FO3 Usermods (many compatible with New Vegas)

I'm pretty sure there are furry mods somewhere out there. That answer your question?

Any mods that add settlement endings?

No clue, but those would have been great...sans lack of Ron Perlman.

I don't recall seeing any fanmade endings. Besides, it kind of seems like the whole quests thing-- even if they have the skill in making the aesthetics, most fan writers aren't worth shit, or at least don't put even a halfassed effort into their work.

The only exceptions are the collaborations where a decent writer is working alongside a decent modeller/skinner/animator.

Main problem with adding quests to Fallout 3 is that, although the spoken dialog has repetitive actors, is that it's somewhat jarring meeting characters that have no voicework at all.

Can't you mod in voicework? I've been thinking of getting FO3 for PC for the mod kit and starting my own massive mod project to turn Fallout 3 into the game it was ment to be.

let's be honest - nobody wants to hear voice acting from 30 year old basement dwellers unless of course they're voicing Myron or his clone (which I wouldn't put past FO3 DLC in the future)

Hammer would have made a great voice actor. He'd play the manliest character in any game.

One solution would be to have the mod turn of all voices and turn on subtitles. So that it's all text.

I'd play a Fallout game with all voices voiced by Ron Perlman.

I'd play any game made in that vain.

While I hear lip-synching is a bitch to do with the toolset, the main roadblock is finding voice talent. Remember how shitty all the voices in my Tactics mod were on account of the fact I voiced everyone but the one female character and one of the male characters?

Dicksmoker has the truth of it, and I was thinking about that as a work-around myself, but disabling spoken dialog in the game is probably more trouble than someone half-assing voice work.

I know a couple people who've got some serious potential. My friend Eric does some really good impressions of both Tom Heartman and Ian McKellen, along with some others.

My brother does the best impersonation of Sean Connery and Scotty.

You could always do like a text-to-voice thing to avoid all voice work. Also I don't think it would matter too much to have a few characters in the game with only text, it was like that in the others too. Important characters had voice and other had text. I wouldn't mind really.

Yeah, heaven forbid I have to read 3 lines of text or something.

Posted: Sat Apr 18, 2009 2:58 pm

That's not the thing - it just doesn't mesh with how the swell guy that made Fallout 3 setup the game.

As a non-native speaker, I actually prefer written English over spoken. I always turn subtitles on from the game's settings and often play games with volume turned so low that I can't make out most of the stuff the characters are saying anyways. I also like the way they did voice acting in, say, Republic or KOTOR for example: you add some incoherent gibberish (space alien language, 'East-European-Russianish'-language...) to play in a loop and the content is written in plain English. It feels like the characters are talking, but the point is to actually read the text. Saves time and money icon_chew

And a lot of gray hair.

I bet he can do a mean "that's thinking with your dipstick Jimmy".
