No, and fuck your pretentious boring walking simulator.

>playing any Fallout after 2

Nah, fuck off.

Ew no, fuck off. It's mediocre and played it back then when it was released, you could even tell back then how inferior to 3 it was in every single aséct that matters in a videogame, Obshitian are amateurs at crafting anything on first person perspective,

ebin

Man the game doesn't register my mouse anymore

Reminder that Caesar did nothing wrong.

Every couple of years. I wish they had spent more time on it and been given a bigger budget by Bethesda, it's solid framework and the right direction for the series, but it needed another year or two in the oven.

DLC is all fantastic though since it's self contained.

>>remember that I've already talked to everyone interesting and the main quest
well the appeal is that you do different things to them instead of what you did in the previous time you played

I just want to do the DLC, but I can't start it at only level 4. I've been through this song and dance far too many times.

you should've tried going through the Quarry Junction and ignore the U-road to reach New Vegas

Ur gif us cute
CUTE

>>btw my theory is a pipe dream at best and will immediately collapse upon my death
because he had no way of curing the tumour until you do it for him, afterwards the Legion will carry on normally when he conquers Vegas and establishes a proper successor

I'm sick of "open world RPG" games. They're all the same shit. Wide as an ocean, shallow as a puddle. Boring, nothing to do, NPCs are cardboard cut-outs, etc.

...

Fuck off, I just got done with Daniel's a Cuck, and here's why the DLC

Did you remember to spare the White Legs?

>tfw no RETURN TO SENDA or any other Elvis Presley songs

The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math.
I honestly just wanted to up and leave at that point. It's 3 am, and I'm very tired. I'll probably reload the save I made just before the convo and forgo the speech check

not even really a sinatra song
his version was after billy holiday, sam cooke, dean martin, and elvis.
Vegas was formed around the rat pack and prima, the fact that the vegas style songs don't feature them more predominately either reflects budgetary restraints or pure ignorance
I mean, tell me you wouldn't have liked to hear this walking between goodsprings and primm on first playthrough?
youtube.com/watch?v=_euPk7PXOJU

>>tfw no RETURN TO SENDA or any other Elvis Presley songs

>tfw will never get any of the good elvis songs because bethesdas so cheap

I barely used the radio because I preffered to experience the atmosphere of the wasteland but sure, more is good.

I remember reading that they planned to have an Elvis song in the game for a Vegas wedding with Cass while the King was singing it but it was scrapped because they couldn't afford to it. What a shame

>Fallout 2
>Not 1

tbqh i thought the atmospheric music in NV was the worst aside from 3. Even 4 managed to improve on it
and how much was cut from nv over the budget will be a damn shame forever

but muh ebin villain playthrough !!!!11111

done. about to play legion, any mods that make it more extensive?

NV music actually sounds like a wasteland, F3 was orchestral Hans Zimmer Dark Knight shit.

thats what i said
nv ambient music was better than 3, but honeslty the 4 ost (especially during enemy encounters) blew it the fuck out of the water on numerous levels. About the only thing fo4 did right

I have been.

I finished all the DLC and Attacking the dam is pretty much all I have main quest-wise.

What are some hard to find things in NV? Like sidequests, zones, unique shit.
I've played through the game like 4 times now.

Do different shit then I guess?
Genocide Goodsprings
Kill the Deputy
Befriend the Gangers
etc


>Lesbian gang members and mantises
u wot?

stop shitposting faggot
I know it was you that made the anti japanese video game thread

Stop playing New Vegas and go home

>muh weebshit
unironically kill yourself

legion ryses or caesar's new regime

There's a mod that skips the first part of the game. Use it.

You don't need a mod to avoid helping Sunny and just start your adventure. And avoiding Deathclaws and making your way to the Strip at level 1 is only interesting the first time. Now you're in an area loaded with groups of fiends and giant geckos while you have starting gear. What's the point?

The game very clearly steers you towards a certain direction.

last time i played this was ~2014 and i modded the shit out of it with project nevada, textures, weather, items, etc. has there been any really significant new mods since then besides dust?

just use the stealth boy in the school to sneak past the death claws between hidden valley and robco, steal morales armorr and go straight to NV in the first 25 minutes of gameplay

get the Secret Stash radio mod

>Now you're in an area loaded with groups of fiends and giant geckos while you have starting gear. What's the point?
So what you're complaint is it's too hard? Nut up. Or cheat in better gear. Or use a guide to easily get good gear. You have so many options at your disposal. If you can't spend the 20-30 minutes it takes to set up the game then your clearly not invested enough to play the game. Which is fine. But for fucks sake can you stop complaining about the beginning? It's such a small hurdle but almost every thread I gotta hear about how somebody can't handle it. It's old.

Solar powered ammo

If you mean the orbital laser signaling gun and Helios I know it.

I just need a new FO game done by Obsidian

>caeser's new regime
its adds female legionnaire

nah

>female legionnaire
What?

Where?

and the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air
gave proof through the night that caesar got his shit kicked in

>Nut up.
If you're using JSawyer and playing on Very Hard like you're supposed to, it doesn't matter if you "nut up", you're doing shit for damage against too many different targets. Unless you cheese the fuck out of the AI, you're going to lose. Like you should. There should absolutely be instances in games where you cannot win. Going to a high level area as a low level is one of those instances.

And it's not "can't handle" it, it's tired of handling it. The set up for the game isn't 25 minutes, it's hours. Unless you're using the baby vanilla XP values, you're going to be level 4 around your 5th hour of play. Primm is set up. NCRCF is set up. Nipton is set up. Novac is set up. RobCo is set up. All the open fields of mutated animals is set up.

I just did about a week ago. Here's my thoughts so far.

The Good
1. Some of the factions are pretty interesting
2. Weapon mods
3. The DT system
4. Skill checks actually being useful

The Bad
1. The game feels empty as shit. The biggest offenders are the casinos on the strip, of the 6 or so tables only one or two will be populated. The ambient sounds they play only serve to make the place feel more weird and empty.
2. The amount of walking to get around some locations is too much. Doing the quest to get This Machine in camp McCarran made me want to commit suicide.
3. You can't put weapon mods on unique weapons by default, making modded regular weapons arguably superior in some cases.
4. The amount of content split between the separate factions is pretty strange. The legion has nearly no content despite being the second biggest faction in the mojave. House has pretty much no quests besides the "get this faction on my side or kill them" quests. The fucking Boomers feel more fleshed out than most other factions.
5. Despite using a couple bug fixing mods the game is still buggy as hell. If the thorn would stop bugging out every fight that would be great.
6. Cazadores. Why?

Overall I would say it's overrated but I'm enjoying it a fair bit. I'm about to start the DLC which I heard is pretty great.

the non-fag set of enclave armor on the extreme eastern side of the map surrounded by seriously 20-25 legendary/mixed deathclaws

>The legion has nearly no content despite being the second biggest faction in the mojave.
Time constraints
>Obsidian are lazy
>Bethesda are cunts for not letting them release the game later so they can add more stuff
Take your pick

>JSawyer and playing on Very Hard
Ah I see you've decided to punch yourself in the dick and then complain about it. Interesting. If the start is so tedious and boring then disable them for the start of the game and breeze though it.

>Unless you're using the baby vanilla XP values,
Again you've made the game tedious all by yourself.

Fuck you Ceasar, i'm a loyal NCR citizen, I actually snuck into your camp after accidentally running into it and I already killed you and everybody there. Fuck you, you cunt prick and dick.

Also fuck the brotherhood, they are awful.
And the Followers can suck dick too.
And Mr.House for independent new vegas can go die in hell.

Join the NCR.

>Again you've made the game tedious all by yourself.
Not him, but I always played with %60 EXP when using any combination of Sawyers, PN or CCO. With the amount of added content it just meant I hit around Max level just as I was finishing the game.

...

>Find a hunting rifle early on
>slowly(VERY SLOWLY) clear quarry junction and the road to new vegas
>die like 40 times to the deathclaws but finally kill them all
It was my first playthrought, I just wanted to explore Sloan and thought "deathclaws are eeezzz" I had to pussy in rocks to kill them BUT THEY JUMP.

I guess modding your exp gain isn't that crazy but taking 5 hours to hit level 4 is bonkers. I would be miserable too if I were him.

>1# goy

I can't play F3 and NV anymore because Power Armor in F4 is so much better.

The NCR are not jews, are they?
I just think having a government is better than being independent or savages.

Fallout 1 and 2 are a chore to play. So much clicking.

I pretty much never used the power armor in 4.

I'm currently replaying 3 and having a lot of fun. Couldn't get back into NV though.

It's the rpg aspects and superb story telling that are those games' strong points. New Vegas was a chore to play as well, especially if you already played the hell out of 3 by the time it released.

>but I can't start it at only level 4

Wrong. You won't pass the speech checks for shit, but you can do them the and enemies will be mostly level scaled.

If you are on PC, then you can literally just use commands to make yourself any level you want and start the DLCs from there.

I took the time to talk to Daniel on my last run and he does give understandable reasons for his stance.

>He was there when New Cannan was destroyed.
>He knows the horrors of being on the reciving end of a raid
>He had to listen to his crippled bishop that he couldn't save burn to death
>Zion is not a fixed place, its where you call home

Understandu, des-u.

West Side. The sewers I did 3 playthoughs without knowing they existed.

The deathclaws also respawn randomly, so you can think you've killed them all and then suddenly there's 10 more.

Frontier. The mods by Someguy200.

I've got a combined total of like 200 hours played in NV. Never actually finished the main quest. I'm getting a bit bored with NV now, so I think I'll pirate FO3 soon and see what that's like. I'll make sure to use a bunch of performance enhancing mods right from the get go.

Please, let us continue this.

I just stopped though.

Also anyone know any good energy weapon mods, not obvious overhauls like Eve, but stuff that adds new weapons, I have a bunch of Ballistic operator shit, now I want some new pew pews. Would ask in /fog/ but /vg/ won't load for me right now.

no man, I don't do this anymore, I'm clean now!

but it sucks?

Here.

Same. I want to feel like some super smart dude who uses weapons that are superior to guns. Energy weapons in NV are nice, but I want more.

Yeah the ones that are there are good don't get me wrong, I just wish there were more people making them, shit there's plenty of neat ballistic weapon mods, but shit for dick in terms of energy weapons. I guess Ballistic at least you have real life influence/porting you can do with it but still.

I start to lose interest in the game as soon as I get to Primm. Where do I go from Primm so I don't get bored as fuck?

>Doing the quest to get This Machine in camp McCarran

You know you can just hack that guy's computer and then rat him out to the woman that you interrogate the legion commander with, right? She gives you This Machine straight away and all you lose is the money you would get from doing the quest the long way.

>Cazadores. Why?

Because they're funny. Last playthrough, I got given the NCR radio after fast traveling to the Wind Farm (full of cazadors). The ranger who gave it to me was stung 3 times before reaching me and dropped dead right after handing me the radio.

Just downloaded the game. What am I in for?

Nipton.

SPURS THAT JINGLE JANGLE

You're in for some basic mods to start you off. Install FOMM and get the YUP bugfix patch and the Improved Performance V5 mod. That's it for a vanilla playthrough.

If you're in the mood for some super modding, there's more you can do to make your game even more stable. Use the 4gb updater. Then install NVSE and then install the NV anti crash and stutter remover plugins. This will make your game run smooth even if it was stuttering and shitty at first.

I thought about making a Legion aligned Courier, but decided against it because I didn't want to play a homo running around in football pads

What I want is some novelty type guns with special functions. Like, an energy weapon that ignores shitloads of DT.

I would rather have legion clothes that let me keep cool than wear those uncomfortably hot NCR robes anyday.

You don't have to wear faction armor at all, by the way. Vulpes visits you in a suit on the strip.

Played it too many times.
Done every quest, all dlc, every piece of gear acquired.

Even installed TTW but same thing with Fo3, played it too many times.

Really fucks your mind and soul up seeing as nothing changes the 100th time over.

"Hurrrrrrrr smoothskin moriarty needssss ya to suck his cack befor he givs ya da location of ya dadde"

"Drumpf get on dis fackin train ta new vega"

"Trunpf welcam ta new vega ya head sore go find guy and do other shiet"

"Ah ya finished da mayne kest, game ova, lose all ya shit"

No

>NCR robes
What?

Did you miss the 1000 times when they complained about the mojave heat? They're sweating their nuts off because the NCR uniform looks like it was made for invading Antarctica.

Yeah, they're wearing a type of combat armor but they're not robes.
