Didn't that get patched out? I tried dropping the gold through the force field, but it just dropped on my side instead.

It's possible, I haven't played through DM in a while.

I thought that the point of Dead Money was that material wealth is fleeting, and that you must let go of-

Hmm. I'm not sure if this one got patched out either. Then again, I don't think I remember if I had gotten Elijah's eyeball to spawn when I killed him.

You can also use Implant GR-X to buy enough time to just walk until you reach the broken stairs where you have to jump, drop the gold, pick it up to carry in front of you, drop it on the next bit of stairs, jump over, pick it up, and leave.

I gored a pickpocket (Freeside Open is GOOD) in Freeside and found a segment of his pancreas was still heavy enough to keep me going at a walking pace so I don't think it works anymore

Well if the method doesn't work, then I hope mine would be able to help you smuggle out all the gold bars. :shobon:

Speaking of Dead Money, if you go into it with 10 INT, is there a way to lower it enough so that you can get Dog's backstory? I know beer or wine will lower your INT, but are there other items available in Dead Money that can stack with its effects?

I actually am trying out NV again after years because I couldn't get FO4 mods to work for some mystery reason and just didn't feel like loving with it today so instead I feel like loving with a different, older Bethesda(ish) game.

You could get addicted to chems. Mentats and Med-X addiction are -1 IN and stack with each other. I don't think you can get enough penalties, though! Alcohol is -3 with maxed Survival and if you have Hardcore Mode on you can tack on another -1 from thirst, which still puts you at 4.

There is a mod thread. (E: Beaten raw.)

If you do not have time for a mod thread, CASM and NVAC (and therefore NVSE) are considered Extremely Not Optional because one makes the game not kill itself forever with the corrupted autosave logic and the other makes the game catch exceptions before Windows does. Everything else, even YUP and JSawyer, are at least a little take it or leave it.

For the record, people lumping the people who :thunk: at New Vegas's Metacritic 84 in with the "aliens gave my cat a beard" conspiracy theorist crowd still bother me a little.

I agree with none, for a first playthrough if nothing else. Play the game, and if anything doesn't work for you, use the mod thread to fix it. It's a pretty loving well made game with a lot of thought in it, even seven years later.

You did a super job wrapping things up! And I'm not just saying that because I have to!
Btw nothing was patched out in Dead Money because the DLCs couldn't be patched on consoles, though I guess they could have patched in some changes to the base game mechanics that affected the DLC. They also could have taken down the DLC from the online stores and uploaded an updated version maybe, though if they did that surely they'd have fixed the ghost people having incredibly high Perception when it was meant to be low, and the In Shining Armor perk doing literally nothing

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

The other mod that I think is required is the Outside Bets New Vegas Uncut mod (found here).

It adds some cut content back in, but more importantly it restores all of the NPCs that were removed by each successive DLC (because console memory couldn't handle the game otherwise). New Vegas and Freeside Open are also both great and are from the same modder, so are fully compatible with Outside Bets.

The only essential mods are JSawyer, Project Nevada, Fellout, CASM, YUP, EVE, NVAC, Nipton Revisited, Novac Motel Room, New Vegas Uncut Outside Bets, Freeside Open, Strip Open, True Faction Allegiance, Uncut Wasteland, Remove Perk Level Requirements, Enhanced Bullet Impacts and the Fallout 4 Loot Menu. Anything else is just fluff.

What do I need with gold or caps when I can turn worthless prewar clothes and cigarettes into hundreds of weapon repair kits; a dozen mint condition hunting rifles can buy pretty much everything in the wasteland.

I installed the Weapons of the new Millennia mod and it added this high dps 10mm pistol that could be repaired by regular 10mm handguns and I basically had all the caps I needed by Primm. Also found some shotgun (Ithaca something) on a raider that's fixed by single shotguns and takes 20gauge. So heads up if you use that mod cos it can break the game within two hours.

tbf the point of Fallout is sort of "Do whatever the gently caress you want ain't poo poo they can do to stop you" and if you want to completely ruin the storyline of a DLC FNV is more than happy to let you do that. Which is awesome.

Actually this time around I'm a bad person IRL because the Github version of New Vegas Uncut has downright anemic documentation and I figured this meant the Nexus version was abandoned so I didn't use any part of it at all.

We like to poo poo on NMM (*). But it's functional these days, so it shouldn't be the cause of your problems.
Check if you have archive invalidated (this makes the game load loose files - which are files that are not contained in a .bsa). And if you have things installed correctly.

(*): Daily reminder that the bunch of code monkeys Dark0ne hired, managed to create a bug that caused NMM to DDoS their own website. And managed to recreate it some time later.
