Last Fallout I played was 2, and that was ages ago.
From my understanding this is the best of the "new" ones, right?
Also if that's the best one to play, are there any mandatory mods or should I go in dry?
>>333279834
Yes.
You might want to look into general performance/bugfix mods, a mod to fix console UI and JSawyer.esp, a mod made by project lead in his free time that rebalances some stuff and mostly makes the game harder.
>>333279834
Bug fixes but otherwise there's enough content to not need mods. But knock yourself out.
>>333280240
thats the case with almost every bethesda game though
they have alot of content but mods make it better
like the Nick Cage Moon mod
that shit added like 5 hours of gameplay for me
>>333280750
New Vegas is not a Bethesda game. It has actual, well thought out content.
>>333280947
A piece of shit game like New Vegas doesn't even deserve to be compared to a good game like Fallout 3.
It's so fucking broken, you can't even get past the first area because it's impossible at your levelI literally tried everything and no matter what I would always get killed by all those damn Deathclaws that are blocking the way to where I need to go.
No matter what, there was nothing I could do, I ended up selling the game back to Gamestop.
Sure, I guess if you had no life you could grind in the starting area until you were a high enough level, but I don't have the fucking time for that.
I guess it just goes to show you that the only people who did enjoy New Vegas has no life. THERES A FUCKING REASON WHY BETHESDA PUTS LEVEL SCALING IN THEIR GAMES OBSIDIOTS, AND ITS TO AVOID SHIT LIKE THIS.
Also the desert is a fucking boring place for Fallout. Capitol Wasteland >>>>>>>>>>> Mojave Desert
how come everyone outside /v/ shitheads dislike new vegas ? 4
op dont fall for ''best'' meme new vegas is slightly better than 3 because it was a never fallout .
now if you dont care much about lore and all you should play fallout 4 because gameplay vise it is the best one.
dont trust /v/ on game advices these people are just hating on everything because most of them are sad people who shitpost on 4chan 24/7
>>333281083

>>333279834
Sawyers mod and bugfixes are all you'll need
>>333281374
Looks more like a joke to me.
>>333281412
Some UI mod to fix FUCKHUEG console letters in dialogue box and inventory is pretty much required too.
It's fine without mods, but they improve the game ten fold even if you install a handful.
>>333279834
Pick up the someguy series of mods if you want it to feel even more like a western
Did the stutter remover fix anything for you guys?
For UI I found Darnified UI the best, pic related.
the details like food etc is only if you're using project nevada in hardcore mode
>>333279834
>From my understanding this is the best of the "new" ones, right?
Yes, but you need to understand simple thing
It's still a "new gen" fallout with all problems that come from it
Is being 10~15% more rpg than fallout 3 a good thing? Yes it is. Does it make NV a good fallout game? Fucking no
And it's full of typical obsidian writing, so if you older than 20 years old, than it will be annoying as fuck for you
>>333281612
"The Inheritance" is amazing and has a bunch of side quests. It is a little unbalanced though but it allows you to put to use all those weapons you've acquired.
That mission where you hold off waves of Legion attacks was awesome, but I had to bring a missile launcher, all my companions and a mini-gun to win it. That room with the ghouls was a pain in the ass too.
>>333281870
>And it's full of typical obsidian writing, so if you older than 20 years old, than it will be annoying as fuck for you
you should repay Fallout 2 some day, Mr. Grown Up
Outside of bug fixes, I would recommend cosmetic mods more than content mods. Things like Electro-city, Nevada Skies, Vurt's Floral Overhaul, and HD texture packs to make the game not look as terrible. There is more than enough shit to do in the base game without really needing to mod it for your first playthrough.
>>333279834
NV Anti-Crash and bugfix mods are a must, but you can enjoy this game just fine mostly vanilla. The only gameplay changing mod I installed is one that gives my character the ability to sprint. You can add additional mods later to suit your liking.
>>333282094
i never touch the texture packs, i've found they're the main culprit for crashes - a good ENB can more than make up for it. however i do play with shit like warzones and high spawns which already fuck the framerate.
>>333282053
I did, it was fun and made me smile few times
Dude, you should totally check out Fallout 4. It's SOOOO much better.
>>333281726
>Willow
>>333279834
In terms of consistency and world building, yes. It's graphically and mechanically shit like Fallout 3
>>333282283
I have all the companions, for some reason she doesn't fuck off out of my JIP though.
>>333282226
Pop-cult references are so good when they reference things from my childhood.New Vegas has way better writing though, let's be real here.
>>333282282
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvGXCisAaR4
>>333282210
That might be true. I usually don't mess with ENBs because too lazy to make it good and I'm worried it'll drop my framerate. I have various texture packs installed and I'm convinced I get less crashes with all my mods than when I played it vanilla, but that was on a shittier PC.
>>333279834
play with mods but only ones that improve the game without changing the fundamentals
>>333281870
Can you give some examples of typical obsidian writing, anon?
CASM and 4GBEnable don't hurt. NVAC and NVstutter remover should also improve the experience, New Vegas is a really shitty port.
>>333282471
I grew up on Fallout 1 and 2, I remember playing FO1 demo on one of those old demo disks you got with magazines and was hooked. But I just dig New Vegas more than them both. Fallout 3 can suck a dick though, I haven't bothered with 4.
>>333281083
>>333282341
New Vegas is fine mechanicallywith JSawyer, anyway.One of better FPS-RPGs.
>>333282643
guess it's different for each person, textures have never meant a great deal to me compared to ENBs. i just prefer the world having colour and life, without the world always just looks orange and washed out.

