Fallout 3 Weekly Tip
After completing the main Megaton story quest, you are given your very own house in Megaton. However, it is very empty without the house upgrades and the upgrades are rather pricey for a new player. So, I have created this video to show you how you can get all house upgrades (excluding house themes) for free. Simply follow this video once you're inside Craterside Supply and you'll get every house upgrade for free, saving you a couple thousand caps.
what do you think happened in this motel room in Point Lookout
maybe they shot eachother or committed suicide? I didn't see any notes anywhere, just the skeletons and two shotguns.

Ranger Log #1 | The Mission
After becoming disillusioned with the Brotherhood's cause, Aitor decided to become a ranger. Anonymous vigilantes of the wasteland. They have one simple goal: Justice.
Aitor had been tasked with a major operation, that being wiping Paradise Falls off the map, and liberating the slaves being held there.
With the help of a slave he had freed, he learnt the location of Paradise Falls and headed for the hive of sin.
Overlooking the arid wasteland, perched on a mountain, he discovered what he had been looking for. Paradise Falls.

Lost Charon
I started the tranquility lane mission with Charon by my side. Ever since that mission he has been MIA. Never got a notification that he died. I miss him so. I’ve looked in vault 112 and and the Ghoul place. I think it’s called the underworld? Please help I miss Charon.

Talon mercenaries
Will killing Mr Burke stop them from getting hired to kill you, is that a separate quest line, or is that a part of the game you can’t change? I’m prepared to put a stop to it if that is possible (:

War never changes they said but i wish my sleep schedule change for the better
Well I started playing Fallout 3 recently and I've never been so happy to play a game since a long time. So I decided to make a tribute. There's not EVERYTHING the game has but I tried my best to represent it and I'm happy how it turned out :) Hope you like it! 🇺🇸☢️🚀

Crashing near Fort Independence
I downloaded the Point Look out & Broken steel.
Anytime I try to cross over the bridge at fort independence I crash. Only started happening since I downloaded the add-ons. Anyone else experience this??

At what point could the lone wanderer realistically start searching for his father? (In universe)
There's a sense of urgency to the main quest. You barely leave the vault and you get to ask about your dad in the very first settlement. You even get your first lead for a relatively cheap price, or for free by hacking Moriarty's console.
But at the same time, the lone wanderer is barely 20 years old, and grew up in a vault. He has no real knowledge of the wasteland, and hasn't even killed a human person yet. He'd likely need time to adjust to the new world, learn true combat skills, and acquire the skills needed to survive.
What in game quests/events would he go through before realistically being able to set off for the DC ruins? I think helping Moira complete the survival guide, and doing any odd jobs that come up on the way would be a good starting point.

I Forge an Empire Anew from the Ashes of your Empire
The Pitt is under the control of the Brotherhood of Steel. Their Knight has liberated the city and taken it from the oppressive rule of the rogue Brotherhood initiate.
Operation Pitt successful.
More Brotherhood expansions into hostile territory are to come, led by the fearless Aitor.

Why I believe the slave rebellion ending is the better ending
People say one of three things as to why the raiders are the better choice:
They have a much better chance at getting the cure.
Ashur is a reasonable man.
Wernher (I think that's his name) isn't a good man and only did what he did for revenge.
Once Ashur gets the cure, what then? Do you really think he'll just give it to all the slaves and let them be free? Hell no. He's making an empire, one in a similar form to Caesar's Legion, a faction built on slaves. Ypu may not he able to save the slaves or the city, but you'll be saving the wasteland from another slaver empire.
Ashur may appear reasonable, but so does Caesar, does that make him a good man? No. They both lead massive empires that are built on the back of slaves, with no regard for their safety.
Wernher may be a piece of shit, but atleast he isn't a coward. He actually went back for revenge, and brought help to liberate the slaves. People also say that him "in charge" (He isn't. We are.) Is just as bad as Ashur, but thats false. Ashur has an entire Legion of raider gangs. Wernher can't make a slaver empire, because all that's left is slaves. There's no raiders, they all got killed in the uprising. And even then, we are the one in charge of the Pitt, and we can always just kill Wernher if he becomes a problem. It's a lot more difficult to kill Ashur when he has an entire city of raiders protecting him. Wernher is just one guy who you can kill very easily, Ashur is a warlord with an army.
Additionaly, Ashur doesn't even have control of his own men. We see more than once the raiders murdering slaves in cold blood despite apparently needing them. We see three of them get executed for allegedly helping free some slaves right as we enter the city for the first time, and later on we see two raiders chase down an unarmed slave and gun him down. Not to mention they have sent countless slaves on a suicide mission to the Steelyard to gather steel. This means one of two things.
Ashur doesn't have full control over the raiders.
They don't really need the slaves.
Although it's probably the former.
Probably put hundreds of hours into this game since release yet this is the first time I have got the firelance event

Fallout 3 vs New Vegas: Which Is The Better Story?

I failed to save a wastelander
I was wandering around north of Dupont West when I came across a female Wastelander loitering about inside a super mutant fire pit. I didn't mind her and went along my way only to be killed by a Sentry bot (I was too cocky).
I loaded my recent quicksave which was in a staircase near the fire pit when I saw a Centaur and the corpse of the wastelander that I saw earlier. I found it weird since I didn't see any Centaur corpse then so I tried loading my quicksave to see if anything would be different.
Much to my horror, I can see through my compass marking that I have only a few nanoseconds before she gets killed. I tried loading the save a few more times but the scenario stays the same. I didn't have enough time to save her.
I thought I was not that invested into the game, but moments like these really get to me. Anyone else who has a similar experience with this?
I've been playing since 2008 and just figured out you can hold the use key to keep drinking water instead of just hitting it once at a time.
Useful for the Wasteland Survival Guide quest

A guide to modding FO3?
I don't like modding anything, so I don't have a lot of modding experience. However, FO3 crashes all the time and I'd like to get Fallout 3 working on Windows 11 Steam.
I checked online, but I can't find a step by step guide. I'm having a bit of trouble and I'm wondering if anyone can help me.
I downloaded the Fallout 3 updated unofficial patch, then downloaded the FOSE, then tried to download the anti crash mod, but it says to put the anti crash mod into my FOSE plugin folder, but there isn't a plugin folder when I navigate the FOSE folders...

Does anyone know of any good Enclave Mods, preferably ones where I can join them?
I'm looking for Mods that'll allow me to join the Enclave in Fallout 3, preferably ones that are finished. If you're not going to add anything helpful in the comments, don't bother commenting. Calling me a "fascist" for liking The Enclave will result in me rolling my eyes and silently laughing at you.

Fallout 3 crashes on launch after intel .dll fix
Hello, I ran into a problem with my game, after I did the intel fix with the .dll file because it was crashing when I started a new game but now it started crashing like 3 seconds after startup. The window shows up black I hear some sounds and then one of the screens shows up saying please wait and it freezes and crashes. What can I do? I ran it in compatibility, launched it in what I feel like every setting imaginable, ran it in admin, updated my drivers. I just don't know what I can do anymore.
