Theta Zero posted:Right, and Yuri Lowenthal voices the male Courier and the WHO WON THE LOTTERY!? guy. I always thought that was neat, because you never actually hear the Courier actually say a coherent sentence. I'm gonna pretend the Courier has Oliver Swanick's voice now because goddamn that is a great image.

Where does the Courier have voiced lines in the game? I don't think I've ever found/noticed that.

What's the best way to gain positive karma? I'm sitting at Very Evil because I just have to steal everything that's not bolted down and I can't talk to Cass without her bitching at me and leaving (even though she happily joined me while I was already at Very Evil). I already donated a bunch of meds to the followers before picking her up and fiends don't respawn fast enough. I feel like she's the only part of the game that actually cares what your karma is. Edit: VVVV Thanks, gonna try that. FlyingCheese fucked around with this message at 08:57 on Mar 7, 2015 |

Killing Ghouls, unless you're playing a mod that fixes it, gives you an insane amount of good karma, especially the ones around that nuked NCR town.

Get the guy who voiced Goku to do some super mutants in FO 4. And why does killing ghouls reward karma? Is it because the game figures it's a mercy killing?

PRESIDENT GOKU posted:Get the guy who voiced Goku to do some super mutants in FO 4. That's most likely the reason, but usually people just kill them out of self-defense. It's not very good logic, but the amount of karma you receive for doing it makes it feel like it's not intended to give you that much.

Ropekid commented on it one time:rope kid posted:It's really screwed up. I'm not sure who did it (or why -- I assume it was unintentional), someone jacked all of the karma multipliers. I was able to fix it in my (JSawyer) mod. I haven't heard any comments on how people feel it works in that mod, though...

I only steal skill books and legion money (for putting into my shotgun, not spending.) I guess I rob the Powder Gangers' prison blind also, but that's only after all the convicts inside it are dead and so everything inside becomes mine through the International Law of Go gently caress Yourself.

Once each game I find myself wondering "Is it really wrong to take all this poo poo after I wiped out all the potential owners? If I don't lose any karma for killing the owner, why should I lose karma for taking their former possessions?"

When you killed them it might have been in self-defense, but when you take their stuff it suggests you were killing them because you wanted their stuff, and the universe frowns upon you.

Something that only just occurred to me after an ungodly number of hours paying New Vegas and the DLCs is that syncing dialog with the face/mouth of NPCs must be a big expense. So in the base game there's Mr House, who you only talk to as a static image on a terminal. Legate Lanius has a bigass helmet that covers his face. In Dead Money you have mute Christine and all your interactions with Elijah are over loudspeakers or a terminal. In Honest Hearts Joshua's face is covered in bandages. In OWB there isn't a single NPC that actually speaks to you in human form. In Lonesome Road the only person you talk to is Ulysses and he's got that rebreather mask. Anyway, pretty cool that they managed to do this in a way that wasn't glaringly obvious (to me at least).

Best lip sync I've seen is still for Source engine games. Valve released a Russian version of the Meet the Heavy video, and the engine automatically synced up the proper lip movements to match the language.

Somehow I didn't know that JSawyer lowers the level cap to 35. This makes Logan's Loophole stopping you at Lv21 now a lot more sense. Is there any easy way to bump the level cap back up to 50? I know I probably still won't hit 50 with all the EXP reductions, but I'm a dumb idiot and Lv50 is a nice round number to cap at

There's also mods for exactly that and the GECK (New Vegas's mod tools) are only an extra few MB and useful to have around. Or whatever the thing is called that resolves mod collisions. (E: FNVEdit.)

Skilled + Logan's Loophole 4 Lyfe.

I actually like the idea of reaching my cap around level 20-30, because by then my character feels molded and "finished" and ready to take on the wastes, rather than continually leveling up and sinking points into skills just because they haven't topped out yet. I like it in combination with anything that lowers XP gain and increases skills through actual use. Makes more sense to level up my melee skill by shadowboxing than by hacking computers. Any higher level and I just get bored with the character because it devolves into a renaissance man instead of a specialist.

I don't like the level scaling because it keeps going as if you were still gaining combat ability at a constant rate after you get your skill to 100, which messes with the power curve. It's real easy to get ahead then fall behind on it, which contributes to schizoid enemy power. I'd rather a steeper ramp that stops before you taper off.

Moltrey posted:Goodsprings is a really drat slow start, but I really don't know how else you could have done it. The first Act of New Vegas is a little slow all around if you take the loop. By Mojave Outpost and Nipton is where I really get into, because you meet more NCR and Legion folks and Act 2 meeting House and Benny is just all pretty ace. It's not the slow burn start for the plot, I'm a big fan of the long way around showing off the factions; it's the lethargicly voice acted tutorial and the blisteringly simple quest choice (will you help the peaceful townies who helped you, or be a giant evil dickhead for no reason since you don't even get paid). I'm not wild about the AND HERE'S A VAULT SUIT WHAT JUST HAPPEN TA FIT YA (that we then use to represent you despite 21 being the most irrelevant of Vaults) either, tbh.

It's 21 because Vegas, man. I mean really. I do agree that the game is slow as gently caress to start, but I do like all the little speech challenges you can pass as you talk everyone into helping you and all the little caches hidden close to Goodsprings (Chance's grave, the Yangtze Memorial, the Devil's Gullet or whatever) to help prepare you for the fight, whatever your playstyle may be. I can't stand the whole Primm->Mojave Outpost->Nipton bit and all the backtracking you end up doing for all the quests in that area, though. I would say I've skipped it on like 80% of my playthroughs, either heading straight to Vegas or taking a shortcut to Novac.
