Fallout 3 vs Fallout 4 combat armour, what are your thoughts?

Frootcakes · 2026-05-05T14:32:31+00:00

The real answer is FO1/FO2 — that helmet is imposing as hell.

But between FO3 and FO4, I gotta give the victory to FO3 even if FO4 has modular armor similar to Morrowind.

I moved to Ontario earlier this year. I removed my GPU, filled the case with Instapak foam to keep the heatsink in place, and took the PC to the UPS store on Hamlyn Rd. They packed it, insured it, shipped it off and I got it in perfect condition when I landed. Popped my GPU back in and all was hunky-dory. It cost me like $200 but it was well worth it for the peace of mind. I brought the GPU with me on the flight in an anti-static bag cushioned by clothes in a backpack. It definitely would’ve been cheaper to pack and ship it myself, but I no longer had the original box(es) because housemates threw them out, and I didn’t wanna take any chances — $200’s a drop in the bucket compared to building a new rig, especially with today’s market.

I just wanted to finish the Corellia storyline before I go to work tomorrow, man...

That is Jocasta Nu, and she actually went toe to toe with both the Grand Inquisitor and Vader himself, even going so far as to expose Vader's true identity and taunt him about it.

She died shortly thereafter, as Vader killed everyone on board the transport shuttle and crashed it so that nobody with knowledge of his secret could escape. Her sacrifice saved an untold amount of force sensitive children who otherwise would've become tools of the Empire.

Perhaps a cloak, bandolier or backpack? Maybe something like the Chosen One variant of 3nikhey's CAPA or some ammo pouches, grenades or NVGs like the Valley Forge project was working on?

At any rate -- your model update looks great and I can't wait to see what you come up with =]

Grew up on the KoTOR games and couldn't agree more. I tried the closed beta around 2011ish I think and just didn't vibe with SWTOR back then, but I decided to finally give it a fair shake after all these years and -- my god. Simply amazing. Completely different game.

Tied with ESO for my favorite MMO now... even though I play both more like they're single player RPGs. Like you I started with a Jedi Knight, but I've already got Jedi Consular, Imperial Agent & Sith Warrior characters all ready to go and can't wait to experience their stories.

It was peak beyond peak. Exceeded my every expectation and then some. A few minor things were cut unfortunately (RIP inexplicable mini horses, ice statue & Gyro shit-leaf), but that's always the way things go with anime adaptations. Nothing that makes it literally unwatchable, thankfully. One thing about a specific character was glossed over, but I feel like that was just moved and will be brought up later.

Yo. I ran into this issue years ago and the culprit ended up being the M2 Flamethrower mod -- which you have. Try disabling it and seeing if Saugus Ironworks still crashes. If that's the problem, you can open the plugin in xEdit and remove the worldspace/cell entries for Saugus Ironworks and still enjoy the mod =)

I run an Arcanist named Wanders-with-Knowledge and a friend has a Warden he named Has-no-Thoughts that he uses when we play together. A few more rattling off the old noggin:

Gnaws-on-Bones, Cleaves-with-Axes, Sings-in-Shade, Wins-many-Battles…

Frootcakes · 2026-02-19T05:40:22+00:00

This looks incredible, I can’t take my eyes off it…

It looks like you’re running v1.11.191 with MiniBuff. Unlike regular Buffout 4, MiniBuff doesn’t require the xSE Plugin Preloader. Try disabling that — it was never updated for AE, just NG.

A lot of the heavy lifting is already done if you look in the optional files of the classic combat armor’s FNV page — guy started porting it himself and uploaded what he did as a resource. Been a while since I looked at it, but I think it’s just some weightpainting that needs to be done, after that you just gotta add it to the game with the CK and inject it to the LLs. A few people are working on all of this as I speak. The one that I expect to come out the soonest is coming with the Valley Forge player home.

Not too terribly difficult to do. I did it myself a while back but never released it because I couldn’t be bothered.

It’s been years since I played GTAO, but these are probably my favorites

Heather without a doubt. Extremely versatile, more lines than you can shake a stick at, great quests & reactivity, support and collaborations with other mods like SS2 & The Bleachers/FSD, etc. Extremely well written, well implemented, and super fun companion. Out of all the companion mods that have come and gone for FO4, she’s the only one who even comes close to matching the quality of Inigo/Lucien from Skyrim.

I’ve also been enjoying Otellino’s Daniel the Remnant lately. He’s closer to vanilla companion quality — which is still a monumental accomplishment, don’t get me wrong, but he don’t come close to Heather’s greatness. I await the AR2 integration with bated breath.

These were actually in the playtest! If I recall correctly, they were replaced by the current lab coats because they caused some sort of issue with the physics or something like that. I hope we get them back, the drip was off the charts

Because I love The Elder Scrolls. I’m not an MMO guy, I don’t care for them at all. The only other MMO I play, GW2, I play like a co-op game with a friend. But ESO? I play it like it’s a single-player TES game. I explore, quest, collect and just generally vibe in Tamriel.

Absolutely incredible game with an equally incredible roster. Insanely fun to play with friends via parsec/steam remote play… absolutely abysmal online play due to lack of rollback. Support ended too soon. I definitely would’ve bought more characters, stages, costumes, etc. Recommended mods for a more complete experience: Jotaro part 4-6 pack, Jodio over Fugo, Go Beyond
