After 3 days of multiple mods combinations and new installs, i've managed to make the most stabile and extensive game i've ever had so far, but damn was it hard on my patience.

Other than that NV:UE goes on sale on pc for like 5 bux during the summer, its easy to pirate, and runs on toasters, not really.
I put over 100 hours in on xbawks before pc, I still had fun, but now I can never go back.
>>339739118
You honestly need multiple installs of the game, each set up with a certain gameplay focus.
And dotn even get me started on TTW.
I'm using a pirated version of NV and 3 and working around the TTW installer, installing all the mods and then somehow making it work after all this is the most frustrating shit i've done so far concerning modding.
And to top it all of, once you got a good install going with all the proper mods, you either find out that there's a new or better mod that you definetly need oryou have to update one of the mods you already have, which breaks everything else.
Just started playing this game for the first time, man is is much more boring after playing the bethesda fallouts. Sure it has a better story and lore but god its so fucking boring, idk what is wrong, im trying to enjoy it but its so fucking boring i cant play it for more than 1 hour. Help
>>339739452
You can use the TTW installer to make a fomod for MO, that's what I ended up doing, despite owning the UE on steam. The silver lining is that it's saved to an MO profile.
Even with MO, shit like >>339739161
kills me. I once spent five hours trying to debug OneHuds compatibility with DUI, turns out the compatibility patch I downloaded was corrupt. Once I redownloaded it, they merged like a dream.
>>339739743
>MO
I honestly fucking hate that thing.
Whenever i manually install all mods and then use loot+wrye flash+GeMM to check if there are any conflicts, it works a thousand times better than when i have MO take care of the installing.
The one thing i really like about MO is the whole directly downloading from the nexus thing.
Makes the whole thing a lot easier.
>>339739942
So you're telling me that manually installing creates alot less problems then when i let an installer do it? That, and avoid compatability patches?
>>339740115
Well for me it just worked out better when i did everything manually, cant guarantee that its the same for everybody.
Its also kind of a pain sometimes because its a bit more work than using Mod Organizer.
And the thing with compatability patches is just that you really really have to remember what mods you already have installed and in what order said mods+compatability patch you have to install them in.
Some mods overwrite each other so you have follow a pattern for the whole thing to work properly.
Its just and honest to god pain in the ass sometimes.
Thing is, you'll get a guaranteed crash if you dont use the compatability patches, so you better bring a lot of patience when trying to get the whole thing to work.
>>339739942
I run FNVEdit and Wyre Bash through MO, and it's already integrated with LOOT, for (sometimes) helping with load order. Running executables for each virtual install is wicked nice. And yeah, the direct download is great, the organization options are breddy gud too, especially for when you get over 200 modsmy real number is way over 500, but i only play with a quarter of those
>>339740115
I'm not >>339739942
but there are several aspects of managers that dramatically reduce time of certain aspects of modding, and if you screw up manual installs, you have to redownload/restore your main game folder. There's plenty of tutorials out there to help, unfortunately most take far too long to explain simple concepts. I like gopher's tuts, but has a voice for writing, and someone else in this thread probably has a quicker guide.
>>339740489
Having all the utilities you need basically all together on one platform, in this case MO, really makes it a lot easier, i have to admit that, but i can only say that manual installs have treated me better over the years.
In the end, i usually have to manually figure out which esp's dont work together by turning them on and off a couple hundreds of times, regardless of wether im using a manual install or MO, so in the end i'm still stuck with trying to get this shit not to go up in flames.
>>339739647
I found it pretty boring when I first started out, but I got much more enjoyment out of it when I got into collecting and modding guns and actually started listening to the radio.
>>339739179
all the DLC is 15 bucks each because microjews
also shittier grafix, performance, and no mods, plus I've heard of save bloat that can kill your system, but maybe that was PS3
>>339740820
Lel, I've abandoned countless profiles to just start over. That's part of the appeal for me, restarting is much quicker with MO once you get the hang of it, and UIO dramatically helped restarts with automatic .ini changes. But there's things you have to watch out for, like your file overwrite folder, certain permissions not working, etc.
For example, fucking enhanced camera is amazing, but fuccccck does it break with the most random of conflicts. I had to disable FPS Weapon Wheel, because no matter what order they were loaded, it broke first person deaths, which is my favorite part of the mod.
>>339741142
This, the game is an investment. Give the game your time and focus, and it will give back in spades.
>>339741321
>I had to disable FPS Weapon Wheel, because no matter what order they were loaded, it broke first person deaths, which is my favorite part of the mod.
This is one of the thing i will never get.
How these seemingly unconnected mods will just shit all over each other for seemingly no reason whatsoever at the most random of times.
Modding is a dark art indeed.
>>339741142
This. It gets alot better once you reach Vegas, when the world and story opens up, and you get your hands on some guns that aren't peestools.
reinstalled it a while ago but did not have urge to play because its one of those games that have shitty early game.
recommend me some mods that will not make it fucking dull and boring
What makes NV different from Fallout 3? I hate to say this publicly, but apart from the story being better, and a few changed skills, I cannot find any differences between the two.
I like both of them, and I'm not trying to shit on NV or anything; I've just never understood the arguement between F3 and FNV. The games look similar, and because I can't actually see any differences, I see both as good games.
So, how and why does Obsidian do a better job than Bethesda?

