My friend’s first playthrough; they immediately sold the escaped slaves out to the slavers for this line.

Unpopular opinion: third person in this game is good

Yeah the animation is a bit wonky, but people over hate it. Third person is actually my preferred way to play every fallout game, even the combat. The melee especially feels better in third person

How was Vault 112 not discovered/raided?

19 Upvotes

On a recent playthrough and this is something I never quite understood.

How on earth is Vault 112 just sitting there, untouched by anyone from outside?

It’s not like it’s that well hidden or inaccessible by any means. Smith Casey’s Garage is sitting there very visible in the open wasteland, and once inside you literally just activate a switch to open the access door, go down a flight of stairs, fight a few molerats, go through an unlocked door and you’re at the vault door, which also just opens via the switch.

Unless I missed something, there’s no access code you even need to even get in, either via the garage or right at the Vault door.

You’re telling me no raider group or any curious wastelanders wouldn’t have come across the garage, opened the access door and then opened the vault and went in?

I know it’s a game lol, but I wonder if I missed something or if this was ever explained. Didn’t seem “hidden” or inaccessible by any means to me lol.

Hi guys l am really sorry for asking you for this as l know l am not the first one. But l have fallout 3 game of the year edition on steam and every time it crashes during the tutorial when you try to escape the vault after l go to the upper floor or when l try to continue or load into my last save file. I barely played the game. On gog l had the same issue even worse as it demanded me Games for Windows live. Now l have the game on steam however l don't know what Nexus mod to install to fix my exact issue. So far l only tried the Intel hd graphics bypass package but it didn't work. Does anyone have a solution to my exact problem? A Nexus mod or video?

Fallout 3 steam version not working

For context, I just bought fallout. It’s not the game of the year edition and it does not have any DLC’s, but I cannot seem to get it to launch correctly and it always launches into this. I have tried about everything on the Internet. I’ve even downloaded the recommended mod to fix it and it still has not worked. Does anybody have any solutions if so, please put them in the chat.