>better writing
Nah, only if you are student or teenager
It's actually possible to grew up from obsidian writing, and I don't talk about pop references, but more about their boring general teen edgy tone
>>333283390
New Vegas has plenty of jokes, you probably didn't recognize them because they weren't referencing South Park or Pinky and the Brain.
>>333283390
>boring general teen edgy tone
>>333283632
Again, having jokes in your game have nothing to do with general style
But I guess memes already ate your brain, so you can't understand even such simple things
>>333284150
>But I guess memes already ate your brain
I dunno, I'm not the one defending FO2 writing.
It's funny that you call New Vegas writing "edgy" though, as if FO2 intro doesn't feature a scene of a family being shredded by miniguns. But yeah, FO2 hadn't any edginess in it. Or memes. Good old Fallout 2, man.
>>333279834
I enjoyed F3 more. But the consensus is that NV is the better game. It also most definitely has the better main story. While I personally am of the belief that F3 has the better sidequests and a much more interesting beginning.
Advantages of Fallout 3
-the first 2h are better (in my opinion)
-more children to interact with, and more meaningful side content with 'em.
-the world actually feels more like a wasteland (as the name implies), with themes like slavery more thoroughly explored.
-more memorable sidequests
Advantages of NV
-much better main story (it's very lackluster in F3)
-an anti-casual mode, with disabled fast-travel and some other stuffs for Roleplayers.
-better overall writing
-dialogue is more in-depth and branches further
I really disliked the Legion in NV, since i cannot suspend my disbelief enough to accept spear-throwing is on par with guns.
No reason to start with NV, even if it's the better game. Going from NV to F3 might be a shitty idea, for how much more "advanced" it is. And both are dirt-cheap anyways. Play F3 first, and if you don't like the first 5 hours, just switch to NV.
>>333284530
Not sure is it bait or you are really THAT retarded
Having dark world with plenty of humor and having edgy world with plenty of humor are 2 totally different things
>>333284729
>Advantages of Fallout 3
>-more children to interact with
Reported you, scum.
>>333279834
It looks like shit and Vegas is underwhelming.
That's about it for my issues with the game. Pretty awesome otherwise.
>>333284729
I imagine children were removed for being huge immersion-breakers considering you can't kill them or hurt them at all.
>>333284906
Yeah, and the difference between them is "I like this game so I'll call it DARK" and "I don't like this game so I'll call it EDGY".
Wow, that's a great argument!
>>333284530
>Serious tones = Edgy
This bait has gone rancid
>>333283390
>teen edgy tone
How? New Vegas was pretty lighthearted with some sad side stories here and there. There wasn't really anything that edgy about New Vegas outside of maybe some things that Caesar's Legion did.
New Vegas was basically a spaghetti western/50's parody set in a scifi post-apocalyptic setting. Even the DLCs weren't really that grimdark or edgy outside ofdead money.
>>333284906
>muh muh dark world with old memes is better than muh dark world with newer memes
I think you're the edgy one, friendo.
>>333285161
Vegas is actually pretty grim IMO. All the sides in the major conflict are flawed as fuck, and the war is portrayed as a terrible thing that is draining and damaging for combatants and everybody else affected by it.
>>333285161
>the DLCs weren't really that grimdark
OWB is horrific once you get past the deliberately overblown "insane brains in jars" thing
>>333285394
>experimental cities
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU FAGGOTS
>>333285291
Vegas has a grim undertone but the general world-feel isn't really that dark. Like once you get into the war you get into the whole "war sucks, war is bad" trope with horrific deeds on both sides. I'm mostly just saying what >>333284906 said is flawed, just because NV has dark themes doesn't mean it has a dark/edgy feel.
>>333285394
OWB actually gets really dark, I forgot about that. Point being, it's not really "edgy", it's just sci-fi horror levels of dark.
>>333281374
>>333282794
>>333285995
Is it even really worth it to point out bait posts anymore
>>333285673
Oh, the "edgy" guy is a faggot, sure. I'm just saying Vegas feels pretty dark to me, but it's not really a bad thing and it still has humour there, in fact it's a really good mix of non-referential humour and generally dark themes, I think.
I mean, the perfect example of that kind of humour is FO1 intro, the "Buy war bonds" ad. You see the text about "our boys" keeping peace in the freshly annexed Canada, then you see two power armour clad guys executing a tied up prisoner in cold blood, his brains fly out, one of the soldiers turns and waves at the camera. "Buy war bonds!". The contrast is funny, but it makes you think about what the fuck was the society where that was acceptable. Well, of course that was until Bethesda retconned pre-war America to be nuclear-family green-lawns blue-skies paradise, instead of a hellish totalitarian shithole with food riots. Thank you, Todd. Thank you so much.
>>333284729
>the world actually feels more like a wasteland (as the name implies), with themes like slavery more thoroughly explored
How to detect an underage who has never played Fallout 1 or 2 and actually knows nothing about the series.

