Love me some Dead Money for just pure weird and handicapped gameplay....but...Old World Blues makes New Vegas a frickin' 10. Best DLC I personally ever played. Hell, it's better and has more content than 95% of the supposed AAA games out there. And yeah, it's also pure sci-fi weird...so it has that going for it. For me, OWB and Lonesome Road just make the whole damn game.

@Reaper, play the DLCs. They are essential, and one of the major attractions of FONV. You will be glad you did.

Yeah WRP is pretty good, and so is EVE. However if you use FOOK and/or WMX there might be some issues with WRP's retextures. There's a mod that isn't exactly about visuals but includes a little of everything, even cut content, its called New Vegas Enhanced Content, its sort of a mod compilation with a lot of other things included, even things that hinder crashing and other problems with FNV.

Yep. Already looked at EVE and put it in the queue. I have WMX on already and DO NOT want that messed with. So if there's even a possibility of incompatibility with WRP, I'll pass on that one. WMX is probably my favorite mod.

I use WMX and WRP together, no problems. Just make sure you get the compatibility patch. WME also has one, if you're interested in checking that out.

Yeah, usually if you just use WMX and WRP there's no issues, besides if there is any is just some texture that looks crooked, it won't cause CTD. Although, I am having some problems with the Riot Shotgun and Marksman Carbine and their respective textures with WRP, I believe WMX is causing thos problems but I think FOOK is also behind it, just a warning though. There shouldn't be any problems between WMX and WRP because there's a compatibility patch. 

As for WME, there's a patch but its not up to date so there will be texture conflicts in that case, WME looks better than WMX but it has been abandoned for a long time so I wouldn't recommend it. 

[Barbarossa2010]

Well, I've got EMCs Texture Pack, Nevada Skies and Wasteland Flora on. No problems whatsoever at this point, and the game is starting to take shape.


Now, I'm not going for lush, and am purposefully backing off of the higher end files, but I am looking for more color and a tad more realism for immersive purposes. I'm starting to get there. NS and WF look good and work really well together.

Now to look at EVE and Project Nevada.

[Barbarossa2010]

Well this sucks. I was at the Grab n' Gulp and just as I clicked out of the barter screen, Cass and I got hit by a Legion assassin squad. Not normally a problem, but Lupe and Fitz (who run the Grab n Gulp) ended up charging into the fight (with a knife and a 9mm pistol come to find out) and got whacked almost instantaneously.

Now, I know wandering merchants get caught up in the fighting sometimes, and if they get killed, which they usually do, they respawn. Do merchants trading from set locations respawn? Since these are named characters, are they're just plain dead, and the G n' G is out of business for the rest of the game?

I just don't recall ever seeing this happen before, so was just wondering.

Is that the lush Wasteland Flora or the regular version? I'm thinking of maybe giving the former a whirl if I don't install Winter Wonderland again. Either way it looks good. 

[Barbarossa2010]

That's the regular version. Now that I've walked around it for a while and gotten used to it, I really like it even more. I may put the full version on just to check it out though. The regular version seems to give the wasteland just enough of a face lift without over doing it.

Might as well post this here: Project Brazil, a massive New Vegas mod, is being released on Friday.

Nice, I've been looking forward to that. Anything to add more quality questlines to the game. Hopefully I won't need to deactivate any other plugins to fit it into the load order. 

[Barbarossa2010]

Just read the entire descript and he swears you don't have to deactivate any mod unless it modifies game time.

PB is an amazing effort. This is definitely something to look forward to.

Dear god, I am hyped

[Barbarossa2010]

Anyone download Project Brazil yet? I saw where it was updated at 1:39 AM this morning, but it's not "Hot Filed" yet.  Just figured it would be if final release was done today.
Is this the official 31 May release version?

EDIT: Oh, and the forums are down for maintenance still, so no word there yet.

^ I've downloaded it but it starts me in Doc Mitchell's house no matter what game I choose to load. No idea what's wrong but I'm too tired right now to figure it out, so I'll try agin tomorrow.

[Splinter Cell 108]

What is that Project Brazil mod about? Someone is always saying something about it, anywhere that NV mods are mentioned.

[mickey111]

As much as I enjoy this game and as many hundreds of hours I've put into it, Obsidian really do go overboard with the word count at times... especially Old World Blues with it's hour and a half introduction... it raised Obsidians wall of text tradition to new levels, and I felt like I'd walked into the middle of one of those weekly Giantbomb podcasts... I'm totally okay with that duration of non-interaction during a movie, but I can enjoy about 1/2 an hour of quality dialogue and non-interaction before I slowly get impatient.

