I want to reinstall but instability and sheer laziness of finding all the mods I want is holding me back. Afterschool Special is pretty great. It's a quest mod where you refurbish the Goodsprings Schoolhouse into a player home. It has good voice acting and some neat scripting. I found it pretty fulfilling. House of Horrors is a spooky quest mod where you explore a haunted house. Has some pretty neat scripting. King of the Ring is a quest mod where you enter the world of professional boxing. Made by the dude behind New Vegas Bounties. Haven't played it myself. IMPACT is a mod that adds some more punch to guns or something. Expect lots of casings, bullet holes, and particle effects. Weapons of the New Millennia adds lots of high-quality, modern day guns. Not much more to say about it really. Vault 22 Flora Overhaul makes Vault 22 look really cool, at least that's what the screenshots tell me. New Vegas - Enhanced Camera, first person, now with legs! Also torso. Now you too can experience all the polygons that the vanilla New Vegas bodies do not have. My chest is so... angular. UIO - User Interface Organizer Like Unified Hud Project, but automatic! Makes pretty much every UI mod play nice. That's the ones I can remember off of the top of my head and also the Files of The Month page on the Nexus. There's probably some other good new mods out there, but I'm too tired to look for them right now. Might see if I can find some more tomorrow.

This pretty much turns the game into STALKER (or one of those realism mods for STALKER) re: combat. If you're unarmored or lightly armored, you're pretty much eating one to three bullets by any gun to kill you (and vice versa for other lightly armored/unarmored enemies) With power armor, basically nothing outside of extremely high caliber rounds/high quality weapons and energy weapons will hurt you, so you end up being pretty much invincible to everybody who isn't armed with high power weapons It really wildly unbalances the game, especially without IWS as you can sweep encounters with a single assault rifle magazine due to how lethal things are. It also makes dudes in heavy armor, robots and whatever else that has really high DT/DR pretty much immune to small arms fire. Also, the Legion becomes a joke because of how suicidal melee is with the mod. Every second they have to spend closing in on you with melee weapons is one where you're filling them with lead for like a third of their health. I dunno, try it out- I really like it because it stokes some bizarre balancing point that I like, but it might actually be really terrible given that I've generally got bad taste! Edit: oh yeah also explosives are basically ultra lethal so you can't afford to get hit by them at all regardless of how much armor you have Fereydun fucked around with this message at 02:10 on Jan 17, 2015 |

Is there any mod that adds new textures for melee/unarmed weapons like EVE does for energy weapons and most of the mods of the nexus seem to do for guns? I've been combing through there for a while and I've found this cool looking Gehenna mod and a bunch of lightsabres, but nobody seems interested in spicing up my sledgehammer or displacer glove.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:Holy cow thank you for that post. gently caress I thought I was finally done adding mods. I usually combine it with a headshot mod, so I can pop most enemies that should be vulnerable to one-shooting with headshots. What ends up happening is that the game becomes a very strange kind of balanced: unarmored enemies like Powder Gangers drop like flies from a few shots of even weak weapons like a 9mm Pistol, but you need to get armor or they'll blow you away. Take Ghost Town Gunfight, for example. If you get the entire town leather armor from Chet, they tend to beat the Powder Gangers handily because the bad guys show up totally unarmored except for Joe Cobb and get blasted. But if you fail to get them armor and they go up on equal terms, it's likely that they'll take heavy casualties. It also make it more likely for important NPCs like Sunny, Ringo, and/or Trudy to die. Likewise, it's possible that if you try to fight in the usual New Vegas style (out of cover popping Powder Gangers until your health is low enough to force a heal or duck) you'll probably get shafted. You need to take advantage of cover and VATS or bullet time to win. Word of warning: make all companions essential unless you want to lose them. Dead Money in particular will become literally unwinnable with the mod if the companions aren't essential, as the Ghost People shred them (especially Dog/God, who's a melee character).

I recently started using ENB again and I'm getting some graphical errors that pop up now and then. I'm using an "Extreme" preset .ini and the graphics look nice apart from these glitches. Does anyone know which settings are causing this so I can turn them off or adjust them? I'm pretty positive I installed everything correctly and yes I'm using the newest ENB version. Specifically the shaders and presets here: http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/49882/

Most armor just helps you take a few more shots, or be able to take higher caliber rounds without instantly dying. It's only really Power Armor that makes you into an invincible tank. I dunno, it's really appealing to me and I can't quite put my finger on exactly why. Everything just comes together to form an experience I enjoy, what can I say?

