Heck yeah. I've tagged energy and science, but I'm deciding between repair and medicine for the last one. It seems like medicine might be a trap tag? Because I'm unsure how many stimpacks I run across in the desert. If it's a lot then medicine seems like kind of a waste. And repairing stuff (even I don't need the guns/bullets) still seems ok.

Holy poo poo it feels so good to shoot guns. After the bullshit of trying to plink down a flying dragon with a bow in Skyrim, using lasers to vaporize mantis bugs is so refreshing

MAd Bomber perk is so sick...I completely forgot about it but it almost doubles the homemade bomb recipes. Microfusion cell grenades and Fat Mines :staredog:

Core, I guess. Cybernetics is full of OP poo poo and Rebalance doesn't work with jsawyer.

I can't remember if Core handles replacing weapons with their Gun Runners Arsenal counterparts or if that's Equipment, but Equipment adds all this ugly poo poo to the game that doesn't make any sense. Like, the Boomers all get this ugly looking power armor and there's a really ugly Vault-Tec set somewhere. It's probably one of the patches Project Nevada has for the DLC that does it. Don't use Equipment, then.

I actually like the two power armors it adds. My only problem with it is that both of them look insanely bad if you wear just the helmet or just the armor. The FO2 Gauss Rifle it adds is probably OP though since it seems to be better than anything in vanilla, even then holorifle.

I walked all the way to the Mojave outpost, and then remembered that I could carry more poo poo thanks to Ed-E so I went back to the lone wolf caravan to get some sensor modules I left behind to make mines. Picked up mad bomber along the way and was able to make satchel charges + microfusion grenades. Skipped Nipton and just waltzed into the Primm pass and blew up the blind death claw with 5 mines and 2 satchel charges and Ed-e shot off his last bar of health as he was hobbling up to kill me.

i should over look your misguided deeds and
try to give you advice for how you, as the
most prominent member of a fore,
bearing postpeak yield, can achieve
excellence, the activity has dwindled to
well below half of its historic peak and
has not had time to reminisce upon what it
once was. and yet you scoff at me for my
insubsistent input. the posts are benign
as they are solely intended to be
directed to your eyes only; someone else
denies their message because they are
illiterate plebian trash, yet you
feign ignorance too, ignorance to the last
merciful chance leading to your own salvation.

is this how you fetishise mortality?
one cannot have way with onecelf to yield their
progeny, absent of the creator, they are an
infertile heap of dust.
oh such a cruel fate for he who is being
groomed for the position of overlord in
the magic emperor of tax reduction's
absence, for he has lived, and lives yet.
he know the good feels of the living, but is dying.

you have squandered treasure
when it was to be used as a bounty for
your own salvation, and therefore your holdings
are now threadbare; your purse is
both holy, desolate, and a spectacle deserving
of mockery. your very pursestrings are too
an object of mockery. oh behold with woe
how the mighty have had and have been had
and have lost in the pinnacle of their prominence.
woe to he who carries a purse in shame, for it looseth
everything it held, and everything it grasps in want. lost and gone,
the very substance of the wretched which still might have
granted them the salvation of their very essence,
but yet may nevermore.

Using MO for both games and LOOT handles it just fine. I loosely followed a couple of recommended mod guides, http://wiki.step-project.com/User:Kelmych/Fallout3 and http://wiki.step-project.com/User:Essarrbee/FalloutNewVegas

Not much room left for NV mods as stability really tanks the closer you get to 140 mods total.

one huge improvement over FO3, among many, were that perks actually did stuff beyond give you a five point bonus to a skill, or a marginal increase in damage. FO3's perks were so loving boring across the board, and skyrim did essentially the same thing.

I played a bit more of this. Went into the mesquite mountains to pick up the skill books. Epically blew up the giant radscorpions with some cool mine traps. Ed-e is excellent for this kind of play through if you set him to wait so he behaves like a little turret. Post apocalyptic Walt would totes have a floating weapons platform he put together himself following him around.