Dead Money is the same, at least if you start asking Elijah about everything. I think that is better, honestly, for example in Skyrim there's a lot of times when there should be  a choice in what to say but there isn't and it feels out of character depending on what it is that you are playing.

It's a prequel set in Vault 18, 21 years before New Vegas. Though from the hour I played, the story isn't related to that of New Vegas's. 

[mickey111]

Is it good? Feeling strangely optimistic towards huge, ambitious projects after playing a few very good ones recently. Thief 2s fan expansion, Dooms "brutal" mod, and Half Life 1s Cry of Fear just so happen to be some of the best games I've had the pleasure of stumbling upon. "strange" because mods of project brazils scope are consistently of very poor quality. But on the bright side, at least it's a lot easier to filter out the good than it was before youtube was invented and before blogging became a thing.

^So far yes. Some of the writing isn't what I would expect to find in Fallout, but the voice acting is good and the writing is as well.

[Naughty Bear]

Hey, just wondering how I can play all three factions, take them all out and rule Vegas myself? I don't want it independent, but take House's spot.

Just follow Yes Man?

Modifié par Naughty Bear, 02 juin 2013 - 01:28 .

[legion999]

Follow Yes Man. Eventually you'll fail all three faction quests though.

[mickey111]

Yes Man is basically the only NPC tagged as "essential" (that means he can't die). So you can feel free to be a total psychopath and murder everyone else in vegas.

Well, my Ultimate Edition (360, no PC mods for me sadly) that I ordered for $9.99 off the Microsoft Store just came in. Time to start up another playthrough that will include all the DLC this time.

What I'm looking for from you guys is any particularly good character builds you have. I want to use guns and speech for sure with probably science as my other main skill. But I'm really open to suggestions for attributes, skills, and perks to use. Throw out some recommendations please!

I don’t claim to have any sort of monopoly on the type of build you want, but offer a few considerations.
The primary SPECIAL stats that should concern you are:
 
Charisma
Intelligence
Agility
Luck

So build them up as priorities. You can buy up to 9 points (with high Endurance) in SPECIAL attributes with implants, so don’t forget them as options to supplement your normal leveling up points.

Guns perks you should pay attention to (you won’t be able to get them all with the other recommended perks to build the character you want, as well as taking a few points in intense training, so prioritize according to your own play style). Allotting these is a function of what type of weapons you prefer (shotguns, rifles, pistols), as well as how dependent you are on VATS.  I broke these up into loose groups.

Shotgun Surgeon  (When using shotguns, regardless of ammunition used, you ignore an additional 10 points of a target's Damage Threshold)
And Stay Back (Shotguns have a 10% chance, per pellet, of knocking an enemy back)

Cowboy (+25% damage done by dynamite, hatchets, knives, revolvers, and lever-action guns)
or
Grunt (25% more damage with 9mm pistols and SMGs, .45 pistols and SMGs, service rifles, assault and Marksman carbines, light machine guns, frag grenades, grenade rifles and launchers and combat knives)
Bloody Mess (+5% overall damage; more violent death animations)
 
Critical Chance/VATS:

Better Criticals (+50% damage with critical hits)
Action Boy/Girl (+15 Action Points)
Gunslinger (+25% accuracy in V.A.T.S. with one-handed weapons)
Commando (+25% accuracy in V.A.T.S. with two-handed weapons)
Finesse (+5% Critical Chance)
Sniper (25% more likely to hit the target's head in V.A.T.S.)
Nerves of Steel (20% faster AP regeneration)
Math Wrath (Reduces all AP costs by 10%)
Grim Reaper's Sprint (A kill in V.A.T.S. restores 20 AP immediately)

You have to have some repair ability as a guns character, and definitely need to hand load some of your better ammo, so I throw these two in for serious consideration:


Jury Rigging
Hand Loader

General Perks good for all characters:


Swift Learner
Here and Now
Tag!  (Tag a fourth skill- in your case, maybe Repair(?), since you’re most likely going to tag guns, speech and science up front)
Explorer
Toughness 1
Toughness 2
Strong Back
Long Haul
 

For me, I usually select Explosives as my other Tag skill outside of Guns, Repair and Lockpicking, so many of my alotted points go there; I usually just Speech up as I can.
