I truly appreciate the masterpiece editing here for being 14 yrs ago. Its videos like yours that have me revisiting classic games rather than not even trying. 💯
Who's playing in 2024? Edit: So looking at my hours on Fallout games, and I'm not sure how or what they say about me 🤣 FO3 - 2318 hours FO NV - 1857 hours FO4 - 1350 hours FO76 - 28 hours 🤣 though I'm looking at trying it out again, if it has improved like some say..
Just started a new play through. After playing through NV and going back to 3 you realize 3 defense has some teeth. Its a much more difficult wasteland.
Anybody here in quarantine 2020 firing this game up again to pass the time? And who would thumbs down this video? It's just one man's opinion on the best build, with a pretty thorough explanations of what the key skills do. Well done dude.
Man, I actually feel kind of nostalgic about this video. Had so many hours of fun with this game. I feel like I need to play some fallout 3 or new vegas now.
Perfect guide tbh. I’m no rookie to fallout 3 but I wanted a refresher because I just purchased it on steam for $7 and I wanted to relive it and also complete an old goal I never finished which was collect all the skills magazines then activate the perk that allows for double points every time you use a skills magazine. I had a ton of them and was almost ready to do it when I lost my saved data. Now will finally accomplish this feat.
I know I’m extremely late to say anything on this video but I would like to say this this guide is comprehensive & detailed while we as players may not make a perfect character at any point in time to know how to make them stronger quicker and more useful is helpful to anyone regardless of playstyle this guide deserves all of its likes and views William strife you sir are an amazing RPG player and know your stuff the fact you chose to make a video on this means you care for these games i give you respect for your prowess and knowledge in the games you play
Just picked up the game again after many years of not playing. This video is 14 years old and is STILL the best (non-glitch/exploit) guide of any that I've come across. Great job. I've never heard of you, but I hope you're still making vids.

I'll take the liberty of updating this. It sets out very important points such as the significance of Intelligence, but with Broken Steel the level cap is 30 now and with it came a whole host of perks, and more. First off, at level 30 you can choose the perk Almost Perfect- raising every SPECIAL stat to 9. Due to this there are a few things to note. Do not take No Weaknesses at level 24 (26?) ever, which raises every point to 5. It's overshadowed entirely by AP. Also, take no SPECIAL bobble heads except for Intelligence (you set it to 9, right?). That way when you reach 30 and take AP, you can collect every SPECIAL bobble head for a perfect 10 in all 7 stats. Also, due to this perk, Intense Training is nigh-useless. Get Lady Killer/Black Widow at level 2, then IT at level 3, simply because all the other options suck. Put IT wherever you wish, but I'd put it in charisma, which should always be set to 1 due to its uselessness (you can just save before a conversation and try over and over and over to win the speech check, and sometimes you don't even need to pass the check). Once level 4 is reached, the available perks aren't terrible, so no longer is IT needed. A very useful tip- in the Operation Anchorage expansion, upon completing the simulation you gain the Power Armor Training perk, and access to the armory, which contains many useful items including the godly Winterized T-51b Power Armor. Winterized T-51b is unique because while not the strongest armor available (which would be the normal T-51b set or Enclave Hellfire power armor), it is the simulation version. Meaning it's the version you encounter when in the simulation, not the real-wasteland version intended for use. The sim version has a hitpoint count so high it almost doesn't degrade at all, and since you get Power Armor Training too it can easily carry you through the whole game. Also when I stated it wasn't the strongest, it's second place, still stronger than any other power armor aside from standard T-51b and Enclave Hellfire. Some tips he didn't mention due to it being for the early game I'll also list: Big Guns is the most useless skill as weapons classified as such are few and far in between, and likely never used by players, and if so, not used often. Charisma should be set to 1, just as Intelligence is set to 9. I'd spread these extra 5 points between the remaining skills but give a little bonus to Agility- Action Points are very useful as VATS is broken in FO3 especially with Grim Reaper's Sprint (level 20 perk, absolutely essential). Wasteland Survival Guide is an excellent quest that shows you many parts of the Wastes, gives you plenty of XP, and bestows a very handy perk upon you. Go for all the bonus objectives! Prioritize eating your food before using Stimpaks- rads aren't too much of a problem until you get over 400, and by that point you should have acquired plenty of RadAways. Save your caps to buy the My First Infirmary for your living space- it heals you to full health, maxes out all limbs, and flushes you completely of radiation. This lets you conserve even more stims and radaways. That's all I feel like saying for now, oh yeah also remember to upgrade Lockpick and Science whenever possible to maximize access. Nothing hurts like an expedition stopped short because of a Very Hard lock.
Great guide! I don't suppose you can break it down for my dumbass though? That's a LOT take in haha. I wanna go back to Fallout 3 and have a perfect run! I hate missables.
If you missed it at the start there is a quest called "trouble on the homefront" that you can get by going near the vault and looking for an emergency radio coming from the vault, listen to it and you are given the quest, you can then enter the vault again to complete it.
+Mister Fish If you had fun and "roleplayed" (which is not necessarily synonymous with overpowering your character as much as possible) you did it right! And if you fallowed this instruction and overpowered your character to the extreme, and still had fun... you also did it right! The only way you could have messed up your first character was, when you didn't have fun.
