I clicked on that link. Saw the first chain of comments (or whatever you call it).
I have no words. Is this what reddit really is ? A permanent circlejerk of unfunny jokes and retards thinking they're being smart and witty ?

Is reinstalling the only way to fix having a shit ton of missing models?
>>342446649
As if the normal brush gun wasn't OP enough.
One of my favorites was definitely the 50 cal. Also a Light Shining in the Darkness. I liked that gun so much I made the standard 1911 have similar stats in GECK, and started rebalancing all the pistols around that. Let everyone in the wasteland wreak havoc with all their glorious OP bullshit.
>>342446649
I could never play FO3 or NV because I keep getting the sliding bug where you keep moving in the direction you were going for almost a full second after you let go of the movement key. It's a common bug that makes them unplayable and Bethesda apparently never bothered to try and fix it.
>>342451783
Sometimes you can fix it yourself in GECK or by uninstalling what's causing you issues but it really is a pain in the dick. Try uninstalling mods and reverting to older saves.
Also try mods that encompass a lot of things together. Me personally I dabbled A LOT modding FO3. Downloaded a bunch of shit, I rebalanced the guns, armor, basically everything. It was a lot of fun. Most of it worked, there were a few hiccups here and there. I'm gonna try reinstalling the game on my new drive and just stick with Wanderer's Edition since it compiles a lot of shit together.
I just hope it works with the 1911 mod...that's literally the only other thing I want. Gun is too sexy not to be in the game.
>>342452160
strange, try any unofficial patches? Shit never happened to me in vanilla.
If you haven't played either you really are missing out. They're both terrific games in their own unique ways...definitely each with their own unique flaws as well

Thanks aye, I'll give that a try.

posting my list of mods as usual
http://pastebin.com/nBaNgySn
>>342452415
I'll look into that, thanks. Though IIRC, the unoffical patches didn't fix it. It had something to do with the game engine disagreeing with hardware.
Why the fuck did Obsidian get lazy with balance and just level scaled all the enemies in the DLCs?

All American was pretty disappointing for me. It was a multitool; it could do long/medium/short range but there were other options that did each thing better. I kept it around only to make sure my 5.56 ammo didn't weigh me down.

I just wanted to be a savage wasteland loli anon. I didn't know I'd give them cancer.
I am doing an RP of an 80's cartoon character soon (Anime or western).
7 decides my character and what I have to do.
Dubs triumph over 7 of course.
>>342453919
>>Actually liked the F3 intro
I liked the FO3 intro. I played NV first, seeing all those vaults and the people who came from them. Those people stood out as weird, from another world almost.
So then I start a game in FO3, knowing nothing about it, and it's inside of a vault. That was cool. I got to see what life was like inside of the vaults. It felt safe too, cozy, clean, impenetrable. It felt like a privilege because I didn't have any clue about what was outside, other than it being horrific out there.
Starting the game as a toddler was an interesting idea, and it being where you chose part of your attributes was new and fresh, even though the game was released 7 years ago.
I've never played that intro more than once though. It would probably be really annoying the second time.
>>342454048
>Enclave is cooler than The Legion
you also can't interact with them at all, they are just basic villains. At least you could join the legion
>Malcolm McDowell as President Eden is better than any voice acting in New Vegas, even though Dave Foley is utterly fantastic as Yes Man.
No arguments there
I don't know I liked this song from NV but it only played a few times (DLC)

>I just wanted to be a savage wasteland loli anon. I didn't know I'd give them cancer.
You- You gave them cancer, Anon.
>>342453794
I'm not going to read that blog, but the screenshot has a point, even if it's a shitty. misdirected point. The other games make it so you're personally invested in what's happening, while NV is more of a random character plopped into a world that doesn't give a shit about you and it's up to the character to decide what they want to do with it. The courier's motivation is up to the player and how they want to roleplay.
I wish NV would have kept the option to just head back to NCR at Outpost because it would have driven this point home much better.
>>342454608
The main complaint is that it is too long and rail roads your character.
You are specifically told that you are 18 when you leave the vault, limiting some RP potential. NV opening... you are a courier who got shot in the head.

