Why is this game so comfy?
Who is the best companion and why is it Lily?
>>375648690
Best song in the game desu.
>>375649331
Best companion is no companion
This is the best courier I've made so far
Why is this outfit so good looking yet so useless?
>>375648713
graphical mods?
Can someone please tell me whats wrong with project Nevada? I use it in all of my play through of the game (I finished it vanilla before) and I saw some people talk shit about it. Also is there an alternative?
>>375650637
>>375651013
>is there an alternative
Jsawyer Ultimate
Is the actual way to play the game
TO THE TOWN OF AGUA FRIA RODE A STRANGER ONE FINE DAY
>>375650718
NMC Large
Ojo Bueno
Realistic Wasteland Lighting
ENB of the Apocalypse
Vurf's Wasteland Overhaul: Dead version
>>375651013
Literally nothing, people bitch about features you can disable. It's also an excellent way to make the game more challenging.
>>375651334
doesnt PN also have options that give the same experience as JU and build on top of it?
>>375648348
I never store screenshots so i only have this one.
I absolutely love my Lee Enfield Mk1 but usually switch to a carbine like the H&K G3 late game.
>>375651491
HARDLY SPOKE TO FOLKS AROUND HIM DIDN'T HAVE TOO MUCH TO SAY
>>375651491
YES I'VE GOT HEARTACHES BY THE NUMBER
>>375651013
It has tons of fluf bundled into one mod so there are bound to be people to hate some features.
I pretty much only have it for the Helmet overlay and the grenades quickbutton. Everything else is disabled.
>>375648348
What are some essential mods
I don't have any of the DLC except for Old World Blues
I'm always a fan of rifles in the 3d fallouts because they have good stopping power at any range plus the ability to get good headshot crits while sneaking easily. The cowboy repeater is my bread and butter for most of any given run in NV
>>375651924
Yea I pretty much do that as well but in my latter play throughs I think I messed with the augs
>>375651597
Exactly! I just thought there were actual flaws with the mod like how stalker mods are
>>375651793
>G3
>carbine
>>375651793
>tfw blue moon comes on
gonna try to mod TTW, hope it goes well
>>375648348
So, list of DLCs from worst to best?
>Honest Hearts
>Lonesome Road
>Dead Money
>Old World Blues
>>375652080
I'm always low on ammo though, especially in early game so I try to use it sparingly
I enjoy Fallout 3.
>>375652148
Whatever.I'm a filthy yuropoor who doesn't know words.I just like the G3 because i used it during my Army times.
>>375652386
yeah magnum ammo isnt very common early on, but you get to use it more often as you level up and start finding more kinds of ammo and better things to sell so you can buy/make it
>>375648348
>see threads like this
>want to come back and play stuff I've missed / new quest mods
>have to redownload the game
>don't remember the dozens upon dozens of mods I had
>will probably fuck up something or other
>give up and try to play another game
happens every single time, I should make a notepad to keep track of this stuff whenever I replay it in the future but it's kinda demotivating to start from scratch when I had a god like character, I remember I even planned out my stats accordingly with the stat increases you can get / buy in vanilla / dlcs
same thing sorta happened with skyrim too when I wanted to have another playthrough, but at least there's enderal which makes you start from scratch anyways, too bad the performance was absolute shit and that demotivated me from playing it altogether, there are also a lot of random collectables and shit there which trigger my autism so I have to look at every inch of the world which is as practical a task as measuring the length of the US railroads with a 12 inch ruler
>>375652460
thats cool anon. I enjoy fallout new vegas
>>375652460
me too.
Are there any good quest mods that are worth playing right now?
>>375648348
You did exterminate the Brotherhood from Nevada yes? Don't tell me you honestly belive their nonsensical, cultist idelogy of "preserving technology" at the expense of every human life around them. Why they even arrested you for snooping in a now abandoned Pre-War facility they squat in.
>>375652497
>yuropoor army
>using a g3
Im also a yuropoor but atleast I know the basic differences between rifle types and there is not a single yuropoor country that ever used a g3 so just admit your ignorance now
You did let go, right?
>>375652382
I'm torn between OWB or Dead Money.OWB is great for exploration but Dead Mony is awesome on survival especially with a couple of mods that make it more difficult.
>>375652794
I know germoney barely counts as european anymore but they used that rifle for 4 decades or something anon.
