PATCH NOTES: FALLOUT 3
Bug Fixes
- Removed a bug that was forcing the game into a first-person perspective. Everything should now be working just fine in the 2D sidescroller format that we intended.
- The door that leads out of the vault you start out in was not opening due to a glitch, making it impossible for players to progress beyond the introduction. We added a "DOOR'S BROKE" sign to the adjacent wall so people don't waste their time trying to find some alternate way of opening it.
- Fixed an error in the rendering engine that was replacing ash and crumbling concrete with grass and spotless sidewalks/roads.
New/Reworked Perks
- Adamantium Skeleton: When you are defeated and consumed by cannibals, they will nod in approval and whistle at your impressively shiny skeleton.
- Animal Friend: Does away with the limit of cats you can keep, provided your character spends the rest of the game wearing a floral housecoat in a bombed-out apartment.
- Bloody Mess: Now causes enemies to explode in gibs when struck. The previous version of this perk has been removed, along with all references to sanitary pads.
- Computer Whiz: Allows your character to instantly determine whether the object he or she is looking at is a computer.
- Rad Resistance: You are 50% more likely to resist the sexual advances of radiated mutants.
Gameplay
- Added analog control to your character's drinking animation, making it possible to avoid molecules of radiation by maneuvering your cup very carefully.
- New armor for your dog companion: Put socks on his paws, watch him go!
- Utilizing V.A.T.S. is great for bringing battles to a standstill while you aim at specific parts of your enemy, and now you can use this exciting mechanic during conversations. Simply enable V.A.T.S. while talking to an NPC and both of you will pause, look around, and shuffle your feet as the silence lingers. Then, target a specific direction and your character will hook his thumb towards it while saying "Look, I've got something to do... over there, so.."
- Shooting 100 bottles from a distance without missing increases your Waste Precious Ammo skill by 10.
- While purchasing an item from a vendor, you now have the option of throwing your bottlecaps at his/her face. Get one in the mouth, win your item for free.
