> [@Bashorian](#): > > (I think most, if not all, of these games are category:free-to-play, but maybe not; I haven’t been through all of them yet) World of Warships is F2P. They get you with purchases in the game but you can, in theory, never pay a dime. It’s a pretty great game inasmuch as they have done a fantastic job at modelling the ships and the gameplay is pretty fun. It is multiplayer only (each match are two teams pitted against each other). ---

That’s definitely been a free game before, possibly even this year. ---

FO3 was a free game last year (October, 2022). Note that the Fallout Script Extender (FOSE) does not work with the Epic version of Fallout 3, due to the fact that FOSE effectively hacks into the game engine and therefore must be built against each individual version of the game executable. For those that aren’t aware, FOSE is not in itself a mod, but it adds additional functions to the game engine that other mods can use. If you can’t get FOSE to work, then you will be limited to only using mods that don’t require it. This mod claims to make FOSE compatible with the Epic version of FO3 (along with other versions) by downgrading the game executable. I have never tried it so I have no idea if it works or not. > **[Fallout Anniversary Patcher](https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/24913)** > > Downgrades the game for FOSE support and more. Includes 4GB patch, mod limit fix and GFWL removal. GOG, Steam and Epic Games compatible. FYI - Fallout New Vegas has the same issue. NVSE (NV Script Extender) doesn’t work with the Epic version of FNV. I don’t know if there is a patcher available for it or not. If you don’t plan on modding your game, then this isn’t an issue, ---

Yeah, it’s definitely not perfect but it was fun. I liked the humor, the gameplay was nice, and the story was good. My favorite part was how much you could customize gear. When I figured out how to do that, that’s when I really got invested in the game. There was nothing revolutionary about it and it had many flaws but it satisfied the most important thing for me, which was having fun. ---
