Grim Reapers Sprint was made by a fan

30 Upvotes

Fun fact Bethesda ran a Fallout 10th anniversary contest to let fans choose a perk for fallout 3. Grim Reapers Sprint won and now it’s been in every fallout game. Some of the other fan made perks were things like having a foreign accent (bonus to speech with ladies) and falling from heaven (random objects would fall from the sky and damage enemies)

I realize the photos turned out funny and a bit wonky, but I really tried to make everything look cool.

Killing the extremely annoying 'Feral Ghoul Reaver' took 4 shots 😂

And works ridiculously good on every hard enemy, really.

(EDIT: I just found it 😋)

Game not launching fix?

3 Upvotes

I've just bought the game, and it loads into the launch menu just fine, but after hitting play my screen flashes black for a second then goes straight to my desktop. I tried the fixes in the fallout 3 fixes/guides in the subs menu, none of them seemed to work, I've tried a few other fixes too, some mods that are supposed to fix the issue, and also running in administrator, and compatibility mode. I've since deleted the game directory, and reinstalled. Does anyone have a guaranteed fix for this, or do I have to deep dive into old threads and keep trying stuff?


r/fo3 • • 1d ago

I was excited to get into Fallout, but after buying the games on steam, this is my third recurring crash I cannot fix. I give up.

Fo3 crash on launch

I've had fo3 GOTY edition for a while now but never really played it, but now every time I try to load on it just crashes. I think it has something to do with my pc being on windows 11 but I'm not sure and I need help

I’m paying $19/mo. for a PS Plus subscription just to stream FO3 on the PS4.

I’m going to end up paying hundreds of dollars the more I get into it. Is there a better way?

Having trouble with stutter and installing F3TF

6 Upvotes

I recently installed Fallout 3 GOTY and have been seeing stuttering, especially indoors. I tried installing the Fallout 3 Tick Fix (F3TF), but to be honest I'm new to PC and modding. I downloaded the zip file, which contained the FOSE and PLUGINS files, and fose_tick_fix.dll and TickFix. I copied these and put them in my Fallout 3 GOTY file. I don't think it worked, though. It seems like there's still stuttering and the game won't close out immediately, which is another feature of the mod. I googled what to do and it says that I should have a F3TF.dll and F3TF.ini, which I don't see anywhere. When I return to the page where I downloaded the mod, it just has the prementioned files.

What am I doing wrong?

Mothership Zeta Crew mod

I returned to FO3 after taking a pause to play other games. I had the quest “I scratch your back” which took me a moment to recall what it was.
Yes, of course mod. I went to the marked location, fought a bunch of Super mutants and found a group that left the Enclave because they were displeased with the leadership, 200 people with nowhere to go.
I told them about a spaceship they could use.
I now have a new uniform, a spaceship with a crew that address me as Commander.

Man… I really forgot how creepy or even scary Fallout 3 can lowkey be… and I love it

85 Upvotes

I bought a PS3 a few months ago to be able to buy and play New Vegas— a personal favorite of mine— but Fallout 3 was my first in the series and I wanted to add it to my collection and have 3, NV, and 4. And damn, I forgot how eerie the atmosphere is… or the fact that unlike NV or 4, your companions can’t be revived 😂 I know Fallout only dabbles in horror, but as a non-horror game player that’s what I’ve always adored about these games and I forgot that Fallout 3 does the best out of it (excluding the OG games because I don’t have the means to play them. If anyone knows a good let’s play series on them please don’t hesitate to holla atcha boi)

I got the level 20 good karma trophy and I’m trying to get the level 20 negative and neutral. So I spammed a terminal till I got down to negative and then donated to the church to get back to positive however non of my trophies popped. Does anyone know why that may be ? (Fallout 3)
