<![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 3px;" title="Fallout 3" src="http://www.donsalva.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/fallout3.png" alt="Fallout 3" width="100" height="100" /><a href="http://www.donsalva.com/blog/hq-hd-high-res-texture-packs-for-fallout-3" target="_blank">Back then I listed</a> the "must-have" texture packs for Fallout 3 to greatly enhance F3's graphics. Since then Bethesda released 5 DLCs (Operation Anchorage, The Pitt, Broken Steel, Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta), and modders have been going crazy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are all kind of HD (HQ, HiRes or High-Res, same meaning different spelling) (re-)texture packs and different (re-)models of pretty much anything on <a href="http://www.fallout3nexus.com/index.php" target="_blank">Fallout 3 Nexus</a>. If you still don't know it, Fallout 3 Nexus is the main source for Fallout 3 mods, models and textures.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Running with higher resolution texture packs as always results in higher demand on your computer. Be sure your PC can handle it, don't install all  texture packs at once. Install one pack at a time, test it out then continue with the next.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Long story short</strong>:  I'm quite fond of <a href="http://fouracescw.googlepages.com/hires" target="_blank">4Aces DLC high-res textures</a> [<a href="http://fouracescw.googlepages.com/HiResLinks.txt" target="_blank">direct link</a>]. Enjoy!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Addendum 17.05.2010:</strong><br />
Like a lot of people who have large amount of mods, especially texture mods, I've experienced frequent crashes to desktop. This is due the fact that Fallout 3 is a 32Bit game which in turn results in the usage of a maximum of 2GB of RAM. If you have, say 4GB RAM or more, Fallout 3 makes no use of it.</p>
<p>Fear not, there has been a solution since last year which I completely missed up until a few months ago. <a href="http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6510">Large Address Aware Enabler for FO3</a> or <a href="http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12031">FO3 RAM Boost</a>. Either one works and reduces the crashes to almost a nonexistence.</p>

<![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p><a href="http://www.abload.de/img/fallout3_pointlookoutl0lr.jpg"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 3px;" title="Fallout 3 4th DLC: Point Lookout" src="http://www.donsalva.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/duhsyi0.jpg" alt="Fallout 3 4th DLC: Point Lookout" width="300" height="188" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As you can probably imagine I'm currently playing the 3rd new DLC, "Point Lookout". It's Bethesda's 4th one and <span style="text-decoration: line-through;"><a href="http://www.oxm.co.uk/article.php?id=10318">many more may come</a></span> (I guess I was wrong, <a href="http://kotaku.com/5339034/howard-five-was-enough-for-fallout-3-dlc">5 is enough</a>!).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Point Lookout takes you to an isolated island, it is Fallout 3's equivalent of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_Lookout_State_Park">Point Lookout State Park</a>. An amusement park, with a huge <a href="http://www.abload.de/img/caruseltzrz.jpg">carousel</a> surrounded by a <a href="http://www.abload.de/img/swampvo0n.jpg">damp</a> <a href="http://www.abload.de/img/swampm2co.jpg">swamp</a> and an <a href="http://www.abload.de/img/lighthouse1ex4.jpg">old</a> <a href="http://www.abload.de/img/lighthousej1zz.jpg">lighthouse</a> overlooking it. It gives off an eerie feeling.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And the bonus: remember the <a href="http://www.abload.de/img/pintslasher8c1v.jpg">Pint-Sized Slasher</a>? Perhaps Point Lookout, Maryland is where the Slasher originated.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The whole DLC is somewhat horror / thriller themed. The nuclear bombs did not fall on Point Lookout, but the island was simply forgotten and left to its own resources.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">New monsters are present, the Swampfolk, inbreed hillbillies with hostile attitude toward the player, such as <a href="http://www.abload.de/img/trackerbaf7.jpg">Trackers</a>, <a href="http://www.abload.de/img/scrapperh9ga.jpg">Creepers/Scrappers</a> and <a href="http://www.abload.de/img/brawlerybp6.jpg">Brawlers</a>/<a href="http://www.abload.de/img/bruiser9uql.jpg">Bruisers</a>. Even a swamp variant of <a href="http://www.abload.de/img/swampghoulsb3dm.jpg">ghouls</a> and <a href="http://www.abload.de/img/swamplurkstfu9.jpg">mirelurks</a>. Oh, and a new set of humans too, <a href="http://www.abload.de/img/tribals14uvi.jpg">the</a> <a href="http://www.abload.de/img/tribals2fqat.jpg">Tribals</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Of course new quest-able perks are added, although nothing huge, still funny to have and weapons such as double barrel shotguns, axes and shovels.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Because so many Confederates died during the American Civil War on Point Lookout, you'll find <a href="http://www.abload.de/img/confhat160v8.jpg">Confederate</a> <a href="http://www.abload.de/img/confhat2w5yd.jpg">Hats</a> by the thousands.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All in all, I can only recommend this DLC! The 5th DLC "Mothership Zeta"<em> </em>is coming in <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">July</span> August, and will supposedly involve the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL0Z1lkHYpQ">crashed alien ship</a> and not so friendly extraterrestrials.</p>