If you play with low armor that mod basically turns the game into Heaven or Hell mode from Devil May Cry. Enemies die in one hit, but so do you.

Also, power armor isn't as common in New Vegas as it was in Fallout 3 and you don't necessarily get power armor training as you play through the main quest. It's quite likely that you'll be sticking with armors that are good at keeping you alive, but don't make you invincible. Also keep in mind that enemies get the same treatment as the Courier: trying to fight the Brotherhood of Steel without heavy weapons and loads of AP ammo is literal suicide, the Ghost People are likely to tear you up but can be dropped with a few good hits (the Holo Rifle in particular is badass), and anything with explosives needs to be stopped ASAP. Protectrons are still tin cans, but sentry bots are murderous. I was certainly impressed when I was first confronted with Rawr and panic dumped an entire Red Glare canister straight into his face. It worked. If it didn't, he would have one-shot me. chitoryu12 fucked around with this message at 10:08 on Jan 17, 2015 |

So i've decided to play NV again after a long time. I'm looking to do a more purist playthrough gameplay/story wise - so JSawyer, some restoration-of-cut-content mods (feel free to recommend any) and that's about it. Maybe Cirosan's mod if it's still around. Probably first time playing without project nevada. Anyway the main difference is that i won't be playing on my old potato pc, i'll be playing on a new one i got a while back, so please hit me up with graphics/shaders/texture mods and such. NVSE is giving me this weird error "Application load error 5:0000065434", any clue how to deal with this? uaciaut fucked around with this message at 11:16 on Jan 18, 2015 |

I can't figure out a way to make Old World Blues end. I did all the quests but it just won't pay the slideshow and hand me my transportalponder. I hosed around with as many of the quest-related console commands as I could, but quest status doesn't seem to be related to triggering the ending sequence. Guess I'm hosed.

New Vegas Uncut - Freeside Open is pretty good as long as you don't install any quest mods that interact with Freeside. It combines all the Freeside hubs into one worldspace, as well as implementing the Freeside-related mods from the Uncut series. There's more NPCs, more quests, about a hundred lines of restored dialogue, and lots of other things. It really makes Freeside come alive. Most of this was scrounged from the game files, with the mod author filling in the blank spaces. I guess that makes it kinda vanilla? It's kinda resource-heavy, but you should be fine if you have a decent rig and nothing too crazy when it comes to graphic mods. The STEP guide has some nice recommendations when it comes to graphics.

Raygereio posted:Still it puts a lot of strain on an already fragile engine. And uninstalling it from an ongoing game where you've already been to Freeside is not recommended. If it runs poorly on 8 gb's of ram, a gtx 970 and an i5 4690k it's just not meant to be i guess. Question - does EVE only affect energy weapon textures and animations or does it add content as well? Because i'm really not looking for more content and while graphically a lot of weapon mods do the trick, vanilla game itself (well the ulitame edition at least) has enough stuff to kill critters and people with.

Yeah EVE just gives energy weapons shiny new textures and prettier visual effects. It makes green lasers purple for some reason but doesn't add new weapons, though it does have a wider variety of critical kills (white hot ash pile, blackened ash pile, sometimes enemies explode into ash bits). I'm using Freeside Open (and Strip Open as well) and it stutters a bit when I go to where the zone transitions used to be and is maybe slightly more likely to crash, but in general it works fine, and I've just got an integrated Intel HD Graphics card and 4GB RAM. The OP's mod list is still pretty good, I recommend Outside Bets and the retexture mods. One I like that isn't in the OP is DLC weapon integration, which adds DLC weapons to the main game. It's nothing insane- you can't buy an extra holorifle or whatever- I just run into Raiders who use .45 pistols and battle rifles occasionally, and I saved up to buy a LAER off a travelling merchant. I like this mod because it makes the game feel that bit more cohesive.

You can then use Poco/Ojo on top of it since NMC covers a lot more things than Poco/Ojo. It's very much worth using.