Cyborg cowboy. No matter what armour you wear, you always have to have a cowboy hat on. Energy weapons are your main, unarmed is your secondary. Must get all the enhancing implants from Dr. Usanagi. Legion are your worst enemy.
>>342452839
It scales to the level you are at the time of starting it.
If they did it any other way then you would be forced to go in at X level, or it would be too hard, or too easy
There's literally nothing wrong with scaling in this scenario
>>342454916
Is this a mod, or just a worthless render?
>>342454841
>The main complaint is that it is too long
I was ok with the length. You get to see what life might be like for people growing up their entire youth in the vault. Also, the bb gun from dad for your birthday in the reactor area reminded me of going shooting with my dad. It was nice.
>and rail roads your character.
That's not a problem specifically with the intro. The whole main plot railroads your character.
>You are specifically told that you are 18 when you leave the vault, limiting some RP potential. NV opening... you are a courier who got shot in the head.
Yeah. You can create your character to look old too. It messes everything up. The blank slate is better.

You do it once or twice, then every time after it's a boring slog.
The main plot DOES railroad your character, that's the problem.
>>342455661
>It's too long for multiple playthroughs
>You do it once or twice, then every time after it's a boring slog.
Yes. I've only done it once. That was my caveat. I thought it was damned clever but even when I was playing it and enjoying the experience I was consciously aware that it could only be good the first time.

>Cyber dogs in Big MT take three .50 cal crits to the head at level 30.

I hauled ass through the whole opening and it still took 27min or so
If it was like half that time it would be bearable
>>342453794
>>342455868
That seems to be the problem with a lot of Bethesda's games in general, they're starting to care less and less about replay value
>>342455960
That's not what level scaling is. OWB creatures are tough, maybe a little too tough, but it doesn't have anything to do with level scaling.
>>342455960

Wait, how long as there been shit going on in the DC wasteland? Perhaps the Vaults just opened recently so there hasn't been 200 years worth of progress going on?
>>342456430

You realize you're supposed to cripple limbs, right? Bear trap does extra damage to limbs
Crippling ghost limb = dismemberment and instant death

>>342456641
>Crippling ghost limb = dismemberment and instant death
Wait, really?
>>342456804

Companions tell you
It's in loading screens
Yes, really. You're not supposed to take their health to 0, you aim for their legs and arms for quick kills.
>>342456187
>I almost had to quit, they soaked up bullets like they were nothing and you don't get a decent gun for the first stretch
The enemies were even worse in Point Lookout from FO3. There are common enemies there with over 400 hitpoints. Even with a laser gatling dealing 75 damage you have to hose them down for three seconds to kill them.
It just feels like the game is jerking your chain. It's not that they are necessarily a mortal threat, it's just a pain in the ass. Killing them takes 3-4 times as long and it's a grind.
>>342456561
aim for the limbs, seems like a crippled arm kills them.
>>342456514
OWB throws all kinds of weapons with robo-killing bonuses at you though, they don't take many whacks with the inversal axe or shots with the pulse gun to take down.
>>342456461
Vault 13 opened in Fallout 1. There were towns and villages with trade routes already established.
I didn't play the first game and yet I know that.
>>342456430
>>He doesn't know how to play Caravan
Never bothered learning.>>342456735
>So what you're saying is that this game is too hard for you?
No. What ends up happening is that you have to shoot
>>342453419
I always wore JG's armor partnered with the First Recon Beret. I, to the disgust of my compatriots, always used theAll American.I hardly ever used VATS, so having a multi tool suited my playstyle very well.
>>342456884
They tell you to dismember them after death, not that crippling a limb=instant death.
>>342456970
>you have to shoot
Heaven forbid!
Maybe you should make a mod so you can negotiate with those mean old roboscorpions
>>342456976
The All-American is a beast in VATS. It costs only a few AP per shot.
>get the pardon letter from Crocker
>idolized by the NCR, but still get attacked by them
Any way to fix this shit, or am I going to make this a Legion playthrough?
>>342456735
>So what you're saying is that this game is too hard for you?
No. I had this problem with Point Lookout in FO3 too.
The enemies are bullet sponges. You end up shooting them 8 times with one of your most powerful weapons to kill them. All it does is make the fight last longer than it has to. It's like grinding. It's annoying.
>>342456960
Probably because Vault 15 opened 20 years earlier
>>342457034
I don't know how someone could have played through dead money even once without realizing it. Did you just aim for torsos the whole time? Even aiming for the head would kill them before their health reaches 0.
>>342456895
>>342456514
Not that anon, but I recently finished my 2nd playthrough of OWB and it cannot be overstated what a fucking slog it is at level 25+. Even with EMP weaponry, it takes something like 7 - 13 swings to kill a single Roboscorpion, and all the while its friends are waiting for their turn or blasting you from behind. It isn't challenging, it isn't fun; it's just tedious.
Level scaling in OWB fucking sucks, I don't know why it's ONLY OWB.

