 * Hello to all. Currently I'm just browsing The Vault, adding some personal experience I think is worth mentioning. Thanks to all contributors, you helped me a lot.
 * I'm new to Fallout itself, bought Fallout 3 on advise. Except the glitchwave, it's a fine game. 111 hours and nothing done in the main quest yet (after leaving Vault 101). That's lots of stuff for your money.
 * "Operation Anchorage" ruined even more of my game. Basically, my version is so german, setting the console to english (normal for me) won't change voice acing, text or anything. Sadly. (They advertise with lines like "Completely in german!" here, but to me this means "EW!" and curse words in the same breath.) Now every "Ich muss jetzt gehen." option to end a dialogue shows up as "I have to go now." Considering that this was supposed to be all-german, a wonderful screw up. Moreover, I have a requisitions officer holotape for sniper equippment stuck in my inventory now. Which is funny, since once (and only once) I had options for rocket launcher setting, TWICE (two lines) close quarters combat setting and the rest - else, only half of what was supposed to be. When I wanted sniper equipment, I got an assault rifle, when I wanted rockets (or anything else) I got sniper equipment. Aha. I can't say I have hopes to see the german version fixed - because I can fully understand that Bethesda's people are busy enough to fix the basic original english version and I won't blame any of them for not caring for any other version. It's the friggin' germans' fault anyway. They screw up 95% of the translations and versions for germany of whatever, games, manga, anime, etc. Even synchronized translations for TV are screwed. When George Lucas was asked "Would you reveal a line from the movie?", right before he entered the cinema where the german premiere of "Episode One" was to be shown, he just said "May the Force be with you." However, the translator understood "May the 4th, we'll be with you." Christ's sake. Really. Whenever someone asks me, what video games have done me good, I say: "Proper English." Because I grew up with games, when the luxury of commercialized translations wasn't yet ruining the stuff. Back then, Nintendo's peopele for country-wide distributions did the translational work for a few titles. These were good and original. Since it became more and more a mass industry and EU and Australia were labelled a "sub market", so we don't get awesome games like "Mana Khemia" here, I feel more and more forsaken. Good thing I have someone in england willing to send me english versions from now on, I'm sick of it.
