Dear one and all,

Sorry to disturb you all but I thought I would reinstall fallout 3 the other day. Unfortunately it's run into a problem.

Right at the beginning when you are born, I choose whether i'm a boy or girl, and the doctor in front of me moves away. I can then cry and my mother says effectivily aww. Unfortunately then the game goes no further. I can still cry and the hospital noises are still around but thats it. The game doesn't continue.

I've tried looking around the net and noted that a few other people have had the same issue but no one has replied with a decent answer other than downloading some mod that will skip the whole beginning. I really don't want to skip the beginning and would like the full fallout experience.

if anyone could help with this I would be most greatful.

Cheers

Jules

PS - I have patched the game to its most current edition

Hey, I never played F3 on a PC, but I found this on the internet (which is a web destination):

"Delete all the files in your my documents/my games/fallout 3 folder and start the fallout 3 launch menu. It'll tell you its going to detect settings for your computer. Accept them, DON'T CHANGE THEM AT ALL, and just hit play.
Once you start a new game, it should work; it did for me. I think it has something to do with altering the suggested settings."

Hope it helps.

It's part of the game, you have to wait 18 years untill you can exit the vault.
It's real time.

Nope still having the same problem :(

Try command console to move yourself to another stage in the mission, its complex but relatively easy if you know how to do it.
Do you have the PC version?
