I hope it's all right to post this topic, but I think it's something very much worth mentioning. Everywhere I've looked has said that FOSE is incompatible with the Direct2Drive version of Fallout 3. For a while I was very discouraged by this and tried desperately to find the good mods that didn't require FOSE to operate. I continually cursed myself for having purchased the d2d version but, seeing as there was nothing I could do about it, resigned myself to using mods that didn't require FOSE. I played Fallout 3, beat it, played it some more, and then uninstalled it for a year. Yesterday I reinstalled the game and refamiliarized myself with the mod scene and remembered that FOSE didn't work with the d2d version. I decided that I should at least try it and see if it does indeed not work with my d2d copy of Fallout 3 and, much to my surprise, I found that it was completely compatible. I'm not entirely sure why this is, but it most certainly is. For the moment the only mods I have loaded along with FOSE are FWE, Project Beauty, Fellout, HD Audio Overhaul, FO3 Ram Boost, and NMC's Texture Pack. As far as I can tell, the things that need FOSE in FWE work flawlessly. I am having a touch of trouble with FWE though. I accidentally set the triage hotkey to ESC and for some reason it won't let me change it. The option doesn't even appear. Anyway, does anyone know if there are certain things I should test other than FWE? I'd love to use RH_Ironsights, but I don't think it's compatible with FWE. Anyone know any differently? Oh, and I'm not sure if this has anything to do with FOSE working or not, but I installed Fallout 3 in a separate directory from the suggested directory. Anyway, I hope that others with the D2D version can get FOSE to work too.
