Cantorsdust posted:What's the consensus on a Tale of Two Wastelands? I remember seeing A Requiem for something or another a while ago and thinking "playing both fallouts at once would be really cool, but I'll wait until it's stable." So is TTW stable now? Can I throw Project Nevada + WME + EVE and expect it to work? Honestly it works really good these days. A few hiccups, especially if you use a weather mod and don't look for a patch to fix the blackout weather, but it really does work great compared to the past version of this mod and the older Requiem of the Capital Wasteland. One mod I did like that on the website for TTW makes the teleporter you get at the end of Old World Blues able to warp you to specific locations in the game (after using it at that location), including Rivet City. Makes traveling between game worlds WAY easier. I do like how it handles the two game plots, with it starting in Fallout 3 and doing the vault intro, but the moment you travel to New Vegas, a title card for eight years later appears and the intro for New Vegas starts. But a lot of the Doc Mitchell stuff is cut down, with him only checking on your name and repairing any damage to your character's face, then just going straight to handing your stuff back and telling you to see Sunny Smiles.

Gyshall posted:How about compatibility? Does this make poo poo crash happy? Fallout New Vegas mods should not any issues beyond they might not completely affect the Capitol Wasteland or there might me some overlap. NV mods do not need to be converted. Any converted Fallout 3 mod should be no more crash happy than it would be in Fallout 3 unless it depends on FOSE. With CCO I know there is a patch to make it work nicely with TTW since I made the patch. JSawyer might work, but I think a patch will be needed, mostly to add things to some CW specific leveled lists.

And I would rather just go nude than use that stupid loving nighty . Will that armor replace replace the Texture improvement stuff I've got already?

FNVEdit patches are easy enough to make, so hopefully I can whip something together for Jsawyer and whatever else.

If you haven't checked, there's a number of mods that have been converted to work with TTW on their site. Usually, you just have to download the original mod for any assets, then use the esp from TTW's site. I have to admit, I've been getting the craving to play New Vegas again, since the first 350 hours weren't enough it seems. I'm slowly talking myself into installing TTW, with the main temptation being so I can have all of Puce Moose's mods (and more importantly, their rewards) in one game. The one thing I'm struggling with is mods like FWE and Jsawyer, attempting to make the wasteland suitably harsh. Getting everything to work cross-wasteland could be tricky. What I really want is a mod that seriously induces scarcity, particularly with regards to ammo. Even with jsawyer and whatever else I can find, I'm rolling in resources and ammo within the first hour or two (though it would help if I could resist the urge to powergame). I'd like to see something like Metro 2033 levels of ammo scarcity, where every bullet counts. It would also be nice if ammo crafting was more viable, since I take some degree of pleasure in spending time messing about with ammo. Sadly, the way the game distributes the components makes it more of a pain then it's worth usually, since the only way to obtain enough is from vendors, who either don't stock enough or don't have it on hand due to random chance at stock choosing.

PN has customizable scarcity of ammo and medicine and whatever else in their in-game menu. Honestly I don't know how well trying to make resources scarce works in the FO games. Most of the enemies, after the very beginning of the game, don't seem to have terribly limited resources. It might be weird to have like 3 bullets to your name when all the NPCs are spraying bullets and grenades all over the place.

You'll probably want to be looking at Gtab's Improved Ammo, then. Break cases down into brass, turn that brass into cases for other calibers, break your dynamite down to powder, make powder from other components... I should probably double-check and release the version I tweaked to reintroduce the Raufoss round and fix a few typos (missing spaces in breakdown recipe names, mostly), shouldn't I?

First crash since I started playing.

After figuring out that it was broken because I didn't have HDR enabled, I have tried Apex and my god the contrast between the sky and everything else is terrible. It looks pretty nice unless the weather is clear, in which case I can't look up or I'll be horribly blinded. It's pretty much exactly like every other ENB: It looks nice in screenshots but playing with it set on is really annoying.

If that's the case, then turn down cloud/sky gradient intensity in the 'lil ENB menu thing. Press Shift+Enter to bring it up- it's under the "sky" section. Because it definitely doesn't do that for me.

I am seriously enjoying the FWE preset mode for Project Nevada - Extra Options linked earlier. This is pretty much the perfect level of difficulty for me (though I had to disable the Immersive Sneak Messages and Alternate Repair System, since I do not like those.). As far as scarcity, aside from the early game and maybe during certain DLCs (Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues (for Guns characters), The Pitt(with RFCW/TTW), there's generally no way I've found to keep it consistent through the entire game. Tougher economy mods can help, such as PMT - Tougher Economy.esp or the harsher trader settings of PN - Extra Options., but you'll still be finding quite a bit of stuff as you go along. As far as TTW, it's pretty stable nowadays, but I generally don't like a bunch of the things the modder is doing. Wish he'd limit some of his vision to optional .esp files, like the replacing of skill books, perhaps add a way to start in the Mojave. Though I admit Goodsprings Gunfight is hilarious when you're packing a Tesla Cannon/Auto Axe, etc. I would've settled for just a conversion with a travel point.

