Fallout 3 GOTY - Change Language from german to english

[TheDeadCalm]

Because of my awesome countrys laws, I can only play Fallout 3 GOTY in german. I'm not able to change the language in the settings and I can't change it in the FALLOUT.ini. Believe me the german voices are cringingly horrible.

Yeah, the german language pack for FO3 sucks. You can however change the language by downloading the english language pack from here[schote.biz] and enjoy the game in english. Might have to add the uncut-patch, too. It's some work to get it running, but it works.

All those links are dead :/

No they aren't. They're just extremely tedious to download.

Maybe you guys can help me. I downloaded the files and extracted them with FreeArc into the Fallout folder (steamApps - common - Fallout3). The texts are all english now, but the language is still german. I can't see what i am doing wrong, it's not that hard really. Do you guys have any idea?
p.s: i noticed that in the arc-file there is only a credits.txt, a textures.bsa and a Fallout3.esm file. Shouldn't there be more?

You realize you got to download the text patches, voice patches and probably also the DLC text and voice patches to make it work properly. Also, most files (all?) go into the Fallout3/data folder.

I try to download, but they are asking password.

The password is available on the page, right side.

Hey Folks,

its really going to be tedious to download all this stuff and now I wonder if its worth the effort.

• Does this Language Pack work on our Steam Versions?
  
• Will it translate every audio and subtitle/Menu-File?
  
• How do I install it?
  
• I read something about an Uncut Patch. Will this work with Steam Versions too?
  
• Will the Steam Version run with Windows 10? I saw it working smoothly on Windows 8.1, but the PC Owner said there were some fixes necessary.

I hope you can help me. I really want to enjoy this great game.

Thanks in advance and have a nice day!

1. Yes, steam is just a hub for games and place to easily manage and store games. It really doesn't normally change things in a game, it just houses the files and everything for it.

2. Possibly. There's always a chance it will fail.

3. Look on the website listed in one of the above posts. Normally, you will have to scroll on most mod pages for some reason, to look for it.

4. Yeah. Like I said, steam doesn't change anything.

5. Yep, but it's really tedious to fix and can take days, and at most weeks, to find the right fix that did the trick.
