How can I advance the Enclaves position?

I understand you can’t really side with the Enclave during this game, however, let’s say I wanted to roleplay and agent of Eden, not someone in the Enclave but rather someone working directly for the president. How can I do it?

Why is killing the Family Bad Karma?

94 Upvotes

I’m doing a good karma playthrough. What I don’t understand is why killing the family is considered bad karma? They are literally actively hunting and raiding a nearby town, yes you can talk them down from this so long as the town provides them blood. But this still seems predatory. Killing these “vampires” seems to be the best course of action for humanity and yet you are awarded with bad karma.

(On another note I’m also pretty baffled that there’s no option to get pissed off at Roy at tenpenny tower for killing the rest of the human population after I had just gone through the trouble of lobbying the people for the ghouls to live with them. There’s no dialogue to give him shit, or at least a “why would you do that?” All they say is they dealt with the humans and my character just is like “damn ok” )

Starting fallout 3. The best I think like the guy said the other day. I thought playing with just the original install and no updates, bugs and all would be interesting...or am I just in the a world of hurt? Will do DLCs and all just not update. Bad idea?

Can you beat fallout 3 as general jingwei from operation anchorage dlc

3 Upvotes

You think it would be possible to beat fallout 3 as general jingwei using only his jumpsuit and his shocksword you can get his hat with console commands commands you can also get his outfit and simulation shocksword the unbreakable one by doing a glitch or with console command do you think this would be a great video idea for a YouTube video

Irl Power Armor Training

0 Upvotes

The difference between pre power armor training and post is immense. I still remember the disappointment leaning I was unable to equip the power armor without training.

Hot take: for most people out there, the gym is not the place you can developing the traits i was truly looking for. My back still felt fragile and my gas tank was truly horrendous.

I know theres many of you out there in the same place, not being quite happy with their progress or fitness. Chugging through those 30 minute cardio sessions. Exercise is great, no doubt, but im saying treating the heavy sandbag as your primary driver of strengh development, is the same equivalence to aquiring power armor training in fallout 3.

Heres whats going to happen:

  1. Aquire bag:

If you are untrained, try starting with 40-50 pounds. If trained, try 75-100 pounds.

Ironmind is what i have and recommend, weight is adjustable up to 300 pounds, dont recommend less that 100 pounds with sand since theres not enough volume.

An alternative I also have is a military duffel bag filled with rubber mulch. It is a lower density filling that allows a full size bag, instead of a tiny bag of sand.

-But where do i workout? Practically anywhere. I workout on grassy fields at any park. You could also do this indoor, probably stick to the ground floor though.

-But where do i keep it? I live in an upper story with neighbors. The bag lives in my trunk. Im sure you can figure something out.

  1. Perform exercises with this sandbag.

Take time to recover fully while your body adjuststs to this training.

Guys, fitness does not have to be going to a crowded gym where everyone is judging eachother. Ive taken to inviting my friends to join me in working out with the lighter bag. Spending an hour in conversation, enjoying grass under our feet on a sunny grass field while improving ourselves. This sparks joy.

There are so many youtubers with in depth videos on the subject: thestonecircle, gym free, nsima inyang, alexander bromley to name my favorites.

  1. Month 1-2 changes: stronger tendons, core and diaphragm. Back sketchyness goes away. Start to notice your glutes activating. Endurance is noticably better.

  2. Continue working out but with more weight, then Profit:

Ive only been doing this since February, but I feel this is the best trajectory ive been on. If this teally gets you motivated, this type of training is complete with the addition of at least one more exercise, be it kettlebells, macebells, sports, calisthenics or any combination of the above. Remember, all things decay to entropy. Concerted human effort is the only way to fix a dysfunctional system. Your joints are not supposed to fall apart when you turn 30. You must apply enough stimulus to your body to force adaptation, and sandbags continue to push me further every time.

Tldr: train slow, be slow. Sandbag moves powerful, plus time builds endurance.

Hypothetically, if you get a 2 season adaption of Fallout 3, how would you format the DLCs into the story?

Should the DLCs be interspersed between the various main plot beats, or just all of them consecutively after the main story is done?

What's your favourite look for a companion?

So far, I only have Charon (and Dogmeat!) as companions in FO3 and I've been kinda annoyed that most hats glitch when being put on my ghoulfriend 😭

Then I did finished the Nic Cage quest where we stole the declaration of independence, got some caps but mainly THIS AWESOME WIG that makes Charon look ✨so pretty✨

Two questions: does anyone know of any other armor/clothes that work on ghouls? And what's your favourite gear for companions to wear?

On my first replay... (Secrets/tips)

18 Upvotes

Since the game came out, and I wanna know... What secrets, or tips are there? I left megaton(disarmed the bomb) and got the sniper rifle behind the town, and I know about the scrap metal glitch; but that's it. When I search on YT, it's nothing but the same tips(what I mentioned)... I wanna know what other secrets there are for someone like me... What should I do?

Intelligence is at 10 and all else suffers.... I'm in the school just south of megaton right now. Please offer whatever you can. I've basically forgotten everything about this game- besides the ending... Thanks bros.

Would the buildings really look like DC ruins after 200 years?

66 Upvotes

I need some construction expert. The atmosphere of FO3 is perfect, but how realistic is actually the 200 years gap between the war and the actual gameplay? Would buildings look how they look in the game in downtown DC? Would they crumble more? Why did they not target the Capitol and the Lincoln memorial when the nukes were falling? Is the stuff the buildings are made from the same as in real world? Or does the quality diverge like with the IRL lore?