10 years later and still the best resource :D , Funny how I remember watching this back in the day and now I'm returning many years later to watch this lovely familiar old 360p video on my 4k screen. Oh how times have changed.
Love how precise and straight to the point this guy is. I've had Fallout 3 for years and never got into it, then the show dropped and put me in the mood. These videos have been a big help.
I love it when you get a bonus game for purchasing a physical copy of the latest in the series. For example I got "Just Cause 2" for buying a physical copy of "Just Cause 3" and "Fallout 3" for buying "Fallout 4". I just love that shit man, two for one deal, and now I can make my perfect, godly character in fallout 3 as well.
I recently picked up Fallout 3 again and finally finished it, and now I just stumbled upon your lovely guide. Really great work! The only thing i did wrong was not to get the int bobblehead right away, but I got all the stats I need to 100, so no loss there. ;) Thanks for your effort, the people who skill intelligence probably know to appreciate it. =P
I can't believe this game is 12 years old already. My advice is to get explosives and repair high quickly to do two quests in Megaton: defusing the bomb and repairing the pipes. This will open up the Megaton house and allow selling scrap metal to Walter. (Also, the Strength bobblehead is in Lucas Simms' house.) Another good thing for deciding on your other SPECIALs is to find out what the minimums are (usually 4 or 6) for perks you want to get later. Lastly, there are some good items for boosting stats: Shady Hat for perception and sneak, Lucky Shades for luck, Ranger armor for small guns and luck, Button's Wig for intelligence, etc.
On my very first play-through, I enjoyed the use of Melee Weapons since it was nearly on a whole new level compared to other open-world games. By the mid of the game I collected large amounts of ammo of each kind. This is useful, but then again, I never knew about the Gary 23 exploit in the Operation Anchorage DLC. While some may consider this as "cheating", it adds a large amount of enjoyment to the game due to un-degradable weapons, armor, and mass amounts of ammo without Console Commands. In this glitch (which you can read about in the Fallout Wiki), you can take all items from the simulation with you to the Wasteland. To gain a very large amount of ammo, simply use the Ammo Resupply in the simulation to resupply your ammo, drop the ammo gotten, and keep repeating until you have a large amount on the ground. Here, you can pick it all up and can have a nearly unlimited supply. Sort of lengthy time-wise, but is very useful. In the simulation, you can also make an attempt to obtain very unique or rare items by pickpocketing or other methods, but this is for people who have no reason to do it than taking a challenge. Note that this may or may not be a reason to skip out on the Barter skill early in the game due to weapons that barely degrade and the large ammo amounts. In return, this exploit will most likely be of must use along with the Small Guns skill and the Repair Skill to improve the damaged weapons you find on enemies and allies in the simulation (or not, since you can go find Haley in Point Lookout and visit him multiple times in order for his repair skill to go to 100 due to the fact that he improves his own repair abilities every time you visit his shop after loading a Quicksave). I do not support the use of cheats/glitches, but I recommend it for those who like to have another play-through without going into the hassle of constantly buying and scavenging ammo. For those of you who also need a large amount of caps as well, simply take larger amounts of AR or Shotgun ammo and sell them to merchants in the Wasteland.
I'm about to start playing, and wanted to get a bit of a head start. I'm so glad I found this! It's very professional and helpful, so keep it up and thanks a lot! C:
This guide was amazing. Wish I knew about it years ago. lol Anyway, I only have one thing to say, which I always tell people who ask advice about this game: Strength is NOT necessary and should be lowered to 1 on character creation, unless you are purposely making an entirely melee character (both difficult and crazy). Spend the extra 4 points elsewhere, ideally, perception, luck or charisma. Also, for a more realistic and fun gameplay, and to allow for buffing tag skills even more at character creation, I suggest trying out low endurance (1-3) when building a character. This is not only a fun way of creating challenge and realism, but it allows for even stronger tag stats. Perhaps the funnest, most practical, most realistic build (in my opinion), is to set SPECIAL stats as follows: STR: 1 PER: 8 END: 1 CHR: 8 INT: 8 AGL: 8 LCK: 6 The first chance you get, use intense training to set luck to 7. Luck works best at odd numbers (read the guide, luck is fractional) and there is no need to go above 8 on any skills because of the Broken Steel DLC and the "near perfect" perk, the bubbleheads, and the STR/PER buffs from quests. This build literally makes you the strongest you can possibly be early game. Don't grab SPECIAL bubbleheads until you grab the "Almost Perfect" perk though, unless you are opting out of that perk, in which case grab the bobbles immediately and change LCK to 5 and add one to INT.
At first thought this was ridiculous, but after some thought it wasn’t too bad, but still a few problems Due to low endurance and strength, no Strong back or toughness perks. These are both rather nice perks I’d rather not go without Low starting health Way too high charisma. This could be a nice build if you just toned down charisma for endurance or something. Low luck. I think it is high enough to get all related perks, but you still will have 4% less crit chance until you get to level 30 and at that point the game is over anyway.
It's still useful because you can cap at least 2 or 3 more skills than if you didn't take it. Plus with almost perfect at 30 you're pretty much a God after you get all the bobble heads. But I agree it's not as powerful as it was when the cap was 20.
