There's been a lot of New Vegas threads lately, which then started spawning a lot of discussion on whether 3 or 4 hold up to it, surpass it, etc.
Looking to get /v/'s consensus on how it feels across the spread of the games, 1 & 2 getting thrown in as well. Please take a moment to fill these out:

>>342537289
As long as they're voting and being unironic about them enjoying 3 or 4 more than New Vegas, that's fine by me. Want a good honest poll
4 is a good game but new Vegas did a lot of things better that Bethesda could have implemented...but they didn'tI like cuddlesworth
>>342537457
>I like cuddlesworth
Who doesn't, though?
So it's seems according to the poll :
Obsidian > Inter play > Bethesda
Nv > everything else
4 > 3
2 > 1
That's a pretty healthy opinion actually, well done /v/
>>342537452
>being unironic about them enjoying 3 or 4
3 is a better game. I know its a cool thing for you monkies to all circle jerk about how great New Vegas is on this board but it's not.
>>342538465
Prove us otherwise
NV fixed everything wrong with 3, and you cannot deny it you contrarian hipster
>>342538236
I don't know how high I can expect these to get but considering the other threads have recently been getting 150 I'd hope we could at least break 100 and get a decent spread, right now they're too low.
>>342538465
It really isn't but if you'd care to explain why you think that?
>>342538879
That's because this thread lacks bumping

>>342537824
I'm actually unaware of where the OP pic comes from, I just saw a pic of a deathclaw I liked. Is this from something?
>>342540315
His New Vegas stuff is still good, I have plenty of fun with it. but it's obvious he's running out of content. His weekly Fallout 4 mod videos are alright, but otherwise very eh. Apparently he's gonna do one huge fuckin' send off to Fallout 4 proper as part of his subscriber special.
>>342540315
How far do you have to go back until they start being good? It's pretty much just been wacky bullshit from what I've seen.
>>342539668
>>342540315
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RYrQjoEVTic
I literally couldn't stop laughing at his latest video
>>342540464
It's from a popular new vegas dude who showcases mods. He made a deathclaw who wears hats called Mr Cuddlesworth.
Forgot his name though.
>>342540464
Its from a YouTuber named Alchestbreach
>>342540464
It's Mr. Cuddlesworth, a Deathclaw companion from the Youtuber AlChestBreach. if you're into New Vegas modding at all, you've most likely at least heard his name. He started basically once New Vegas modding got "properly" large, with NV Bounties and shit. Initially he was kinda deadpan, if a bit of a weirdo, but he's slowly devolved into a much more bizarre and over-the-top figure.
I still like him though, and Al himself is a very nice guy.
>>342540745
Al is a bro tier dude
>>342540745
>>342540714
>>342540617