wew lad
>>333286068
No. "Bait" Is the perfect meme because it's bred newcucks into the optimal state over the years to be subject to trolling. How succesful was a troll that got 35 "THIS IS BAIT OMG FUCK OFF" replies? Huh? They sure avoided the bait alright.
Bait and "pretending to be retarded" have only made people bigger suckers for trolling, and all the easier to troll than ever. This is troll paradise because when someone calls something "bait" then the person continues arguing the so called bait, they'll immediately assume said person is being serious. It's a gold mine for modern trolls. You're all oblivious, it's like fish in a barrel, now it's less of crafting epic trolls so much as it is just seeing how long you can keep your combo going when it comes to trolling people.
>>333286332
F3 was more of a reboot anyways. No reason to be autistic about it.
>>333284729
:^)
>>333284729
>-the world actually feels more like a wasteland (as the name implies), with themes like slavery more thoroughly explored.
Except it's 200 years after the war by that time whole civilization has risen in the west, slavery makes no sense because there is no one to buy them, no farms to use them at. face it Toddler Howard shoehorned that any many other things to try and appeal to the older fans
>>333286332
that pic made me rage
>>333284729
>more memorable sidequests
I honestly can't remember that many of the "good" sidequests outside of making the wasteland survival guide. It's been almost 5 or 6 years since I last played much of F3 though.
>>333289113
I would replay FO3 but I can't get it working on my computer, I tried installing it on my laptop and it works there with that mod that tricks the game into thinking you're using a GX 7500 or whatever card and an ini you add that basically tells the game to take it easy, but the same method still makes it crash on my actual PC every 15 seconds
>>333286332

>>333289429
I actuallycompletely forgot about Harold being in 3 and enjoyed that quest.
>>333289612
That one was pretty good, too. Honestly F3 did exploring pretty well, it had some great locations. It also had the Gary vault, which was kind of funny.
>>333289376
although honestly i would not have been introduced to the series if not for 3.
>>333281612
This, I loved NV bounties 1 and 2 but I haven't played the third one.
>>333290037
I'm in the same boat, 3 was my first game. Played NV next, got into the first two and fell in love with the lore.I still think 3 is the worst main game, though.

