There was a ticking clock in the background like in Fallout 1, the longer you took to resolve whatever was going on in a place the worse things would get. For instance, people flee Hoover Dam the longer the war between them and the BoS goes on, and if you take too long, the NCR governor shoots himself in the head, the stores close down and Alice McLafferty (from the Crimson Caravan) takes over.

That’s actually cool. Question for the thread,has there ever been a mod that changes areas once you’ve wiped a faction out? For example killing the legion at cottonwood cove does absolutely nothing,i was thinking even just set dressing with some crucified or posed legion would be cool. Even just an increase or path change in one sides patrol would be good.

Biggest change I can think of is if you make the NCR occupy Primm, they move into the town in force. Edited to have the correct mod name.

Didn’t van buren also have a thing where the pc was a carrier for the plague so while you’d have to show the scientist enough thriving communities to convince him the world wasn’t worth ending, if you spent too much time trying to fix things you’d infect them?

Frankly I'm not sure that Van Buren would have been a good game (Inserting a ticking clock into your RPG which forces players to spend less time immersed in the world if they want a decent ending is obviously extremely counterproductive) but I do enjoy all the lore that was created for it.

Did they ever fix the thing of TLD putting Tunnelers into the Mojave after you've done Lonesome Road? e: "NEW FILE: No DLC creatures: removes the appearance of Tunnelers and Yao Guais in the Mojave Wasteland." Okay good they did

Is there a mod that makes the game always take the full stack of something when looting? Like if there's Stimpak (3) I want to pick up all 3 in one click. I don't want an auto looter either

that being said, van buren probably would have been bad, just like fallout 2, 3, old world blues, lonesome road, 4, 76, and the fallout tv show.

Still wish the next Big Mod Project for NV was a van buren remake if only so the modders don’t try to write anything and stick to the competent design doc world building There was a van buren themed mod called beyond boulder dome and it was frontier level writing. Painful to go through

Nobody Interesting posted:Did they ever fix the thing of TLD putting Tunnelers into the Mojave after you've done Lonesome Road? Aw man, I'd quite like to have some Yao Guai show up. Def want to ditch the tunnelers though, my "head cannon" is that since you kill their queen and they're scared of you in the ending slides they're going to stay out of your territory

Put some Yuo Guai up in the northwest of the map or in that high mountain pass behind Red Rock Canyon.

Need more Trainwiz mods. New Vegas Railroads is good fun and it would be even better if you could get run over by the train in the wasteland itself rather than just in the tunnel.

Agents are GO! posted:BBD is honestly one of the worst Fallout/Elder Scrolls mods I've ever endured. I do not say this lightly but calling it "Frontier-level writing" is an insult to the Frontier. The Frontier's writing wasn't good, but at least the portion that I played didn't feel like a waste of both my and the developer's time.

2house2fly posted:I'm genuinely not sure if I want to play Beyond Boulder Dome out of morbid curiosity or just save the spot in my load order The biggest problem with Beyond Boulder Dome is that when I say the whole thing is a waste of time, I mean it. A huge part of it is the writing (And especially the ending, for the briefest of spoilers the whole thing pretty much turns out to be a shaggy dog story), but even if you can get past that map and quest design is atrocious - there's a huge, wide-open spaces that take forever to traverse, maze-like winding dungeons that also take forever to traverse, and an obnoxious amount of backtracking through said areas. It's bad enough that after twelve years I still have a grudge against it.

I barely remember it but I think Boulder Dome was more boring and tedious than having anything offensively stupid the way Frontier or NC do.

Painful to go through I'll always remember only two things about Beyond Boulder Dome. One was the reveal that the supercomputer you were talking to was actually a depressed superintelligent monkey. The other was that the ending fight was so badly balanced as to be impossible unless you cheesed it by placing a shitton of mines just before it actually triggered.
