Tech Question: Is a nvidia GeForce 9500 video card supported by FO3? I keep crashing

» Sat May 28, 2011 1:11 am

Yes its supported. Its not the best you can get, or even what some would consider a gaming card but it should play the game around the medium/high-ish mark with luck.

Ok, so is there another reason for the random crashes?

I don't think he can do that...You didn't save Paliden Hoss and Intiate Peck did you? And they really only steal weapons....

Being a hardcoe Fallout Fanatic, I want to say bury Fallout 3 under the games again. Get the Fallout Trilogy, and play through those. When you're done with them, unbury FO3, and you'll be blow away by it. My wife started on FO3, and she thought it was "fun". Stopped playing it a few weeks later. I have yet to stop playing it, and I pre-ordered it. The other fallouts, while not essential, enhanse the storyline and gameplay of FO3. Trust me.

But thats just my advice. FO3 is a good stand-alone, but the sum is much better than the individual parts.

The caravan Brahmin and Guard is gone. i waited the usual 2 hours for Crow and his Brahmin and Guard are gone. I set them essential so they can't be dead..

Crashing?!?! Possible reasons, or is it just a really annoying bug when looting a lot of mirelurk eggs?

Now it's freezing... i give up, going back to Aion.

OK, i suppose i was too quick to react and assumed it was the game. Turns out i had 4 viruses, 2 cookies and 2 software. Soooo.... oops :facepalm: :banghead: :facepalm: <_<

I have a quick question too

I just encounter someone named Sentinel Lyons... she has a really cool laser rifle, are Energy Weapons better than small guns?

Depends in what categories and your skill in Energy Weapons.

Category: Damage per Shot

Skill: Whatever i want it to be... i found the wonderful world of console commands. I make sure i'm not overpowered at all, i only give myself leather armor and a moderate level 5 gun, such as Chinese Assault Rifle

A3-21's Plasma Rifle does up to 50-something damage per shot, IIRC. Plus, it has a really high critical chance. It's the perfect VATS weapon.

awesome... too bad i only have small mods right now because i haven't beaten the game quite yet.

That's actually good. In my opinion, it's better to experience of the vanilla game first, and them mod the hell out of it.

:rofl: yes, i plan on modding it so it almost isn't Fallout any more. One emoticon should describe everything: :fallout:

Constant freezing about 10 minutes into the game.

Why??

Mods?

Ive seen others that mods were the problem.

Energy weapons are better, but more expensive with less ammo than SG. My chars EW skill is 26 and SG is 56 and the Laser rifle does more damage than my Assault Rifle.

Mirelurk hunting!!!

The weapons issue really boils down to personal taste.

Energy weapons are okay, if that's your thing, but remember that they also show out like neon signs on an elephant's *ss.

'Specials' of most weapons are excellent, but to be honest, I think most people with small guns tend towards having a weapons mix (and we have a wider choice, too, I have to admit).

Granted it makes the game less 'desperate' when you can cart around an armoury for every occasion, but it's fun...

The story of a stupid person named Faylin:

He was starting to get pissed because of constant freezing. With the latest freeze he decided to remove the disk. And guess what.... IT WASN"T PUT IN!! Now he goes to bang his head against a brick wall... continuously. :facepalm: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: Now he has a big laugh :rofl: :lmao: and goes back to loving fallout. :fallout:
