Tried it, started with a shovel, worked up to a super sledge

It gets boring pretty fast
>>
>>318639834
the 22 pistol is actually somewhat useful for killing unarmored people because it does double critical damage and you can always bring it anywhere regardless of your sneak skill.

it's still kinda weak so i just use hollow points.

if you're talking about the caliber, yeah it was a stupid idea when you have 9mm.

>>318639834
because .22 is literally the biggest meme obsidian could put in

Yeah this. I have played NV like 4 or 5 times, and it sucks me in every time. With Fallout 4 though, i'm at level 45 and i have been bored since about level 35. I've been looking up all the special locations and stuff on the internet just so i have something to do. I doubt i'll replay it.

No, But it does add really big guys, Like the legion arena warden who ONE HANDS a super sledge.

>>318642610
>cut content as DLC
They never would have lived it down

And they knew it, too. They made the choice to make the DLCs entirely separate from the main game so people didn't feel like they HAD to buy the DLC just to get the "complete" game they should have got on day one

>>
>>318637224
It's a fucking abysmal RPG and the fundamental gameplay is no better than modded New Vegas in most respects. Ranged combat is overall more fluid, but it's just about all you'll be doing. The new character progression mechanics are downright terrible, consisting almost entirely of bland percentile increases. Unarmed combat is absolute dogshit compared to NV's choice mixtures of special moves and weapons. Speaking of weapons, Fo4 hardly has any. There are more mods, sure, but half of them are downright inferior and don't even change the way the weapon looks. No uniques in any conventional sense outside of a handful of weapons. No hardcore mode or anything like it. Plot is generally bad.
>>
>Tfw you will never be happy with your mods so you will never really play the game for more than 3 hours until starting over again

The gunplay and looting make it more enjoyable to play than NV

>>318642610
What the fuck are you talking about? Most locations have individualized rep independent of how the Legion feels about you. Unless you're going around and murdering people in places like Novac, Primm, or Goodsprings, the only people who should come anywhere close to hating you are the NCR.

Fallout 4 is better.
I have no idea why people like New Vegas, it done everything wrong other than weapons and Old World Blues. It managed to look worse than Fallout 3, have all the content shoved into one side of the map, tons of quests with nothing to do in them (One of the named quests, ie: not unmarked was to kill ants down the road, once in Mojave Outpost and then in Nellis). Legion are easily discerned as the antagonists, NCR the protagonists. It attempted morally grey by letting you join multiple factions even when you knew one was for edge-factor. No longer dungeons that I can remember bar Repconn and the vaults. Fucking Freeside is more interesting in the Strip.

Added it's far too easy. I found my-self killing everything in one or two shots with a Holorifle on Very Hard at level 8. In Fallout 4 I find myself consistently running out of ammo (especially shotgun and 10mm) and having to wait behind cover often.

New Vegas, granted contains a better "story" (although it's still mediocre), but it's mechanically worse in nearly every other factor.
>>
>>318646880
There are several, all based on what faction you chose, what people you helped, what companions you did quests for, even the DLC has proper endings.
>>
>>318646880
Well there's 4 major factions, although one is a bit limited in content because it wasn't finished (Legion) and one is just "do whatever the fuck you want" (Independent)

Every minor faction and every companion gets a slide in the ending as well, based on what you've done
>>
>>318646880
4.5, overall. There are something like 28 total slides in the entire ending sequence, but they're mostly governed by your choice of faction. It's a lot, lot better than 3/4.
>>
>>318646880
There's several for each settlement, each companion and several different groups (Powder Gangers, Fiends, Boomers, BoS etc.)

There's a shitload of endings.
>>
>>318647020
>NCR the protagonists

I don't think I've ever sided with the NCR. Independent or House is the way to roll.
>>
>>318647127
Doesn't NV have a restoration mod for that? I could be thinking of a different game.
>>
>>318647282
New Vegas has a bunch of restoration mods but nothing for Legion. The content wasn't cut, it was never made in the first place
>>
>>318647020
>NCR the protagonists
You're either 12 years old or you just did a speedrun through the game.
>>
>>318647282
The RP mod is for Fallout 2

There is a series of "New Vegas Uncut" mods that restore content that had to be cut because of console limitations and bugs that they didn't have time to fix (Scripting in Gamebryo is really awkward) and the J.Saweyer mod that adds a bunch of tweaks and minor fixes that the lead Dev. on the game wanted originally.
>>
>>318647282
Sort of? [X] Uncut adds a lot of shit back into the game, like the Legion desecrating Forlorn Hope if you kill the officers.
>>
>>318644846

Veronica is the worst companion. Just for enjoyment alone you should leave her somewhere to die.