@@yourfriendlyneighbourhoodl6206 I really love this build: S - 9 P - 1 (you can rise it to 2 with the grayditch quest), all in all you won't need that high perception. E - 9 C - 1 (a bit less caps in early game, but since you have more carry weight it evens it out) I - 9 A - 2 (rise it to 4 with intense training) L - 9 It might seem dramatic but it's my favorite.
this is the first vid I've seen of you and I love your voice. The way everything is described in the vid also tells me how much effort you put into this. Please if you haven't already do a oblivion perfect character guide or guides for each type of character
I agree. But he got a lot wrong. Maxing out melee and getting the pyromaniac perk with the Shishkebab sword can one hit kill a super mutant. Big guns are fun too.
Actually, the best course of action is to go into Megaton, talk to Moira about her book. The first chapter includes a section for gaining a buttload of radiation. You can do that by swimming the Patomic River down to Rivet City to get the INT bobblehead (and better supply shops than Craterside). Not to mention you can stop at some places to set map markers for future fast traveling. You will encounter the least amount of enemies that way as well. I've taken the southern route mentioned in this video to travel to Arlington Library. There is no shortage of enemies that will stop your progress and a level 2 will with only a 10mm pistol and minimum stimpacks likely get destroyed easily.
Thanks dude the guide was awesome. Just played Fallout for the initial 3 hrs, but after seeing this video I will start from the beginning and follow your advice. thanks once again mate.
People probably already know this but put some points into explosives before you go to megaton if your doing a more good character so you can disarm the bomb and with some speech skill you can get caps out of it and get a house
When I first bought this years ago I couldn't get into it, but after many more RPGs and a few Fallout 4 play throughs I feel like I can finally appreciate this game properly. Now to decide how to use these extra points...
Dude, I messed up hard first time I ever played... I was like, well I doubt I'll ever really use big guns so there's no need to be prepared. Then I stumbled my dumbass into DC and learned real quick what a Super Mutant was! lmao. I pulled out my FatBoy and couldn't hit the giant target running towards me. Granted I was hiding shitless behind my couch hahah... but STILL! Whenever I run into a super mutant I sacrifice someone.... unless it's Dogmeat.. :D
I remember the first time I played too. I was too afraid to leave Megaton because of those fucking Molerats outside. I almost shit my pants the first time I tried to leave Megaton and a giant mutated rat came sprinting straight for me. lol
People keep talking about bugs... I'm like what bugs?? I never had a problem with the game... only something cool would happen.. like bodies would hover in the sky. That's cool with me! :D
Who else is playing fallout 3 for the 9th time? Dude fallout 3 and fallout newvegas will always be the games I never forget. The memories and feelings these games gave me as a kid were unreal. There were my escape from life.
I haven't tried this because with Broken Steel installed the level max is 30. Something I did try instead was going for Operation Anchorage at level 2. I was level 6 at the end, with both the Winterized T-51b Power Armor and the Chinese Stealth Suit to choose from, ready to begin the Wasteland Survival Guide. Did minefield in full stealth, leaving Arkansas alive in case I want to collar him for Paradise Falls later. And on the way I picked up Dogmeat and the Alien Blaster, so the Behemoth at GNR Plaza should be a breeze at level 10.
I still play Fallout 3 and New Vegas today and i can't understand why i never get bored while playing the game, feel like every dungeon, quest and every single time i walk around makes me have the feel like i have never done it before. I could see the effort and love put in the game by it's producers. The feeling is the same from back when i was 14 and played this masterpiece fresh bought after watching a trailer on a review channel, even trought i really tought that the game was "odd" and too gloomy and dark at first i decided to buy, after playing it for hours i could understand and love the Fallout franchiese, and learned many usefull things from the game. Now, almost 5 years later this is still one of my favorite title. It's a shame what Fallout had became with Fallout 76, a game that could clearly have a true potential in making a multiplayer experience in the Fallout Universe, but they were too effortless, greedy and put no love in their work, only cared about the grind. They should go back to their old titles and learn how to make good games once again.
6:43 Swimming to Rivet City is a lot easier. You'll pick up some radiation, but you can then fast-travel back to Megaton and have Moira cure all your radiation as part of the Wasteland Survival Guide quests.
The only thing they ruined (yet some will disagree) is the options you can make for when your character has a voice, this is why I like 3 and New Vegas
I’ve watched your new vegas video on this for my first play through And I definitely wanted to watch this version of the same video It was very informative and suppppper helpful and made the play through very enjoyable
just found this game at goodwill for 3 bucks and it's the goty and the game stop edition with all the posters. never have played it but I can't turn that down
@Celery Sorry for the late response, but yes I do 😂 I come back to this game time to time. For some reason the newer games nowadays ain't hitting the same for me. So I come back playing NV, and FO3 and so on.
I just reloaded this game and slapped in about 300 mods (mainly to fix bugs, make it look better and add more locations for giggles. Dug out my old spreadsheets to do this. If you plan to use comprehension and collect all the skill books, your Int can be as low as 4. I run mine at 6 just for different perks.
