Has anyone had any problems with the game forgetting that the Tab button exists? I've had it a few times getting stuck in menus, but I just had it get stuck outside of a menu so I couldn't bring up my Pip-Boy normally...and now I can't exit it. It just stops registering inputs from the Tab key.

So far, it feels like a willful rejection of the soul of Fallout that New Vegas tried to recapture. :smith:

New Vegas represented Obsidian's attempt to argue that, in the modern age of gaming, they still know what Fallout is, or what's best for it. It's a statement that the West Coast of Fallout still matters, that there's still interesting threats to be had after Super Mutants and the Enclave are gone.

Unfortunately, it was made after a company that had just brought back from the pit of unacceptability/obscurity by a mainstream developer. And it worked. They made a Fallout better than its original developers could hope to do. The only reason Obsidian was allowed to make NV was because Bethesda did the heavy lifting of creating an acceptable Fallout 3. Obsidian tried that (iirc) and the result was Van Buren.

New Vegas, not 3 or 4, is a rejection of the soul of Fallout.

I don't try to dogpile on people for their opinions but as a grognard that played most of the Fallouts: the gently caress is wrong with your brain?

No, seriously, how can anyone objectively say that Fallout 3 is a better game and story than New Vegas. The only thing I can think is that Fallout 3 came out first and somehow wiggled its way into your nostalgia center. FO3 wasn't a good game and its story made no goddamn sense, especially following FO2. FO3 created a sandbox (connected by endless tunnels in the Metro) while New Vegas told an actual story with its different environs.

I have no idea how as it's just a normal wooden rolling pin.

I've had about six or seven legendaries so far, about three radroaches which tend to drop crappier stuff, so I think it's scaled based on what enemy you're fighting.

Replace it with a "standard" mod. You sadly cannot just take a gun apart into its pieces. You take the standard part off when you add a new one, though, so it should still be in your inventory.

Thanks to everyone who suggested switching my graphics preset to low and then switching everything up from there-- that fixed not being able to turn god rays off and my framerate is much better.

I am noticing all sorts of low-resolution textures everywhere, though, even though I have textures set to high. Is there some way to fix that?

This is really stupid but is there anyway to easily scrap stuff that doesn't fit into the modifiable armor, weapons, or junk? For instance, the dresses or suits. I don't need 8 red dresses. But theres' no easy way to scrap it to get the cloth. I have to drop it and then from there scrap while in the builder mode.

Seems sort of dumb...

dismembering the bodies of all who stand against me and tossing the parts all over the place
