There were TWO games for GC that had K in them. SF: Adventures (need!) and SF: Assault (have).

[Xananos]

Assault's the one I'm talking about. Just grab a GC emulator and dig up Adventures. It was a reasonably popular title, so I think it shouldn't be too hard to find.

So now I have an Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT 1GB video card. (Can only say that by looking at the box. lol)
Working Fallout 3's working great and I figured out how to get mods working on it, which is great.
I was wondering, though. If you see a skin mod you want that changes the player but you want it to change someone else instead, can you do that? Because I'd like to play as myself and have these skin mods for other characters in the game.

[DemonFiren]

@Xananos: Yeah, but in Assault you can't have frag grenades, needlers or the dreaded human pistol.
@Atemisc: You might need the GECK for that.

[Atemisc]

But if I'm a complete computer retard, will I be able to use it? Or is it idiot proof?

[DemonFiren]

You'll need to learn its use. And even I am but a novice there.

[Atemisc]

Then I'll probably play around with it sometime and see what I can figure out on it first and then if I get used to it, I'll try to see if I can do it.

[DemonFiren]

Best of luck!

[EDIT]
Changing topic, another Bethesda game: TES IV - Oblivion. Maybe some of you know the 'Friends and Lovers' mod (I'm using v1.32 Eng) for the game (if not: TEH PR0NZ.) which I consider to be one of the better x-edits. Sadly, mine does not work, even though I have the latest version of OBMM, OBSE and updated Oblivion to 1.2.0416. Also, I've tried runnin' it in admin mode (Vista user, meh) and it still didn't work.

Precise desc: Disposition check and all work fine, but once I get to a quiet little spot for my char and his partner and select a position, nothing happens. Dialogue over and I can move normally.

I had the same kind of problem (with the sound, voice, text, and movement working but no animation) in Fallout 3 with the Prostitute mod even though I reinstalled it twice and checked and rechecked my stuff and watched videos of what to do on Youtube....needless to say it irritated me so i took the mod out.

[DemonFiren]

FO3 works fine here with the AP mod AND AP:Reanimated.

[Xananos]

I was just wondering when I should activate the DLCs. Obviously before game over, but, any specific time they HAVE to get done? Any info would be appreciated. I can't help that I'm lazy, but I'll google it if nobody wants to be a kind soul.

[Csbears]

Geico 15 seconds surfing the internet could save you 15 hours or more. ( teh lols )

No i don't think theirs any set time that you need to activate them (obviously like you said before the games over) but the new guns, weapons, and added bonuses do come in real handy around the wasteland. Myself i did the DLC stuff first (to get all the extra equipment and store it in my house for later use -- not to mention the extra levels gained) and then went on with my spree of pwning deathclaws. BOOM! HEAD SHOT *echos* *looks over at my UT box and smiles* TRIPLE KILL! RAMPAGE! xD

[daipingan]

Despite everything though, the best melee weapon remains a pyromaniac's shishkebab. That thing is nothing short of brutal.

Too bad they cut out Pa's Fishing Aid, though. Now that would have been a real fun toy. And by 'fun toy' I mean 'weapon that is fully capable of one-shotting super mutant overlords'

[Xananos]

Mmm, I'm playing on the computer, so I took all of the VATS accuracy and crit perks I could, and downloaded a mod for universal headshot damage increase (Something like 5x. Scary when you insta-die, but that's what I wanted.), so I can kill a lot of things with a sneak attack critical and a shotgun.

[DemonFiren]

I modded the railway rifle for pinpoint accuracy and light-speed bolts. Also, I've added extra force to the projectiles, so the target gets flung five meters on hit. To make it less god-moddy, I've decreased the weapon's health and clip size (latter to 1). Still. Everything below Sentry Bot with one shot sneak kill...NICE.

[Xananos]

Ngh, haven't modded any accuracy, really. Just made the game harder, which I wanted. Evil radiation, each level dropping all SPECIAL by 1, crippling is really... crippling. Half move speed on legs, blur on head, strength reduction on arms, knockback on torso. All kinds of fun stuff.

Also, you should be able to sneak attack kill any turret in about two shots in VATS... I manage with a hunting rifle.

[Atemisc]

Only thing I cheated on for the game was with the console command to instalevel. All the way to level 44. I have all skill stats at 100 except for Unarmed. I can't use the instalevel command anymore or I'll get stuck on the screen since I'll have everything at 100 and still have points left over. But oh well.
I'm finally figuring mods out a bit. Seems the reason I was having troubles with them before was that I didn't get the latest patch. Now mods work pretty well. Been working on getting skins for the girls in the game. And I got a little strip bar that you can go to from a little ways near Fairfax Ruins. lol

[Xananos]

Good for you! I find instalevel cheats only satisfying when I'm completely bored with a game (like in Oblivion), and I need to be a demigod. I loved level 100 Acrobatics and jumping on top of houses and shit. Less satisfying on Fallout, but still fun. Though I'm still quite content progressing normally.

[toddymon]

i...i just beat tower of heaven. finally. i did it. i did it. *begins to glow and slowly ascends to the sky* i did iiiiiiiiiiit.

[Atemisc]

I beat Fallout 3 all the way through on both the 360 and PS3 before now, so I'm not worried about instaleveling in this playthrough. This one's all about screwin' around anyways, hence the mods. lol
