Who else dropped FO4 and went straight back to New Vegas?
>New VegasLOL
I finished FO4 and feel like playing New Vegas so I'm starting a new playthrough.
Does anyone know how to change the menu controls so they match FO4's? I'm too used to Tab exiting containers and R being Take All.
So why do people hate that Oliver guy again? I just started playing and all he does is yell about a lottery and run around.

Has anyone used Obscurum Pandemic? I was considering actually playing it but it's a big mod and I don't want to waste my time on another shit-shoot like DUST.
After 60 hours of 4 I'm playing 2 again
Will probably try another new build in NV afterwards

Sadly, I've played it too many times to be able to go back and do it again. I wish I could wipe some memories.
So I'm on my first play ever.
Is there a mod I can get to make my companion not attack AT FUCKING ALL? I'm using ED-E for Enhanced Sensors and that's it. Despite having it set to Be Passive and Stay Back and whatnot, it still ends up firing the first shot and blowing my cover sometimes.

The only thing I think Fallout 3 does better is that the map is larger and you genuinely can go just about anywhere from the get go unlike NV where they do make you go through a fixed path. Everything else such as gameplay, story and overall roleplay though? NV all the way.

Aren't they just a group of dicks who just want to horde all the tech? Even FO 4 makes them look bad with their "kill all the synth" motif.
At least FO4 actually continues on that major side quest from FO3, establishing on the commonwealth/synths/etc.

I bet you hate FO1 and 2 then just because you can travel on an overworld instead of manually moving turn by turn past encounter and encounter to get to town.
Nigger FO was designed with fast travel in mind from the start, it's a PnP game. Everything Beth did was nothing but to streamline and spoil it.
Plus just like real life and FO3 there's jack shit to do anywhere outside of anywhere. The world design can only be interesting to travel through once to get fast travel up.
>>317377895
I bought New Vegas a year ago on sale and never installed it. I didn't buy into the FO4 hype and /v/'s shit posting to to me too. I'm thinking of installing and playing New Vegas, are there any essential mods I should download?

>>317382264
Fallout General on /vg/ should have a pasta with mods, can't really go wrong with performance-enhancers and bug-fixers, also JSawyer.esp for more hardcore experience (still not very hard though), but beware that it greatly cuts both your HP and carry capacity, while adding weight to stuff like healing items, so you won't be able to carry 10 different guns with ammo - if you're a pack-rat, probably skip it.

>>317377895
So, do the side objectives that aren't main quests effect what groups think of you?
I'm trying to get Liked by the NCR so I can get ranger armour early, but I've done all the quests that I can find, so now I only have those side objectives to do.
>>317382264
Project Nevada should be plenty. Hardcore mode is seriously optional since the only thing it does is make managing your limbs harder. Any explosion or strong gust of wind can break your legs, and you'll suffer for a long as fuck time until you get to a doctor to heal up, since doc bags are pretty rare. However it does make things do-or-die quite a bit until you get companions and decent armour.
Just don't enable Alternative Repair, breaks you game. Also cyber tech mod is bad I hear.

No, it's starts a different story about a separate Brotherhood group and a separate Enclave group with Super Mutants being made in a different way

For your first try?
Look up some mods to help not make the game look like ass like ojo bueno, nevada skies, eve, interior lighting overhaul, new vegas redesigns, ect.

You can't mod unique guns, and with the modding system FO4 has every gun has to have like 50 of those dumb mods so you can't really add something like a Garand in the game without adding those dumb mods or it'll stick out like a sore thumb. Or you can I guess, but I'd rather mods went back to being significant changes, like increasing fire rate by 33% or something.
>Settlements is literally the one objectively good idea
Settlements is a dumb idea and I hate it, who the fuck plays Fallout as anything but a drifter anyways.

Um, what? The idea is that settlements do develop, but you don't really participate in that - well, you do, but the results are at the ending slides and when you play the next game in the series. I mean, it would be really cool if you could see changes more immediately - when it makes sense, anyway - but just making one specific player settlement for that is lame.
>>317384331
DT14 should be okay, I guess? Also I cleaned V34 on Normal with a 10mm SMG that I found there (since ghouls drop 10mm ammo), That Gun which I almost had no ammo for, Cowboy Repeater and lots of drugs - MedX, Psycho, Turbo for the Overseer fight. Actually - have you tried using drugs in V3?
Also, if you're on okay terms with NCR you can get a really cool unique weapon in Camp McCarran for free, I can spoil you how.

No I mean people have been talking about hte idea of gameplay where you make your own little towns or run your life as a merchant in-game for fucking years and it's always been a backed thing.

