Hello Survivors, and welcome to the Vicious Wastes! In this series, I will be doing a permadeath playthrough of Fallout 3 using a heavily modified loadout with the goal of creating a gameplay experience as close as possible to something like Fallout 4 Horizon and Fallout 4 Frost. I used the excellent Fallout 3 overhaul guide linked below to bring Fallout 3's ancient clunky gameplay into something that feels almost as good as a modern FPS.

In addition, I've installed the "Vicious Wastes" mod which is a massive gameplay and rebalance overhaul for Fallout 3. Some of it's features are:

----------------------------Hardcore Mode----------------------------
► A near-exact recreation of the Hardcore Mode found in Fallout: New Vegas.
► Dehydration, Starvation, and Sleep Deprivation are a constant concern.
► Stimpaks and Rad-Away now heal over time.
► Sleeping cannot be used to heal or restore limbs.
► Limbs can only be healed with Doctor's Bags or through healing services.
► Ammunition has weight (player only).
► Campfires can now be used for crafting foods. Recipes are scattered around the wasteland for more potent meals.

----------------------------Combat----------------------------
► Damage dealt and received is far more deadly, making each encounter difficult but satisfying.
► Your limbs will require more frequent attention.
► Enemies have modified combat behavior: some are over-zealous and lay suppressing fire from out in the open and some will use cover extensively. All enemies will use their ranged weapons from farther way.

----------------------------Carry Weight----------------------------
► You and your companions' inventories will need to be strictly maintained. Decide how much firepower you want versus how much medicine and food you think you'll need.

----------------------------Leveling----------------------------
► Leveling up requires 50% more XP than vanilla.
► You gain much fewer skillpoints per level.
► You can only pick 1 Perk every other level.

----------------------------S.P.E.C.I.A.L.----------------------------
► Agility will now affect your movement speed and has a more significant impact on your available Action Points.
► Perception now affects your ability to aim ranged weapons.
► Endurance makes up a larger portion of your available Hitpoints. Temporary boosts/penalties to endurance will now affect your maximum HP.
► Intelligence provides fewer skillpoints at each level up.

----------------------------Skills----------------------------
► Tagging a skill allows that skill to increase by two for each point spent, though no longer gains an immediate bonus.
► Skill Books take a cue from Fallout: New Vegas; there's fewer to collect, but they provide a larger skill bonus for less skill gain overall. Now your character's skills matter much more.
► Barter now has a significant effect on vendor prices and the cost of vendor repairs.

----------------------------Perks----------------------------
► Skill and attribute-boosting perks have been reworked or outright removed.
► Under-utilized and downright useless perks have been buffed or changed significantly to increase the variety of chosen perks.

All of this combines to create a much deadlier, more realistic, and far more immersive Fallout 3 experience. Add permadeath on top and this series will be intense!

Also just a personal note - I have played Fallout 3 (many years ago), but I never completed it. It was my first introduction to Fallout and will always hold a special place in my heart for that.
