What made it good?

>>376044701
Not being ruined by Bethesda's writers.

>>376044701
its a roleplaying game that lets you roleplay and it has fun characters. it really isnt that good of a game, it's like a solid 7.5/10, but the bar for modern RPGs has been set so unbelievably low that compared to its competition its a 12/10

Advice for my first build?

Why are New Vegas threads on /v/ so comfy?

>>376044701
It's one of the few RPGs that says that your choices matter and actually means it.

>>376045238
>Story is almost nonexistent

We're talking about New Vegas, not 4.

>>376045215

>>376045087
High INT and High LCK will give you money and maximum skill points. (Also take comprehension so skill books give more than one point.)

>>376044701
Nothing, it's complete casual shit for children and retards who can't play real RPG's.

>>376045087

What >>376045673 said, focus on Guns/Speech/Lockpick and try to side with the NCR. Later playthroughs are best done siding with the other factions (Yes Man/House/Legion), but for a first-time playthrough the NCR is easiest.

>>376045559

It wasn't. And neither was Fallout 3, actually, or even Skyrim. The only insta-hated Beth game was Fallout 4. Welcome to post-Tortanic /v/, I suppose.

>>376044701
I think the setting of the game is cool as hell. It's like a cowboy revenge story in the middle of a gangster drama in the middle of a full scale war over power.

The DLCs are pretty cool too. I loved DM and its almost survival horror setting in an ancient casino while its also a heist-style gangster movie.

I wish there were more options to bribe people if you'd had a high enough barter. Especially if you failed a speech check and could just throw money at the problem to pass it another way.

>>376048207
Defend what? He has a point. NCR trying to be like Pre-War America where everyone wants to have nice things and live in luxury is why they're expanding so hard. They don't have the resources in California to sustain that sort of lifestyle for all their citizens. If everyone focused on making society as a whole better rather than their own lives, they'd be better off.

Of course, forcing them into it with slavery and brutality isn't really the way to go about it

>>376044701
Does anybody find the game comfy but you can't put a finger on what exactly is the reason? I mean gamebryo is a dogshit engine but something about the visuals makes the game comfy.

>>376049352
True, I guess they would have to have some people who can't be convinced with money since getting fat stacks is pretty easy in the game.

Also, why hasn't TES used the buying and selling system from Fallout? I like putting stuff in for barter and seeing how much net gain of caps I'll get after I buy things.

The world has a very lived in feeling. You can see yourself actually living there, it's not just a theme park for the player to explore and look at WACKY STUFF and shoot EVIL RAIDERS, obviously there's some wacky shit going on, it's Fallout, but at its core it's a bunch of communities living harsh, but simple lives.

>>376049996
Well yeah of course some speech checks would have to be impossible to circumvent with another type of check.

>>376049765
Except legion want the same thing. too much expansion and eventually they wouldn't be able to sustain themselves. add the fact that after Caesar dies it pretty much over for the legion.

NCR aren't perfect but they are closest to a democracy which means they'll keep getting leaders with different ideas that can eventually do good, and if they dont and they fuck up they'll vote you out and get someone else.

>>376048582
All civilizations die.

>>376047502
Why would you want TTW? It's just Fallout 3, and that game sucked.

>>376050705
I liked it
also why not, you get two games in one

I wondered House makes most of his money from NCR but if he wins he kicks them all out so how does he expect to keep making money?

>>376047502
>>376050814
Take into count that using TTW can break a lot of mods for either game.
I don't really think it's worth it, honestly.

>>376050638
The Legion expands because somewhere along the line Caesar became obsessed with "fixing" NCR and is using his army to do it. His plan is to conquer NCR and then stop. No more conquests and pushing borders eating up tribes. Sit down and play Roman Republic with Vegas as his capital, parked between California and Arizona.

If he had handled it in a different way by setting up a proper ideological heir, changed gears when the Legion started to grow too large to properly function as a purely military force, he could have stopped at the Colorado river and left behind something that worked.

>>376050903
iirc once they're kicked out he starts selling them the dam's electricity for an exorbitant price

>>376050147
What did they do?

>>376050903
The casinos probably? Not sure.

>>376050903
So long as NCR military personnel comply with this order to withdraw, electricity and water will continue to flow from Hoover Dam to the NCR.
a) Electricity: 5 caps per kilowatt hour.
b) Water: 5 caps per gallon
The NCR Council's Office of Budget will receive invoices bi-weekly. Prices are subject to change without notice.

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Order_of_Withdrawal

By selling them what they tried to take by force

>>376050903
He kicks them out, but still plans on having good enough relations with them that NCR citizens would still go to New Vegas to gamble, and that he could sell the NCR government water and electricity from the Hoover Dam at a higher price than before.