It's sad how FO3 turned out. Like, instead of a fresh look at how life on the other continent would have worked out, maybe with new enemies, new antagonists, Bethesda just puts a thumb in their ass and tries their hardest to rip every possible thing from the original Fallouts with zero thought put into it. BoS is cool, so they're here. Fucking Enclave is here too for some reason. Post-apocalyptic instead of post-post apocalyptic and people still live in shit towns. The difference between New Vegas infrastructure and the peasants in the Capital wasteland is staggering, its a wonder those retards survived. Oh, FO2 had a GECK and water as an objective so lets copy that too.
FO3 is so devoid of any original thought its disgusting. Most disappointing of all is that any and future fallouts will probably follow the bullshit formula of Vault Dweller -> Where's my family member? -> Literal God. And there'll be super mutants and BoS because why not. Fallout 5 will probably have Enclave waving their dicks around again. 3 games of rehashing shit that Fallout 1-2 brought to the table, fucking disappointing.
Just re-downloaded it yesterday
Mod suggestions? It's a pretty ugly game for one thing.
>>317382049
That's an awesome looking map.
>>317385010
>Fallout 4 has a LOT more weapons
No it doesn't, New Vegas has more, most of which isn't pipeshit
>>317384757
I haven't tried using any drugs, actually. I've always been afraid of the side effects.
I guess I'm just trash at this game, so what's the special NCR weapon?
>>317385013
Isn't the center like "Raiders Everywhere" or something?
>>317385260
A world of pain, NMC texture mod. Nothing else
>>317385341
The center is godawful, terrible city-wiping storms.
So basically the regular Midwest, but with more lightning.
>>317382415
Fallout New Vegas continues with Brotherhood (somewhat), Super Mutants (minor, just like Fallout 2, but had Marcus :D :D :D), and NCR, who actually had some meaning in Fallout 2.
So yeah, they are canon.
>>317379475
Wow you evil fucker. Just let him nuke the Legion who gives a shit about them.
>>317385414
Dogtown or whatever, Denver, would have been such a cool fucking area to explore. But, New Vegas resolved that area and wrote it off.
New Vegas felt dated even when it came out, now it's fuck ugly and feels clunky as hell. The barren desert setting is boring, empty, and lifeless. I honestly don't see how you could go back from FO4's super detailed, dense, varied world to...that
>>317385378
Thanks anon. I like minimalist modding for normal playthroughs. You know, like texture updates and maybe some different models.
>>317385341
center is practically uncrossable because there are no trade routes or vehicles + uncivilized tribes
legion had it contained well but canon is they lost
and even northern BOS is too far
>>317385010
>More weapons
No
>More customization
Yeah
>Better gunplay
yeah
>Better Modding
No
Console (PS3) fag here. I have the vanilla version, which of the dlcs are worth getting? Does the GOTY edition come with them on disk?
>>317385307
Im talking compared to 3 you turbonigger, and there's nothing wrong with pipeshit
Why does an Enclave deserter from the west coast flee to the heavily fortified Enclave stronghold of D.C. on the east coast while trying to avoid the Enclave because he fears for his life?
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/William_Brandice
How do these single entities keep crossing the entire US? Is there some teleporter set up somewhere we don't know about?
It took a lot of BoS personnel and airborne zeppelins and vertibirds to even attempt to cross the Midwest.
>>317385010
>spend 20 hours leveling for better weapons to start appearing
>they don't
>go on wiki to see that all weapons are variations of the basic ones
thanks bethesda
>>317378697
like clockwork
>>317385539
It wasn't really "resolved." All we know is the Legion gets its dogs there and it's not very healthy.
>>317385586
Do this...
Very hard
Hardcore
No armor only clothes
One companion at a time
No stimpaks for companion
If companion dies,stays dead
Doing this is why I have over 300 hours on PC version alone
>>317382756
>everything destroyed