>>339742629
Well, Fallout is an RPG so characters, worldbuilding, setting, story, quests,roleplaying and character development count for a lot.
Obsidian absolutely blows Bethesda out of the water in all of those departments. Fallout: New Vegas has an immensely better realized and well written setting with well executed world building and atmosphere. That's not even mentioning the much, much better written characters that actually have personalities, arcs and feel like real people instead of 2D cutouts. The story of New Vegas is also a lot more compelling and is hugely open, reacting to your choices and your character. Seriously, go take a look at some of the branches that your choices can lead to in most of the quests. It can be insane at times.
There's also the fact that the content in New Vegas feels a lot better developed and more fulfilling, as most of the quests in Bethesda games like Skyrim and Fallout 4 are absolutely fucking boring repeatable dungeon crawl quests in uninteresting copy and paste dungeons.
In terms of roleplaying and gameplay, New Vegas is a massive improvement over Fallout 3. Your charater, for the most part, is up to you. All you get told is that you were a courier and you delivered packages. Everything else is up to you. The stat building system in New Vegas improves over Fallout 3 with added skills and the return of traits, as well as the addition of dozens of new perks that are interesting quirks that help develop your character rather than just flat stat boosts like in the Bethesda games.
The most important thing though, is that New Vegas feels like a real sequel to Fallout 2. And it feels like it had effort put into it.
A DISTANT HORIZON
>>339743324
Sawyer tested his mod with Normal difficulty in mind. I tried it with Very Hard and didn't have a good time either.
>>339743324
What? How does JSawyer slow anything down? Combat is more challenging under it if anything.
>>339743417I'm playing on normal
>>339743324
Play on Normal mode. It turns to bulletsponge-mode if you play on anything higher or lower.
>>339743467
Huh, weird. Sure you get damaged pretty easily, but so do enemies. IME things get easier and faster after you clear Primm, you get some decent guns and stuff.
>>339743324
I prefer JSawyer with perks every level, balanced be damned. Leveling just isn't as satisfying unless I'm getting both skills and a perk.
>>339743467
What's slow about it?
>>339743460
stricter weigh limit makes logisitcs trickier+leveling is like 10 times longer
>>339743467
You're low level my nigga. You're not supposed to be a badass Road Warrior yet. You're gonna be plinking shit until you get levelled and get better gear.
>>339743614
back in mah days we got perks only once per 3 levels
>>339743705
leveling skyrockets once you hit something like Dead Money
Weight limit is probably the biggest limitation of the mod. Learn to play around it, repair ED-E ASAP.
>>339739179
Have fun getting stuck between a garbage can and a wall with no way to turn off clipping and you haven't saved for an hour.
>>339742629
Pretty much every aspect of the writing from the worldbuilding to the companions to the overall thesis is done completely differently between the games, which is pretty important considering this is an RPG. The actual gameplay looks identical on the surface but NV expanded it quite a bit from FO3 with the inclusion of stuff like DT and ammo crafting, but weapon crafting was lost.
>>339743893
>oh no, I can't craft seven underpowered novelty weapons anymore
>>339743705
How the hell do you carry over 100 pounds anyway? Unless you're some hoarder.
Either way, if the weight limit bothers you that much pump points into strength, get the related perks and get a companion. Should be able to carry more than a pack Brahmin after that.
>leveling is like 10 times longer
Compensated by a lower level cap and the fact that with all the DLCs and skill point related perks, it became very easy to max skills fairly early on.
If you're used to playing shit like Project Nevada or whatever, the balanced slower paced RPG gameplay might take some getting used to, but by the time you reach Boulder City everything will feel right as rain.
>>339742629
NV doesn't have Three Dog. Instant quality improvement right there.
>>339743563
Hard is the patricians choice with JSawyer.
The health squish verses the damage intake is in perfect balance for humans, ghouls, super mutants and most animals. Death Claws still take a beating, but that really is to be expected.
One query I do have with the mod however is that I've found a bug and I have no idea how to fix it. On Hardcore mode, the "needs" don't start giving negative side effects until they hit 600, rather than 300. I like playing with hardcore mode on, but it renders some of needs pointless if I never get the negative effects from it.
>>339744096
Because one dawg aint enough, and two is too low
>>339743265
ENB looks fine if you get a good preset. Toasterfags don't need to pretend it's always a vaseline-covered bloom nightmare.
If you play with anything else other than vanilla, JSawyer or CCO you need to leave this thread right now. I'm sorry.
>>339743705
This is why a satchel/backpack mod works great with it.
A lot of these mods have backpacks which are themed (medical backpacks which give +5 medicine for example) or just straight up add more carry weight, at the cost of less AP.
>>339744041
I was pretty sore when I saw the Railway Riffle in the window of Mick and Ralph's but couldn't actually use it. NV's unique weapons more than make up for the lack of weapon crafting though.
>>339742629
The only thing 3 has over NV is random encounters, because Bethesda had more than 18 months to work on it
>>339744405
Definitely.
I VASTLY prefer New Vegas's sets of weapons and uniques to Fallout 4's fucking boring as fuck Minecraft crafting system and Borderlands loot.
>>339744310
The big debate
YUP or Mission Mojave?I think I'm in a minority who likes Mission Mojave more, because it also implements cut features and corrects some of the more "potato" like faces e.g. the Garrets
I'm trying to like this game but it's really hard so far. I'm on my mission to Prim to rescue sheriff Beagle, but i can't beat the boss of the gang that holds him. I'm currently at 2 hp and i do not have a clue of how i could regain my health fast so i can come back to the casino and kick his ass. I'm using a shotgun.
Also, should i stick with m+kb or is xbox gamepad a good option to play this game?
>>339744575
YUP+NV Uncut
>>339744575
Yup+cut content restored+new vegas redesigned 3 is what im running with atm
>>339744612
Stick with mouse and keyboard.
What difficulty are you playing on, and are you playing vanilla or modded?
>>339744612
Keyboard all the way.
ALso, what the fuck don't you have any Stimpacks? You should have some by now.
Are you playing it like a shooter?
>>339744575
>because it also implements cut features and corrects some of the more "potato" like faces e.g. the Garrets
Why would either of that matter? Bug fixing mods are supposed to fix bugs. Cut content restoration mods or NPC appearance overhauls should be separate.
>>339744310
There are a few improvements that CCO makes that really should have been part of JSawyer, like the way it handles weight limits. With 5 Strength, you have 150lbs carry weight which is the same as the original games.
>>339744310
>not playing one run with Realistic Weapon Damages and AI mods while pretending its an fps
>>339744575
Mission Mojave / Plus isn't a bad mod, it has loads of neat features, it gets a bad rep because as a "bug-fixing mod" it touches loads of worldcells and npcs, and needs compatibility patches for every major mod out there.
>>339744612
Dynamite is everywhere and doesn't really require any explosives to be good. When in doubt in the early game, use dynamite.
>>339744662
>>339744676
Is there a list that shows what YUP and MM actually fix? I'm being slowly persuaded towards YUP, but I need to know what does what first. Mission Mojave is currently bugged at the moment as doctor NPCs can't heal you, which is really annoying in my current "no fast travel" hardcore + Jsawyer run.
>>339744974
That's the advantage that YUP has, there's little to no risk of breaking anything.
And the mod page should list it.
>>339744974
I asume there's a changelog or something either on the nexus sites or as a readme once you've downloaded the mods.