They really ought to put a warning on it to that effect

>>342454778
Except New Vegas is that game that allows personal investment. It allows you to make choices based on your own morals, ideologies, and opinions, and confronts you with the consequences of those choices. That's personal investment. You're invested, because you're the one who decided to destroy the securitrons or back House or whatever instead of deciding something else.
How is chasing after someone else's dad supposed to make you feel invested? Just because he's voiced by Liam Neeson? And let's not pretend there's another option besides ignoring Fallout 3's garbage plot.
>>342456029
>FO3 introduced feral ghouls
Pretty sure they're just the Mindless Ghouls from Fallout 1
>>342457420
You're underlevelled, the game even warns you that from the start.
>>342457528
And Stay Back is the most powerful perk in the game. No deathclaw can touch you when you have a shotgun.
>>342457246
>>killing a tough enemy is grinding
Why don't they just x10 all the enemy health, along with yours, so you all have to stand there pumping lead into each other for three days before someone dies? I'm sure that will improve gameplay.
It's not like a gun fight is supposed to be fast paced or anything. I mean, a gunfight is like the Grand Championship of Rochambeau, Titaniumscrote McGee vs Diamondnuts Smith, right? 9 straight hours of trading groin shots. Riveting.

>>342457208
It's because it isn't the scaling that's the issue.
The enemies are ridiculous regardless of level.

None of the game is fast-paced, it's an RPG, not an FPS. The DLC is no different, and is intended for high-level characters. If you want it to be an FPS, install some mods.

Does anyone use perks for extra SPECIAL? I want to max out my luck.
I also blew a perk on explorer so I could see where everything was. Is it just me or are the perks not that attractive? I'm level 30 on a pretty much all-rounded guy and got the perk that boosts skill gain from books before finding every book in the main game.
>>342457716

>>342457613
Screw that. If it weren't for the stat checks, I'd be oblivious to it. I need to complete the game fast to avoid the slowdowns that come from playing NV on consoles for too long. I only have so much RAM, and when you run out, you run out. The game is unplayable after the save file reaches 10mb, and the DLCs only make it worse. So I'm doing everything now now now. Currently at 5mb. At this rate, I'll be out of steam by level 24.
>>342457852
Use some mods to change things up, I know there's one that adds a ton of new perks that are quite fun.
It has enough variety to make new games play very differently.
>>342457973
Just play on PC, even shitty toaster laptops can run it with mods nowadays.

>>342457818
>None of the game is fast-paced, it's an RPG, not an FPS.
The rest of the game plays like an FPS just fine, considering that I'm running around in first person shooting things. The rest of the game is a FPS, with a turn based combat option.
FPS/third person shooter is a gameplay mechanic that is obvious within seconds of playing the game. RPG and FPS are not mutually exclusive. If it wasn't an FPS the entire combat scheme would be VATS.
The character stats, leveling and characterization is what makes it an RPG, not turn based combat.