>>375652996
I don't understand how Dean retained his sanity for 203 years and not go feral by now. What the fuck has he been doing until Dead Money?
>>375652503
is there a perk in new vegas similar to scrounger in fo3?
>>375652824
I didnt
>>375653090
He couldn't let go anon.That's literally what kept him sane.
>>375653116
I think there is
plus you can make ammo in nv as well
>>375653090
he was greedy and determined.also an asshole
>>375653176
Well shit that guy has the willpower of a fucking boulder. If a ghoul is that dedicated to something they're practically immortal unless they absorb too much radiation that rots their brain.
>>375651497
>Ojo Bueno
Thanks man
>>375653078
You do know yuropoor stands for all the balkan shitters and gopniks from around the black sea right? Germany and even eastern Germany isnt really yuropoor by any aspect.
>make new character
>always max INT and CHA
i really have to stop this
>>375653221
>so stubborn and determined he couldn't let go for two centuries
>players think they can bully him into submission with a simple barter check
>>375653423
Germany isn't European anymore because it's Gerministan now, overwhelmed with shiskins just like northern Somalia that used to be Sweden.
>>375653541
What do you think he smells like?
>>375652382
DM is the best
The cast is great, even Dean, asshole as he is
The story is just as good
Exploration is really necessary and rewarding
The atmosphere is perfect
The Ghost People are annoying to fight, but look cool
The radio's and holograms are a bitch, especially in the vault
But the things that really stick to me are the ambient music, especially when the air sirens go off, the ending in which everyone lives and the graffiti like pic related
So many of the messages are of complete despair and I shudder to think what was happening to them at that moment
>>375653703
Copper and sulpher mixed with nasty ghoul smell. He's been drenched in the Cloud for 2 fucking centuries
>>375653426
>[Invest all skill points in lockpick and science Intensifies]
>>375653703
Like all ghouls, rotting flesh
All the cigarettes in the world can't supress that stench
>>375653810
I can't live without Lockpick. No matter how many times I try really hard to stay in character not opening containers or doors bothers the fuck out of me.
>>375653090
>spend 200 years in literally the worst place in the world
>All because you still want to be a dick to a guy who has been dead for 200 years
I wouldn't call him sane
>>375653757
Now that you mentioned it, I would bump to a tie at least. The only thing that annoyed me there was the drastic gameplay change and I was running PN and a Realistic Damage Mod so everything fucking hurt.
>>375653884
I have that with science
I can easily ignore a door that's locked, but a terminal?
Fuck no, who knows, it might hold great stories, or fuck I dunno, something like a password
I love me some story telling
Is it pointless to have high INT for the extra skill points each level?
>>375654014
Well he hasn't turned cannibal, talking to inanimate objects and hasn't turned physchotic like a Fiend so I'd day thats sane. I mean his reasoning is fucking retarded but besides that it seems pretty sane.
>>375654086
Dead Money is better with subsequent playthroughs
While Old World Blues gets worse, especially the School quest. I kinda like the Stealth Suit quest, becauseshe a cutie
>>375653757
>even Dean
Dean Domino is hands down the best character ever written in a Fallout game including 1+2.
People hate him because he was so well written to be an asshole who's narcicissm developed into pure obsession and single-minded determination over 200 years.
>>375654282
She's kinda really annoying sometimes but how would sex with her even work? Do you just jerk off while wearing her?
>>375652824
>open console command
>TGM
>take everything
>>375653090
That one always annoyed me, with ghouls and even House how the fuck do they retain their sanity
>>375654494
You might as well give yourself a million caps
>best long range weapon
>best mid range weapon
>best short range weapon
Go.
>>375654502
Well House slept through the 203 years, with Ghouls it's very confusing, I'm ignoring Shitthesda's fucking retarded reason why Ghouls go Feral "eventually" but I'd assume it's two ways. Either they absorb a shit ton of rads in a short amount of time it damages their brains or they simply give up with everything, eventually degenerating into an animal.
>>375654604
hell no that would make the inflation in Mojave pretty high
>>375654494
>not being able to let go
Is this the best full auto weapon?
>>375654637
scoped hunting rifle with JSP rounds
hunting rifle choked with slugs
fist of the north rawr because fuck you
>>375651013
its balancing features (lowering everyones hp) make the game even easier since you're almost always the one who initiates combat
>>375654841
>That pip boy
>>375654361
I have trouble picking which character I like the best
God/Dog has hands down the best VA and real deep issues.