Good point. Breaks the game in a few areas though.
>No NVAC or NVSE

>No WMX
Nice mod. Hardly what I'd call essential though.
>Freeside Open and oHUD are essentials
Both are de-console-ing the game. Freeside was meant to be an open space in development but consoles couldn't handle it. This is restoring that bugged content.
oHUD is essential because the default HUD is designed with consoles in mind and is fucking vomit inducing, and it makes it fade away after time.

I'd also put a shout out to http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/42316/? for fixing the Gecko armor aesthetic. I never got why they decided to leave the armor as their generic counterparts, and yet all the unique weapons had unique skins.

HH had the least development time out of all DLCs, I believe. Overall DLCs were made on a really tight schedule. OWB has a bunch of unique weapons that use generic models as well.

They look a bit androgynous but fuck me if it isn't better, at least the bloody textures, then potato, monocolored, clay, play-doh faces of vanilla.
>>339750336
Redesigned makes some bullshit decisions that I just couldn't use it even if FCO didn't exist.
>>339750632
just because it's better than vanilla doesn't mean it's good
Was New Vegas the best game released in the 7th generation?
>>339750720
No, but it means it's a fucking improvement, so why not use it?
>>339750814
I do use it but I just wish for something better you know? stop being so fucking angry, child

>>339751764
Yeah it's a really common attitude among new modders that any mod that claims it's "fixing" something by altering the design must be an improvement because it's a mod.
I used to use shitty mods like Nevada Skies, NMC and Project Nevada. Eventually I played a totally vanilla run through on a fresh install, and I actually liked it way better than the modded versions and came to appreciate the design decisions in the vanilla game. Haven't gone back to that amateur hour shit since.

I feel like NVR2 is good because he gives explanations for just about every change he makes to the game...

Get Redesigned 2, it has a Recommended version that changes a lot of stuff to the creator's tastes and a Lore version that just acts as a general facelift. Check the comparison images to see if you like it.

Right, anyone who actually has an opinion that differs from yours has bad taste.
>>339752352
It looks better then the play-doh faces of vanilla. Thus it's an improvement in my eyes and that's why I'm using it.
Fallout Redesigned, even though it's a nice idea, still looks like clay sculptures, although better, and some have way different looks then the general idea vanilla had. FCO actually retains the core of the face and builds on that.

Then of course you have NVR which is now going full retard by rerecording NPC dialogue.
And no, we don't just mean repeating the lines with a new voice. Completely rewriting characters. Cook-Cook for example is no longer the Fiend chef, but is called Cook-Cook because he likes "burning things". The new voices are also really badly done.
>>339748318
No, this one where you add the songs you want. I'll look up that one you mentioned, thanks.
>>339752970
Yeah, and it pissed me off when he actually changed the character's races because he didn't think they 'fit' the character. He said it broke immersion. Jesus, dude, no one gave a fuck.
>>339752850
I just wish it didn't have the horrible grainy texture to it.
All I wanted was some better, vanilla style textures with some corrections to the more potato like faces, and removing a lot of the "same face" from generic npcs.
I did use Hall of Face for the longest time before it started conflicting with body replacers I had.
>>339749698
The worst part is, you can't even fucking uninstall it if you use the character creator.
Your character will have no body after that and if you try using console command to fix it, your game will crash.

I think it fits with the general aesthetics of FNV, on the highest settings. The Mojave is a brutal desert after all.
But that's taste, some people love kawaii animoo faces in these games, and don't get bothered with how much it doesn't fit.
Only thing that really bothers me is the neck seams and mismatching bodies.
Is there any way of altering the needs on Jsawyers mod? I just want to change it back to vanilla 200 instead of 400
>>339753481

Ditto. Gamebyro is so shit.

Open it in FNVEdit and change the values for Dehydration Stage, Hunger Stage and Sleep Deprivation Stage. Should only take 2 minutes even if you've never used it before.

It's because Obsidian actually bothered to hotfix some of the bigger bugs, whereas Fallout 3 is still hit and miss on whether or not you can get it to work on anything other than windows XP or Vista.Of course NV on release probably wouldn't have been as buggy if Bethesda hadn't volunteered to do the q/a for them due to time constraints.
>>339754367
I'd have to imagine so but I've only ever done really light modding of the game, changing values and stuff, which can be done quickly in FNVEdit so I've never used the GECK extensively.

