Fallout 3 - MMM & FWE made the game impossible :/ Help!?!?!

[Admiral Huddy]

I've very rarely used mods and certainly didn't for Fallout 3. I played through the main game and a few DLCs with little or no problems. I would just play through the vanilla version rather than wsting time with all this fus

I can't believe you're complaining about a game because of mods you've installed. Fallout 3 is one of the best games I've played in years - I think the difficulty is pitched nigh on perfectly for me. I don't need mods to make it worse. I certainly don't need to install mods that increase enemy spawns and then compalin about it because it's increasing enemy spawns.

Try uninstalling them and playing it as the developers meant it to be played.

... seriously did you actually play the game in vanilla before leaping into FWE + MMM? Mods designed to make the game more challenging (no not impossible).

Fawkes can't be hired until waaaaay through the main quest line (and your max companions depends on the setting anyway).
Companions do restore health after fights but it doesn't happen instantly... but then thats vanilla not modded.
Ammo weight was added as part of FWE to stop you carrying round 20000 rounds of ammunition, 50 missiles and 20 mini nukes wherever you went.

https://sites.google.com/site/fo3wanderersedition/detailed-changes/05actors#TOC-Followers-Enhanced-FWE-Optional-Mod Says it all. Seriously... try reading what the mods actually change.

Sigh it isn't me not reading things.

1) Yes I did play vanilla partly but I got bored for lack of challenge. So why would I play it all the way through when it's no fun?

2) Do it your self then.

When you come up from the metro you go up the stairs and even sneaking with a stealth boy are spotted instantly by at least 10 mutants who then call for more. Soon your on 20 and then soon 40.

You can't lay mines as suggested before because there is no way you can mine to kill all of them before they kill you. They all only need to take 1 shot at you and your definitely dead. It's an instant kill pretty much.

So people stop telling me I dont know how to play. And stop telling me to stop crying about it. I have stated that everywhere else I find the game perfectly balanced. But this place has been totally screwed up by FWE and MMM.

3) I have you know i've read a lot about these mods because I wanted to make sure they were the right ones for me. I was already aware that it included a mod that made ammo weigh nothing and I was already aware that I could make it so I can have unlimited companions. I know this because oddly enough I set them that way.

As stated before, I find the game incredly dull and easy otherwise.

And as stated before now over and over again:

I am not complaining about FWE and MMM making the game difficult. Im complaining because it's made a single quest line impossible. The rest of the game is perfectly balanced, even if it is very hard and I have made many reloads. I like a game which is chalanging.

The point of the matter that so many of you don't appear to be understanding is that if you think you can take on 40 super mutants with 6x global damage as per default of FWE then you are joking and nothing more then a keyboard warrior.

I came here to ask if anyone else had used this mod and have the same problem because I thought the spawns might be screwing up and kept respawning when they shouldn't have or something because I find it hard to believe any mod would be designed to ruin a quest line. They should have edited the spawns so this wouldn't have happened in this area is what im saying.

My god people just love to tell you why you are so wrong all the time and why they are right without even listerning to a word I say.


:EDIT:

Also I've discovered how to make the game completely tab friendly and instant. Im checking to see if its fixed the whole crashing with music and radio sound on.

Your whining that a WARZONE in the middle of DC has too many enemies in it? And you've decided this after using the metro system that will drop you in the middle of it with inadequate stealth, next to no DR and poor weapons?

Perhaps you should've stuck to vanilla and experienced more of it. There are... maybe 5 entrances to The Mall, or something like that. 1 miles from the action at the Memorial, 1 via Seward Square, fighting through the Capitol Building and the rest stick you in or around the area. Pretty sure you'd be ok if you came out in Museum Station right outside Underworld since you can always run like hell to the Brotherhood for help and you should be far from the action. And don't complain about not knowing how to get to them, if you don't know, FIND IT.

And for your information, I DID do it myself. I went into The Mall with Increased Increased Spawns, appearing in the middle of it, with Winterized T-51b Power Armour (@80-85 DR) armed with a Minigun, Pancor Jackhammer, Flamer, LSW and M60 with zero attempt at stealth. In the whole area there were perhaps 30-50 Mutants, so i think you're overexaggerating. You only get a large swarm (upto 25 maybe over time) because you've appeared in the middle and every damn mutant in a 360 degree radius is after you, not just ones in front.

So my advice, try a different frigging strategy, if you even had 1 to begin with.