Almost 15 years later, I finally choose to continue with Fallout series by playing Fallout 3. I didn't know that there are only 20 levels, and I'm now around level 8-9, and my character is pretty gimped xD I guess I'll just start over =)
I agree with everything you said besides the melee weapons, the dips with a lead pipe and the ripper is just amazing to take out super mutants with, great guide though
good guide, BUUUT what i like to do is lower my skills i know i wont be using, and boost the ones i know i will. Ive been play for a long time on fallout and i just made a melee dude (recommended only for ex. players) and i lowered my agility to 1, and my charisma to 1, only because i know i wont be using either and it gives me more to put in strength and endurance (after my intelligence is up to 9). also, i enjoy not using stem packs or rad away, and only actually eating the food you scavenge for, finding water fountains, and only sleeping in beds i find, unless missions i do lead me naturally to megaton (or tenpenny tower). also, i havent been repairing any weapons, when it degrades, i go an explore until i find another melee weapon, and ill stick with that one no matter what it is to make the game alot more challenging and fun, at least to me.
Also being a melee character can get you rich quick as you would just sell all weapons and ammo you find. I disagree with you about repair though. It is very beneficial to increase it as it keeps your equipment in good condition and helps the equipment you sell for more caps.
this game and new Vegas are damn amazing. I'm still playing today as of a modded playthrough. sometimes I burn out on the game, but 1 year later I come back to the wasteland to experience it all over again. mods are also amazing...
After playing this game many years later, I thought I would be bored with all the walking and looting. Turns out, it's still as fun as it used to be! I'm playing just on EASY, and it's kinda hard! VERY fun to play stealthy sometimes for the one shots. Can't help myself to check every trash and desk and filing cabinet either way. I almost have enough missles to break my missle launcher ;)
@@marcuscain1377 The big guns book spawns on I believe a bandit in the Bethesda Ruins, who respawns with the book on them, as for the science, I can't remember, but it says it somewhere on the wiki
I've always loved the Elder Scrolls game. Today, for the first time, I bought Fallout 3. Never played before. So gonna really dig into your videos for a while
This is pretty much for begginers. Fallout 3 is to actually make the character work. If you want to make a medicine/explosive character or unarmed/repair/Sneak etc. There are enough resources to make the character you want to make and enough directions and landmarks that require you to have certain skills(all of them included). There is no perfect character. Just learn to make the character that is interesting to you and find a way to make him work . -M
Thanks man. Really clear, concise and well reasoned advice. I just got the GOTY edition on Steam so I'm starting my second playthrough - and using some mods on it for the first time. This video'll really help set me up for a fun playthrough :)
The first 2 are very nostalgic for me and I feel Bethesda did the series right with fallout 3 I felt the same playing this for the first time as I did so many years ago playing the first
So wait if luck raises your skill on .5 scale why don't you want to use it? Is it one of those thing where you either wanna use intelligence or luck but not both cause they cancel each other out in a sense?
intelligence offers about twice as many skill points at level 20 than luck. like strife said at level 20 with 5 intel and the educated perk you can an additional 137 extra skill points but with 4 luck and the educated perk you only gain about 76 extra skill points and with about 40 of those points distributed to 9 perks they shouldn't be on. 5 intel makes you a Demi-god, 4 luck makes you a jack-of-all-trades(aka decent at everything).
Damn this video was made 15 years ago, close to 16 (about 3 months+ to December 3rd). I envy you guys to have known a lot about this game a decade ago. I only got the chance (finally) to finish this game this year. I've played it before about 30 hours but never completed it. Now that I'm close to helping Sentinel Lyons finish the final task with the purifier, it made me realize just how late I was to this game compared to most of you lol
Nice vid but a bit dated. This doesn't include Broken Steel, which increases the level cap to 30, or Operation Anchorage's early high-end weapons and Chinese stealth armor.
The CheeseKing Nah, it's a poor game engine. Sometimes even beast PCs have problems with engines like this one. That's why there are performance tweaks, anti-stutter mods, and anti-crash mods for it.
Joseph Page Yep, that is why. You have a max of 30 fps while it can drop lower, causing it to become a chore to play. Gamebryo is also a piece of shit, so even on PC's, it will still lag.
We can't forget that there is a perk that allows you to repair items using items of the same general type such as clothing or weapons based off the type of ammo needed.
If you do the math you actually should take the perk that gives to double SP when reading a book then you only need to hit 50 on all skills and just find the books the rest of the way to 100.
@@yourfriendlyneighbourhoodl6206 there are books that increase a specific skill by 1 point. Selecting the "Comprehension" perk, will allow you to gain 2 points from reading, instead of 1. 😀
I replayed fallout 3 using his method of increasing INT from the beginning and it really worked out great. By the time I was level 14, my character was great.
if you have small guns, lockpick, and speech skill maxed ...the rest of the game pretty much becomes a big party for the lootwhores ...like me :)

I'll take the liberty of updating this. It sets out very important points such as the significance of Intelligence, but with Broken Steel the level cap is 30 now and with it came a whole host of perks, and more.
First off, at level 30 you can choose the perk Almost Perfect- raising every SPECIAL stat to 9. Due to this there are a few things to note. Do not take No Weaknesses at level 24 (26?) ever, which raises every point to 5. It's overshadowed entirely by AP. Also, take no SPECIAL bobble heads except for Intelligence (you set it to 9, right?). That way when you reach 30 and take AP, you can collect every SPECIAL bobble head for a perfect 10 in all 7 stats.