Bitter Springs story and sequoia-guy sucide actually.
I'm confused about overall impression, New Vegas like is about ressurection and decay of old world simultaneously. And all these "let go", "old world blues" and "old symbols"-themes in dlc are mindfucks too.
New Vegas is like an old man who just sitting in corner and tell old tales without real morales.

>>333279834
Remember that there's a proper order for the DLC campaigns (they have a sort of continuous story). There's two main orders
Release order:
Dead Money > Honest Hearts > Old World Blues > Lonesome Road
Suggested minimum level by the game:
Honest Hearts (any) > Old World Blues (15+) > Dead Money (20+) > Lonesome Road (25+)
I'd personally suggest going with the release order apart playing switching HH and DM's places. HH is the least connected to the other DLC and it's also the easiest of the bunch. I have no idea what is going on with the official suggested minimum level order as OWB has much more bullet spongy enemies and harder combat encounters than DM does. Story wise the ending of OWB also heavily implies that LR is supposed to come right after it. Late dialogue in DM also implies that the player isn't supposed to have visited Big Empty yet. Whatever you do save LR for last as it's supposed to be the finale.
tl;dr HH > DM > OWB > LR
>>333290462
mfw I came up with the same order by myself
>>333290447
I don't like Millenia weapons except for retexures.
They look too clean and tacticool.
>>333290462
OWB has some insanely overpowered items too.
>>333289376
If only Troika had been able to get the rights. Troika would still be alive and Fallout would still be Fallout.

Script extender and 4gb patch, use the patch as it automatically turns on the script extender if installed
Graphics mods are optional but character overhaul 3 is pretty good (except some of the heads call the wrong location and appear as purple because the mod maker is retarded, don't think it messes with any npc but you could uninstall it.) Don't bother with the ENB shit.
Get WMX weapon mod... mod
Get Mod Configuration Menu
Get Unarmed and melee perk fix if it interests you
Get a home mod like Goodsprings home if you don't want anything lorebreaking
Take a look at the New Vegas Uncut mods, not essential
Project Nevada is overrated as fuck, I only got it for the added equipment and sprint
Use the Nexus Mod Manager. You can find all the good nonporn shit on the Nexus so it doesn't gimp you much. I used to only use manual installation and it can be a bitch to fix mistakes. Then install LOOT and fix the loadorder. Or you can just tell me to fuck off and play the game, at least get YUP.

I'm almost at 100 in 4, I'm like 150 in NV I think.
I really only explore and build settlements in FO4, I'm almost level 50 and only just nowfound the institute.
Something about the setting is just cozy to explore, even if I hate the lore and the quests.
to reiterate once more Fallout has always had technology from the 1990s and perhaps even fictional futuristic technology like pic related.
i don't know what is wrong with Bethesda, but not everything is made up of trash or found in museums.

I think that and the fact that everything isn't a perpetual brown/gray is also pretty nice. Moving around also feels less floaty, and the landscape is at least somewhat easier on the eyes than DC's burnt trees/rubble and NV's desert. The exploration/feel of Boston is probably the one thing that Beth did right in 4, starting out is actually prettyfun. Just wish there were more to do early-on.

That fucking stock always bothers me when I see it. I don't care about the "advanced" weapons being ass compared to the normal laser weapons, I just chalk it up to them being mass-produced plastic garbage. But the stock is just obnoxious.

i can never get hitman's overhaul to look good, i can never get that nice fov look (you know how you can see more of your arms and gun or whatever) and some animations look awkward like most of the pistol animations. it never looks like i'm holding it properly like both thumbs are crossed and being a /k/ommando that shit triggers me to no end. the bold action animation looks lame, he's just pinching the bolt and pulling back with little effort, not grabbing onto it like an actual person would because it takes a little man power to pull that shit back. any suggestions to make this shit look good because vanilla animations are still pretty bad.

there is nothing advanced with the Institute's technology when you have the exact same technology on the West coast.
Glock and Wattz have been manufacturing the same guns centuries before the institute started doing research. This Old World technology is so commonly found that even Raiders have access to them.
Why even bother touching or collecting trash to jury-rig those pieces of shit? I mean look at this shit. Does it look in any way like it belongs in Fallout?

