How to skip starting intro
Open the Fallout_default.ini file in your Fallout 3 main folder.

Find the following lines:

SMainMenuMovieIntro=
SIntroSequence=

Change them to this:
SMainMenuMovieIntro=0
SIntroSequence=0

If it doesn't work yet :

Delete the FNVIntro.bik file located in Data/Video folder.

Now you don't have to repeatedly click through those slides !
How to edit FOV
  • Go to your Fallout 3 main folder
steamapps/common/Fallout 3
  • Edit the fallout_default.ini file
  • Search for 'FOV'
  • Then you can edit the values
Pip Boy FOV :
fPipboy1stPersonFOV=
Default FOV :
fDefault1stPersonFOV=
Terminal FOV :
fRenderedTerminalFOV=
How to edit Launcher music

  • Go to your Fallout 3 main folder
  • Delete this file : Main Title
  • Put you own music file (wave format) and name it like this : Main Title
How to edit Main Theme
  • Go to your Fallout 3/data/music/Special folder
  • The original music is : Main Title
  • Delete this file and replace it by your own music file (wave format)
  • Name your file like this : Main Title
How to change Pip-Boy color without mods
Open your FalloutPrefs file located in My Games/Fallout 3.

Search for :

uPipboyColor=

Just change the value (9 numbers). For example, if you want the same color as me (just check the screenshot above), edit the value to : 199999999.

is it color hexcode?

Here's a wiki tidbit that'll help you get the colors you want:

The color code used is a decimal representation of RGBA Hex code (Red, Green, Blue, Alpha in Hex). Basically, to get the correct numerical code for the color you want, you first have to work out its Hex value using this <a href="http://www.drpeterjones.com/colorcalc/" target="_blank">RGB Calculator</a> (click the Table link at the top, select a color, and see the resulting Hex code in the top left of the calculator). Copy this code and add two digits for the Alpha (transparency) value (FF is fully visible, 00 is invisible). Then plug the final 8-digit code into <a href="http://www.easycalculation.com/hex-converter.php" target="_blank">this page</a> and the resulting string of numbers in Decimal view can be used as values for the variables above.

Wait... you say the color entries are 9-digit numbers, but then you give 10-digit examples.

In game, you can only change your HUD/Pip color to blue, white, green... By editing the cfg file, you can create your own color kid.