Also, due to this perk, Intense Training is nigh-useless. Get Lady Killer/Black Widow at level 2, then IT at level 3, simply because all the other options suck. Put IT wherever you wish, but I'd put it in charisma, which should always be set to 1 due to its uselessness (you can just save before a conversation and try over and over and over to win the speech check, and sometimes you don't even need to pass the check). Once level 4 is reached, the available perks aren't terrible, so no longer is IT needed.
A very useful tip- in the Operation Anchorage expansion, upon completing the simulation you gain the Power Armor Training perk, and access to the armory, which contains many useful items including the godly Winterized T-51b Power Armor. Winterized T-51b is unique because while not the strongest armor available (which would be the normal T-51b set or Enclave Hellfire power armor), it is the simulation version. Meaning it's the version you encounter when in the simulation, not the real-wasteland version intended for use. The sim version has a hitpoint count so high it almost doesn't degrade at all, and since you get Power Armor Training too it can easily carry you through the whole game. Also when I stated it wasn't the strongest, it's second place, still stronger than any other power armor aside from standard T-51b and Enclave Hellfire.
Some tips he didn't mention due to it being for the early game I'll also list:
Big Guns is the most useless skill as weapons classified as such are few and far in between, and likely never used by players, and if so, not used often.
Charisma should be set to 1, just as Intelligence is set to 9. I'd spread these extra 5 points between the remaining skills but give a little bonus to Agility- Action Points are very useful as VATS is broken in FO3 especially with Grim Reaper's Sprint (level 20 perk, absolutely essential).
Wasteland Survival Guide is an excellent quest that shows you many parts of the Wastes, gives you plenty of XP, and bestows a very handy perk upon you. Go for all the bonus objectives!
Prioritize eating your food before using Stimpaks- rads aren't too much of a problem until you get over 400, and by that point you should have acquired plenty of RadAways.
Save your caps to buy the My First Infirmary for your living space- it heals you to full health, maxes out all limbs, and flushes you completely of radiation. This lets you conserve even more stims and radaways.
That's all I feel like saying for now, oh yeah also remember to upgrade Lockpick and Science whenever possible to maximize access. Nothing hurts like an expedition stopped short because of a Very Hard lock.
Nice guide 👍
@Lamda2 how do you do these glitches?
Great guide! I don't suppose you can break it down for my dumbass though? That's a LOT take in haha. I wanna go back to Fallout 3 and have a perfect run! I hate missables.
If you missed it at the start there is a quest called "trouble on the homefront" that you can get by going near the vault and looking for an emergency radio coming from the vault, listen to it and you are given the quest, you can then enter the vault again to complete it.
Speech 100, sm. guns 100, sneak 100.
Now working towards lockpicking 100 and science 100.

If you had fun and "roleplayed" (which is not necessarily synonymous with overpowering your character as much as possible) you did it right!
And if you fallowed this instruction and overpowered your character to the extreme, and still had fun... you also did it right!
The only way you could have messed up your first character was, when you didn't have fun.

Love how precise and straight to the point this guy is. I've had Fallout 3 for years and never got into it, then the show dropped and put me in the mood. These videos have been a big help.
I love it when you get a bonus game for purchasing a physical copy of the latest in the series. For example I got "Just Cause 2" for buying a physical copy of "Just Cause 3" and "Fallout 3" for buying "Fallout 4". I just love that shit man, two for one deal, and now I can make my perfect, godly character in fallout 3 as well.

I recently picked up Fallout 3 again and finally finished it, and now I just stumbled upon your lovely guide. Really great work! The only thing i did wrong was not to get the int bobblehead right away, but I got all the stats I need to 100, so no loss there. ;)
Thanks for your effort, the people who skill intelligence probably know to appreciate it. =P
Half my life ago you posted this and helped me enjoy my youth. Thousands of hours spent playing fallout and listening to you. Thank you Strife.❤️
The nostalgia lol I remember these videos so fondly
I can't believe this game is 12 years old already.
My advice is to get explosives and repair high quickly to do two quests in Megaton: defusing the bomb and repairing the pipes. This will open up the Megaton house and allow selling scrap metal to Walter. (Also, the Strength bobblehead is in Lucas Simms' house.)
Another good thing for deciding on your other SPECIALs is to find out what the minimums are (usually 4 or 6) for perks you want to get later.
Lastly, there are some good items for boosting stats: Shady Hat for perception and sneak, Lucky Shades for luck, Ranger armor for small guns and luck, Button's Wig for intelligence, etc.
I watched this video like 10 years ago. Fallout 3 is still one of my Top 5 games and this guide holds up great for a maximized playthrough
On my very first play-through, I enjoyed the use of Melee Weapons since it was nearly on a whole new level compared to other open-world games. By the mid of the game I collected large amounts of ammo of each kind. This is useful, but then again, I never knew about the Gary 23 exploit in the Operation Anchorage DLC. While some may consider this as "cheating", it adds a large amount of enjoyment to the game due to un-degradable weapons, armor, and mass amounts of ammo without Console Commands.
In this glitch (which you can read about in the Fallout Wiki), you can take all items from the simulation with you to the Wasteland. To gain a very large amount of ammo, simply use the Ammo Resupply in the simulation to resupply your ammo, drop the ammo gotten, and keep repeating until you have a large amount on the ground. Here, you can pick it all up and can have a nearly unlimited supply. Sort of lengthy time-wise, but is very useful. In the simulation, you can also make an attempt to obtain very unique or rare items by pickpocketing or other methods, but this is for people who have no reason to do it than taking a challenge.
