FNV to FO3

Post by **hever** » Wed Nov 25, 2015 10:52 pm

Hi Community,

I remembered reading the answer before but I can't seem to find it anymore. Do you have to start a new game in FO3 then go to New Vegas or can I install it like a mod and use my existing FNV save and go to the Capital Wasteland?

Thanks and sorry if I posted in the wrong section

It's not recommend to use existing saves from NV you could have glitches but some people have.

There is a start menu in the options which lets you choose to start in DC or NV but again you'll need to start a new game.

Thanks for the reply, I'm willing to face the glitches but how will I go about using an old NV save and travel to FO3? Does this skip the whole playing as a child chapter?

Yes I think ( but am not sure ) hacking Moriartys terminal will start the fo3 main quest.

Here is a link to a thread showing how at least one player used a FNV save game:

I have never tried it but it may work for you. At least you will be skipping the deadly boring FO3 introduction.

we can't actually explain how screwed up your game may get if you use an existing FNV save, but it can get really unplayable really quickly.

If you play it using an existing FNV save I hope all goes well with your game, but be prepared to discard that save and have to restart IF you get problems later because it might not be possible to fix it.

Hope it all goes well and you have fun playing TTW
