I swear I've read posts in this thread talking about how horrible it is to use the default quicksave.

Is there any problems with adding WMX during a playthrough? Should I just do the wait 4 days thing?

Roobanguy posted:

You'll have to remove any already modded weapons in you're inventory, and you'll probably still have to wait a few days for weapon mods to start showing up in stores.

WMX/Jsawyer are still not compatible, correct?

Anybody know of mods that add good energy weapons? I've been on a kick with the Tri-Beam Laser Rifle and some of the Armory's weapons and realized that some of the stuff in the Armory got changed to bullets (Gauss?) in the newest test patch.

p.s. ENERGY WEAPONSSSSS




Also, a little known fact: Werewolves don't know what plasma is:

I kind of want a S.T.A.L.K.E.R like experience in Fallout, where levels mean nothing, and it's all about trying to survive with the huge scarcity of equipment and what not. What mods should I run to make items more important, and scarce?

I don't think you can have the scarce equipment experience in New Vegas

Puce Moose Tweak and Balance Center has mods to reduce the availability of ammo, etc. Couple it with a mod that makes barter harder - to reduce caps - and you won't be swimming in ammo for a long, long time.

Cirosan's neat CCO changes Barter, for instance. Also throw in the jsawyer mod, because director's cut.

I had to craft .357 almost from the very beginning to be able to do decent damage and never had many caps free with the above. Makes the game far more engaging.

Unfound Loot
Anybody who played FWE hardcore will remember the Unfound Loot option. Unfound loot uses a dynamic system to remove the world items in your game, making food and other supplies even more rare. This sytem is NOT for the feint of heart, items that are removed are gone for GOOD. You will NEVER get them back, even if you disable the feature.

The Unfound Loot system checks each time the player changes cells, and will remove items at that time. The chance for an item to be removed is based on the Player's Luck stat. There is a slight delay during this process, so you might sometimes see items pop out of existence. The delay is necessary, and cannot be removed. If you find this item popping to be immersion breaking, don't use UL.

Unfound Loot will NOT remove quest items, owned items, or special items. It will not remove unique weapons, or items added by mods. Unfound Loot will only run on specified cells, and will not disrupt your custom house. Unfound Loot will also not run in ANY mod added cells without a patch (this is for safety as well as a practicality issue).

There are a few options associated with Unfound Loot:
* Debug Mode - Left in for now, this will apply a shader effect to every item that the UL system would remove or leave alone. Any items not shaded will never be removed by the UL system. Green items will be left, blue items will be removed. A report is also given in the console as to how many of each item type is found, and would be removed.
* Luck Modifier - Controls how much the player's Luck stat affects item removal chance. A Luck Modifier of 0 will give a 0% chance of item removal at 10 Luck.
* Make Safe Cell - By disabling UL and then entering an area, you can use this option to add the area to the safe cell list. UL will not run on that cell, allowing you to make it a home or to set a home safe before using the UL system.
* Reset Cell - Removes a cell from the safe cell list, allowing UL to process it.
* Make Safe Item - Allows you to remove an item from the item removal list. Supply an example of the item, and it will no longer be processed by UL.
* Set Removed Items - Allows you to add more items to the UL removal list, as well as adding mod added items.

The Unfound Loot system will process a cell ONCE. Once a cell has been processed, it will never be processed again (unless you use Reset Cell in it). So any place you've been before with UL active will then be safe to visit at any time without the loss of more items.

I actually thought my game was bugging out when things were disappearing in front of my face like that, but I am running PN Extra Options so that explains it. Something I'm not so sure about though, is Johnnys body isn't there sometimes, and I always run Wild Wasteland. Anyone else experienced this?

It's a shame too, because whereas Fallout and Fallout 2 felt (for me at least) like ammo and guns were scarce and expensive things, Fallout 3 / New Vegas makes it feel like one of those editorial cartoons where everyone has a gun and is pointing it at each other, with full bandoliers full of grenades and poo poo.

The only thing that really prevents me from mix/matching a lot of mods is that I find a lot of mods, even (supposedly) lore-friendly ones stray a little too far from the art design of the game itself. It's one of the reasons why I haven't touched any of the mods that add new weapons, because even if they look decent or have decent modeling a lot of the time you can tell just by looking at the weapons that they're modded into the game. It's another reason why I didn't enjoy the few parts I played of Beyond Boulder Dome, because as Lore-Friendly and well constructed as it is, I just didn't think it looked like Fallout. Sometimes even textures from the same packs won't even have cohesive art design. Just because a certain texture is higher-res doesn't always mean it's better for the look of the game in general.

A lot of mod artists put a lot of time into re-detailing scenery and textures, which is admirable, but takes me out of the experience because invariably there will be times where there will be a new texture next to a vanilla texture and it doesn't even look like it's from the same game. I remember once installing a redone texture pack for Morrowind and being shocked when the game loaded because it was hardly even the same game/atmosphere.

Is there any way to play JSawyer without the DLC? I fancy replaying FO:NV 'As the Developer intended' but I've not bought any of the DLC, and don't really fancy sinking £20 more on Steam for the privilege. I saw a forum post that someone managed it with TESnip, but I'd have no idea where to start.

The DLC is loving incredible and you're doing yourself a disservice not grabbing it. Seriously, Dead Money is some of the most intense, magical, beautiful and well-written craziness I've played in a while. New World Blues is crazy and experimental and kicks rear end.
