Fallout: New Vegas

[phyzik]

Most of those seem like they would make the game way to easy, for me anyway. The Overhaul Kit sounds freaking awesome though.

I guess I should have clarified how Im playing the game......

Difficulty set at hard...

Playing in Hardcore mode...

Not that easy even with these mods.

The run faster mod just increases run speed, even on mobs.... doesnt imbalance anything IMO, just makes travel faster and combat more intense IMHO especially if you dont use VATS.

FOOK is freaking awesome....

Freeplay after main quest.... How can anyone think thats a cheat? It just extends the game so you can continue to search around for more quests after "beating" the game.... It should have been this way from the get go, like Oblivion was.

The Karma mod, I could see as a cheat if you abuse it, but its not a huge imbalance and the only time I actually find it usefull is when looting ammo crates.

Level cap increased to 100.... you still have to level up.

The last 2 I listed could be considered cheats I guess (like I said in my previous post). Currently Im not using the remove requirements mod. I did use it for a bit but just made it too hard for me to decide what perk to take each level.

[phyzik]

how do you get banned?

Without Mods, if you bet at the casino's and actually make money off of them, you will get comps, like a real casino. If you make enough money off of them they will ban you from playing games... You can still go in and use the suite and stuff, you just cant bet anymore.

There's a couple of mods at the http://www.newvegasnexus.com/ that will increase the ammount of money you can win, or completely remove the "banning". also, there is a mod that allows for an increased bet limit.

The default limit is like 200 chips or something, there is a mod that allows you to bet up to 5000 chips if you want, although if you have 10 luck, I would consider it a cheat. You can make TONS of chips with this mod. You could have over 100,000 chips in less than 10 minutes playing blackjack.

I'm deciding whether to

A) not purchase Vegas

B) purchase it for the XBox

C) purchase it for the PC

[redzero]

Always go with PC.

Boone is a badass.

Dude, get it for PC. Better graphics + Mods = wayyyyyyyy better than anything the console can deliver.

Easily worth the $, I'm guessing i'll get at least 300 hours out of it

[symple19]

and yes, Boone with the Anti Material Rifle is unstoppable. I also gave Boone the Oh Boy! Sledgehammer, so he owns up close too

[Muser]

I love this game, I just killed Mr House and uploaded Yes Man..Great game.

[Muser]

But those ing Cazadors are annoying as .

[resistanze]

Not touching this game until Christmas, tbh

[IronMexican]

I don't like Raul as a companion, but I love having stuff deteriorate 50% slower. I got the perk that lets you repair stuff with similar items, so I might go back to Boone.

[RandomGuy]

2 Red rings, one simply wouldn't display, couple weird errors that I had to battle for warranty coverage, and now the disk drive. The room never gets hotter than 75 degrees, usually more like 70. There's an A/C unit blowing almost directly at the TV and systems.

Meanwhile, first PS3 has worked without a hitch for several months now.

That sounds a lot like a string of errors easily attributable to shoddy electrical wiring.

Get a line conditioner, and see if that helps. Remember these things are essentially specialized computers, and electronics can be sensitive to hiccups in the flow of electricity.

[RandomGuy]

Always go with PC.

Boone is a badass.

Zero punctuation. Know it. Love it.

[Xevious]

Beat it with the independent ending. I actually feel kinda bad doing so because I spent so much time doing quests for and helping the NCR. So I may reload and try it with NCR pretty soon. Odo/Mr. House can go himself though.

On to Assassin's Creed Brotherhood...

[ManuTP9]

I should of been got this ! but i've been too distracted with Reach,Prolly get it today or tommorow

yeah, I felt the same after beating it by helping Mr House, doing it NCR style this time around... Really love this game, especially with MODS

[Brutalis]

I love Fallout. Elder Scrolls too.

However after the recent birth of my baby I can't afford to buy New Vegas. Sucks my buddies are playing it non-stop.

Arrrrgghhh

[symple19]

okay, so I use the mods phyzik listed, plus a few more.

Here they are:

MTUI http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloa...e.php?id=34902

Description
Essential UI adjustments for Fallout: New Vegas. Smaller fonts, larger item selection areas, improved conversation menus, etc. Designed for screen resolutions of 1024x768 and higher.

Fellout http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloa...e.php?id=34888

Description
Fellout NV removes the orange tint from most areas and creates a realistic lighting environment. It does this indoors and out. Static lighting is usually a bit darker, but has a longer range (or a larger "pool") while ambient lighting is reduced - Check Freeside out at night.

The weather modes are overhauled and given realistic brightness, realistic colouring and realistic lighting. There's a night now (because the game sure didn't have any nights) which gets pretty dark, the daytime desert haze fades off into the distance naturally, you can almost feel the desert sun beating down on your neck!

(included with fellout is friendofthenightforfellout.esp, a perk which lessens the impact of the very dark nights included with this mod. still darker than the vanilla version, and makes for some scary encounters while traveling after sunset)

CONELRAD, Civil Defense Radio http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloa...e.php?id=35061

Description
This mod adds a new radio station to your Pip-Boy 3000. Hosted by Katrina, the station plays 55 music tracks from the era of the
Atomic Threat, including 29 authentic public service announcements from
Civil Defense Washington.

