I don't know why, but using patch 1.0.0.15 of Fallout 3 and Fake Patch seems more stable than the latest patch.
I'd do Op Anchorage over the main quest for the Power Armour, but make sure you have your house in megaton/pad in tenpenny before finishing it
I kinda have to do it soon. I just used the keys from the Mister Crowley quest to find yet another set of Power Armor I can't wear.
Haha, this sounds exactly like what I'm doing with my current playthrough.
I picked up Charon this time so I can freak out all the smooth-skins wherever I go. But before entering Tenpenny Tower I hooked him up with some Brotherhood power armor to avoid any confusion and I've been wearing my Ranger's set for the AP and small guns advantage.
bump: so is anyone still running around the Wasteland? there's more DLC to come in the form of a quest that takes place entirely on a mothership and a swamp called Point Lookout.
also, I haven't heard much talk of mods here, but does anyone play with mods?
I've been using FOOK (Fallout Overhaul Kit) with Ultimate Power Armor which combined give me an unbelievable amount of extended gameplay with hundreds of new items/weapons and power armor that feels more like the way it should have been. Check it out:

I really feel like the vanilla Fallout 3 was lacking in weapon & armor variety as well as having surprisingly weak stats on the power armor.

Just bumping this thread as i've recently gotten the title and enjoying it.
Looking into the mods mentioned so far and the official add-ons but anyone know any other mods that are worth installing? At the moment i'm not after game changing ones really just improvements as i'd like to finish the game off before i start making sweeping changes to it.

you need to get yourself some FOOK:

it doesn't "change the game," but adds a ton of variety to it. I think the vanilla FO3 doesn't have nearly enough flavor in terms of weapons and armor. this mod adds a sh*tload of new guns and apparel to the world. go to the screenshots tab and take a look.
Finally got around to playing The Pitt & installing Broken Steel & Point Lookout.
BS raises the level cap to 30 apparently so some new perks should be interesting,
although the games really no challenge from 15 onwards so we shall see.
edit// those FOOK links appear dead.
also, 'Mothership Zeta, the last of the five announced downloadable expansions for Fallout 3, will debut on Monday, August 3'

Played through Point Lookout tonight, good times.
Nice to be levelling up again too.

Why can't I seem to get used to this game? The repairing system is so annoying, ammo is scarce, running speed is so slow, etc. I find it far worse than oblivion except the v.a.t.s.
Sorry if I sound like a troll, but I genuinely want to know why some people regard this as the best wrpg they've played.

The repairing system improves as you get better stats, and finding ammo is only rough at the beginning (before long you'll have more ammo in your pocket than two fronts of an African civil war). Never had an issue with the running speed myself, and the whole sandbox exploration bit was always the high point of the game for me.
I can understand the game being jarring at first if you're used to conventional shooters (but if you have a hard time with Fallout3 I invite you to try a game called S.T.A.L.K.E.R., you'll be best friends with F3 in no time). Try playing the game as a jerk, though. Maybe that will improve it a bit for you. It's much easier to raise your levels earlier in the game and become a well rounded fighter/scavenger sooner that way.
I felt the same way. I think I was just playing the game wrong.
It seems like a cool game but can't get into it. Tried it twice and both times I ****ed up. Ran out of ammo and was left with a ****ty baseball bat to fight of ants that breath fire...
Who's going to win...me with a ****ty bat or fire breathing ants?
If I get time I'll try it a third time and see if I can actually get to fun part of the game that people talk about a lot

I have to say that I too got to the fire ants area fairly early in my game. Thankfully I dealt with the mall first and flushed out that school so I had enough gear to make it, it's a tough place I think if your just kinda starting out in the game, id reccomend exploring a bit more first.
Finishing the fire ants quests Is cool though because you pretty much kill them all off never to see them again.

Sorry Mozi but that's pretty funny
In all seriousness you're right, you stand pretty much no chance early on against almost everything so it's important to pick your fights rather than just wading in.
Personally I don't do squat until I've got the shack in Megaton to fall back to
& have collected & sold enough stuff to at least have a fighting chance in the surrounding area.
The Superduper mart mission is a much better bet than the fire ants as there's a lot to loot & it's quite close by - Moria's missions that involve travelling much further are better left until you've levelled up some more.
If you want to level up really fast & get a bunch of very useful kit right away do the Operation Anchorage DLC.
Do you mean that if you start with the DLC right of the bat it's easier to play?
Or is it required that one needs to play the game first before hitting the DLC.