You might have ADD if New Vegas gunfights are too long for you. Yes, it takes a few shots to take down the heavily armored warbots. You have 4 options:
1.) Get a better gun/change ammo
2.) Take some drugs and become invincible
3.) Change the difficulty setting, you obviously aren't having fun with the current one
4.) Play a different game
>>342458058
Yeah but why play with a m+kb? Controllers are so much better.
>>342457973
My low-end laptop from 4 years ago can max this game, there's really no excuse for playing in on consoles. You could buy a used prebuilt for $150 online that could max it.
>>342458145

The more you play, bigger your save gets

>You might have ADD if New Vegas gunfights are too long for you.
It's the DLC. Not the main game.
They didn't make the combat more difficult. It only took me a couple fights to learn how to not die. They just made it take longer to kill everything, which just creates tedium.
>>342458514
>Some people have more issues than others, but it's rarely an issue on PC.

>360 version is similar but not as bad.
ah, that would explain it
>>342457852
Individually, most perks aren't gamechanging. You have to focus them to reap any massive benefits.
>Does anyone use perks for extra SPECIAL? I want to max out my luck.
I typically take one or two ranks of Intense Training to get my endurance up for implants, but beyond that the perks are better spend elsewhere. For luck you can start at 7 and still max it out through implants, clothes and quest awarded perks without using any leveling perks. Lowest you can go while still getting 10 is probably 6 with a Legion playthrough.
>>342458776
Whatever PC you have, Fallout 1 and 2 will run just fine, make sure to get the unofficial patches that restore cut content and such.

I almost used STALKER as an example. Through the main game the gunfights are like STALKER.
But then some of the DLC areas from FO3/NV have enemies that give enemies 3/4/5/6/7 times more health.
>>342458670
There aren't even any commies in the game. What's the point?
>>342458561
Comprehension keeps being useful after you've hit the level cap
>>342458776
For some reason, Bethesda's flavor of gamebryo HATES playstation consoles. 3 & NV eventually corrupt, Skyrim DLC never made it to PS3, F4's Far Harbor had to be re-released for PS4 because it was broken.
>>342458902
>the main game the gunfights are like STALKER
Not really. If you're playing on normal then most enemies will go down quickly, but the player can soak up damage just as much as enemies from the DLC. Again, if you want a fast-paced FPS, you have to mod it.
>>342458967
The NCR, boomers, BOS and legion are commies.
>>342458327
That's more a testament to Bethesda's shitty worldbuilding than anything else. Had they gone with the original premise and made Fallout 3 take place 50 years after the war there would be less problems.
>>342449617
It's like /v/ but worse. Kinda impressive how they manage to achieve that
>>342458967
Friend, that sounds like the sort of seditious lie a COMMUNIST would spread!
You're not a Communist, are you Citizen?
>>342453454
Looking at that, it's an issue with loadorder. One of the mods which loads after whatever hairmod you're using conflicts with it. If I had to guess, I would say your hairmod is conflicting with a large-scale NPC revamp mod that changes the default hair. Use Loot or Boss (I forget which is most recent) to sort your load order. Also create a bashed patch.
>>342458869
thanks for the info. was going to torrent them, but might just buy them on stream and find the patches you mentioned just so everything goes smoothly
>>342459040
I never had a problem with NV or FO3 but Skyrim was so fucked i had to return it because every time i even made a save file the whole thing got corrupted and i had to restart
same thing happened with GTAV but thats a whole different story
>>342458686
Take option 4 if one enemy type in a short DLC is putting you off the game so much.
>>342459253
Just torrent them, I'm fairly sure any new purchase gives money to Bethesda and they don't deserve to profit from a game they didn't make.
>>342459352

>>342459352
What if they notice New Vegas sales are going up and they decide to give Obsidian another Fallout to work with?
>>342459721
>believing they'll ever do that
Look how far they've distanced themselves from NV, they know their games are shit but they don't want Obsidian getting any of their "hard earned" NEETbux
>>342459721
A lot of people who worked on New Vegas don't work at Obsidian anymore
Does Ulysses ever use his Anti matter rifle?
>>342459817
>make god tier game
>don't work at company anymore
Did they all quit to work somewhere else or did they get fired?
What's /v/'s favorite quest mod? Mine is Milkman.
>>342460115
Obsidian has been in a tough spot for the last decade or so, it wouldn't surprise me if they left to get jobs at more stable developers
Helping to make good games doesn't matter much if they don't pay well
>>342458847
>>342457985