>>333299748
Depends on what mods you install. Some mods like freeside open will just ruin your game completely, so if you install everything correctly and don't install any shitty bloat mods I would think 100 is the cap. I can't imagine having that many though, I have 40 and it feels like a lot.

I depends on what mods and how gud your computer is, post your load order so we can shit on it and give you some pointers. You'll probably need to reinstall if that 20 sided eye kid pic is yours, because there's no going back after you've installed FCO. Again, stay away from that cancer.
>>333299926
My personal rationale for why there aren't many "modern weapons" in fallout
The US army moved on to energy and plasma weapons, balistic weapons were mostly abandoned. So if they want tacticool mods they should be energy/plasma.
>>333299997

Not him, but if you're a beginner (which you probably are if you couldn't find redesigned) take a look at this guy, he's literally the only one who does bethdeshill modding guides right.
I'm think I'm going to start a new game with Roleplayer's Alternate Start. What are some good character ideas?
>>333299926
because the people in the fallout universe are not us.
the ballistic weapons should remain up to around late 90's while energy weapons should be somewhere at least star trek level.
>>333299824
Yeah, but you need FCO for redesigned 3 to work.
>>333299926
It's an alternate timeline you goof, it's a world of tomorrow type deal and having wasteland scum raiders running around with a Tacticool ACR NadeLauncher with ACOG sights looks pretty dumb.

Mostly on the Anchorage Front and in China. Limited deployment against the food riots likely saw some use of directed energy weapons, but they were primarily shipped to the frontlines.
>>333300376
>>333300572
While it's an alternate timeline, the rules of that universe are still (for the most part) the same as ours. What works here, would work there, and I can't imagine that full phasing out of ballistic weapons would be favored by any branch of a jingoist US military. As mentioned above, also, the majority of directed energy weapons that were combat ready went to Alaska and China, while some may have been deployed to those troops quelling food riots. Other examples would likely be at bases, for either training or R&D. Remember that useful directed energy weaponry was, actually, a pretty recent invention in the Fallout universe before the Great War, too.

>>333301168
Provide good reasoning for why logical progressions on Soviet, Swiss, British, and American ballistic weapon design would not occur. Going, 'well it could be different' isn't enough: remember that the US government grew increasingly jingoistic during the Red Scare in the FO timeline, and that sentiment exploded as resource exploitation forced a global shortage. Remember that this is the same US government that invaded Mexico, annexed Canada, and was well on their way to forcing a Chinese surrender at its end. Remember that this is the US government that poured huge resources, even when they were short, into military research and design. It makes no sense, in that context, for ballistic technology to stagnate.
Is copying modern real-world designs the best route? No, I don't think it is, but it isn't completely out of place when you think about it. Would I like to see a greater variety and robustness to directed energy designs? Hell yes: especially now that we have states that exist in the post-war world with access to Old World technology and schematics, and plenty of reasons to want every edge possible over their neighbors. At the end of the day, though, claiming that a modern gun can't be in Fallout because 'it's less Fallout' is pretty absurd. The designs found in the original two games were pretty generic, but well-within modern standards for the time, so you can't also argue that it goes against the original intent.
As for the use of ENBs, I'm not sure if you're one of the people who hates it, but I have to ask: what is the problem? The style in the original two were also relatively close to real, graphics notwithstanding, including color saturation. The usage of shitty filters is a modern, Bethesda invention: removing them in favor of a more natural color scheme is a good thing. Making good textures stand out with proper lighting and post is also a good thing. It looks good and it's consistent. There should be no complaints there.
>>333295913
Todd is similar to Benny from NV in the effect he has on some people.
He shoots you in the head (Oblivion), but you track him down, and for the people dumb enough not to kill him, he supposedly apologises before setting his guards on you and running away (Fallout 3). So then some people are still dumb enough to track him to Caesar's fort, and to set him free. And then he STILL shits on your face (Skyrim).
>>333282731
>I grew up on Fallout 1 and 2, I remember playing FO1 demo on one of those old demo disks you got with magazines and was hooked.
Excact same thing here. I dont even know if i knew enough english to fucking do quests. I just really like the style, sound and overall feel of the game.
I too like NV the best of the bunch since the turn based combat in 1 & 2 is fucking annoying as fuck when you have to wait 10 minutes to get analy raped by super mutants taking their sweet times to walk over to you and penetrate.
>>333301815
the same reason why we still have m16s and a surplus of 5.56mm ammunition. they believe they made them as good as they will ever be.
it was that way until other nations started this race with weapons technology cultivating with energy weapons.
i don't hate the use of ENBs that much because i believe a game should look like a game instead of trying to achieve pixel perfect realism.
>>333301815
Not him, but how about tacticool shit ruins the aesthetic of the game and adds unnecessary complexity to the combat in the game known for it's simplistic but great combat, and you know what if you actually look at the lore in the game that shit didn't even happen, look at the lore of teh game we're discussing rather than your stupid alternate history and downright uneducated shot in the dark.
>>333302361
Reliable weapons are kept as a rule, and generally relegated to training roles as more effective armaments come into use. Remember, also, that the time between now and the Great War in the FO universe is pretty much roughly the amount of time that we've had the M-16. 5.56mm is an effective size: that probably won't change any time soon.
>>333302492
>Not him, but how about tacticool shit ruins the aesthetic of the game and adds unnecessary complexity to the combat in the game known for it's simplistic but great combat
>simplistic
It was actually pretty fucking varied, between being able to carefully kite around foes while railing them down, to going full retard strength and smashing in a Super Mutant's head while you charge forward in your power armor, while your insane luck meant that every bullet somehow missed or clipped you.
>you know what if you actually look at the lore in the game that shit didn't even happen, look at the lore of teh game we're discussing rather than your stupid alternate history and downright uneducated shot in the dark.
All of my argument has been based on the history before the Great War, and considerations of the period after, leading up to New Vegas. Ruining the aesthetic is one thing, as that's opinion-based, and I'm not going to touch that except to say my opinion's better than yours. Saying that these arguments, based entirely on an understanding of the universe's history and lore, ignore the lore, is fucking retarded.