If you want easy mode get Boone, cause he's death incarnate. Arcade's the most fully fleshed out companion though (except his snarky comment every time you go into sneak gets real old, real fast).
>>
>>318647589
>Veronica is the worst companion.

That isn't how you spell "Lily"
>>
>>318647418

Between them and the Legion, explain to me which faction is the more altruistic. The first comment I received from an NCR soldier was a sarcastic remark that he wished for a nuclear winter
>>
>>318647020
The shooting is better, yeah. But the locations/settlements in New Vegas were much more varied and interesting than Fallout 4 (Goodneighbour and Diamond City being the only actual towns in the game...) and there's absolutely no choice and concequence. Dialougue is severely limited and the story/setting is way better in New Vegas. Not to mention from a gameplay perspective there's less freedom.

In New Vegas you could kill and eat every character other than a single robot. You can't do that in 4.
>>
>>318647660
Lily isn't voiced by Felicia Day and doesn't gush about dresses every time you ask her to hold something

Between the Legion and NCR? NCR of course, but that doesn't mean they're good.

The whole reason they come to the Mojave is for expansionist greed, they're corrupt as fuck and don't bother supplying or helping their soldiers. They don't care about their people and they just grow grow grow until they're starting to have starvation issues.

The very first encounter you have with the NCR is a small undertrained and underequipped squad just sitting outside of a town overrun by escaped convicts. They're just sat there doing nothing, and if you ask them why it's because they don't have the clearance, the training, the men or the supplies. That's your first encounter with them.

The rest of the game goes into detail as to why the NCR is a corrupt bloated mess destined to fail.

There's also more factions than just the Legion and the NCR. If you'd actually played the game, you might know that. Out of all the factions, I personally think House is the best option, but even then he's only protecting Vegas out of self-interest, but it just so happens that his self interest leads to the safe protection and care of the people in Vegas itself.

>Legion are easily discerned as the antagonists, NCR the protagonists
That's the first impression

Then as you go deep, you'll learn how NCR is a slow barely functioning thing that tries to get be everywhere at once and doing a shit job at it because of its regulations and lack of manpower.

And how Legion is focused on bringing order to the area with extreme means. Traders who live in Legion's territory actually are okay with them since Legion actually manages to keep their territory safe.

If you start thinking in terms of sustainability in this apocalyptic world, the line gets really blurred.

In the end, Legion and NCR are based on old civilizations so the right way is to fuck them both.
>>
>>318648724
Well, they're at war with NCR for no good reason. It's hard to believe their "we're doing the best for the future of humanity" shtick when they're fighting one of the most successful wasteland nations

Oh, and before they bugged out of California they irradiated NCR's gold reserves, fucking up the economy and forcing the government to return to backing the NCR Dollar on water, which is why it's the worst currency in New Vegas. Given how badly they seem to be losing their war, this comes off as being done purely out of spite

>Don't bother helping or supplying their soldiers.

That's what they keep asking you to do. Camp Mc Carran asks you to help you feed their soldiers by repairing their equipment and starting trade with the Crimson Caravan. The Legion Fort has virtually nothing in terms of recreation or resting areas. One small tent with a slave cooking in it.

One of their camps in the North-East is over-flowing with ammo because they have too much of it and they generously hand you an amount. If you decide to help them then they will give you a radio to beacon on to.

They have a run-down building in Freeside entirely dedicated to handing food to settlers.

Are they the best option? No, but you have them, yourself, House (Who lets everything outside of The Strip crumble), and the Legion.

Are any of them fit for running and maintaining a successful government? No.

Believe it or not most people don't care much for "lore" of a fantasy world videogame. It's usually just a bunch of contrived random information that contributes nothing to the game experience.