What's the furthest in the storyline I can go before locking myself in with a faction? I'm trying to do everything on this guy.
Also, best 1handed gun in the game?
>>342460637
Yes Man and Caesar will ask you to kill House almost right away, while NCR will hold off on that for a good few quests
If you kill House, you can choose from between the other three until you fail either Don't Tread On The Bear or Beware The Wrath Of Caesar, you get a warning not to do that roughly a main quest in advanced
>>342459080

>>342459230
It had something to do with lings mods. I fixed it for Sunny, but I'll have to mess with load order to fix the other npc.
>>342452774
Colt 6520 for Fallout 4 when?
>He doesn't do a 10 luck crit build with the Dinner bell and compliance regulator
>Freeze opponent
>Blast with Dinner Bell point blank
Will there ever be a mod that makes FO4 more like a fallout game with actual meaningful character interactions and conversations?
>>342446649
Fallout 4 was a good game
>siding with the bear
You profligates don't actually do this, do you?
>>342461123
>switching weapons
You got beanbag rounds for that
How likely is it for a mod team to port NV over to FO4?
>>342461183
No, the amount of work required to re-write every quest and line of dialogue would be astronomical
Best you can hope for is a fan-made expansion that isn't shit
>>342457646
>air juggling boss monsters with unarmed
Crit unarmed is so much superior to melee if you don't mind using vats. Air juggled the bloat fly, that giant robot at the end of OWB and never had a problem with the scaling enemies due to VATS damage resistance, soloed the Deathclaw quarry...
I recommend the saturnite, super heated with pyromaniac. Pyromaniac is such a good perk it's crazy, turns common weapons into the top tier DPS.
>>342461320
The amount of content in FNV is too great most likely. Also a mod would need to add the ability to have more than 4 lines of dialogue.
>>342461320
The same chances that a black person won't steal.
>>342461320
Close to 0
>>342460637
>Also, best 1handed gun in the game?
Lil Devil or Ranger Sequoia
This mods bretty kewl.
>>342461403
>having no problem while using VATS
Well sure, VATS doubles the base damage of melee and unarmed attacks
>>342461501
Momod is fucking awful
>>342461523
Did not know that. I'm currently in a melee build with little focus on VATS and I feel much weaker.
I also know why people complain about OWB now, Brush guns and hunting revolvers filling your ass every twenty seconds.
>>342461404
>>342461425
>>342461440
Don't break my heart anons :(
can you fine gents recommend me some companion mods ?
I already got Niner, The Storyteller, Joshua Graham and Ulysses + some other faggot I forgot about.
>>342460637
Depends on perks and personal preference. Energy or conventional? Common rounds, or snowflake ammo? SMG or handgun?
>>342457597
How about ghouls now being able to run, in 1&2 they couldn't because of brittle bones.
Personally this has always been my favourite weapon in the game, even if it is a bit unpractical.
But getting sneak attacks with this thing is fucking hilarious. I love it when I watch enemies just drop dead from a single BB bullet just lodge itself in their brains.
>>342461018
on the same day they put this in their game
>>342461969
>companion mods
>>342462162
god I love this gun
Do you really need to have mods for New Vegas? Like, I understand that you need them for 3 because 3 is a fucking mess but NV seems like enough of a solid game where you don't need mods.
>>342462454
You need YUP
Have you noticed how the Courier is the odd one out out of all the fallout protagonists
Everyone expet the Courier is somehow extremely related to a vault. The Courier only gets a pip boy and a jumpsuit.
Everyone is out to save the wasteland from some evil and powerful threat. the Courier is just out there to shape the Mojave desert.
Everyone, exept probably The Chosen one has barely any expierience in the Wasteland. The Courier is THE fucking mailman of the wasteland, traveling even so far as Utah and shit.
>>342459125
But no Enclave and BoS and coming up with new ideas is hard.
>>342446649
tfw the FO4 DLC version of this rifle doesn't do as much as the combat rifle chambered for 308 and is a direct downgrade
>>342460351
Some left to do freelance work Chris Avellone who was head writer for NV is gone, shame too because he did the best parts of 2 and NV.
>>342462162
