Fallout 3

Fallout 3

Bethesda Game Studios 2008

Fallout 3 from the creators of the award-winning Oblivion, featuring one of the most realized game worlds ever created. Create any kind of character you want and explore the open wastes of post-apocalyptic Washington D.C. Every minute is a fight for survival as you encounter Super Mutants, Ghouls, Raiders and other dangers of the Wasteland. Prepare for the future. The third game in the Fallout series, Fallout 3 is a singleplayer action role-playing game (RPG) set in a post-apocalyptic Washington DC. Combining the horrific insanity of the Cold War era theory of mutually assured destruction gone terribly wrong, with the kitschy naivety of American 1950s nuclear propaganda, Fallout 3 will satisfy both players familiar with the popular first two games in its series as well as those coming to the franchise for the first time.

Release Article

A post-release build of Fallout 3 for the Xbox 360. Also shipped with DLC. Build exhibits graphical issues when played in Xenia, luckily the signatures I found with the New Vegas PDB were unchanged, so I was able to port the fix over to this build as well. The script to apply the patch, and pre-patched binaries, are available on my Git server. The main interest here is that the build is a console build with the debug console enabled, and it is unstripped, so it has commands not present on the PC version. There are minor differences in the DLC files but nothing major has been discovered.

Notes:

  • Predates TU3 build (also 1.5.0.22) by just under an hour.
  • Various settings can be changed through the Fallout.ini configuration file.
  • Contains a debug console (with commands that aren't in the PC version, or act differently)
    • Activated with tilde, either with a keyboard on a devkit, or keyboard passthrough with Xenia.
  • Differences are not known beyond this.