Gonna give him a look then, I'm not familiar with Bounties (I usually only play the vanilla game using mods to fix balance/glitches/graphical upgrades) but started on Osama Bin Brahmin, he sounds cool
it goes from best to worst NV>2>3>4>1
anything else is wrong kys
>>342541176
The New Vegas Bounties series is fucking spectacular, you should definitely give them a try. The guy behind them also has a YouTube channel where he goes on fucking psychotic rants while playing games at 10 FPS
https://www.youtube.com/user/Someguy2000Modder/videos
>>342541293
>The New Vegas Bounties series is fucking spectacular
I hear it turns NV into proper spaghetti western? Is it just a series of Red Dead style 'get this guy dead or alive' sidequests added in or do they put in a story?
>>342541535
There is a story - hell the story goes as far back as some mods in Fallout 3 - but the first one is just straight up "Go find this guy, kill him, bring back his finger." Each one's sort of either a reference or just a fun fight, and each one grants you unique weapons, ranging from a knife used by a fiend leader who castrated guys called "The Emasculator" to a druglord's Assault Carbine called "My Little Friend." There are moments that are very strongly spaghetti western-like, though. A plot begins towards the end, but I don'tw anna spoil it.
Then NVB2 offers the option of pacifying targets, and there's several subplots to it, and instead of asking one guy about your next job, you find wanted posters all over the fucking map for various quests, where you have a chance to either make a guy turn himself in (for more money) or kill them (for potentially better gear).
NVB3's the big culmination of it all, and is sort of the "Climax" or end to all of Someguy's mods, up until that point every other mod referenced it. And it's got some of the strongest spaghetti western vibes of the bunch, and combines ideas from both NVB1 and NVB2 to make shit a lot better done.
Oh, and it has a duo of a ghoul and super mutant with the best fucking banter I've heard, period.
>>342541535
Bounties 1 is mosly just hunting down and killing with a couple exceptions
It's mostly about the characters
Bounties 2 lest you take in most (maybe all I don't remember) of the people alive
Bounties 3 adds a new land and that's all I really know about 3 (I haven't played it yet)
bump for the sake of numbers
>>342542264
>>342541962
Hmm. Alright, i'll give it a try too next time I play NV. currently playing through another playthrough but after this one is done, like to see how good storytelling mods can provide in this case
Also, since we're still a little light on posters, posting this, hopefully we'll reel in some more before this thread dies
Rolling while I'm at it, see what I'll play Bounties with
>>342543581
Rolla colla
>>342543581
I recommend grabbing Russell as well - it's a companion mod made by Someguy, which also ties into his various quests. He even has unique dialogue for NVB and NVB2 missions. He's kind of OP, but his companion quest is also ridiculously fucking hard if you go for it too early, so it's pretty fair trade.
>>342536856

>>342543581
so much mods to install...
It's a shame I can't have a version without the awkward scope, but I love it.
Still not really sure why the Sierra Madre vending machines chuck out holorifle mods.
>>342540007
Good taste, friendo.
>>342538465
3 isn't better than New Vegas no matter how you look at it. You can like it more, that's fine, opinions are subjective after all. But to say that Fallout 3 is better than New Vegas is objectively false. New Vegas does everything better.
>>342545103
They're replicators. Elijah made the specs for the mods and put them into a vending machine code. The machines do the rest.
>>342545270
I should have been a little clearer.
It's more that you can get multiple mods when you only need one of each.
I guess you could sell it, but it seems silly.
I would have preferred a different method of obtaining them, but it's cool this way too.
New Vegas is only good with mods.
Prove me wrong.
>>342545761BIG IRON
>>342545103
I love that gun but fucking christ I hardly got to use it
I barely found ANY MFC to load it with and if there was a Vendor code for it I never found it.
Pic-related saved my life on Dead Money.
>>342545761
New Vegas's greatest selling points is the amount of freedom you have in building your character, making your choices, and how you affect the Mojave. The story and factions all have a great deal of depth and nuance that create tons of discussion even 6 years later, and while the combat isn't perfect it's very much expansive, giving you hundreds of different weapons, ammo types, weapon modifications, and crafting options to survive and fight out in the mojave.
A lack of mods doesn't remove any of that.
>>342545761
Prove to me why it's bad without mods
>>342546157
I personally preferred the bear trap fists over any other weapons.

>>342546157
I constantly -just- managed to find enough MFC to get me through, including travelling back to a bench to recycle, on my tech-savvy warwomger playthrough.
After that, I wiped out all the filthy tribals in HH and my weaponfu was set in hardlight stone.
>>342546402
Those were cool but I felt sort of accomplished getting my Knife Spear.
There's only a small number of the cosmic knives in general (again, unless there's a VEndor code I missed).
You have to have enough repair to clean those knives with Abraxo, then enough repair to combine three of them with one of the chuckable versions carried by the Ghosts (they don't have a Knife Spear you can't throw). The Bear Fists were carried by every other Ghost person
>>342547019
That was one issue, I didn't have enough science to convert I think. I found plenty of EC's for some reason
No Fallout:Brotherhood of Steel as a choice for best fallout? Fucking plebs the lot of you
>>342538465
>1 vote for 3
Was that you you dumb faggot?
>>342546402
This is my favorite looking unarmed weapon, satisfying to use too.
Good taste.
>>342547543
I'm more surprised that 1 and 2 are so low, personally
>>342547223
That's strange, I got non throwable knife spears from the ghosts all the time plus the primary reason why I liked the Bear trap fists is that you got up and close with the ghosts and it almost always decapitated them.
>>342547543
This is so satisfying to looks at
>>342547696
Not many people played the originals I guess, or people genuinely prefer NV over the originals, which is not suprising
>>342547460
>le min max face
>>342547223
I found a lot of ECs as well, and correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the holorifle the only energy weapon in DM?
This game is fucking boring.
I don't understand how you assholes can replay through 8+ times.
>>342548589
There was a laser pistol and, of course, Father Elijah's Gauss Rifle, but there was not really any special weapons.
>>342548589
No, I distinctly remember at least one or two energy pistols as well.
I gave them to Christine though.
Also speaking of
>squeezes your hand lightly, then softly smiles
M-my heart...
>>342536856

