Game broke?

[o r a n g e drink]

I completed the game with GOTY and I woke up same as normal but all I can do is sit there and listen to Sawbones. I dunno if this has to do with Windows 11 but I know thats now how this usually plays out

With broken steel DLC you can continue to play

I have the same Problem. Found out anything meanwhile?
I read, there was a problem with a custom-race-mod and there is a fixing-mod on nexusmods, which does not help me, but I don't own that custom-race-mod anyway.
I had to fiddle around in the main quest a bunch of times to get it going; maybe that broke something in this broken game before broken steel.
Did you experience the same problems beforehand or is this the first time FO3 s(t)ucks?

This is my first time playing fallout 3

I mean did you have to use the console in your walkthrough up to that point?

[o r a n g e drink]

Uhhh elaborate, I didn't use a walkthrough.

Sorry, I'm not a native speaker.
I mean did you experience a lot of bugs where you had to use the console? Because I had to use it a lot and that might have broken something. But if you did not, then the problem might be somewhere else.

I apologise, I only had to use one with craterside supply.

Now I installed "Broken Steel Skip Ending Movie" from Nexusmods (apparently necessary?), let Sarah enter the code, did enable playercontrols in the console and now I can speak to Lyons, but the (german) voice is missing. Just the subtitles and gestures, no lip movement, no voice. This seems to only affect story-dialogue.
Now I can get to Rothchild in front of the map, then red triangles pop up (missing mesh) and the game is stuck again -,-
I think this game is fubar on my pc.

The simplest way to fix this Vice is to uninstall Fallout 3 and then reinstall it. Be sure to delete the old folder in the the Steamapps common location. Your saves r not located there, so u shouldn't lose them, though admittedly to fix it completely u might have to startover.

After reinstalling the game, IMPORTANT, make sure that upon first booting the game u go to the Data Files and have ALL the dlc flagged to run before u click play.

Installing the DLC after u have been playing the game for awhile seems to cause weird syncing issues and crashes. All sorts of craziness that is excessive, even by Bugthesda standards.