It actually evens out since they're all stuffed in a weapon chest instead of on my walls so I never think to grab them.  I kind of prefer my current strategy of, oh if a fiend or someone drops one, I grab it, empty it out into some monster, drop it, continue on my way. Like a powerup of sorts.

You know, I think it's sort of weird that for as common as chems are and as easy as it is to remove addiction side effects (unlike previous games), there's almost never any active side effects while using the drugs. Like, despite Psycho being described as a powerful drug that made soldiers difficult to control, there's no debuff to charisma or perception that might reflect somebody going mad with rage. "Med-X" (Morphine) is another good example: Despite being an opiate, there's no debuff to, say, agility or intelligence, or an increase in sleepiness. I've been tinkering with active debuffs--simple stuff, like negative effects that last as long as the positive effects--and it seems to provide a nice counterbalance to just slamming 6 different chems into your body whenever you want to go to war with the world. Has this been done before in a mod?

I did half a playthrough once where all I did was use weapons spawned on enemies with whatever ammo I could scrounge and usually I dropped the weapon once I was out of ammo for it. I didn't buy anything - weapons or ammo. It was actually quite intense and fun with the massive amount of variety available in the normal Armory leveled lists. There were quite a few times I had to make mad dashes to corpses to loot their poo poo, or lead them off to NPC enemies so they would kill each other off for me.

In terms of loot and rarity and sell prices, I can't really help out there, since we adhered to vanilla values assuming they'd fit in with whatever global modifiers people would use. Whatever modifies values in item entries themselves piecemeal instead of just changing global variables/loot list parameters is going to have balance problems.

Well, decided to take the plunge and started gathering the mods for a TTW run. I'm thinking that if I use PN and Jsawyer with PN's loot options turn way down, it should help to mitigate the excessive resources issue. I'm not sure how much will transfer over to F3 content, though. I suppose I'll just edit the values a bit with FNVEdit if necessary as I find issues. One thing that makes me sad is the dearth of mods that add new enemies. MMM was a nice idea with a terrible implementation that only started with balance issues (and it was buggy to boot). Even though it's been taken off Nexus, I still have the files, but it's not going in, unless I can muster the energy to create my own plugin that adds a subset of the monsters in a more balanced way using the mod as a resource file. Not hugely likely to happen, however. I don't suppose anyone's edited jsawyer to fit TTW, have they? It'd be nice to have it already done, since I don't think FWE will work well with TTW. Does anyone know if Fallout Wanderer's Edition works with TTW?

Let me put it this way: It wouldn't feel out of place as a part of Fallout 3. Edit: Plus it's pretty buggy and anecdotally, both playthroughs where I've had it installed have been way more crash prone, even in totally unrelated places.

I thought it had a few good ideas and a lot of terrible ones, and that it was executed terribly all around. It's especially jarring when juxtaposed with Fallout: New Vegas relatively sober world building and dialogue writing. If you're really aching for more FPS Fallout it's worth a try, but I wouldn't say I recommend it. Just to give you an idea of how zany and terrible it can get: one of the big plot twists involves a super computer actually turning out to be a super intelligent depressed monkey pretending to be a super computer.

Looking at the file the armor replacer only changes the texture map on the formal wear, the RobCo. Jumpsuit and Veronica's default outfit and I can't say how diffrent those are so you might only get some texture stretching.

On review, it appears I most likely won't be uising TTW after all, since I spent several hours attempting and failing to install it. It appears the installer is really, really unstable and buggy, so it regularly fails to properly unpack and repack files for TTW. Since I've attempted every fix suggested, from running it as admin, to modifying properties, to installing alternative versions of libraries, I'm running out of patience. It doesn't really help that the failure occurs only after 10+ minutes of BSA file processing, so every fix is "change something, wait 10 minutes, rinse and repeat".

A cursory glance through the wiki hasn't revealed anything, so I'll try asking here - how do enemies scale exactly? I installed a level cap remover, so I can go up to 100, but I see people taking Logan's Loophole to avoid going over 30, and I wonder if I'm shooting myself in the foot here. Also, I'd love to see a mod that allowed you to REDUCE the level cap. Something like 15, or 25. For a more frontloaded experience, I guess. Any ideas if there's anything like that, or how hard it would be to accomplish for a person with no modding experience?
