No New Vegas thread? Let's have one.
Pic related, the best rifle in the game.

Don't bother, it's dead right now. Wait a while.
>>342446649
it sure is
There's a front page post on Reddit right now where the general consensus is F4 is inferior to New Vegas. That made me feel good.

That's not the All American though.
>>342449239
I don't use reddit.
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 ?
>>342449617
Yeah kinda like /v/
New Vegas converted to Fallout 4 Engine when?
So far tbe only thing that's been made is bunch of Ncr Ranger clone mods. Not many Legion stuff either.
>>342449612

Nah
>>342449715
It is clear that /v/ was heavily influenced and is populated by retarded hugboxers, that's for sure.
Good thing I don't browse this sad excuse of a board much anymore.
>>342449617
That really is the average reddit discussion.
Discussion on here is shit but at least it's real discussion.

woodland camo isn't tacticool. most parts of the world have foliage.
Does anybody else get a bit nervous when approaching House for the first time in a playthrough?
>>342450848
On my very first playthrough, yeah definitely.
Now that I know everything about him though, not so much.
>reinstall NV
>mod the shit out of it like always
>after many hours of getting everything to work I get missing models everywhere
>lose motivation
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
>>342452318
Thanks aye, I'll give that a try.
>>342446649
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?
>>342447294
I have to do a playthrough where I use VATS all the time.
>>342452774
Schmexy.
>>342449617
Yeah, pretty much. The main difference between here and there is that criticism doesn't get automatically censored here and the "snowball effect" for decent posts is less pronounced.

Also is there any specific order you should install certain type of mods to avoid errors if that makes sense?
>>342449612
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.

>tfw the kings weren't considered their own faction you could help ascend to power

>>342453503
The same could be said for the Boomers, Khans, Brotherhood, etc.
The Kings are almost meaningless. in the grand scheme of things. No one gives a shit about Freeside.
What do you guys think of this?

But the boomers were isolationists, they wouldn't want to run the wasteland even if they could
Khans were refugee-tier, honestly the powder gangers had more power than them i never got when anybody gave a shit about them considering most of them were dead

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)

>>342454048
>>More power armour choices
3 and NV have the same amount of power armors.
>>342454356
>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.
>>342454993
~ player.additem f 20000
There you go faggot
>>342455451
It's too long for multiple playthroughs
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.
>>342455298
>Cyber dogs in Big MT take three .50 cal crits to the head at level 30.
Ridiculous level scaling is ridiculous.
>>342455661
I just did it again when i started up a new game
>found out i missed some pretty cool shit in the game including multiple companions and the fort constantine quest
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
>>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
>the ghost people of dead money when you go in at level 30
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

They die from 1-2 hits from a bear trap, even with unarmed at 15.

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
I know how to play it, but with caps being a non-issue through the entire game, there's not much point to it.
>>342456103

>>342456490
But it's fun to rob No-Bark every time you traipse through Novac
>>342456561
You realize you're supposed to cripple limbs, right? Bear trap does extra damage to limbs
Crippling ghost limb = dismemberment and instant death
>>342456514
So what you're saying is that this game is too hard for you?
>>342456641
>Crippling ghost limb = dismemberment and instant death
Wait, really?
>>342456804
Elijah tells you
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.

wew lad
They really ought to put a warning on it to that effect
shotguns get an unwarranted bad rep in this game,if you spec into them correctly they rape shit
>>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.
>>342457401

>>342457192
You do realize that lots of people survived the nuclear holocaust, right? Not everyone was the descendant of a vault dweller, and not everyone got ghoulified either.
>>342457208
It's because it isn't the scaling that's the issue.
The enemies are ridiculous regardless of level.
Try going in earlier and you should have a better time, I know I do.
>>342457528
Shotguns are fucking OP in the best of ways, anon.
What are you smoking?
>>342457669
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.
Fallout has never been about realism.

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
go to another thread
>>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.

>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

And Stay Back. Toughness. Hand loader. Grunt. Confirmed Bachelor. Bloody mess. Implant GRX.
>>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.
>>342458145

>>342457669
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
PS3 version can't handle when saves get over a certain size
The more you play, bigger your save gets
Game will gradually slow down and essentially become corrupt
360 version is similar but not as bad.
>>342458247
but i played on console (jewbox420) have put easily 300+ hours in between vegas and fallout 3 and have never had any problems....
>until today when my FO3 started stuttering every few step is take, but just need to delete and redownload all my dlc
>>342458237
It really seems like you're just playing the wrong game
Try STALKER series if you want fast-paced gunfights
>>342458341
I use a wired 360 control half the time, all I had to do was plug and play.