Then level up for better mods and stop being stupid. The game has way more guns than any previous game because basically every other mod makes every gun different in every way, even how they look.
>>317385653
Yeah the GOTY edition comes with all of the DLC, but honestly dude the PS3 version is so terrible, I don't even think it's worth playing.
>>317385260
Killable children
>>317385519
Actually the "good" option is deciding to stop the missile, since nukes are bad. It doesn't help that the quest in case you decide to nuke either faction(or both) is called "apocalypse".
>>317385000
I don't know but nice trips
I fucking hate Fallout4 pipe guns, there better be a gun runners of some sort with actual guns
>>317385049
>people have been talking about hte idea of gameplay where you make your own little towns or run your life as a merchant in-game for fucking years
Yes, and those people have no idea what the fuck Fallout is about and just want their own autistic sandbox post-apo Sims. Fucking TES fanbase.
>alternate start to the Vault
Alternate start, not alternate fucking destination. "You can save the land from mutants or you can, you know, just chill, build a shop, sell ammo and weapons, maybe one of the dudes you sell them to will stop the mutants, or maybe they're gonna take over, dip you and then you'll be a mutant trader in a happy Mutopia... until you all die of old age." Wow, great pitch here.
>>317385330
I'm playing with the trait that makes drugs give no addiction (and caps my level at 21), but every doctor can remove addictions, plus there's a drug called "Fixer" that does that too. Med-X gives you 25% DR, Psycho gives 25% damage boost and Buffout gives you some more HP.
The quest is activated by talking to Lt. Boyd in Camp McCarran (she's the one in charge of questioning that one centurion, which you can help her with). She'll tell you that she suspects Contreras has deals on side. You can hack into this computer (needs Science 50) or talk to him and ask for a job. Afterwards, you can actually try to do the jobs he gives you, or just turn him in immediately and get a sweet gun. The only problem is that he's actually a really good merchant who sells tons of .308, 5.56 and 5mm ammo. But if you roleplay as a pro-NCR character it's an easier decision.
>>317385586
If you want really minimalist, I've got a fun challenge for you. Just grab ST Robot Race for a mod. It's challenging itself because the healing items you need in that are weaker typically but have more "abundance" in the sense you can make them out of cheap parts to heal small amounts. Your Stimpak equivalents are insanely rare.
Hardcore
Very Hard
Clothes only (Whatever looks coolest, if it's armor, go into the GECK and make a version with no DT)
No companions
Two guns at a time
You will fuck yourself up hard.
>>317385621
Not really more customization. Instead of options you have a linear progression along two lines of Automatic/Semi-Auto and then everything else its almost always better to have the option on the bottom. Suppressors are somehow the god item so eventually each one of your guns will have one, ever the Gauss Rifle has a suppressor.
>>317385220
Synths were an interesting concept but the ball was dropped hard. Institute, much like the rest of the Capital Wasteland, are incapable of doing anything right until the VAULT DWELLER comes along and fixes everything in 3 months.
>>317385653
All of the NV dlc is great and worth playing, but if you can get it for PC (doesn't require much to run) then avoid playing console versions like the plague.
>>317386040
Arturo sells some guns
>>317386058
Having just one companion makes game alot better so long as it isn't OP Boone
So how many main endings does FO4 have? 3 has 2 and NV has 4.
>>317386196
Shit type ones
>>317386236
Fuck that. You're a robot. Everyone thinks the robot doesn't have any actual brainpower. They wouldn't align themselves with a tin can.
>>317385220
>FO3 is so devoid of any original thought its disgusting.
That isn't a cynical thing to think. Bethesda doesn't value creativity as far as writing goes. They're content to reuse existing ideas without building on them in any meaningful way. That's extremely disappointing to me because part of what made New Vegas come alive so much was how good the writing was most of the time. Save for Ulysses's emo tirades in LR, the Mojave feels authentic and interesting compared to the lifeless and sterile Capital Wasteland.
Obsidian gave us memorable characters like Joshua Graham and Randall Clark because they actually give a shit about writing. What has Bethesda churned out that has artistic merit?
>>317386236
How is boone OP?
>>317386372
That hunting rifle destroys anything in his path, let's not forget how little fucks he gives too
>>317386372

>>317386358
>What has Bethesda churned out that has artistic merit?
Morrowind. Parts of Oblivion, like Shivering Isles.
>>317386372
While >>317386471 and >>317386492 are exaggerating, Boone's main thing is he can automatically hit anything within your compass that comes up red. Combine ED-E and you can just sit pretty as he kills everything because ED-E's perk allows for Boone to see everything.
Will Obsidian be making their version of Fallout4? Like New vegas
>>317386671
Not to mention he prioritizes headshots much more so than other companions, making him even deadlier by default.
>>317386731
They're busy with other projects, likea Vampire Bloodlines sequel.
>>317386731
I hope not, most of the New Vegas team doesn't even work there anymore.
Also they would no doubt have to use the Bethesda base which means voiced protag and dialogwheels and shit so it's propably better if they spend the time on something that actually has a chance to be decent.
>>317386867
>Obsidian developing anything on their own
yeah, no.
>>317386731
What are the MUST HAVE mods for NV? Last realism mod I tried, it made enemies even more spongy.
Why is the nuke in Megaton a fatman style nuke when it was clearly nuclear ICBMs that were used during the Great War?
Did China manage to fly a bomber all the way across the US to drop a single antique bomb that didn't even explode but still produced a fucking gigantic crater?
>>317377895
Why are new vegas kiddies on /v/ the easiest to trigger? Fallout 3 is probably like a 6/10. New Vegas about a 7.5/10. Meh games tbfh family.
>>317386731
Obsidian is dead, I dont understand how most people here havent realized it.
Fucking half the company left. And most importantly Avellone left. They're fucking dead
>>317382716
elaborate?
>>317385782
they moved in and wiped the area out.
WHY DOES BETHESDA THINK THAT FEV IN HUMANS AUTOMATICALLY MEANS SUPERMUTANTS

They're not "meh games" there is nothing like open world beth games, its an untapped market.