2 hours, 20 minutes of Music across 55 tracks
22 minutes of PSAs & Civil Defense
Custom station host dialogue.

The station is fully scripted as per official stations.

New Vegas Bounties http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloa...e.php?id=37310

Description (note that I have loaded this but not playtested yet. However, lots of positive endorsements on NVnexus)

"New Vegas Bounties I" is the first installment in a planned series for Fallout: New Vegas. Upon initiating the quest, you'll be tasked with tracking down the most malevolent and vile assortment of outlaws in the Mojave Wasteland.

Your targets will include rogue rangers, fiends, raiders, drug smugglers, cannibals, and pistoleros, to name a few. Your opponents are all designed to be boss-caliber, akin to the fiends in "Three-Card Bounty", and became gradually more difficult as you progress.

At its core, New Vegas Bounties is an action mod; extreme violence and profanity are ubiquitous. In lieu of mind-boggling puzzles or "go collect x or y resource"-type quests, you will be confronted with dangerous opponents who are designed to frustrate and kill you. You will be harried, ambushed, outnumbered, and outgunned. This is the path of a bounty hunter - take it or leave it.

This is my first mod for New Vegas, but I've released multiple action/adventure plugins for TES IV. If you leave comments or suggestions I will always respond, and make every effort to correct bugs or conflicts should they arise.
This adapts several characters and elements from JarheadWriter's mod, Potomac Breaks (FO3), with his permission.

It includes 436 lines of fully-voiced dialogue (as of version 1.2). I will continue to polish the lip-syncing in future updates, as it is a time-consuming process (and I've gained new respect for voiced mods!).

FOMM (Fallout Mod Manager) http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloa...e.php?id=36901

Description
Fail-Safe Mod Installs
Don't worry if a mod install fails; FOMM cleans up after itself, preventing half-installed mods.
Mod Info Retrieval
When adding new mods, FOMM can retrieve missing information about the mod (such as author and the screenshot) from the web. You are prompted to enable this option, and it can be changed in the settings window.
Mod Versioning
FOMM is able to upgrade mods without have to re-activate them, and without changing which mods overwrite which.
Mod Reactivation
You can change the installation options of mods without have to reinstall them.

For the mod author and tinkerers:
Configurable Scripts
Control how your mod can be installed, and give your users choices. You can write powerful install scripts using the flexible XML Configuration scripts, the more powerful C# Scripts, or event the traditional OBMM/OMOD script language.
Low-Level Editing Tools
FOMM still includes: TESsnip, BSA Creator/Unpacker, Shader Editor.

Grass is Always Greener http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloa...e.php?id=36120

Self explanatory... Greens up the grass

[symple19]

I've noticed that since the latest update, the level cap 100 mod will only allow you to level to 50 before maxing out. Hopefully a fix will come soon

[Jacob1983]

Is there anyway you can prevent The Legion from attacking you? Right now, I'm "vilified" by them but when I wear their gear, they don't attack me for a while. It's hard to explain. They will let me travel to the Fort and I can almost get all the way to the tent that has Caesar in it and then they get pissed and start attacking me. It makes me mad because I need to get inside that tent to get that chip from Benny.

You can only fool people from a faction for so long by wearing their gear, eventually you'll be made in every instance. Since you're vilified, it seems you're going to have to fight your way in, no matter what you do

Unless... You haven't talked to Mr. House at the Lucky 38 for the first time yet. Your faction rep will be reset to neutral with both the NCR and the Legion after starting "The House Aways Wins". This way, you can wear any old thing you want while visiting Caesar.

Otherwise, you're screwed and will have to battle it out

[Jacob1983]

Yeah, you're right. I already killed all of the Legion last night, lol. It was awesome. I went to The Fort and had Boone with me and we basically killed them one by one. We would go to a certain area and kill like two or three at a time and wait and get our health back up.

[Fernando TD21]

Just a small hint.... If you want lots of caps without cheating... start your character with 10 luck.

Start with 9 luck, buy implant later.

BTW, I can't seem to approach the Legion's camp without getting shot, even with the they gave me in Vegas that's supposed to grant me passage.
I don't think it's necessarily a bug, but does anyone knows what's up with that?

Were you wearing NCR armor? Did you have Boone as a companion?


I finished the game twice, first helping NCR, then helping Mr. House. A few things I observed during gameplay:

Hardcore mode doesn't make the game much more difficulty but a lot more annoying. You will probably need one of those perks that allows you to carry more weight, since you will need to carry food/water and ammo will have weight.

The game has too many bugs/glitches. Playing on PC helps, since you can enable the console (debugging tool left by the developers in the PC version of the game) and find a way around some bugs.

I think I liked FO3 more, maybe because New Vegas isn't something entirely new like FO3 was for me. Also because killing mutants was more challenging then killing legions.

* If you are helping Mr. House and you don't want to destroy the Brotherhood of Steel's bunker, there is a mod that enables some hidden dialogue options during that quest. This mod allows you to convince Mr. House to leave the Brotherhood of Steel alone (that's the only mod I used).

[Muser]

that, blowing up the brotherhood bunker was great.

[Muser]

And the Wild Wasteland perk is awesome.
