Why aren't you fisting deathclaws to death on very hard mode?

What does the skill requirement for a weapon do? Do you do a lower percentage of damage if it's lower? Does having skills above the requirement help at all?

Ballistic fist imo.

>>
>>342107494
I think im with you the explosion has rarely been useful
>>
>>342107015
Affects damage
Guns spread increases and melee/unarmed weapons will attack slower, if you don't meet reqs.
Going past skill req means more damage, and lets you use higher-tier weapons without above penalties

The traits are nice, but you can get by just fine without any so no its not really a waste.

>>342107252
if you have the Slayer perk, Love and Hate can take care of most enemies and you will want a Displacer Glove or Pushy to deal with Cazadors and Deathclaws. It does about the same amount of damage as a Ballistic Fist but it can also stagger enemies.

Is it worth giving up a real trait for it? Is there enough funny stuff/useful items? Does anyone here regularly do runs with wild wasteland?

the alien blaster is pretty OP, also what traits are you giving up that you think are too good to let go?

If you're not doing an RP build you can use 0 traits, they aren't straight up improvements like perks
WW doesn't even change that much, it's just a couple easter eggs here and there. The biggest difference is that it swaps out the mercs with a gauss rifle with aliens with alien pistol
The gauss rifle is better because it doesn't have permanently limited ammo.

There were no skellingtons in Vault 3, since the vaulters were still there until the Fiends killed them. The trash is literally from the fiends themselves; they don't give a damn about anything besides drugs and rape. If you tell them you're a Kahn (and thus can walk around normally) you can literally stealth-kill someone right in front of another Fiend and they won't even agro.

I don't think the game intended for him to be right. He's heavy handed and very drastic about his pain and his suggested course of action is very childish. Ulysses may pontificate but that doesn't mean he's right; it only means he's sophisticated about his anger.

Contrast this with Joshua, a similar character. Joshua is also advocating drastic action but because of the need for a greater good. He's convinced himself to an extent of his actions as a result of his past, but he is motivate by the need to protect those that have entrusted himself to him rather than just anger.

For me, it's one of the few things Bethesda has improved on, because it doesn't suck you immediately out of the game when you want to pick something up.

I just someone would just make a version where they used the vanilla font, and didn't have the bright orange/green bars in the middle of the screen when you loot something.

Massive oversight by Obsidian which luckily is fixed by mods.

Joe Cobb was out for himself and his gang only. They were Powder Gangers, but they wanted their own little town to push around. I never got how shooting him suddenly made you instantly vilified with the rest of the group. I should have made you shunned or hated, allowing you to have some chance of redemption. But as I said, the Powder Gangers add fuck all to the game so you might as well just defend Goodsprings at the start.

There is a splinter group inside Vault 19 who can join the Great Khans. However, they don't provide anything at Hoover Dam. It's more a case of "do you want to buy a shit load of dynamite from the Great Khans? Well now you can!"

Wouldn't make sense for them to join the Legion, but it would work if someone like Vulpes could manipulate them into blowing up NCR bases, and then after the Legion would just finish them off.

Options and choice. Every quest you receive, know there is an alternative means of completing that quest. Don't jump into the obvious option first because it might not necessarily be the best, and you could get gimped out of certain quests and items.

>What makes it so good?
I could probably fill up several posts wasting your time but on a short list:

1) Immersive, nuanced RPG where you get a fantastic level of control over your character, how they're built and how they interact and how they influence the world around them.
2) Wonderful world-building and story-telling, you come to really get engrossed in it over time and there's so much to it in terms of strong story conversations about it last half a decade following its release.
3) Extremely expansive, there are so many quests, weapons, locations, I find it nearly impossible to do it all in one playthrough, it's so huge for a relatively contained map that I still miss things on every playthrough I'm excited to find on another one like Westside or Searchlight. This adds really well to its replay-ability with how many unique characters you can make or fighting tools to use.
4) It's challenging, but has fantastic pacing and design of this world that doesn't keep you on rails and rewards appropriate exploration, it essentially fixes all the things that were wrong with Fallout 3's mechanics.

I could go on but I would say the one flaw: it's a bugged game, not enough QA went into it. I'd recommend YUP, Anti-crash, anti-stutter mods off of nexus to mitigate the crashes you'll experience. Otherwise, save often.

>Anything I should know before diving into it?
I would recommend installing the JSawyer mod, it's as close to a Director's cut you'll get for the game made by its actual director to fix numerous bugs and balance issues he wanted to install, plus it makes the game a little more challenging. Turn on Hardcore mode for certain, and besides that I can't really think what else to add other than make sure you invest a little bit in all skills, they're really useful as a whole to the game. And I recommend following the suggested South path after Goodsprings.

One additional thing >>342139923 touched upon regarding mods, don't fall for the Nexus Mod Manager meme. It's clunky and buggy.

Mod Organizer is a far better alternative if you want to eventually start playing around with mods, and as the anon said, vanilla+ mods like JSawyer and YUP are highly recommended.

Bug fixing mainly. JSawyer doesn't fix as many bugs as you may think, and it certainly doesn't fix as many DLC related problems as the YUP does.

They both work in contingency with each other so don't worry about any overlap or clashing.
There is Mission Mojave, but some of the changes are more cosmetic than actually fixing bugs. There is also a big issue with it at the moment regarding healing at doctors, where they simply won't do it. You cripple your legs, you best find a doctors bag or you're fucked.

Yes. You need the GOTY edition of F3, and the Ultimate edition of New Vegas.

I think you need official copies as well, I don't think it runs with a pirate copy.

>>
>>342147713
>>342147353
There's an option that gradually reduces xp awarded so you gain levels slower and slower
But I think you should try it even if you just want to play Fallout 3 (if you can bother installing it of course, it takes a while)
It adds proper crafting instead of that awful workbench menu, cooking, making your own ammo, iron sights for the weapons, weapon modifications and it generally runs surprisingly smoother and with less crashes

So i've beaten this game a few times on my consolecuck 360 version. I'm building a custom pc atm though (just waiting for the polaris cards to come out)

>>342147713
>what's the point?
Fallout 3 running with many of the features included by NV can actually make a somewhat enjoyable experience. GRA challenges, new recipes, new guns, Capital Wasteland faction system etc.

Fallout 3 also has some weird issue with people running it on Windows 7 or higher, where it simply refuses to play. So for some people, running it through New Vegas is the only way to play it.

>do Fallout 3 mods work on TTW?
A lot of them do yes.
>>
>>342148179
>A lot of them do yes.
They have to be converted via a FNVEdit script though
Most of them can be found already converted on the TTW forums, and often times combined with the respective NV version of the mod

With TTW there is an additional plugins set of mods for better integration between both games. If you prefer NV skill checks rather than the "percentage checks which aren't based on luck at all and the % is there to allude and confuse you", there is a mod which changes all of Fallout 3's checks to NV style ones.