Why must Bethesda force their shitty designs, using the old ones would have been cheaper, why do they cherry pick the lazyness.
>>342461280
True,but was it a good Fallout game?
>>342462162
>bring back the old plasma pistol and rifle
>don't bring back the old laser pistol and rifle
>make plasma crap
>>342462947
course not
>>342462947
>>342463042
but it WAS a better Fallout game than Fallout 3
It deserves a "you tried" award at the very least
Alright lads, Nexus is cucked to hell with their 'public-domain' radio mods. Where are all the ones with decent, non-novelty songs?
>>342462454
Mods turn a solid game into a pure masterpiece tailored perfectly to the taste of the player.
>>342462485
That's what makes him great for role playing he can have the past you want and is a blank slate to mold much like the mojave.
>>342462454
you dont need them in NV; but they dont hurt either
>>342463117
Hard to say I have pretty much gotten bored of 4 but 3 I can still pick up when in the mood, 3 did the atmosphere well and really only has story issues, 4 on the other hand has something of atmosphere wise it just doesn't feel like fallout, at least 3 felt right.
http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/57729/?
If I made a version of this that included all the DLC melee weapons, do you think anyone would use it?
>>342463117
I don't remember fallout being about clearing copy-pasted dungeons
F3 with its binary choices are better than the single choice you get in 95% of all quests in F4
>>342461990
gun, so I mean conventional.
what does sunset sarsaparilla taste like?
>>342463470
I would definitely use it, was planning on doing it myself but never got around to it.
Are there any good mods that add some horror elements to the game?
Why do 3 and NV looks so ugly.
>>342463723
I always imagine it tastes like Tommyknockers Root Beer. Which sucks, because it's kinda gross.
>>342463781
Gamebryo
>>342463734
DUST, if you're looking for a complete game-changer
There's a silent hill-inspired quest mod, hell most decent quest mods are somewhat spooky, in a way.
>>342463781
Bethesda's refusal to upgrade their engine, coupled with the games having to run on PS3/360.
>>342463781
One word Gamebryo.
>>342463723
Like A&W.
Kinda like how Nuka tastes like Coca.Root Beer > Cola
>>342463723
Well sarsaparilla in general tastes like licorice, so I'd imagine it's pretty similar.
>>342463117
In terms of "Falloutyness" I rank them almost the same. At least with 4 they added a new enemy instead of rehashing an old one.
>>342463865
>>342463882
Gamebryo can look quite good, though. Take Catherine, for instance. It's Bethesda's outdated version of GB that they keep rolling in sprinkles every few games. It's more that their programmers are incompetent, like most of their staff.
>you will never be successful as robert edwin house, founder and CEO of Robco industries
>>342463882
>>342463865
Gamebryo is just the graphics renderer, games like Catherine and CV IV look good, it's Bethesda's incompetence.

>>342464037
Gamebryo is everything but the physics and trees
It's the engine, not a 'graphics renderer'
And if it was, it would still be responsible for shitty graphics.
there is nothing wrong with lonesome road

Sorry I can't hear you over the only moral choice in 3 that wasn't black and white.
>>342464101
CS and GRA wouldn't make sense to be on there, they're just item packs
Put Automatron and Far harbor on bad tier
>>342463723
sarsaparilla is just fancy name for root beer
>>342464213
Not a lot good about it though, it's just meh. ED-E is the best part.
I just don't like the look of it. It looks too clean compared to the regular brush gun.
Mercy is the only unique I really like desu
>>342464234
>One decision makes a DLC
It should be in bad tier
>>342464213
I liked it, and don't even mind how linear it was. It just felt like the final confrontation with Ulysses was going to be a lot more eye-opening and epic than it was. The battle wasn't bad, but his dialogue felt like something a depressed Freshman would write after taking PoliSci 101.

what do you do ?
>>342464474
your mom
>>342464450
>he didnt convince him to fight along side you

IMO GRA needs to go in essential tier, it just adds too much content for it to go into any other tier

Try to barter with him.

May as well list anchorage as god tier because you get a permanent stealth boy and armor that won't degrade, and free power armor training.