>>342458337
>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.
ah gotcha. Yeah, i can't into computers so haven't played a game on one since the phantom menace game back in 2002 or so
Want to get fallout 1 and 2 at some point though
>>342458415
>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.

>Try STALKER series if you want fast-paced gunfights
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.

What if they notice New Vegas sales are going up and they decide to give Obsidian another Fallout to work with?
>>342459721

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

>don't work at company anymore
Did they all quit to work somewhere else or did they get fired?

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

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

>>342461320

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.

>>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

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

>>342462162

>>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

>>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.

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.

Sure it has lots of content, but Legion has significantly less and the game is filled with bugs.
They didn't make stuff then remove it, they never had time to create it at all.
It's strange how the game just abruptly ends and how you can only get certain items during the Hoover Dam battle, but they were planning on having world changes post-game.

>You couldn't equip this
Why
>>342469376
http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/39494/?
When choosing your equipment, which is more important to you: the raw stats, or ease of maintenance (ammo supply and availability, available spare parts...)?
I find myself mostly using weapons like Ratslayer or All-American because the ammo is dirt cheap and plentiful and it isn't impossible to find spare parts.
>>342469853
Early on I come by with the easy shit, which have few ammo issues and repair issues
From mid game onward its pure stats, because around that time I have Jury Rigging and caps to throw around so ammo and repair arent an issue
However I can never stop grabbing that hunting rifle near Boulder City
The weapon is just too good for early game, and still useful late game

>>342469853
I usually find a way to make the easy weapons really good. Like Gehenna + Pyromaniac out damages Oh Baby! with a much longer lifespan.
My one guns playthrough I only used revolvers and I managed to beat most of the game using a .357. Jury Rigging trivializes almost everything besides ammo.
>>342457401
Raider Blastermaster Helmet
Roving Trader Outfit
>>342469853
You can get shit tons of ammo every kind, just need to find proper merchant. And thats the problem. Most people don't know about them and keep using early game weapons just because don't have ammo for late game guns.
>>342469853
Stats and weight of the weapon and ammunition. Ammo and maintenance aren't an issue in lategame and with Jury Rigging especially.
Early game, I'd definitely consider the cheaper option though.

/v/ just shitposts itself to no return. Sometimes I wonder if they're even pretending anymore.
I don't understand why there weren't any more electricity weapons in the newer Fallout games.
There have been some high-voltage weapons in the past.
The Super Cattle Prod, the old-school Pulse Pistol and Rifles.
EMP technology is great and all but only causing damage to machinery and not flesh is stupid.
You should be able to fry circuitry and singe flesh with shock weapons. That should be the ultimate energy weapon.
I mean they can clearly do it. They even have shotgun shells that have deliver pulse energy, so why not high-voltage electricity?

There kinda is. It's the independent ending for New Vegas
More or less the Kings have much more legitimacy with a stable independent Vegas to enforce their "only mind the consequences" ideas. The securitrons are just there to stop dangers from within and without, like the Omertas with their chlorine bombs or Legion/NCR invaders. Freeside is only the way it is during the game because House tolerates it. Once you take off the shackles and make it real, I'd imagine the Kings stay on top right next to the Garrets and the Van Graffs.

>Status effect
I misread your first post
>>342475461
Some animations are broken. Model and textures looks like ass. Fucking awful sounds. It's terrible.
>>342476152
the electrical weapons would be the final tier or require a lot of ammo in order to power it. perhaps even require a lot of materials to build it. maybe even a quest.
Since Gauss weapons aren't even that great in this game it wouldn't feel too much of a stretch.
I wish HH was longer. It had my favorite atmosphere.
Also my favorite load out was Graham's armor, ALSITD, and a goddamn ranger helmet. Also modded the ammo to be OP, but it's been so long I can't remember what the ammo mods were called.
Not quite the walking tank I was in FO3, but still the #1 death machine in the Mojave.
>>342476552

ENBs cause so many visual glitches they're not even worth using outside of screenshots
Also your game is stuttering like crazy

stuttering and blurry. also it's very hard to properly fit good looking webms that are under 3MB.
you should just upload the mp4 directly onto a filehost site like pomf.cat or something.