Note that this may or may not be a reason to skip out on the Barter skill early in the game due to weapons that barely degrade and the large ammo amounts. In return, this exploit will most likely be of must use along with the Small Guns skill and the Repair Skill to improve the damaged weapons you find on enemies and allies in the simulation (or not, since you can go find Haley in Point Lookout and visit him multiple times in order for his repair skill to go to 100 due to the fact that he improves his own repair abilities every time you visit his shop after loading a Quicksave).
I do not support the use of cheats/glitches, but I recommend it for those who like to have another play-through without going into the hassle of constantly buying and scavenging ammo. For those of you who also need a large amount of caps as well, simply take larger amounts of AR or Shotgun ammo and sell them to merchants in the Wasteland.
Dave B. Just picked the game up, lifesaver man. Been doin it no guides or nothin, had to check today after being so frustrated. Glad I saw this
Gonna sit down and play Fallout again for the 4th time. This is brilliant advice. Cheers man!
hey bro, just started playing on gamepass, great vid. only intro vid i found that wasn't spoilers.. you just explained the basics, great
I'm about to start playing, and wanted to get a bit of a head start. I'm so glad I found this! It's very professional and helpful, so keep it up and thanks a lot! C:
This guide was amazing. Wish I knew about it years ago. lol Anyway, I only have one thing to say, which I always tell people who ask advice about this game: Strength is NOT necessary and should be lowered to 1 on character creation, unless you are purposely making an entirely melee character (both difficult and crazy). Spend the extra 4 points elsewhere, ideally, perception, luck or charisma. Also, for a more realistic and fun gameplay, and to allow for buffing tag skills even more at character creation, I suggest trying out low endurance (1-3) when building a character. This is not only a fun way of creating challenge and realism, but it allows for even stronger tag stats. Perhaps the funnest, most practical, most realistic build (in my opinion), is to set SPECIAL stats as follows:
STR: 1
PER: 8
END: 1
CHR: 8
INT: 8
AGL: 8
LCK: 6
The first chance you get, use intense training to set luck to 7. Luck works best at odd numbers (read the guide, luck is fractional) and there is no need to go above 8 on any skills because of the Broken Steel DLC and the "near perfect" perk, the bubbleheads, and the STR/PER buffs from quests. This build literally makes you the strongest you can possibly be early game. Don't grab SPECIAL bubbleheads until you grab the "Almost Perfect" perk though, unless you are opting out of that perk, in which case grab the bobbles immediately and change LCK to 5 and add one to INT.
Nice tips
Thanks. Took a lot of play time and calculating to figure out what is most practical.
It can be if you are going for an action character who just wants to rough it through everything. Usually for evil characters.
+The Mexicutioner Charisma 8? I can't take this seriously.
At first thought this was ridiculous, but after some thought it wasn’t too bad, but still a few problems
Due to low endurance and strength, no Strong back or toughness perks. These are both rather nice perks I’d rather not go without
Low starting health
Way too high charisma. This could be a nice build if you just toned down charisma for endurance or something.
Low luck. I think it is high enough to get all related perks, but you still will have 4% less crit chance until you get to level 30 and at that point the game is over anyway.
So far best put together guide for anything ever
15 years and it’s still amazing
New players should keep in mind that the level cap was only 20 back then so you don't need to have intelligence as high now. I like having it at 7
It's still useful because you can cap at least 2 or 3 more skills than if you didn't take it. Plus with almost perfect at 30 you're pretty much a God after you get all the bobble heads. But I agree it's not as powerful as it was when the cap was 20.
@@lazydaze3134 🤔 Hmmm, How so??😶
Wouldn't this guide be more or a reason to keep the stats provided due to the level cap raising!???
@@yourfriendlyneighbourhoodl6206
I really love this build:
S - 9
P - 1 (you can rise it to 2 with the grayditch quest), all in all you won't need that high perception.
E - 9
C - 1 (a bit less caps in early game, but since you have more carry weight it evens it out)
I - 9
A - 2 (rise it to 4 with intense training)
L - 9
It might seem dramatic but it's my favorite.
@@liberator101 so the big, tough, smart, autistic guy ?
this is the first vid I've seen of you and I love your voice. The way everything is described in the vid also tells me how much effort you put into this. Please if you haven't already do a oblivion perfect character guide or guides for each type of character
I agree. But he got a lot wrong. Maxing out melee and getting the pyromaniac perk with the Shishkebab sword can one hit kill a super mutant. Big guns are fun too.
Actually, the best course of action is to go into Megaton, talk to Moira about her book. The first chapter includes a section for gaining a buttload of radiation. You can do that by swimming the Patomic River down to Rivet City to get the INT bobblehead (and better supply shops than Craterside). Not to mention you can stop at some places to set map markers for future fast traveling. You will encounter the least amount of enemies that way as well. I've taken the southern route mentioned in this video to travel to Arlington Library. There is no shortage of enemies that will stop your progress and a level 2 will with only a 10mm pistol and minimum stimpacks likely get destroyed easily.
Its been 8 years and now im going to play this for the first time.
