I'm afraid you are missing the point. Fallout 3 offers people WITHOUT widescreen monitors (and people running Fallout 3 in windowed mode) widescreen resolutions that are letterboxed. Then if 4:3 users won't get an expanded 16:9 frame as a result of the letterboxing, why have black bars at all? Why ...

The size would be keyed to the vertical, much of which is cut off by the letterboxing, If they made it hor +, there wouldn't be any letterboxing, and the same image would have 100% of the height no matter what AR you use. I'm afraid you are missing the point. Fallout 3 offers people WITHOUT widescre...

Letterboxing on 4:3 monitors won't make it any tinier than it already is, you know. If the game did a Hor+ instead of a Ver- it would. The size would be keyed to the vertical, much of which is cut off by the letterboxing, meaning the same image would be 1/2 to 2/3 of the height, and since aspect ra...

1280x768 (1.67:1) is not an available resolution to me or even one of the aspect ratio profiles in the game options, so I guess no it's not available without editing. 1280x720 is available, as is 1280x800. Regrettably, precisely 1280x768 is not. If you are letterboxing, I would suggest one of the a...

For those of you having problems with the computer terminals being off the screen, open up my documents/my games/fallout 3 and edit fallout.ini edit fDefaultFOV=75.0000 to 150.0000 this changes the menus FOV not the game! so the pipboy, hacking terminals and lock picking screens appear how they sho...

I never understood why there is this ... sometimes arrogant assumption that if you are in a widescreen resolution, you MUST be in the right resolution to see every pixel, even if it is not relevant to the game. Now I will mention that I *DO* play in widescreen, including in Fallout 3. I have not fou...
