You sound like a synth.

Fuck Lyons, Maxon for life.

>!I kid I was so hyped to get the Lyons’ Pride power armor in 3. I wish it would run on my computer!<

If you have New Vegas, try Tale of Two Wastelands. It made 3 work for me since it's technically New Vegas running.

And if you don't have new Vegas....just why? What are you waiting for?

Kidding aside, tales of 2 wastelands is what allowed me to finally replay FO3 after more than a decade. The downside is that by the time you get to NV you can pretty much march straight to the legion and murder everyone

Yeah, I am a Wasteland God by the time I get out west. I don't bring any of the weapons or armor with me though (ammo excluded since it's so abundant in 3 with the press). I also figure it's more realistic for a courier to get "killed" in normal wear as opposed to perfect condition winterized power armor....now I'm imagining Benny just bouncing bullets off you as you slowly walk up to him, face obscured by the helmet.

I got the GOG version of both and they work fine for me.

Fallout 3 was broken until about a year ago on modern machines then Bethesda randomly pushed out a patch completely removing the Windows Live integration that was breaking it. Since then, a lot more people can run it but it is still pretty hit and miss.

Generally speaking though TTW is considered the most stable way to play Fallout 3 on modern PCs.

Hey, I can help. I guess you have Win10, and the game crashes? Whatever it is, you can send me a DM, I probably can help you with F3.

I have windows 7. And the game won’t even start.

New Vegas does though.

Run the fallout3.exe as an administrator + in compatibility mode with Windows XP SP2

I feel like that’s something I’ve tried in the past but didn’t work, I’m saving the comment for the next time I boot up my computer though. Thank you.

Maxon was their ward he took over after both them died, completed Sarah’s goal of elimination the super mutants while reinterpreting the Outcast to the BoS. He also is not nearly as radical as the hardliner BoS originals or as naive as the elder Elder Lyon (not a typo)

If you are interested in going down the rabbit hole there is a decent amount of evidence that shows how Lyons was killed by maxons mentors while he was a child to ensure he rose to be the leader.

It is oddly similar to Arthurian legend

Lyon’s is one of the worst military leaders in the series. Like he’s a good guy and altruistic. But he’s absolutely awful at leading others. He tries to act like a police force in DC when he doesn’t have the resources to do so. He got many of his recruits killed. Failed to stop a mutiny and allowed them to leave with a huge amount of his own troops and gear. And has his forces scattered around the wasteland protecting nonessential positions they can barely hold with almost no way to recoup their losses. Hell even his own men say so.

Lyons is the reason why so many of his people got killed.

While I don't entirely disagree. I still think Lyons was a good leader. The Outcasts would leave no matter what. If Lyons didn't let them go with peace, there would be unnecessary bloodshed. And, also, keeping ANYONE alive in the worst place of post-war America is wishful thinking. I don't think any military one was prepared to Capital Wasteland. Even schmuck like Maxon (the older one).

FO4's Maxon has it easy with Enclave and Supermutant threads defeated by Lone Wanderer and Sarah respectively.