It's such a shame. Skyrim's ENBs came so far, they can even be used alongside AA
F3/NV ENB breaks in certain sections of the map, shadows warp around the edges of your screen and has loads of transparency-related problems

fucking wew. that should not be that way. my whole line in that interaction (that you're talking him down from the ledge rather than actually reasoning with him with the intent of making him give up his ways) was not represented. Obsidian pls.
now I'm kinda struggling with justifying in my RP mind that I really want to talk to him about stuff where he sits in vigil at the edge of the divide.. I must admit I've come to like him quite a bit

He doesn't have a hard-on for Skyrim, everyone else does. The Fallout version gets practically no downloads so he doesn't bother.
>>342482796
doesn't matter really since it was still a HORRIBLE rpg but at least 4 has a decent open world and fun gameplay
4 even has a few likeable characters, 3? bah no
>>342482605
>Project shinada
Riot Shotgun is better than Hunting Shotgun
>>342482673
Except 3 was better than 4.
Regardless of that, it's like comparing two different kinds of shit.
Yeah, you may prefer one over the other, but at the end of the day they are still shit.
The issue isn't they think f3>f4
The issue is they actually like f3

Skyrim's engine, while still gamebryo, has been updated since NV and can handle things like that better.

How's 4chan treating you, champ? Don't forget to do your homework.
>>342482998
Letting goof my dick
>>342482871
4's open world was just boring dungeons filled with mutants, ghouls or raiders, with no significance whatsoever
Aside from the controls, the gameplay is essentially the same. Power armor, while fun, makes you completely invincible.
Only characters I liked was Nick and Curie
>>342482926
4 has decent gameplay at least, 3 is unplayable, borderline unplayble
>>342482982
moira the ghoul :^)
>>342483015
yeah a non 4channer hating on fallout 3, are you brain dead?