It's great to see, when you treat God with respect and honesty, that he slowly starts accepting that you aren't as bad as the rest
Christine's lack of VA is what makes her great. Because all her dialogue, ambiant or not, is written they can get way more into detail than they otherwise could. That moment when you go into a narrow tunnel and the game says: [Christine's eyes narrow and sweat appears on her brow] gives away her claustrophobia really well. And the moment where she wants you to hold her hand is really endearing. That was the only time in the game where I saw real debilitating fear. It's also fun to try and understand what she means, before the dialogue options suggest is
Dean is, like you said, so great, because he is well written as a huge fucking dick. And while he deserves death, mostly for being the reason the Sierra Madre is hellhole it is, it is a blast being with him
>>375654932
No, that piece of shit breaks too fast and you can't have any mods. Better off just getting s regular Gatling laser, mod it the fuck up and vaporize every fag in sight.
>>375654637
>YCS/186
>Holorifle
>CZ57 Avenger
Or just Elijah's LAER, if you are drowning in WRK's
>>375655127
>tfw modding Elija's LAER to not have the durability of fucking tissue paper
It's stupid anyway because a fucking weapon shouldn't degrade that fast.
>>375648348
My girlfriend finally quit playing WoW and started playing good games. She wants to play New Vegas after she plays 1 and 2; can someone link me an up to date mod/HD texture list? it's been a while since I've played NV.
What is the best Energy weapon ?
i'm trying a new run with a Nerd-like build, but past level 75, all energy weapon are heavy weapon based
i like the recycle ammo system from the Energy weapons, but i cant find a good one
now i'm with a Laser RCW, but i'm already level 100 energy weapon
>>375652409
let's see what I got
>>375655405
Moded Laser rifle is your best bet. Ir Pew Pew if you get enough Star bottle caps.
>>375655290
>mfw I gave it Veronica
I fast traveled to Fiend territory
Before I could draw my weapon, Veronica drew hers and fired five shots, missed none and killed all the fiends around us
It was some fucking John Wick shit right there
>>375655405
The Holorifle
Best damage per MFC, durable as fuck and stylish as fuck
The only things it can't kill in one full mag, are legendary fuckers
>>375654841
...
>people calling Old World Blues the best
oh boy, I sure love losing my health as I play and having my companions die easily against the ghost people
it's interesting in terms of story and characters but gameplaywise it's fucking shit
>>375655656
>modded grenade launcher
>good
And before anyone says that Project Nevada is bad, you have the option to disable the things you dislike. Except for the for model change of the laser smg that some like and others dont.
>>375655968
>>375655968
>losing my health
>companions
>>375651497
I can't find NMC Large or Vurf's when I search, could you link/what do I search for?
>>375655298
Just go the top rated mods on Nexus, there are way too many to post a complete list.
>>375656138
>>375656161
>>375652663
I started the New Vegas Bounties recently, enjoyed the first one. Still gotta see if the sequels are any good.
>>375656161
Never thought of it until now
But if you're playing hardcore mode in DM, and of the companions goes down, will they actually die?
Because it would compromise the quests later on if they did
>>375655290
It would if the gun is made out of cheap as fuck plastic and produces a shit ton of heat, because it doesn't discharge heat efficiently, like you'd expect from a heavily modified prototype of a weapon.
>>375652996
Why is he dressed like Eddie Gluskin?
I mean it suits him but still.
>>375655968
shit, I meant Dead Money
>>375655968
>shitposting about games that you have so little knowledge about that you confuse two vastly diffrent DLCs
>>375656572
>stating your opinion is shitposting
this isn't a fucking hugbox
>>375656830
>the opinion is "I'm dying this is too hard this DLC is dumb"
That's not an opinion that's being bad at a videogame
>>375651334
This, I always hated NV until I gave Jsawyer a chance.
Game is still shit compared to other fallouts but it is bearable now.
>>375657128
>dying because of shitty companion AI means it's hard
>>375656830
>being so bad you actually manage to get someone killed in DM
>an opinion
>>375656352
The sequels are way better. Also check out The Inheritance from the same dude.
>>375657450
Thanks for the tips, will do. They sound from the mod description like they get quite a bit more difficult, which I'll take.
