Hackerpcs Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 So I want to replay Fallout 3 but I don't want to play New Vegas as I recently played it and have a working Fear and Loathing install. Should I install Fallout 3 through the Clear and Present guide or go in the TTW way through the Adonis' guide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelmych Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 TTW includes a lot of FNV so you might prefer the CPD guide since it’s FO3 only. For now don’t clean Bethesda ESMs since more info on this will be added soon. Reading the TTW guide might provide useful info even if you aren’t using it.

Hackerpcs Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) My last replay of FO3 was at launch in 2008 so I have really bad memories of hundreds of crashes so my question is mainly on stability, if the newer version of the FNV engine can be more stable and I can ignore the FNV content completely Edited November 13, 2017 by Hackerpcs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantSP Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 While it is true the FNV engine is a more stable one than the FO3 engine, installing TTW is not just a case of playing FO3 in FNV. There are a LOT of cosmetic and gameplay changes, some away from vanilla, that needed to be made. Balance, gun/ammo choices, creature strengths, armour ratings etc. that are very different from vanilla FO3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackerpcs Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 ​Hm I see, I will go to FO3 way then as I seek the original feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelmych Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 The first playthroughs of FO3 I did years ago had a lot of stability problems. I have had far fewer problems in the games using the mods and utilities in the CPD guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSDFan Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Has anyone played the GOG version of FO3? Just wondering if it is more stable without the Windows live and DRM components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audley Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 The GOG version is far more stable than the Steam version. I am roughly 4 hours in, and have not had a crash yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackerpcs Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) I was referring to the retail version of 2009 GOTY (which I have 2 copies, I though I had the launch v1 and GOTY), I don't have it on Steam It is Securom protected afaik Edited November 15, 2017 by Hackerpcs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audley Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 While I have never used the disk version of the game, I assume it's similar to the Steam version (without Steam obviously). In all honesty, the GOG version seems much more stable than the other versions. No fiddling with GFWL or 4GB stuff. If you can afford it, it is highly recommended to grab the GOG version. Or wait until it's on sale (probably this Christmas). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSDFan Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 At one point GOG offered free versions of some games if you had them in Steam through GOG connect. I grabbed what I had, just never played any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