>>376048665

don't get me wrong, I don't mind playing "less action and more roleplay" games, but this one feels really bland for me
I know it's a wasteland, but in the few places that you can talk to someone, the dialogue is usually short and feels dumb
I haven't played FO4, I'm not comparing it to any game
also the voiceacting sounds superretarded in my language and everyone has the same fucking voice, I'm trying to find how to change it to english

I like a few places like goodsprings, novac, and some other places but I don't know my man
I haven't modded the game, and I plan on trying some "fun" build once I finish my current playthrough and maybe adding some mods to spicy it up a little

Is TTW worth a run through after a normal playthrough of just NV?

If you never played Fallout 3, then sure. The story is still the same retarded water purifier shit, but at least the gameplay updates of NV make it slightly more tolerable.

I'll agree with you on this one, this applies to a lot of people here.

But myself and some other people actually liked the game without that being a factor

I like how the faction cut off point is much earlier than FO4, you can't just join them all and then betray them late.

>>376054529

I tried once to play the field, and assuming you balance out the quests properly, you can make to near the final battle for Hoover Dam before being forced to choose a side. Granted, it takes a serious amount of autism to go through with that, but it is an option.

>>376055802
I thought for sure she was a companion when I started the game, it's sad she was only a tutorial character and nothing more

>>376055457

Oh yeah, you can't finish the game entirely neutral and the process of doing so more or less precludes most companions, but it's entirely possible to do missions for both sides until near the end, at which point the game says "right then, who's side are you going to take in this battle?"

>>376055840

If it's the console version, you're probably SOL unless you can clean the disc. If on PC, just install the 4gb RAM patch and NVAC.

NV is not nearly as good as people say, It has too many annoying flaws and the story is so "on rails" compared to all other games.

Also, another thing that really makes me mad is the dialog options
>LUL I NEED 60 SPEECH TO BE CONVINCED
>b-b-but I only have 59
>SUCKS TO BE YOU

meanwhile in ALL other games you still had some chance to pass skill checks even if you didn't met certain criteria. (sure this "fixes" save scumming, but scumming is part of computer RPGs since ever)

>>376056016
>>LUL I NEED 60 SPEECH TO BE CONVINCED

being an rpg with guns

beyond that, it's not good and none of the fallout games are good.

>>376056932
I don't see what's so fun about saving and reloading during dialog so you can win a speech check, that's what happens in fo4

>>376056959
4 has marginally better gunplay combat (because its a shooter at heart) and superior graphics but New Vegas has better everything else as well as lots and lots of mods.

>>376057060
so why you can use weapons without meeting the weapon and strength checks? Why do I need to make the stupid lockpick and hacking minigames if I have the necessary skill?

you are just moving the goal posts to defend a retard game design choice. One that never existed in previous game to begin with

>>376056932
if you walk up to someone IRL and say X in Y way, and they say no

and then somehow were able to go back 5 minutes and walked up to the person and said exactly X in exactly Y way, they arent going to magically change their mind

dialogue changes in FNV with the correct speech requirement

>>376057228
There's more EW variety as well.

>>376057360
>so why you can use weapons without meeting the weapon and strength checks?
Because weapon calculations are more complex than a simple Yes/No speech check, in particular your accuracy suffers a lot if you use a minigun with 1 Strength.
>Why do I need to make the stupid lockpick and hacking minigames if I have the necessary skill?
Fallout 3 legacy.
>you are just moving the goal posts
That's precisely what you're doing with posts about unrelated to Speech skills, though.

>>376057360
Any bozo can pull a trigger, but you need to have the right know how and skill to use the gun properly.

>>376057570
the fact that you can kill every single npc that interacts with you makes it, it's rage inducing in fallout 4 that everyone is immortal because bethesda couldn't think of workarounds if you killed key characters

Yes Man is a program so he's not really essential in a way that there's an explanation for his persistence.

Lanius/Oliver are set to essential in the end if you're with Legion/NCR because otherwise you'd be able to screw yourself out of an ending.

>>376058446
Lanius and Oliver are essential as a safety feature, you get teleported straight to them, have your control taken away and then forced into conversation with them before being teleported out as soon as it closes

>>376058186
what is better about the writing?

>>376057915
New Vegas is by far better than those games. Like some anons said, shooting and graphics are better in Fallout 4.

I'd also say exploration is better in Fallout 3 and 4, because they have more interesting places and ruined cities are more interesting than a desert. That's the only thing that bethesda does right, world building.

But like I said, new vegas is a vastly superior game regardless, and exploration is still pretty good in some aspects and key locations (like vaults)

If you do whatever House wants you to do at The Fort, does the Legion instantly hate you? I've been working for them, House and the NCR but I'm going House in the end. I don't want to sever our ties just yet.