>>342483097
>4 has decent gameplay
Where did this meme come from? Every single gun feels like shit.
>>342483097
>The only likable characters in 3 are decaying zombies
Just fuck my shit up
>>342483067
3's dungeons were boring filled with mutants, ghouls or raiders, with no signifance whatsoever.
Point is, the overall open world is better done in fo4, compare boston to FUCKING D.C for one
>>342483150
come on m8 they came a long way, guns even have sonic crackle, dedicated shooters don't have that
>>342483181
kek
>>342482924
This is correct.
>>342483248
What the fuck is sonic crackle and what does it have to do with the gameplay? And also 3 had more interesting locations than 4.
>>342483248
>the overall open world is better done in fo4, compare boston to FUCKING D.C for one
As much as I hate 4, fucking this
D.C was a huge letdown, it's a fucking metro simulator if anything
>>342483354
its the noise bullets make when they go faster than the speed of sound, sonic boom or w/e, english isn't my first language
3 had shit locations, overall most PRESS E ON DOOR TO ENTER places were shit in both 3 and 4 but boston >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> D.C and then some
>>342483420
yeah
>>342483581
So the sound assets are better. That's nice, but it doesn't really affect gameplay.
How the fuck do I even use a mini nuke launcher? Every time I try to shoot Esther I immediately die.
NMC and Ojo cover weapons in their retexture too right?
>>342483717
Nope. Check the retex guide in this http://wiki.step-project.com/User:EssArrBee/FalloutNewVegas
>>342483654
First you aim up
Then you fire
If step 1 is too hard then use VATS
>>342483717
No
Weapon Retexture Project covers ballistics
EVE covers energy weapons
There isn't really a pack for melee weapons, better off downloading invdividually.
>>342483648
having guns that sound just right is important in a shooter and one of the things that help gunplay feel great, 4 has decently punchy weapons and aside from the shotguns that were super disappointing it was actually above the average AAA milshooter. Only downside is that there is no variety and they didn't even bother adding recoil dampening on the power armor, but I guess mods will help with that
>>342483654
Launcher for very long range
Miniguns for medium range
Flamers for short range
As easy as that
>>342483813
Vats and nuke is a death sentence.
>>342483840
Too bad the game is full of bullet sponge enemies, half of which instantly go back to full health and get a magical buff
Mutations are so fucking shit and whoever thought of them should be shot.
>>342483964
Not if you have a height advantage
>>342483972
Fucking modders could atleast fucking go and aply the bash tag script on their fucking mods. I just went through 90 mods that did not have all necessary bash tags.
>>342483972
ye they cant balance anything for shit, but imagine having to shoot those sponges with fallout 3's horrible mechanics, oh wait we did. Aside from the healing part I guess
>>342484081
Really the only thing F3 was missing gameplay-wise was iron sights, which can be modded in.
Mods can't fix F4's entirely linear quests and awful dialogue
>>342484081
They cant even get the timescale right.
In vanilla it takes 17 ingame minutes to run from sanctuary to Red rocket. quicktravel takes 45 ingame minutes.
>>342483654
You dont
Seriously that weapons has very limited use
Only time I found use for it was the last main quest when you reach Lanius' Camp
I bought every mini nuke and shit I could the whole game long (thanks GRA) and decided to use them right there
I lobbed around a 100 mini nukes over the wall in the encampement
It was fun to carpet bomb the shit out of it and just casually stroll to Lanius
>>342482853
Oblivion has a mod called ShadeMe. It reportedly kills performance though.
Is there some sort of mod that lets you have a weapon on your back and on your hip holstered at the same time?
>>342484242
3 had some better quests I agree but the dialogue was awful and there was even more than it rather than short discussions like in 4. You were also forced to stare at those faces as well. Now I'm not saying fo4s four yes answers are better in any way but 3 didn't exactly shine on dialogue either. And it had the same shitty speech checks you could just reload until you got right
Adding ironsights doesn't instantly fix the weaker sound design, the poorer animations, recoil feel, the fact that the sniper goes 50 meters or scoping with it reveals the even poorer than fo4 LOD which is buggy as fuck with the only proper fix, aka uGrids increase
>>342484272
and this is surprising how?
>>342484473
This is the best mod if you want to mod the visuals in oblivion
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/45749/?
The author is justa fucking idiot that plasters the mod with unnecessary additions like lock-on in combat that are enabled by default. and no one wants to share their sooper secrit configs
>>342484473
That's fucking amazing
Something similar was being worked on for NV but the author ditched it and didn't even bother to upload his work anywhere
The performance hit would be monstrous, they would be entirely CPU-dependent, and neither Oblivion nor NV can properly use more than one core.
>>342484272
I'm pretty sure fast travel is based on the time it takes to walk to places as opposed to run.
>>342484660
Hate that fucking guy. He's done some okay work and shat all over everything else in OBGE. Awful attitude, too.

I did several missions for a fascist government agent before she revealed herself by asking me to do something horrible. I'm like, uh, no thanks, and THANK YOU game designers for making me spend all that time on a person who sucked. Worse, I actually liked the faction she represented, I just didn't like her – but there was no working around her, she was in charge, so I had to abandon a group I'd spent most of the game trying to help. Whoopsie! There goes my emotional connection to the game! If this were an exception it'd be interesting, but it's the rule in New Vegas.

Well, they basically were hemorrhaging money after New Vegas, and a lot of lay-offs ensued, including people like John Gonzales (the guy responsible for pretty much all of the best writing in the game) leaving the actual studio to have fewer numbers.
Are there any good sexy lady mods for NV?

Not 80's but do Vash the Stampede.
Tag guns, speech and barter (or survival idk)
High Charisma and Luck, low Intelligence, try to use a revolver whenever possible and take all one-handed weapon perks, and maybe that glasses perk too. Of course if you can come up with a better build than this by all means please use it instead of this one
>>342490956
Well Fallout 4 got an 84 too. I doubt Bethesda has any sort of power.

Besides, they've been canonically as far as California.
Can't factions side with you during Hoover Dam when you're with House or independent? It's always either NCR or Legion?
>>342491143

But Vash just acted dumb, he was actually the most intelligent being on the planet.
>>342454452
Kenshiro is from the 80s.
>>342491347
You get strong protectron escorts to fight with you.
>>342491347
because house and yes man want to keep their takeovers under wraps.
And we can't have all the little factions around spreading word to the NCR or legion

>isn't compelled to get revenge on the guy who shot you in the head
nu-male detected
>>342491386
True, but I figured he has to min-max somewhere. In hindsight maybe Vash isn't the best character to try in this game, he is a little too perfect
>>342491892
Probably most fighting anime MCs would be too competent for New Vegas.
>>342491601
