About this mod
In Fallout 3, the controller itself is fully supported by itself, but the catch with this is, that if you have a controller plugged into a USB port while playing Fallout 3, you can't use console alongside a 360 controller without unplugging the controller, opening the console and typing what you have to, because of Bethesda being Bethesda.
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
tl;dr - Download the mod of your choice, put the files in a folder, open the configuration file with the program you choose, JoyToKey or Xpadder, keep the program open while playing the game.
If using JoyToKey version, make sure in the Options menu in the far right under the Show/Hide Buttons box that "Show all axes (8 way + POV x 4)" is the option selected since it won't work well without that option enabled.
Quick note here, but when you re-load a save game, the sheathe/unsheathe key may sometimes not respond initially when pressing it. So to fix this, all you have to do is hold down the key (X on the 360 controller) for a couple of seconds until the sheathe/unsheathe animation plays out and you'll be good to go. The new and improved way with the new version is you press the X key twice to sheathe and twice to unsheathe, which is faster than how it was normally.
Make sure you have the "Forced Off" option checked off under the Steam Input Per-Game Setting (Requires restart of game) part in the Oblivion Properties on Steam, since the newer versions of Steam act very strangely with the controller configuration that you use for your games and sometimes even uses settings made from someone else that I did not download/want to use for whatever game I'm playing.

In Fallout 3, the controller itself is fully supported by itself, but the catch with this is that if you have a controller plugged into a USB port while playing Fallout 3, you may have realized that you can't use the console alongside a 360 controller without unplugging the controller, opening the console and typing what you have to do in the console window, close it and then plug your controller back in in a rinse and repeat process every time you want these two alongside each other, which is not only a pain in the neck, but also very bad for your USB ports. My file will allow you to use the 360 controller and the console and the same time by tricking Fallout 3 to think that you're using the regular Keyboard/Mouse controls while you're actually using the 360 controller, by utilizing the JoyToKey/Xpadder programs (Which every one you decide to use.)
If you want to use a Wireless Controller, you will need to get a Wireless Gaming Receiver, so you can get to use it on a PC.

In order to do this, you need to install JoyToKey.
http://joytokey.net/en/download
Or buy Xpadder:
http://xpadder.com/
Once you download JoyToKey/buy Xpadder, make a folder called, "JoyToKey" or "Xpadder" and put the files that come with the JoyToKey/Xpadder download into the, "JoyToKey" folder or "Xpadder" folder and put that folder into the install directory where the Fallout3.exe/FalloutLauncher.exe file(s) is located, or on your desktop. Any place it fine, as long as you remember what you named your folder/where you put it.
Once you do that, go to your FALLOUT.INI and make sure these settings are set in your ini:
[Controls]
"bAlwaysRunByDefault=1
bBackground Mouse=0
bBackground Keyboard=0"
(Without the quotation marks)
If these aren't the settings in your ini, the game act all funky/weird if they're set to "=1". (FALLOUT.INI file is located in C:Users/Username/Documents/My Games/Fallout3.
Once you're done doing those things, you can begin to start configuring your preferred settings for your Xbox 360 Controller on JoyToKey/Xpadder.

Note:
In order for this to work, you need to have JoyToKey/Xpadder running in the background while playing Fallout 3. I would recommend minimizing the application when playing Fallout 3 so it doesn't take up space on the desktop.
