Probably not, but Windows 7 has sold me. I’ve proved Bethesda wrong by them saying Fallout 3 is not compatible with 7.<\/p>\n
Not only is it compatible, but it’s more stable than it ever has been when I had XP. So far I’ve had not one<\/strong> BSOD or lock up. This isn’t the best thing since sliced bread. But it’s just as awesome.<\/p>\n EDIT: I said I wasn’t going to do it until I got close to completing the main quest, but I finally did it; installed the GOTY edition to get the DLCs installed. I was confident enough my computer was stable to handle them.<\/p>\n I played Point Lookout. Nothing like new areas to explore, and new enemies to kill. But as the boat guy said, they make the Super Mutants look like Radroaches. Something like that anyway. If it’s not like that, that’s how I put it.<\/p>\n Anyway, it’s a great DLC. But I’m not typing this to talk about the fun I had with them. This is about how stable Fallout 3 is with the DLCs installed. However there was more lock ups on the horizon. This one was in The Pitt. Though I can’t remember what I was doing at the time. I shrugged it off by saying “it locked up before in The Pitt with my lock up issue”.<\/p>\n The next lock up happened after I set the nukes to destroy the huge satellite, that I was inside of, in Broken Steel. And now we have two lock ups that happened just today! Joy.. I swear they’re becoming more frequent now. Next one was attempting to trigger the Head of State quest. Was approaching the gate out of the subway to The Mall. Inches before I got there, BAM.<\/p>\n And the latest was trying to help the idiotic group of slaves to the Lincoln Memorial. Yes, you can completely bypass this but I wanted to protect them. I was bored. \ud83d\ude1b "FUCK IT" I said. Then I tried reloading my save and tried going the correct<\/strong> way to the memorial. Met a Super Mutant Overlord under this overpass infront of us. Killed it. Tried to loot the body.. BAM again!<\/p>\n UGH! I don’t know what’s more annoying. Hannibal going the wrong way, or my computer acting like the lock up issue is back! There was also this time I was listening to GNR while following along side the slow-ass slave group. Listening to Three-Dog as he was doing one of his Public Service Announcements when I noticed a few Feral Ghouls next to a highway pillar. They engaged. We killed them. But before I could say “What are Feral Ghouls doing up here?”, Three-Dog did his “And now, some music…” and it was silence. Pure silence.<\/p>\n Checked my iPip Player. Same thing. That old lady’s violin station, same thing! Restarting the game fixed it.<\/p>\n . What’s worse, and I hope it’s not related to Fallout 3. My own god damn screen saver locked my system up once!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Probably not, but Windows 7 has sold me.

\nI have completed the Wasteland Survival Guide. I got GNR to sing all over the Capital Wasteland. I took care of the AntAgonizer and the Mechanist. I got Ivan back to Arefu during the Blood Ties quest. And now I’m going to Vault 92 to get that violin for that sweet old lady so she can play her music.<\/p>\n
\nIn Point Lookout, as I was playing spy games, I went into the sub. A few seconds after it loaded came my first SYSTEM LOCK UP.
\nI tried to wave it off as a first time thing. Since it didn’t happen again for quite sometime. AKA I made it through the other DLCs fine.<\/p>\n
\nWhen I attempted to escape, and the Virdibird came, tried to get in.. BAM!<\/p>\n
\nHannibal was going the wrong fucking way. Checked my map and he was leading the group RIGHT BACK TO THE FUCKING START POINT!! D:<
\nI yelled at them, and standing infront of the confused, lost idiot of an NPC, only for him to just walk right past me. They met an Albino Radscorpion and "Quest FAILED" showed up.<\/p>\n
\nAnd if that’s not bad enough, there was this one time I was going under this gap in this building, my FPS tanks, music studdering. It wasn’t the fact it made it unplayable, but I could feel the “What in the fuck is this?! My computer surpasses the recommended
\nrequirements! It should NOT be studdering!!”
\nAt least restarting the game fixed it.<\/p>\n
\n.
\nI just don’t understand. Without the DLCs, I had NO problems. Not one! When I had XP, I couldn’t even get past the Super-Duper Mart without a BSOD, and this was with no DLCs on top of it.
\nThis time, it doesn’t BSOD. It just flat-out locks the system up, forcing me to manually restart. But it doesn’t do it at level load anymore.<\/p>\n
