I never finished FO4. Steam says I put in over 60 hours before I moved on to something else. I wonder if the Steamdeck will play it ok. 86gig install, is large.

Downloading F4 to Steam Deck, time to finish it (only Fallout I didn’t finish). Are the DLC worth it? Does buying the GOTY edition will make me redownload the base game and all the DLC?

I need a list of good mods.

I would never play vanilla for any of them anymore but there are tons of great mods out there. Experimenting with mods is almost as fun as playing the games themselves lol.

Fallout 4 had some really good dlc. Far Harbor is so much better than the base game. I didn’t really like the base game but loved Far Harbor. If you like the base game then probably love far harbor even more

I'll say one thing, Games Workshop are currently licking their lips about how the Amazon Studios deal with them is going to sell them a whole load of plastic crap.

Those are not in the realm of what Hollywood would consider engaging at all. Surely you must realize that.
Voice acting, writing, visuals, style, type of story, narrative, tone…not a chance do most of those have the whole package that would get Hollywood’s attention.

I had the same issue when I tried to play a few months ago. The culprit seems to be a very specific setting in the graphics options that doesn't affect visuals, but seems to immediately crash the game when maxed out. I wish I could remember which.

Works out much better when you make the game first, and then the show.

First episode, although yes it was good, for me it felt like it was all over the place. Episode 2 however was much better paced and really good imo, can't wait to see the rest.

Bethesda would have been wise to have their next gen update for Fallout 4 to be ready by the release of the series.
I love Bethesda games but I think they have terrible leadership.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
140K playing on Steam right now.
The show really has done great for the games' resurgence.

Microsoft need to pull out all the stops to get the FO3 and NV remasters out ASAP.

At this point it would be best to time a remaster with season 2.

Use mods for 3, you can make it look much better. And for even more fun you can install Tale of Two Wastelands, allowing travel between the two worlds.

For those of you who want to do real time gunplay and no VATS, Fallout games arent the kind since trying to play it like a shooter doesn't feel good.......... unless you do the mod for unlimited ammo and spam gunfire constantly. Then it feels pretty good! lol

Bethesda and Todd are still salty about New Vegas being better than any of their Fallout games so NV probably won’t happen.
Edit: I downloaded Fallout 4 with updated mods, Fallout 3 + NV, but fuck it, I am playing Fallout 1 with mods and then Fallout 2. Let’s go old school.

Reinstalled FO3 doing with an unarmed build (never done that before). Time to track down Qui-gon Daddy.

I used to do that build in every fallout games.

Bethseda and MS really screwed the pooch having nothing ready to release in conjunction with the series, would of been a perfect time to release remasters of the 1st two on PC and Xbox

Good point, basically what Sony did with TLOU Part 1 Remake and the TV show launch. They did at least plan the Fallout 4 next gen update patch to drop next week though. I personally can't wait to finally play Fallout 4 with that update.

Is it just me or is Fallout 3 a dark game? It's problematic when travelling at night or when exploring buildings without many light sources. The flashlight is also really crappy, it only works on a small area directly in front of you. I don't know if it's my memory failing me (I've played the game when it launched) or is it a problem with the BC version (playing on XSX).

Nah, it's definitely a dark game.
Doesn't help that the entire capital wasteland has a turd-colored palette.
And yes, flashlight is shitty in 3 and 4.

You’re this in a thread that has seen an enormous increase in player activity since the release. And the updated fallout 4 patch is due next week… if anything it worked out really well because people are re-engaging with old games they didn’t have to spend any additional money on.
I will say though it sucks there’s no NEW game in the pipeline.

If you bought on Steam, you're going to need to downgrade via a mod patcher. The essential mods for Fallout 3 are all tied to a version before Bethesda did an update out of nowhere back in 2021.
I did all that and broke something. Reinstalled and playing it vanilla. Had to lock the game to 60fps via Nvidia Control Panel as it was running way to fast effecting the game.

I recommend using GoG for the older Bethesda games. It’s a lot safer that way and I haven’t had any issues with them.
Skyrim and Fallout 4 should be fine on Steam, but on GoG side you can just stay in a particular patch level so that’s a plus.

Easy answer: they didn’t think it will be a success. You did not have articles like this after Rings of Power came out.

No reason why it can’t coincide with Season 2 or 3.
The show’s done its job and significantly boosted the IP.
But yes, it shows some poor strategy from Phil and co. Can’t be that hard to find a good studio to do a remaster

There are SO many "first time" playthroughs on YouTube of Fallout 4 at the moment by people who watched the show.
Most of them seem to really like it, too.

" Weapon Debris " in advanced settings. Turn that thing off and you should be good.
Then there's also a infinite loading bug that happens sometimes which apparently is tied to v-sync being turned on. Turning it off and enabling it through Nvidia Control Panel fix the problem somehow (didn't try it myself).
Fucking Bethesda game dude...