I played through Fallout 4 and there were only two side quests that stood out - The Silver Shroud and the USS Constitution (which is really just the ghoul rocket quest from New Vegas). There were tons of quests in New Vegas that I still remember like assassinating the President (which could be done in so many creative ways), interrogating the Centurion, investigating outpost distress calls, the aforementioned rocket quest, discovering who sold out Boone's wife, the cannibal quests for the White Glove Society....it just seems that New Vegas was a labor of love for Obsidian whereas Fallout 4 is just Skyrim with a different coat of paint.

Obsidian aren't afraid to do their own thing. A robot companion that communicates in beeps? Let's do it. A companion that literally can't speak and talks to you via hand gestures? They did it. Not only did they do it but there was a perfectly good explanation for it that tied into the story of Dead Money.

What are the companions in Fallout 4 again? All humans or humanoids? Terrible. New Vegas gave us a robo dog and FO4 just has a regular dog.

All this and I haven't even spoken about how godawful and linear the dialogue is in FO4. Literally the same options in the same directions every time. God, FO4 is fucking awful. Anybody who says it's a good game, I would never speak to again.

What?

Primm is that town he's talking about.
The Powder Gangers are a faction made up entirely of escaped NCR convicts.
Going to the Poseidon energy plant you get to see the fact they fucking hired Fantastic as their head scientist there.
Residents on the outskirts of Vegas suffer constant raids from Fiends because the NCR doesn't consider them a priority and orders have been given to just hold a line near McCarren.
McCarren and Forlorn Hope quests are exercises in the Courier basically fixing a bunch of problems the ineptitude and laziness of the NCR created for themselves.
That one outpost where everyone was killed by Mirelurks has notes spread all over the place where the solders are bitching about how stupid the recon was and how pointless this location was. Then they all died.

The game is pretty much getting to know the NCR inside and out. It's a fucking shame the Legion didn't get the same treatment and only came across as outlandishly edgy outside one or two conversations with merchants and Caesar.

I'm the same poster you replied to, but, to be fair, Nick Valentine is a fucking great character and I have a suspicion that Bethesda must have outsourced his writing.

The dialogue irked me as well. I loved skill checks in New Vegas because it gave personality and character to who I was playing. Charisma wasn't an RNG check and there were numerous personas that you could play as. You could play as Jesus Christ just as easily as you could play as Hannibal Lecter. The only person you can play as in Fallout 4 is "Helpful and concerned dad" and only respond in varying degrees of "Yes."

Outer Vegas is composed of three major locations (Freeside, Westside, and Camp McCarran) on top of smaller locations like Aerotech, North Vegas Square, the Sharecropper Farms, and the Crimson Caravan HQ. I'm pretty sure there are more unique sidequests in that area alone than there are in all of Fallout 4.

SAWYER DROPPING NEW INFO

Question:
>I'm not sure what your involvement in Honest Hearts was, but this is something I've personally always wondered. Zion as an environment is wonderful, and Joshua Graham is one of the most interesting characters in the series, but putting them aside the rest of HH is almost hollow. In terms of NPCs, Daniel nor the tribes seem to hold a candle to Graham, and not even Legionaires can side with the White-Legs which just made them one dimensional villains. Was there ever intended to be more to the DLC?

I was the director and creative lead on Honest Hearts. I designed the region, plot, tribes, and designed the Survivalist (written by John Gonzalez), Salt-Upon-Wounds, Follows-Chalk, and Waking Cloud (all three written by Travis Stout). Chris Avellone designed the original incarnation of the Burned Man for Van Buren. I redesigned the Burned Man’s background and personality as Joshua Graham for F:NV and wrote the character for Honest Hearts. I also designed and wrote Daniel.
Honest Hearts had the most compressed development schedule of the four main DLCs. At a high level, I designed it to be pretty simple because I was very concerned that we would not get it done on time. Other designers on the project wanted to do more complex things with it, but I had them reduce the complexity of the quests to limit potential risk.

Did you even play the game?
It's made very clear there is virtually no difference between the Legion and NCR. The reason why people side with the NCR isn't because they're good its because they're the most relateable because of how modern they are compared to the Legion. When you see how fucked up the NCR is, you understand what Caesar is doing and why. I feel like half of the people never actually listened to what Caesar wants to do or has any idea of the Legion's purpose.
