Searched on here for a FO3 profile, didnt find a good one. Here is my creation. It's very thorough: only time I need to touch the keyboard is to access the cheat console/type. Emphasis is on making a logical layout with minimal confusion--therefore many actual keystrokes "A" for example are duplicated on more than one controller key.

Notes:

Left stick will walk/run dependant on how far you push the stick.

Button "2" is multifunction interact/use/pickup/exit/pip boy: tap button to open NPC dialogs, pick up items, exit trading, etc. To pull up/put away PIP Boy, make sure you're not pointed at something subject to interaction and hold button 2 momentarily. To turn on the flashlight hold button 2 longer until the light turns on/off.

Pip Boy can also be accessed directly as a shifted command (left top bumper-button 2)

Button 1 will "accept" (traders).

VATS is set up to scroll around using the D-pad, provided you move the mouse pointer off NPCs. Up/Down will select different areas on an NPC to target, Left/Right will target next/previous NPC in the field of view...no need to "mouse around", just move the cursor to the left/right edge of the screen and control VATS with the D-pad, Fire and Button 2.

Long lists of inventory items will scroll using D-pad up/down, provided the mouse cursor is "touching" the list you want to scroll. Hold to quickly go through a long list.

Waiting: hold the D-pad (Right) button until the dialog appears, use d-pad up/down for length of time and then press the left stick up to wait.

Aim/Scope (button 3) is a cycled command which also decreases mouse sensitivity for easier sniping. Mouse sensitity is also decreased while pressing either left bumper intended for menu precision.

One bug to this layout I decided to live with: never try to exit the PIP Boy using the multifunction (button 2) while viewing Stats/Radiation. The list of commands assigned to button 2 will inadvertantly use a Rad-X in inventory before exiting PIP Boy. Switch PIP display to any other screen, then exit PIP Boy (or use the Shift-Button 2 method to exit).

Hot Keys are assigned while viewing PIP Boy inventory to shifted 8-way Dpad, and can (awkwardly) be assigned by Hold(shift-Dpad), right fire button click over intended hot key item. Experiment a couple times you'll get it.
This is MY control version for Fallout 3. i do not know if its the same, similar, or the complete opposite of the PS3 version.

Here is a profile for Fallout 3 using "Logitech cordless Rumblepad 2" using XP.
It does most functions similar to playing xbox360. :)
(On a different point - I tried to get the microsoft 360 controller to work and it does not work all the time so this is why I gave up on using it and switched to the dependable Logitech! The USB driver for the 360 is too unreliable. Also, forget about using at all with Vista.)

Here is my version for a Fallout 3 profile for a PS2. I set the fire button to have a rumble effect but for some reason I don't have any feedback. If it works for someone please PM me or relpy.
