Hi, as the topic says, I'm wondering whether I can import a character from F3 to NV. Or is NV a totally different storyline/game that requires you to start at lv1 again?

No, you cannot import Fallout 3 characters.

nope.

it would be absolutely stupid if you could.
The lone wanderer should stay in the capital wasteland where he belongs.

This.

nope u cannot import the lone wanderer he's somewhere in the capital wasteland doing whatever he does best

no. importing from fallout 3 is impossible.
(without mods)

You can't do this officially (as its not intended in the game), but they give you the tools to mod... so you could (if you really wanted to), design a FO:NV character with the same stats and perks (minus the ones they have removed), and set your XP's manually. This (in theory) could give you a good approximation of your PC, and you can "role play" him or her having hiked it out to Vegas on foot. (But I don't recommend this, as its not likely to be half as much fun as you'd think).

there is also, the F_F_B version of "bring your LW to new vegas". which works as long as you have MZ.

Even with mods. Impossible.

Correct answer. Closed as resolved.
