff for the Tennessee wasteland over on /tg/, you guys wanna help at all?
>I could have Memphis as a large ghoul town overrun with slavers, or possibly the ghouls are slavers collecting humans to tend to their fields. I want to do something based on the leader of the settlement maybe trying to redirect the Mississippi river to flood Nashville, so that they become the heart of Tennessee's wasteland.
>Nashville is a musical city, kind of a hub town. Maybe having few west coast mutants chilling out finding their new 'master' is the sound of music? I am really at a loss on this one.
>LeConte Lodge is a home to some slingshot-vehicle based raiders, maybe. Home of the raiders in Tennessee in any case. No tribe name yet.
>Many other types of tribals in the Smokey Mountains, perhaps a hideout for the Railroad, while the rest of Tennessee doesn't denounce slavery so much.
>On the west side of the Mississippi is Caesar's Legion, who hold strict borders while they wage war in the Mojave.
>On the border of Tennessee and Mississippi is a group of cultists calling themselves the Hollow Point, and worship the texts of Lovecraft.
>Fort Knox in Kentucky is a Slaver headquarters, who deal in trade between Legion, Pitt and Paradise. They use Gold Coins, so in Tennessee, Gold Coins are the main currency as opposed to Caps.
