pimpmonkey2382.313: The best way to play fallout 3 is to not play it.

OldFatGuy: I hardly ever use mods, in fact the only one I've ever tried that I would wholeheartedly recommend is the Morrowind all-in-one mod (can't recall exact name of it). But I'm thinking of doing yet another play through of Fallout 3 and would so love it if I could change the experience gained to a smaller amount, without changing difficulty settings. In fact, the only direction I'd change difficulty would be to make it harder, but I _think_ that you gain MORE experience points using higher difficulties. I want LESS, but don't want to lessen difficulty. But I would prefer to play it on normal difficulty but have less XP earned.

Anyone know of any mods for that????

I just don't like playing and getting to the level cap way before being done. It makes the later stages much less fun for me. I guess with the enemies constantly respawning there may be no way to avoid it, but a start would be if I could say cut the experience points earned in half.

Klumpen0815: Try "Fallout 3 - Wanderer's Edition".
It's a total overhaul where you have to eat and sleep every day and a lot is more realistic and more difficult, in fact a bit like Fallout 3 should have been in the first place.

k1bell: Pretty much this.

Kezardin: You could try something like the Arwen_Reduced_XPR mod.

OldFatGuy: Thank you very much!!! That's exactly what I was looking for!!!

I was just responding to the first poster that I had never heard of nexusmods before and was going to check it out when a thunderstorm knocked out my power, been out for awhile, just got back, and saw this.

THANK YOU!!!

And pay no attention to those above who apparently don't know one of the best computer games ever made even if it bit them in, you know, that place. :-P

Austrobogulator: Came here to make the same snarky comment as you guys >_>

Alternatively, instead of playing Fallout 3, you should perhaps just play Fallout 1 three times.

pimpmonkey2382.313: I do know one of the best computer games ever made, and it isn't fallout 3.

Seriously, this crap never ceases to be obnoxious as all hell.

pimpmonkey2382.313: What? Having a differing opinion than yourself?

Shaolin_sKunk: You tell me, seeing as how OFG's opinion is Fallout 3 is worth playing.