Thanks dude the guide was awesome. Just played Fallout for the initial 3 hrs, but after seeing this video I will start from the beginning and follow your advice. thanks once again mate.
Excellent channel, bookmarked
no sub? :(
*bookmarked*
Yo did you bookmark pg3?
Bro.. this dude said bookmarked lmfaooo
This kid then grew up to be Streamer House
People probably already know this but put some points into explosives before you go to megaton if your doing a more good character so you can disarm the bomb and with some speech skill you can get caps out of it and get a house
This is how I always start off !
When I first bought this years ago I couldn't get into it, but after many more RPGs and a few Fallout 4 play throughs I feel like I can finally appreciate this game properly. Now to decide how to use these extra points...
Dude, I messed up hard first time I ever played... I was like, well I doubt I'll ever really use big guns so there's no need to be prepared. Then I stumbled my dumbass into DC and learned real quick what a Super Mutant was! lmao. I pulled out my FatBoy and couldn't hit the giant target running towards me. Granted I was hiding shitless behind my couch hahah... but STILL! Whenever I run into a super mutant I sacrifice someone.... unless it's Dogmeat.. :D
I remember the first time I played too. I was too afraid to leave Megaton because of those fucking Molerats outside. I almost shit my pants the first time I tried to leave Megaton and a giant mutated rat came sprinting straight for me. lol
AsassinProdigyX Lmao! A molerat? Out of all the things to be scared of.....haha
Is there a shit ton of bugs kinda like fallout NV
Kandy Kid Productionz Actually there are not as many bugs with Fallout 3. Unless you play on PC.
People keep talking about bugs... I'm like what bugs?? I never had a problem with the game... only something cool would happen.. like bodies would hover in the sky. That's cool with me! :D
Still helpful for my 4th or 5th replay of the game in 2024. Nice video!
Who else is playing fallout 3 for the 9th time? Dude fallout 3 and fallout newvegas will always be the games I never forget. The memories and feelings these games gave me as a kid were unreal. There were my escape from life.
I haven't tried this because with Broken Steel installed the level max is 30. Something I did try instead was going for Operation Anchorage at level 2. I was level 6 at the end, with both the Winterized T-51b Power Armor and the Chinese Stealth Suit to choose from, ready to begin the Wasteland Survival Guide. Did minefield in full stealth, leaving Arkansas alive in case I want to collar him for Paradise Falls later. And on the way I picked up Dogmeat and the Alien Blaster, so the Behemoth at GNR Plaza should be a breeze at level 10.
I still play Fallout 3 and New Vegas today and i can't understand why i never get bored while playing the game, feel like every dungeon, quest and every single time i walk around makes me have the feel like i have never done it before. I could see the effort and love put in the game by it's producers. The feeling is the same from back when i was 14 and played this masterpiece fresh bought after watching a trailer on a review channel, even trought i really tought that the game was "odd" and too gloomy and dark at first i decided to buy, after playing it for hours i could understand and love the Fallout franchiese, and learned many usefull things from the game. Now, almost 5 years later this is still one of my favorite title. It's a shame what Fallout had became with Fallout 76, a game that could clearly have a true potential in making a multiplayer experience in the Fallout Universe, but they were too effortless, greedy and put no love in their work, only cared about the grind. They should go back to their old titles and learn how to make good games once again.
6:43
Swimming to Rivet City is a lot easier. You'll pick up some radiation, but you can then fast-travel back to Megaton and have Moira cure all your radiation as part of the Wasteland Survival Guide quests.
Still watching this 2018!!!
To me, this is Fallout 3 is better than 76 in terms of fun.
The only thing they ruined (yet some will disagree) is the options you can make for when your character has a voice, this is why I like 3 and New Vegas
Me xD I LOVE THIS GAME(but Im poor and I havent gotten a DLC or Xbox live oh well xD)
[MLGSNIP3R ] damn dude that sucks, you could maybe find a goty version of the game cheap

Omg Robert me too! I'm 32 now haha. Do you still play this masterpiece? or do you play other games now?
Crazy to think that I'm almost the same age as this game 💀💀💀
Never played Fallout before but now that I played Fallout 3 I'm totally in love with it.
@Celery Sorry for the late response, but yes I do 😂 I come back to this game time to time. For some reason the newer games nowadays ain't hitting the same for me. So I come back playing NV, and FO3 and so on.
I just reloaded this game and slapped in about 300 mods (mainly to fix bugs, make it look better and add more locations for giggles. Dug out my old spreadsheets to do this. If you plan to use comprehension and collect all the skill books, your Int can be as low as 4. I run mine at 6 just for different perks.
I can not believe this video/game is 15 years old. Time files man I loved it so much
Almost 15 years later, I finally choose to continue with Fallout series by playing Fallout 3.
