LadyCrimson Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Having never played Fallout3, I did not realize GECK was essentially the same editor as the one from Morrowind. I mean, I'm sure it's somehow different, but from a user standpoint it feels pretty similar. I hope over the next six months some intrepid souls will make some interesting mods...something beyond color & stat editing and PoV/FoV & houses that most people do. “Things are as they are.

sorophx Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I always wanted a 3D editor based on a shooter to be able to make a small Fallout game. and then BAM, F3's mod tool - the GECK - gets announced, and I'm all hyped up! when it came out, I downloaded it... and yeah, it's just like Morrowind's. except, I couldn't make heads or tails out of Morrowind's Construction Set GECK was no exception. I'm probably just too dumb, but I'll be damned if I managed to make a single house... damn, I hate it when developers don't give any easy to comprehend tutorials along with their tools.

LadyCrimson Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 @sorophx I was able to make houses/caves/items w/NPC's etc. and plop them into the MW, but serious scripting for making a whole new quest area or something was beyond me. The other problem was the editor tends to be so resource-hoggy that it became frustrating. I'd hope that my rig could handle it better now, but I figure the editor has become more hoggy as well, so could be a wash. LOL “Things are as they are.

sorophx Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 well, there's also the fact that GECK wouldn't work for me. any kind of action would just make it crash. but hey, in my eyes you're a modding god right now since you know so much more than I do, with all my motivation (been waiting for a good tool since 1999) Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.

Kaftan Barlast Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Toolkits like GECK are always rubbish to actually build stuff in. What you do is create a house, gun or whatever in 3Ds Max, import that into the editor and place it.

Serrano Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I went to Vault 11 earlier and for a moment towards the end there believed so strongly that "You'll know when it happens" was about to unlock that I thought the achievements system might have been bugged.

Jackalmonkey Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 For a while I left the 'Kill Cam' feature on, because it could actually provide useful feedback in itself - you know that when it's triggered, you're no longer being targeted by enemies and combat is truly over. I was happy to finally turn it off last night. Boone and ED-E, combined with a Charisma of 10*, make for one heck of a kill squad, and combat is a breeze insofar as I even notice it. I pretty much let them handle the bad guys, and pump all my skill points into the 'Good Natured' pool of skills. *Apparently there's something called 'Nerve' in FO:NV, a Charisma-derived statistic that increases the damage or armor of companions. I couldn't find any indication of the mechanic in the manual or the interface, so who knows how it scales or whether 'Nerve' provides percentile or flat bonuses. If anyone has this information, I'd be much obliged! A dull boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Does the game "time played" clock still run even when you hit ESC/pause the game? Because there's no way I've played for over 51 hours. Maybe 30ish at most. But I do have this habit of hitting ESC and walking away from the PC for long periods of time. “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Does Steam clock work if you're offline? I don't think I see a Steam clock number. Anyway, strange. Had the game 7 days, a couple days I played 6-7 hours but the rest more like 4, so it shouldn't be more than 35ish. “Things are as they are.

At least I know I'm not completely losing track of time, then! Loaded up the last save game (left side), immediately hit ESC, went away, came back, hit ESC to re-enter the game then saved to a new slot (right side) Edited October 28, 2010 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.
