   Great picture here. I wish for you a smooth running game (mine's a tad temperamental in places) I can see from the comments taht you're new to FO3. Make sure to do The Pitt. It is still - to me- the best DLC I've played. You will end up with a bad taste in your mouth no matter what you do. And that conundrum is to me what makes it stand out. Quite apart from being visually stunning.

      Thank you.
      So far, the game has been pretty stable, but, of course, as we all well know, when it comes to Bethesda games, you are never sure if there's a CTD, or bug, lurking around the corner. I have the GOG version of the game, which may help, though.
      The Pitt is actually the other DLC I'm keen to explore, so thanks for the confirmation!

   Nice setup and nice to see you around too, Sonja. I spend most of my gaming time here and do a lot of modding - not all of them are published though.

      Thank you Fredlaus. good to see you
      I've only started to explore the Fallout games more recently, and I've really enjoyed them. In a way, I'm pleased I left them as long, because it gives me a whole new universe to explore.
      So far, I've kept the modding for FO3 pretty light.. mostly just visuals, but I'm planning to mod more heavily with a subsequent character.

      Cheers
      My computer was in the shop for a while (needed a new heat sink), and I've been messing about with non Bethesda games too.
      This is actually my first time playing FO3; I figured I'd give it a try after FNV, and so far it's very enjoyable. I'm starting to think I prefer the Fallout franchise over the Elderscrolls. I haven't tried FO4 yet, and from what I gather, opinions on it seem polarised, but I've been watching a couple of Lets Plays, and I will say that at least the vanilla companions have personalities, and there are always 4 dialogue responses.... Not as many as FNV, or FO3... but still more than many of Skyrim's conversation choices.

      FO3 was definitely a fun game to play. It also has some great DLC's. I'm torn between all the Fallout games. Each has something to like and dislike about them.
      I think I still lean more towards TES games though.
      FO4 is not bad. I like it well enough (mostly for the settlement building).

      Indeed; I'm looking forward to seeing Point Lookout, in particular!
      In terms of TES vs Fallout, for me it could even be as simple as a change of pace. Most of the games I've ever played have taken place in a fantasy setting, and for some odd reason I've avoided futuristic/ post-apocalyptic environments, so this is a fun shift. Plus, I guess the Fallout titles inherently have a little more depth... I mean.. given the circumstances, it would be a bit surprising if they didn't, I suppose.
      I'm not sure when I'll give Fallout 4 a shot... I have enough loaded onto my hard drive as it is... But, I am curious to try it at some point.
