Whaat? The mod really includes poo poo like that? :psyduck:

Turns out the 'tasteful fade to black cutscene' only happens after she strips naked and dances at you. I discovered this in the middle of a mission to take her shopping in goodsprings general store where a conversation where she asks for spending money turned into a dramatic declaration of love, and the 'get naked and party' script fired at the same time as the 'go talk to the shopkeeper and buy items' script fired.

I'm tempted to install that Willow mod now just to see What the gently caress, but I'm not sure that I want something like that in my game even out of morbid curiosity. Pretty much everything that's wrong with the gaming community can be summed up in that description.

Hey, there's lots more stuff you could do if you wanted to go nuts with it.

-Assassin's Creed style hidden blades (give them a big damage boost on sneak criticals!)
-Some kind of electrified brass-knuckles. Deals extra damage to robots.
-Flaming boxing gloves. They ignite people when you hit them.
-Rocket propelled gauntlets. Attacking with them sends you flying forward like sprinting in Project Nevada. They deal maximal damage if you've left enough room between you and your target to accelerate (a few meters or so).

I can see how unarmed options are generally going to be more limited than other weapons though. It really depends more on your skill and stats than weapons. I think unarmed just kind of sucks in FO3/NV because it's so oversimplified. You can't even sub-target limbs in VATS, let alone do stuff that would make unarmed skill more useful, like martial arts holds/throws, disarming opponents, etc. All you can do is punch people over and over.

I'd really like to see a unique ballistic fist that is actually a captive bolt gun wielded onto a steel gauntlet. That would cause catastrophic damage if used on a person. You could call it the Chigurh.

Now I'm not sure if I want to uninstall the mod or not- one hand hand, there's stuff like the above. On the other, I get to bring stuff into the DLCs. When does it fire? Because I got her approval up to 100 (thought I'd be able to make her wear armour, didn't work); please tell me that's not enough.

Has there ever been any talk about a mod adding Craps to the casinos? Searching the Nexus found nothing. Craps is by far my favorite casino game, and I doubt I'm the only video gamer nerd who feels that way. There are tables in the Lucky 38, so I think they were planning to include it and ran out of time. It's significantly more complex than the other games, but it seems like it would be possible.

I thought there was talk of the New Vegas Restoration mod introducing it? I definitely remember seeing it somewhere.

Also, seems like a pretty cool smaller house mod on the Beth forums with some neat features.

Just don't hit on her and you'll be fine.

To get her to change what she's wearing you also need to do something for her. Get her a dog, teach her to box, or (I think) give her a home.

The disruptive powers of excessive national fecundity may have played a greater part in bursting the bonds of convention than either the power of ideas or the errors of autocracy.
So I've gotten a bug where the You'll Blind Somebody challenge is stuck at 4096/4096. So everytime I hit something in the head with an energy weapon, I get the exp reward. Given the bullet sponging going on in OWB, this is kinda broken.

So I got the challenge's FormID from GECK, but I can't find a scripting or console function to update or reset challenge counts... Is there such a function or am I stuck getting wads of exp for no reason?

I just started modding my NV install and everything is working perfectly EXCEPT that my compass has disappeared.

Check your immersive HUD/adjustable HUD settings. Also, you might what to get the Unified HUD project. Make sure you have iHUD and aHUD fully updated, though.

I think what's happening is your iHUD setting has it so that the compass disappears, when it's 'not' needed, based on whatever setting you have it to. If you don't already have it, the mod configuration menu is really helpful, especially as it is required for iHUD and aHUD.

I'm totally new to the Fallout modding scene (played FO3 on the 360) and was hoping for some pointers. I'm looking for just a couple of mods that would a) give a wide range of hair (and other facial) options b) make the game look more pretty in terms of lighting and skies c) add extra cosmetic or functional armor and weapons (bonus points if they're scattered around the game world to merchants and locations - not just dumped into your inventory from the get-go). Nevada Skies is probably fits the bill for b, am I right? Also, all the mods should be really stable ones since I'm going to play the game for the first time now, and the idea of sudden crashes and nasty bugs doesn't sound fun at all. Speaking of which, would you guys recommend installing Project Nevada in its current state or just going vanilla with the extra cosmetic stuff?