I actually used the Armored Vault 21 Suit for that character, but still.
A fairly vanilla playthrough is always the best. Sometimes I do JSawyer with a dash of PN for the nice tweaks in the NMC menu, and the occasional classic weapon added to the leveled list. I don't fuck with the cyberware, and turn off most of the other optional shit.

Find stations in town, repair them with science items (my hoarding of scrap metal, electronics, and fission batteries is what drove me overweight), and then you can hack it to reduce costs. Then, you pay 40-100 caps to fast travel to other activated stations.

NV is one of the few games I care to talk about anymore.
>>339749335
I haven't modded this game in years but I think Electro City had some issues. Or some mod by him, or was it MGE? Did he make that? I don't know, uninstall it anyways.
Can someone tell me why giving up on trying to remake the old world is such a bad thing? It's a long shot and optimistic and it's sorta interesting how the game makes it a decent point. But why do people just tag it onto Mr.House saying he just wants to hold onto whats left of the Old World to him, The NCR for trying to rebuild it, or praising Ulysses for talking about it so damn much. It's a neutral point guys, I have no idea why these threads are always so one sided on this issue.
bump so I can write a long response to >>339770356
>>339770356
I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about because you lost me at implying anyone praises Ulysses instead of relentlessly making fun of him any time he's mentioned. But the entire point of NV is that people need to let go of the Old World and embrace the new world, not just because the Old World ended in a nuclear war but because being too attached to an idealized version of the Old World or failing to create new systems and institutions that encourage progression instead of regression are among the causes of social stagnation. The wastes are too different from the Old World to use its models of leadership and civilization, new models must emerge to fit the circumstances and environment.
>>339770356
> giving up on trying to remake the old world is such a bad thing
People like the old times, or at least the ideals of what they've been told of what the past once was. They find ancient books, magazines, artifacts, and ruins that show signs of power, wealth, and knowledge that can barely be made physical in this recovering world, and, in places like the Mojave, it is evident that trying to just rebuild is a moot point. People want towers of luxury, their own car and home, and to win big at the Vegas slots, but the world is harsh and unforgiving, and it is not a place, yet, for such ideals. There needs to be conquest, security, and stability for the dreams of the old to be eventually settled, but that time is still a ways away.
As is depicted throughout the game and DLC, technology has brought both wonder and horror. From the safety of securitrons and strength of laser weapons, set against the toxic smog of the Sierra Madre, the fungal growths of Vault 22, the killer science experiments and machines of the Big MT, and the wastes of the Divide, this is all the result of human technology. This is the progress of humanity's past, and, as NCR scientists look towards recovering the data, may repeat once again. The desire to move on can be interpreted as a fear of failing once again, driving an already miserable mankind into a state of impossible recovery.

>>339772250
New Vegas is set, chronologically, at a unique place in history, the cornerstone between chosing between the Old and the New. As the ruins of a city, Vegas has its old roots, habits, and sins that set it apart from other cities, and is managed by an old man held in stasis since the bombs fell. He knows the old world, and he can read it from the NCR's bureacracy, and desires his own autonomy. He looks east and sees the barbaric legions of Caesar, and knows that strength left unchecked and succession broken can cripple an empire.
Then, a courier comes along, wherever they may come from, and sees that power really lies in their hands, and they can ultimately decide who shall have control.
They see old relics from the past, the Brotherhood of Steel left to a bunker, the Jackal and Viper gangs left with one or two roadside encampments, the Enclave but a faded memory to a select few. The world is growing away from what it once was in the past 100 years, and mankind is finding its place once more.
Is the Courier to let a hopeful, young but slow and corrupt democracy try to shape America once more, clinging to the ideals of representation that gave Man hope? Will they let Caesar take the reigns, letting the powerful tribes obtain the power to shape history in favor of establishing new roots instead of trying to dig after old ones? Will they turn to the Man of Vegas, in his old wisdom, pragmatic and capitalistic in desires of corporate power? Or will they take their own route and let the Mojave fall under their own sway, independent, yet bending to their will as they've seen fit.