I didn't know that there are only 20 levels, and I'm now around level 8-9, and my character is pretty gimped xD
I guess I'll just start over =)
@p.cameron1588 I just went with new character :)
I agree with everything you said besides the melee weapons, the dips with a lead pipe and the ripper is just amazing to take out super mutants with, great guide though
This was very helpful. I've only played a couple of hours of fallout 3 and found it much more difficult then 4, thank u so much
good guide, BUUUT what i like to do is lower my skills i know i wont be using, and boost the ones i know i will. Ive been play for a long time on fallout and i just made a melee dude (recommended only for ex. players) and i lowered my agility to 1, and my charisma to 1, only because i know i wont be using either and it gives me more to put in strength and endurance (after my intelligence is up to 9). also, i enjoy not using stem packs or rad away, and only actually eating the food you scavenge for, finding water fountains, and only sleeping in beds i find, unless missions i do lead me naturally to megaton (or tenpenny tower). also, i havent been repairing any weapons, when it degrades, i go an explore until i find another melee weapon, and ill stick with that one no matter what it is to make the game alot more challenging and fun, at least to me.
Also being a melee character can get you rich quick as you would just sell all weapons and ammo you find. I disagree with you about repair though. It is very beneficial to increase it as it keeps your equipment in good condition and helps the equipment you sell for more caps.
Just downloaded FO3 on gamepass and immediately bought all the DLC. This game does not lose its charm
15 years ago….. thank you for the video after all these years man…
Played all FO and ES games but am starting my first play through of this game today.
this game and new Vegas are damn amazing. I'm still playing today as of a modded playthrough. sometimes I burn out on the game, but 1 year later I come back to the wasteland to experience it all over again. mods are also amazing...
This video has always been awesome. I come back to it since it takes me back :)
After playing this game many years later, I thought I would be bored with all the walking and looting. Turns out, it's still as fun as it used to be! I'm playing just on EASY, and it's kinda hard! VERY fun to play stealthy sometimes for the one shots. Can't help myself to check every trash and desk and filing cabinet either way. I almost have enough missles to break my missle launcher ;)
Always remember that you can get an unlimited amount of science and big gun skill books so don't waste any points or perks for those 2 skills
How do you get an unlimited amount of those skill books?
@@marcuscain1377 The big guns book spawns on I believe a bandit in the Bethesda Ruins, who respawns with the book on them, as for the science, I can't remember, but it says it somewhere on the wiki
I've always loved the Elder Scrolls game. Today, for the first time, I bought Fallout 3. Never played before. So gonna really dig into your videos for a while
This is pretty much for begginers. Fallout 3 is to actually make the character work. If you want to make a medicine/explosive character or unarmed/repair/Sneak etc. There are enough resources to make the character you want to make and enough directions and landmarks that require you to have certain skills(all of them included). There is no perfect character. Just learn to make the character that is interesting to you and find a way to make him work .

Psychedelic intro man and thanks for the guide
11 years ago and I still play this game
Me too
So wait if luck raises your skill on .5 scale why don't you want to use it? Is it one of those thing where you either wanna use intelligence or luck but not both cause they cancel each other out in a sense?
intelligence offers about twice as many skill points at level 20 than luck. like strife said at level 20 with 5 intel and the educated perk you can an additional 137 extra skill points but with 4 luck and the educated perk you only gain about 76 extra skill points and with about 40 of those points distributed to 9 perks they shouldn't be on. 5 intel makes you a Demi-god, 4 luck makes you a jack-of-all-trades(aka decent at everything).
During watching this video in Dec.2021 i can remember that i watched the same video like 10 Years ago. You created a true masterpiece here...
Well shit. Guess who's restarting their character.
Are you gonna make something like this for Fallout 4?
Probably not, seeing as there is no level cap in FO4
Damn this video was made 15 years ago, close to 16 (about 3 months+ to December 3rd). I envy you guys to have known a lot about this game a decade ago. I only got the chance (finally) to finish this game this year. I've played it before about 30 hours but never completed it. Now that I'm close to helping Sentinel Lyons finish the final task with the purifier, it made me realize just how late I was to this game compared to most of you lol
Nice vid but a bit dated. This doesn't include Broken Steel, which increases the level cap to 30, or Operation Anchorage's early high-end weapons and Chinese stealth armor.
Fallout 3 is an amazing game but the fatal flaw I've been dealing with that it sometimes has serious frame rate issues.
Joseph Page Yea. But the mods and ini tweaks help quite a bit.
The CheeseKing
Nah, it's a poor game engine. Sometimes even beast PCs have problems with engines like this one. That's why there are performance tweaks, anti-stutter mods, and anti-crash mods for it.
Josh Conant I have this on PS3. Maybe that's why.
Joseph Page Yep, that is why. You have a max of 30 fps while it can drop lower, causing it to become a chore to play. Gamebryo is also a piece of shit, so even on PC's, it will still lag.
MCOlangotang I believe lagging only occurs when playing online although I get what you're saying. The word you're looking for is frame rate issues.
We can't forget that there is a perk that allows you to repair items using items of the same general type such as clothing or weapons based off the type of ammo needed.
If you do the math you actually should take the perk that gives to double SP when reading a book then you only need to hit 50 on all skills and just find the books the rest of the way to 100.
Wait, what on earth are you talking about??
@@yourfriendlyneighbourhoodl6206 there are books that increase a specific skill by 1 point. Selecting the "Comprehension" perk, will allow you to gain 2 points from reading, instead of 1. 😀
25 books for each skill x "comprehension" = 50.
I agree with the math lol.
Welcome new Vault Dwellers!
I replayed fallout 3 using his method of increasing INT from the beginning and it really worked out great. By the time I was level 14, my character was great.
15 years dang
