Finally !  The day has come !

PC and XBOX 360 versions of Fallout 3 have been officially released today. Some stores jumped the gun and have been seen selling the game a few days too early, well at least the 360 version. But of course, us modders need the PC version to start modding to our hearts content.

Now we know for sure, there is not construction kit. Will it stop us ? HELL NO ! I will pick up a copy on my way home and not even play it (been playing the 'early xbox' release and have already completed the main quest). I will immediatelly jump into experimentation with mods :)

The well known trick in Oblivion was of course the 'ArchiveInvalidation.txt' to replace certain files in the game. I bet we will be able to use this again, we will however need to figure out some tools to extract all the original files from the main archive on the game DVD. Then we can make some mods for new interface or new character textures at least.

I also hope we can extract / replace some of the in game music. I loved those 50 songs and it would be really cool if we could add some more of our own to enhance the gaming experience. If anybody has more ideas on what we can edit without having an editor ... please reply to this thread !! Let's brainstorm together !