I recommend installing it, since it makes the game much more enjoyable by adding functions like sprint and bullet time. However, I would say that you should only install the Core + Equipment modules.

Edit: VVVVVV Yes, it is! Thank you!

Yeah, rebalance makes food/drink not heal, and core makes sleeping only heal if you're in an owned/rented bed. That's way too dependent on Stimpacks IMO, especially in Hardcore where they're heal over time.

It was a bit too limiting for me, so I turned food healing back on. Though thanks to reduced loot rates I was usually just scraping by. Until I opened a first aid kit in HH and found 30 stimpacks in it, anyway.

Yeah it is. I love that PN is (easily) configurable, not the "MY VISION OF THE WASTELAND OR THE GECK HIGHWAY :byodood:" bullshit that a lot of mods have.

I also have to recommend turning on health scaling. Facing Brush Guns and such when you have the same health you did at level 1 gets old.

Personally I've stopped using Rebalance and I'm using Imp's more complex needs instead. It seems overcomplicated but it really isn't - the only stats you actually need to pay attention to are the same as hardcore mode (food, water, sleep - even uses the hardcore meters to display them). All the extra stuff is there to give you bonuses or penalties based on your habits - it's more a reflection of your play style rather than something you need to obsessively watch.

It changes stimpaks to both work as heal over time and you build up a tolerance if you over-use them, but it also gives you health regen over time naturally if your needs are met. It's a nice balance there because it's too slow to help you in combat, but it means you don't need to use stimpaks out of combat if you're wandering around a safe area. They maintain their function as emergency healing while also taking healing off of food and having it function as, you know, food.

One thing that does bug me is that PN: Rebalance does a lot of other things unrelated to needs that I do like, but that don't work with MCN. I've managed to extract the headshot script (the one that ignores DT if it's a headshot on a target with no helmet - I'm playing a stealth character and it was pissing me off that I couldn't kill Powder gangers in guard armour with a silenced .22 headshot from a sneak attack 5 meters away, even though they had nothing on their head!) into its own mod, but I don't really have the patience to go and pull out EVERYTHING I like.

Speaking of tweaking, I discovered that WME and the Armory's vanilla weapon tweak option don't seem to merge automatically in FNVEdit when you create a merge patch. I've made an esp that addresses that if anyone else is like me and uses these two mods together (Note: if someone wants to host the file somewhere better than megaupload feel free).

By the way, because you've said several times that you're receptive to giving more weapons mods: have you considered letting more weapons have sights? It'd be nice to give weapons some flavor and you could even do it for those that have scopes by default :)

Related to weapon mods: Is it an engine limitation that weapons can only take 3 mods, max? Something that strikes me as interesting would be a game mod that would make weapons able to take more mods, but have some of them be mutually exclusive based on where on the gun they actually attach (so you can't put both a silence and a barrel extension on the same gun, for instance). Even better would be if you could swap mods out after you've placed them, for more modularity in a gun (add a scope for sniping, switch to a red dot for CQC, etc).

You'd need a script to accomplish all that. There's one mod that DOES do something like you describe, but it's made by the niffucker so I won't ever recommend it.

You bastard, I read your first paragraph and rushed over to their page to try to find the new version instead of reading your whole post first.

I do use New Vegas Restoration and it (mostly) works great. Just make sure to hold off on activating it until after you get into the strip and the lucky 38 the first time. I guess they changed the cells or something since a few quests don't fire properly unless you've visited the 'original' strip. I just wish they added more NPC's, with the interior gates down it feels much more open and it makes the population seem smaller.
