I was just wondering how http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=7601 mod effects the MQ?

Don't know about that one, but I use this one, which is actually called http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1784.
I've used it for most of my characters and haven't had any issues with the main quest. It just changes where you start out, and as far as I know doesn't touch on anything else.

Doh thats the one I meant to link. Thanks

The MQ dialog doesn't really make much sense in places, but that's the price you pay. You can still progress the MQ as normal.

The other day I saw a Youtube video where the tuber said something to the effect of "I played Fallout 1 and 2 since they were released, and the main story for Fallout 3 is AWESOME!" I thought he was being sarcastic at first. I can understand someone playing FO1 and FO2 retroactively and not satisfied with the dated engine....but...main story was "awesome"...really? Eh....to each their own, I guess....

He's referring to the MQ in relation to the background story you picked.

I didn't pick any "background story." What do you mean by that? I assume we are all talking about the narratives that make up the "daddy go make water clean" MQ.

The MQ revolves around you escaping the vault, and seeking out your Dad. This doesn't make sense if you weren't born in a vault.

He was not referencing the writing involved in the MQ.

Ah, I see now. Well, I guess I must hate the MQ that much to have interpreted what he said asl "the dialogue doesn't make sense regardless" :shifty:
