Not like you'd be missing something if you didn't, but did you even play Skyrim?

I think he was more referring to how simple the Civil War questline was from a gameplay standpoint. From a lore standpoint, it was fairly interesting, but from a player's perspective, it was go here, hit this, go back, repeat. And you could never lose. The Civil War questline was originally supposed to be longer, you could lose sieges and defenses, and your actions affected the outcome. A lot of what was intended was brought in with the Civil War Overhaul, which pretty much everyone uses despite sometimes resulting in the questline breaking in such a way console commands and further modding don't do much in the way of fixing it.

>go here, hit this, go back, repeat. And you could never lose

So every main and Faction quest in every game ever made on Gamebryo? Yeah, they didn't deliver what was promised, but it's not like it's anything new to Fallout games or any sort of RPGs in general to have every quest be die-and-reload-until-success. go here, hit this, go back, repeat. And you could never lose. If anything, it's surprising when you actually can affect things in negative ways outside of making black-and-white moral choices and choosing which factions to back.

Really, Mount and Blade is the only game I can think of which does it well with your party, sieges, castle defenses etc, and only by making it mechanically impossible for you to actually ever die when killed in battle.

>>866

skyrim took it to the other extreme. instead of one side being good and the other evil, both sides are equally unappealing.

To add to my post:

Your dialogue options suggest you have no clue who the NCR (despite living in New California for years) or Caesar's Legion even are, or basically anything about New Vegas or the surrounding land, despite it being your fucking job as a COURIER to be familiar with the area. How is that not amnesia, then? Is Josh Sawyer just a fucking faggot, that I shouldn't listen to?

I am getting more pissed off the more I think about this.

>tfw think the idea of running the minutemen, essentially your own private army, retaking the wasteland and defending it on your own terms, is an awesome idea.

>Literally every single one of their quests is a radiant quest, they have a grand total of three named characters as part of the faction, and the castle is a piece of shit unless you make it somewhat presentable yourself.

I still sided with them in the end, but I had to do some other faction gameplay to make up for how shit their quests were.

But Stimpacks can be mass produced, since they're not based on finite resources. You can literally make them out of Xander Root, Broc Flowers, and the one missing ingredient which the Legion lacked… knowledge.

Humanity that makes no technological progress, is a species circling the drain - just waiting for it's own extinction. The path of technological progress doesn't guarantee that humanity will survive, far from it - as the Great War proved, but it is the only possible means of escaping their inevitable fate.

And to build… you need resources. Both renewable, and non-renewable. Caesar couldn't have built his empire without resources. The steel which they used to forge their primitive weapons were mined by vast slave armies, and it is a non-renewable resource, unlike the Broc Flowers and Xander they could have been making stimpacks with. Eventually his mines will run out, and he'll have to expand - scavening bits of pre-war metal and taking over new territory - which will put him in conflict with his neighboring warlords. How is that any different, albeit on a slower and smaller scale, than the US and China fighting over Oil? As his nation grows, it will consume more resources. This is inescapable. The only choice is to consume your neighbors and their resources, or to atrophy and either rot internally - or risk being devoured by one of your neighbors who hasn't bothered to check their own consumption.

The Legion is a slow death at best, and blatant hypocrisy at worst.

mods pls delete :^)

At this point they should only be like 4,3 of them, but beth will put them in because why be creative?

>Plasma rifle

Go get the matter modulator from RepConn, you pleb.

>hippies

>saving the world

the "they say they want to save the earth but all they do is smoke weed and smell bad" quote comes in to mind.

If anything, the hipppies would've caused the resource wars sooner by driving their countries into debt even faster than they were already going.

>not the Laser RCW

plasma balls suck, they're slow

you can kill 3 people with an RCW in the time it takes for a plasma shot to connect

I can now see a vault dweller shitposting on a post war /v/

Whats wrong with older NMM? I use 52.1

I know people cant get the older ones anymore, but I'll happily upload it for others if they need it.

>I ripped it from another drive it was installed to so no, it wont have to be "installed" to work case any one was wondering.

FOMM was great back in the day, but I don't dig it so much now. It was only slightly more convent to use then self adding mods.

>Its been forever sense I used FOMM

>>861

FOMM is still the best for both of the newer Fallout games (hence FallOut Mod Manager), as it fucks up the least with where it puts shit and can handle fuckhuge mods well. MO isn't horrible, but for fallout games FOMM is still superior.

>>883

NMM is okay for esp activation and AI toggling, but as for actually installing mods it sucks. The nexus servers are absolute shit and NMM handles inconsistent downloading about as well as a retard handles a chess game, and even on the best of days if the file you're trying to download is larger than a few dozen Mb it'll break it anyways. It also tends to not like activating esps/bsas/whathaveyou that are larger than a few Mb as well, but you'll probably never run into a mod that fuckhuge that isn't split into multiple esps anymore.

Disclaimer: I manually install and patch everything and only use NMM to activate esps, mess with load order, and toggle AI if I'm being lazy. I've never used MO outside of like a month in skyrim, and haven't used FOMM in over a year.

:^)

>>45

Sorry for being a horrible faggot, but does anyone know what mod this is?

>>753

it was a mod on nexus that made you pee green when you took radaway the guy took it down though not sure if anyone still has it the animation was from sexus pee addition plugin it may be gone because of the ban on some sex stuff not sure.

>>20

I don't get the desire to shop the hideous faces from the Fallout series onto real women to see them nude.

>>862

stop spreading misnformation.

if you look at the image you can clearly see it's edited, this is not a mod sadly.

Why do fireflies have to die so soon?

Make a new character in New Vegas.

>>688

>It really screamed "1950's sci-fi, post-apocalyptic wasteland"

>themes

Visually, sure. But visual themes aren't the same as story themes, and when it comes to story themes, 1&2 were pretty weak.

>>683

When it comes to the lack of more factions and the practical worship of the Brotherhood, I agree no question. When it comes to linearity, not so much. FO3 really wasn't that linear, by comparison. Quests are inheriently linear, from FO1 to FNV, from ESArena to Skyrim, quests are essentially: Go find/hit this, get/kill it, come back, get reward.

Unless you're referring to the story not having branching paths, which I can't really disagree with you on.

I would like to see Bethesda do something more New Vegas-esqe with the storyline, but as long as the story itself is good, I won't mind too much.

>>291

to be honest I found all of the NV DLC underwhelming.

I didn't think DM was even near the worst of a lacking bunch though; it's sure as hell better than OWB at least; and I don't think I'd describe my feelings towards it as "hate".

>>854

Can I just ask why? I personally hated the shit out of it, in all aspects, even more so when I think about how good it could have been.

>>291

I loved Dead Money. Interesting story, great atmosphere, and good gameplay made it very enjoyable, for me.

>>301

>>303

Increasing the Level cap means players will have some more things, and perks, to play around with during the time between DLCs. It just expands the content a bit more.

>>314

no sympathy for retards. you're the reason everything has to be idiot-proofed, go swallow some bleach.