>>376058664
>That's the only thing that bethesda does right, world building.

i would disagree

the decision to set FNV in a desert and really push the whole desert this really did screw it, but the places that there were was fantastic.

the places in FNV all seem to feel right, and have a connection, there just wasnt enough.

3 and 4 feel so disconnected and feel like "hey X would be cool to explore, put that around here"

and ofcourse, the classic issue of What Do They Eat for 3

New Vegas on its own is pretty bog standard, but all of the insane fourth-wall breaking meta narrative with the Easy Pete quest elevated the game to an 11/10 and garnered it a massive cult following years after it came out, despite its scathing reviews for being an FO3 expansion on launch.

>>376058936

no

the point of no return for the house questline where the legion get pissed and start aggroing is the omertas quest (or the khan quest in the NCR questline)

you won't be able to do much for the legion questline though, after you go in the bunker the first thing they want you to do is kill House

>>376059393

It's not that fo4 is a bad game overall but it's a bad RPG. Your character shouldn't be so pre-defined that they have a wife and kids and everything. It's hard to be a psycho wierdo character when your past is so set in stone and a holotape says you were a kind loving mr. nice guy before the war

>>376057248

t. fantasy rpg fan.

Don't you have princesses to save from evil wizards, fag? LOL

I've installed this game multiple times but I can never get into it. Always get turned off when it wants you to travel from one corner of the map, to talk to someone, do a favor for them thats on the other corner of the map, turn the quest in, then go back to the other corner of the map to do another favor and so on

Why would I play this when I can just go outside and go fishing.

>>376059943
just keep following the map while exploring, grabbing quests and doing those close to you, don't go out of your way to complete a quest that's far away, just keep the pace and complete the quest when you actually get there later in the game

>>376062761
Honest Hearts makes the most sense. it's self contained and not too hard. it's tedious sometimes but good story and characters make up for it.

Old World Blues should be the second or third one you do. It's good for early, mid or late game, has tons of neat goodies and great story. Also it's the only DLC where you can return to its world anytime you want.

Save Dead Money for later (lvl 20-30) because it's really hard and has so many skill checks. It's a good challenge once you have a tough Courier who has already seen some shit.

Lonesome Road is for after you finished the main storyline, it's supposed be an epilogue.

Absolutely fucking fantastic video.

It was so good because you can feel that Josh Sawyer and the people involved in the project deeply care for Fallout. When you work on something you love and it makes you happy, there's no way it's gonna be shit.

Having writers, and that's not just a jab against Bethesda.

individualism is the one thing keeping all civilization from dying

>>376070136
the writers were shit (as you can see by their work on horizon zero dawn and pillars of eternity), what made them good was the man leading them and keeping them on track.

>>376044701
the writing.

Wasn't the lead writer on New Vegas the lead writer on Horizon? I'm not sure you can claim that leadership was the key to New Vegas' writing.

> John Gonzalez, lead writer for Horizon: Zero Dawn talked to Kotaku about his time crafting the game as the lead writer. He said that it was "hands down the biggest challenge" of his career.
>Reflecting on his time as a writer for Fallout: New Vegas, Gonzales said, "[Writing] Fallout: New Vegas was no walk in the park, but the themes and tone of the universe had already been well-established in previous installments, and the world could be explained in a single sentence: the Bomb dropped, this is what’s left. Plus it didn’t hurt that I was working with Chris Avellone and Josh Sawyer, stellar talents whose knowledge of the Fallout universe was unmatched.”
>When Gonzalez joined up, the team knew the setting they wanted. "Female protagonist fighting machines on a lush Earth far in the future."

I have no idea if Horizon has bad writing or what but he wrote the Survivalist and that's all that matters

To make communism work you need two things, both difficult as fuck to get: educated, virtuous people, and Universal Constructor (as in - an advanced, efficient nano-assembly 3D printer).

Thats why capitalism is necessary to get to tech level that gives UC, and then socialism to get good-natured, virtuous, educated people.

John Gonzalez was the lead on New Vegas and Horizon, and he was helped (on NV) by Avellone, Sawyer (mostly directed by Sawyer) and had Eric Fenstermaker as a co-writer. Sawyer, Avellone and Eric also wrote some companions.

Avellone was the lead writer and designer on all DLCs except for Honest Hearts, which was designed and written by Sawyer.

Fuck it, I tried everything under the sun, mods and "fixes" did nothing, it looks great but I hear once you do get it running for more than 5 minutes it's just a buggy mess that ends up crashing anyways, in every gameplay video I watched people quick saved every 2 seconds because of how much it crashed.

you do realise that implementing theory into practice can be completely fucked-up if the implementation is not done correctly, or is done by corrupt individuals and thus perverted?
