Please help with mod selection

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 3:32 am

Hi all i'm having a nightmare deciding what mods to go for, i'm a veteran 360 gamer with about 1000 hours under my belt so know the wastes as well as where i live lol but just can't drag my self away for it, anyway long story short i built a pc and bought the GOTY edition to try out some of the awesome mods there are

so i know the wastes but on the 360 i only use a sword and ever since OA the generals shock sword mainly due to lack of finess on the controls where as on the pc i can use any weapon as i'm a bit of a call of duty veteran as well so know my way around a keyboard and mouse :gun:

so what i'm needing help with is making it more FPS with RPG but mainly adding new things and changing things as much as possible like the DCInteriors project you know more places to loot, open buildings and 1 or 2 decent places to live as stash stuff i would also like to start at level 30 making the game as hard as possible without making it a nightmare it would be nice to start the game without all the omg i've got to save or destroy megaton to get somewhere to live and complete OA to get power armour ect ect ect the completing OA isn't a problem as i really liked running around with a trench knife chopping some commies, i just don't want to have to kill the BOS to get 55xp and a Gatling laser lol

also is there a away to hot key health packs ilke on the 360 i had down on the d pad hotkeyed and it saved having to go into pipboy every 10 seconds as the way i play is storm into an enemy camp and kill everything in sight as quickly and cleanly as possible like paradise falls i can do that in no time on the 360 with my trusty sword so any new enemy camps enclave, raider ect would be cool as well to add to my finger collection...... i want that employee of the month regulator award lol

so to sum up lots of open buildings, new quests, lots of enemy's to fight but as easy as possible as i'm a total noob where all these mods are concerned i can build a pc no problems but that's as far as my skills stretch unfortunately

one last thing a mate of mine played the pc version and said to look into FOOK not FOOK 2 he didn't like that as much but he said there was a box when you leave megaton with items in it like power armor ect so as soon as ancorage is done i can be that wastland badass without all the stress of leveling ect :fallout:


anyway here's my system spec just encase you need to know


AMD phenom II 940 black edition stock
ASUS m3n-ht dlx
4Gb ddr2
Gainward GTX260
ACER 23" lcd 1080p (so would like to run @ 1080p)

i do plan when i have the money is upgrade the CPU to a 6x and change the GPU for 5850 or something around that spec maybe a little higher depending on how much cash i have at the time but won't be for a while

anyway thanks for reading and i look forward to your suggestions :fallout:

with many more to come but i have come across a problem or 2 yesterday with everything above installed apart from fook2 (i thought it was installed but didn't use the installer so just textures ect were installed) i played all day without issue but then realised fook wasn't installed i downloaded the installer and run it then copied over the patch files and FOOK2u stuff again but now have had 2 lock-ups the first was in megaton returning you moira after getting loads of rads for the book, it crashed when the screen turned black durig the de-radding part, this was using a save from yesterday so thought i would start again from the very start just in case, so started a new game and got through to the escape part and as soon as i started picking stuff up noticed the first aid box was missing on the wall so had a look around and found a silenced 10mm but as soon as i picked it up it crashed

i have run my load order through fo3edit and it found a few problems but i have no idea what i'm looking at so please can someone give me some advice as to what to do the problems are with some of the fook2 files but i don't want to lose fook2

just had another go with my old save before exiting vault 101 and things were going quite well i got the teleporter hat from the raider bridge (i think it was part of the levellers truck mod or something) and visited robco hq and surrounding areas and then decided to return home (from the list, it transports you to a shelter where the hat was) and it lock's up..... i'm guessing it's something to do with the errors in fook but not 100%, but from what i have seen of the game so far it's 10x better than the stock game the wasteland looks and feels so much better and i can't wait to try out some of the other mods i have in a rather large list i have compiled over the last few days but can't move on until this problem is sorted so please can someone point me in the right direction