New Vegas is only good relative to other 3D Fallout games.
>>342548909
Where was the laser pistol?
I was excluding Elijah's gauss rifle because it's end game and doesn't use ECs.
>>342536856
Post this on /vr/ where the userbase is actually old enough to have played Fallout 1 and 2

It's funny too I have literally just played through this dlc for the first time just a couple of days ago fun at first with stealth being a priority but became too mandatory. Plus the speaker and radio thing got too out of hand to me.

>>342549260
The radios were what got me the worst.
I'm not very observant so it really drove me insane when they were right there in front of me and I couldn't find them before a second too late. Fuck those radios. It's another reason why I kept Christine around so much was giving me the time to run by them entirely if I could.
Dog/God's perk seemed fairly low compared to Christine's and Dean's, which both really helped against the environment. Dog didn't seem to do that much better against the Ghosts than God ever did and God's stealth bonus was never really that necessary, the Ghosts aren't really that hard to kill in the first place.
>>342550760
It's not as shit as /b/ or /fog/, so it certainly is redeemable
>>342549080
I'm sure there in one of the many weapon cabinets littered throughout the Puesta del Sol but they where pretty ineffective for me.
>>342536856
>4 versus 3
This is actually kinda hard to me. Because like New Vegas and OG's win hands down but my opinions of 3 and 4 are kinda equal. As an action game 4 is phenomenal compared to 3 but is a really shitty rpg. But 3 was a really shitty rpg anyways.
Best overall Fallout to me is NV. As much as I love 1 NV possesses both God-tier writing and player agency and GOAT-tier modding options. It's like a magnum opus for Obsidian, which is saying something since KotoR2 was god-tier, Alpha Protocol was awesome for player agency, and PoE was a really fun BG1 clone. South Park was also like the only great tv video game I've ever played.
>>342538236
It is objectively wrong though. Should be
Beth > Interplay (1) > Obsidian > Interplay (2)
4 > 3 > 1 > NV > 2
>>342551426
/fog/ please go
>>342551025
Yeah, that sounds about right.
They tend to be a "fuck off radroach/mole rat" weapon rather than a "rip and tear" gun.
Can't see them being useful against the Ghosts.
Now a weapon that would be great is the Dart Gun, but alas, it isn't even in the game.
>>342551426
>objectively wrong
You do realise that the opinion of a large amount of people is just that, their opinions and as such, they aren't wrong because personal taste is correct to those who feel that way.

Why did the NCR and Brotherhood of Steel have a falling out exactly? I recall the Brotherhood was isolated but not openly hostile towards all the other settlements in Fallout 1, and even though the NCR wasn't a thing until 2 I thought they'd remain on fairly neutral terms.
What made the NCR straight up attack the HELIOS station instead of trying to negotiate with the Brotherhood? Why did they have to attack and blow them the fuck underground?
>>342551918
That's pretty neat, thanks.
I've only scratched the surface, mod-wise, so this helps me on my way to a more fulfilling game.
>>342552072
I vote for Fallout 2, but have fun with your theme park, kiddo.
>>342552293
didn't mean to quote >>342552072
>>342552293
The NCR wanted something the Brotherhood would rather they didn't. So they tantrumed and threw their army at them.
>>342552293
The answer is quite simple:Shit writing.
>>342552379
Yeah I generally just search on google New Vegas (insert the mod) and that usually gives me something that I want.
>>342552907
I'll randomly skim through nexus every now and then, but I've been hesitant to add anything new because I don't want to upset the perfect balance of mods I have going now.