And it shouldnt feel like a fucking wasteland since its been 200 years. Bethesda's fucking wastlanders still havent fixed a fucking hole in the roof for two centuries.
There were towns in Fallout 1 more advanced than anything from 3 or 4.
Slavery was just "there". Nobody fucking bought the slaves, they were just kept in pens. No exploration about it. In Fallout 2, if you became a slaver, you were pretty much fucked for the rest of the game since they tattooed "slaver" on your forehead and rangers would make you target practice.
>-more memorable sidequests
Only good one was The Survival Guide, the rest were pretty much shit.
While I more or less hated Fallout 4, the gun play was fairly spot on. I wish it was similar in New Vegas. I only use melee, VATS or long range sniping because of the shit gun play, desu.

>>333303623
Up until Frank Horrigan, that isn't true in 2.
All the way through, it's not true in 1.
Remember that the turn-based system allowed for various actions and decisions to be made within a long span of time; porting the games over to a real-time engine used for a hack-n-slash RPG changed that, and made critical thought and careful build planning less important than two or three valid strategies.

No. No one would ever do that, yes, the early version of V3 required FCO, but almost everyone knows FCO sucks ass so they just stuck with V2 until v3 became standalone.

In fairness there isnt much future to this series, at least West Coast. Its already over 200 years since the bombs dropped, things are getting organised and civilised. If they did another game 50 years after NV it would just be like playing a first person Mafia or some shit in a civilized NCR country.

I guess with the recent FE that released the gameplay was GOAT in one version, so much so that people have no problems with it and only shit on it for the story even though the prior game made it look like FE was gonna be garbage from there on out.
I don't think I've ever seen a series other than that start to decline then surge back up, usually a decline in quality you find is terminal.

True, although I honestly didn't care much about Ulysses' autism. The dialogue trees in Lonesome Road are probably the best in the whole game, not having 100 Speech didn't mean that you couldn't talk Mr Dreadlocks out of bombing the east and vice versa. The combat was challenging without having a bunch of bullet-sponges (as in Old World Blues), and the environments overall were damn well designed.
Is there a good way to get FO3 working on my PC? I'm on Windows 7, the one Win 7 fix on Nexus didn't end up working, is there another way I could try to get it to run?