Played Fallout 4, did Railroad shit, and now i´m back to Vegas. There is no replayabilty in Fallout 4.

>>317387316
>Cinematic black bars
Have you made sure to cap your fps at 30 too?
>>317387248
Funnily enough, even then, New Vegas has a sewer system that has more depth than the metros in FO3.

how plebian must you be senpai? I roleplay and leave them to guard my retreat, or to carry and protect goods as if I had a camp. Rarely do I drag them down exploring areas.

Fallout New Vegas is a "pure" RPG with partial FPS/TPS gameplay, and favours the use of VATS and stat modifiers, it's closer to a tabletop RPG than a conventional videogame RPG; thus, having a more varied and deep setting with quests that put more weight into intelliegent or moral choices serves the purpose of it leaning more to its RPG side.
Fallout 3 is an FPS/TPS with partial roguelike elements, and favors the use of non-VATS combat with a more minimalistic gunplay in order to pump more action than social interactions, and the quests put you in more dangerous situations that require reflexes and/or little to no planning ahead (i.e. having to enter a minefield while a sniper is shooting at you), thus serving its purpose as an action game first, and a roguelike rpg second.
They're both good game in their own regards, and comparing them and hailing NV as better or worse than FO3 is pointless because their bases and approaches are vastly different despite their basic similarities.
Prove me wrong.
Protip:You can't.
>>317387737
>it's popular so it must be good!
Your mum is one of the best selling too but I wouldn't call her the best t.b.h.

Not me. I sucked NV dry. Fallout 4 isn't all that amazing, but I can't play NV anymore. I'm tapped out.
>>317388070
Yes, how a game sells is generally a very good indication of the quality.
>>317388174
That's a very casual game though, I thought you were above that?
>>317388124

Fucking stupid

Go play some real FPS negro. Then play mothership zeta and see how big of a piece of shit Fallout 3 is.
>no Webley-Fosbery automatic revolver mod for FNV'
the only revolver I like and it's not in anything
>>317387143
West-tek was a government defense contractor on the west coast. They are the ones who developed FEV, it was initially part of a project to develop immunity to all the biological weapons that China was intent on using. After initial experiments showed increased muscle mass, size, and intelligence in animal subjects they renamed it FEV. The project was then moved from the West-tek facilities at The Glow to Mariposa to begin conducting human experiments. The personnel at Mariposa mutinied over this, killing the scientists and stopping the experiments. The military at Mariposa would eventually go on to form the BoS.
Vault-tec has absolutely nothing to do with any of this, so it is extremely bizarre for their to be a vault full of extremely dangerous FEV for no discernable reason on the complete opposite coast of where it was developed and tested in the first place. Not to mention that the revolt at Mariposa occured almost immediately before the Great War kicked off.
Unlike what Bethesda thinks, FEV isn't something you can just cook up with a home chemistry lab. Such as Dr. Lesko using FEV in his fire ant experiments in FO3. Likewise, this is fucking retarded and makes zero sense.
Is there anything I need to know before playing the Ulimate Edition on PS3 for the first time?I can't play it on pc
>>317388430
i'm not saying it's good gunplay i'm just saying it has more weight put on gunplay than the rest of the gameplay elements
>>317388062

How would minimalistic gunplay encourage you to not use VATS
What the fuck does minimalistic gunplay even mean

>Yes, how a game sells is generally a very good indication of the quality.
>I literally don't know anything about economics and business, please rape my face
Selling products its not about quality you fucking moron, it's about the perfect quality/consumer satisfaction ratio. The lower the quality and the higher the satisfaction the better.
Most of todays Beth audience are dudebro console gamurs who didn't even play the first two, their standards are pretty fucking low. Do the math.
>>317388590
It's awful. And the game forgets it's an rpg and tries to be a shit shooter. I hate fallout 3 so much.
>>317388062
>Fallout 3

Fallout 3 made it almost impossible to hit enemies that weren't in your face unless you used VATS.
