📋 About This Mod
I got tired of running through the tutorial and since I had to reinstall the game I decided to run though the tutorial one last time before I reinstalled all my add-ons and mods and set that save aside. Well, one thing let to another and I figured that I may as well make a save for each of the race/gender combinations (and no, I did not run though the tutorial eight times.)
This mod provides 8 save files for Fallout 3, one for each race and gender combination, all positioned at the exit of Vault 101. It's a simple convenience mod for players who want to skip the intro and start with a character of their choice. With 151 endorsements and 5,279 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated utility.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Saves you the hassle of replaying the intro for each new character (151 endorsements back this up)
- Covers all race/gender combos, so you're not locked out of any character type
- Lightweight and simple—just drop the saves in and go
⚠️ Cons
- Old mod (last updated in 2009) might not be compatible with newer game patches or DLC
- Saves are at the Vault 101 exit, so you still miss any early-game choices or items from the vault
- Potential conflicts with mods that alter the starting area or quests
For Fallout 3 players who've played the intro dozens of times and just want to jump into the wasteland with a specific race/gender. Also handy for testing character builds quickly. Skip if you enjoy the role-playing of the intro or use mods that change the starting experience.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the save files in your Documents/My Games/Fallout3/Saves folder, and make sure they match your game version (e.g., GOTY vs. vanilla).
- If you use mods that alter the starting area, load the save and immediately test for conflicts before investing time.
- Back up your existing saves before overwriting any slots with these files.
