Easy way for the karma achievements is to be good and then on your save right before you're about to level up just start murdering your way down to neutral and level up, and then bad, and then continue on being good.

The Steam version actually doesn't have achievements.

which saves me from feeling compelled to do those sorts of tedious repetitive tasks in the interest of collecting them all

i am free to actually enjoy this game as i please............. i haven't felt such freedom in a long time [/spoiler]

you can't get the GFWL ""achievements""?

i made the mistake of using the third person view to look at my face

i like how despite the protagonist being 19 bethesda makes it virtually impossible to craft a face that looks anything less than 40

i guess living in post-nuclear armageddon high in ambient radiation ages a person

should i bother to do so

i have never dealt with gfwl but if it requires any more effort out of me than toggling a setting or smth then i won't, especially since any achievements would be separate from my other steam achievements

Achievements give your life and whole being focus. 

If you beat a game and no achievements are around, did it really matter?

[Kalahari Inkantation]

True.

you just sign into your XBL account, assuming you have one, and put in your CD key.
[spoiler]you can even unlock all of them with the console commands[/spoiler]

i won't worry about it lol, it really isn't that big a deal

if i were really interested in achievements i could just torture myself with my ps3 copy

six+ hours in and i've still only just barely made it into megaton, lol

i spend so much time experimenting with mechanics in these games and searching every nook and cranny for god knows what, or reloading after failed speech challenges or thieving attempts

that's alright bruh it's your adventure

i think i've fixed my freezing issues

apparently what the game really doesn't like is windows 7 or 8 pcs with more than two cores, so i forced it to ignore two of mine a few hours of gameplay ago and i haven't had any problems since

aside from general stability woes, it's amazing how easy this game is to run compared to skyrim, especially considering they technically belong to the same generation

my average framerate is about double the high 20-low 30 fps i begrudgingly accepted in skyrim at 1080p, and fallout 3 honestly isn't significantly uglier than skyrim is either (though i suppose skyrim is more densely packed)

amazing how they managed to get both games performing on the consoles about equally (well, on the 360 at least, lol)