least favorite of the bunch, it's not totally unplayable, the visuals are nice

never understood why it's considered the best, it's decent but I wasn't surprised at all when I heard Tim Cain express how forced it felt to him
>3
I also agree with Tim Cocaine here, it was good but there were a TON of things I would have changed
>NV
most depth out of every I don't really think it is better than 3 by that much but still an improvement
>1
easily the best
it was the only one that really felt like a big open adventure to me, and its also the only one that had a decent main story
2 and on ward were all bland

The Brotherhood wouldn't have negotiated with ^ at the helm, not to mention they are complete assholes when it comes to other people having energy weapons or WMD. Their logic is "You can't have this WMD, so we'll take it to protect you from yourselves."
>>342554457
I was wrong actually, it's at the base of a tree near where you start, just lying on the ground.
Goddamn. Why must 12.7smg looks so fucking awful. It's like they started to make a P90 lookalike and then decided that they want top loaded alien pulserifle instead.
>>342548498
The AMR is actually not superb compared to many weapons. It just feels powerful and satisfying to use. I personally use it up close. A dangerous but fun endeavor.
>>342555090
Add in explosive rounds and it sounds like a party.
>>342554442
Pretty much this. Skyrim extended skeleton let you do wild things like collision meshed vagina and penises. Fallout engine is too archaic for stuff like that so we had to do with almost complete ports from Oblivion. They still work better than Oblivion though.
>>342554856
There are a couple more I'm sure of it because, I didn't actually see that one.
I wish Bethesda would hire Obsidian to Remake NV on updated engine and gave them more time to flesh it out.
>>342547223
MFC cluster grenades were God-tier in Dead Money.
Hell, I used them outside of DM even with mod weapons in the game.
>>342555886
I feel they should let them have free reign on the Fallout franchise because it seems like it would be much more beneficial for everyone.

Because in the 80 years between Fallout 2 and New Vegas, the diplomatic situation between the growing NCR and fanatical BoS deepened to the point they went to war
The BoS lost that war and as a parting gift irradiated the NCR's gold reserves, devaluing their currency and fucking up their economy. NCR needed the power from HELIOS One, the BoS was obsessing over ARCHIMEDES II, further conflict was inevitable.

Dear Lord now I understand why you faggots stay in /v/
I just installed an enb for New Vegas, looks good but I'd rather play it in 60fps than have it look super nice. It comes with a bunch of settings, like medium, low, very high.
How can I make it be medium? I've tried looking in the shift enter in game, and the config settings, but can't find where to specify the quality. Am I just overlooking something really obvious?
>>342557896
Most likely messing with the INI files.

fallout 3 was/is an OK game, as long as you look at it from the perspective that; it's not a fallout game. The game is "post apocalyptic game adventure" that Bethesda wanted to do, but liked a lot of the ideas for fallout (vaults, 50's post apocalyptic setting) and had no fucking idea about subtlety, dark humor, good story lines etc etc etc.
It's"their version" of fallout, so imagine that they made fallout 1 and 2 also, but that it was as crap as 3. basically it's an action adventure game where you turn your mind off more in a shitty engine, with a shitty story line that borrowed the elements they wanted from fallout because they bought the rights. and compared to 1 & 2, it is shit. On it's own, it's ok.
>>342559249
give me reasons as to what made it better? (I am in no way arguing that fallout 2 sucks, or anything. It fucking owns (even more so compared to not just the fallouts of today but a lot of other games), but it's still a bit below 1)
>>342538236
I agree with everything, besides 1 vs 2. 1 is a more consistent experience in my eyes.
