Space Cadet Omoly posted:I'm afraid I'm going to have to officially demote Honest Hearts to the position of "Least Favorite Fallout New Vegas DLC" (Good news Dead Money! You're moving up in the world!) Actually I think you're gonna find that Dead Money is and always has been the best DLC.  I mean, all of you who hate the Courier making Extremely Important Decisions for everybody should love Dead Money. It teaches you that you're just a pawn like everybody else, and in the end you just walk your rear end home having never really resolved anything apart from killing another madman with plenty more waiting for you back in the Mojave. I used to not really care for Dead Money, but ultimately it's the one DLC I keep returning to because I like the bleakness of it and how different it is from the main game. Old World Blues is silly, and I like silly, but silliness can only carry it so far when 99% of the gameplay takes place in that loving school. Personally I'd rank them: Dead Money > Old World Blues > Honest Hearts >>> Lonesome Road.

Keeshhound posted:If you actually ask Daniel about it he tells you outright that the Sorrows have hunters and have killed White Legs in self defense. The issue for him is that they've never actually engaged in the kind of concerted aggressive fighting that war entails, and he's worried about the effect it will have on them. Well that explains that, disregard the parts of a my previous posts that complained about this. King Vidiot posted:Actually I think you're gonna find that Dead Money is and always has been the best DLC. Here's the thing: I loved the story of Dead Money, and I adored the characters (They're some of the most interesting and best developed in all of New Vegas, and that's saying something given how top notch all the other characters in New Vegas are), I just hated the mechanics so much I don't ever want to replay it again. Dead Money is sort of like the Anti-Honest Hearts to me: The more I think back on the story, the more I find reasons to love it. It has some of my favorite moments not just in New Vegas, but in any story ever (I literally cried at the end of Dog/God's story arc where you have the opportunity to help them unite into a new stable personality.). However, when I think about having to ever again backtrack through those loving villa streets my skin starts to crawl. It just wasn't my kind of fun, in fact I hated it. And that's why I (formerly) ranked Dead Money last in my DLC rankings, despite loving so much about it. Enjoyable gameplay is pretty important to me when it comes to enjoying a game.

I have this weird thing with Dead Money where I always beat it when I play a new NV game. Storywise it's my absolute favourite of all the DLC's. It's almost as if I've taken such a liking to the good parts of DM that I forget about all the bad. ... until I come across them again. "Oh right the loving gas cloud" "loving hell these stupid loving holograms" "Why didn't I put points in Unarmed/Melee?!" Going through all the bad aspects of Dead Money, though, is not the hard part. It's letting go.

The writing was outstanding and genuinely funny. The Sink and its resident appliances constitute what may be the best player home in any game ever. The actual labs were hit and miss and playing at level 30+ is a nightmare slog, in terms of combat. I think it was the strongest of the FO3 + NV era DLC. But it certainly had flaws.

With the exception of Honest Hearts maybe, they're all kind of "messy" in their own way. You can definitely feel the budgetary and time constraints (which didn't stop Dead Money from being my favorite of the bunch).

you know I actually kinda wanted to start a new FO:NV playthrough just to do OWB again and I installed mods and everything... but man, time has not been kind on that old engine. I've spent so many hundreds of hours in Oblivion, FO3 and FO:NV but it's been too long since I touched any of them and it's hard to go back. Even with mods improve it, NV is so janky and drab that it's hard to get into

New Vegas Stutter Remover is your friend. I like how you can tell what areas were made first in Fallout 4 by the dialogue given to NPCs. You might not make it to Salem until mid game, but Barney and the PC both act like the player has never seen a Mirelurk before. Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 02:20 on Jun 19, 2018 |

I kind of like the idea of stealth skills affecting visibility to other players. I can only imagine there will be a perk where you don't show up on the map at all while running. Stealth builds could be a viable way to avoid getting randomly ganked.

The thing with modding New Vegas and Fallout 3 is that it doesn't matter just how great your PC is, the engine itself can only handle so much. If you go easy on the visual mods and skip the ones that add extra NPCs it'll be just fine. I'm not a fan of the shooting either but melee and especially unarmed are loving awesome and the only way I play it nowadays. The perks you get for it are obscene and it never gets old punching someone with a power fist and watching their head fly off into the distance.

To play Fallout 3 & NV on my old laptop, I had to get mods to remove various clutter and particle effects New laptop runs them both just fine without any of that I also remember one mod for the Rivet City Stairwell that boosted the FPS of that area to uncanny valley levels of smoothness that jarred with the rest of the game, and I'd love if they'd been able to do that with the rest of the game Also been watching (far too many of) Many A True Nerd's various Fallout playthroughs and enjoying all of them And yes, OWB is every kind of good and then some, even with the dense enemy spawns (Animal Friend at least helps with the Nightstalkers, thankfully)

I’m sure this has been brought up earlier,but after all this good New Vegas discussion, I wanted to ruin everything by asking about FO4. To prepare my palette for Bethesda’s brand of East Coast “Spirit of ‘76” writing, I’m going to give FO4 a shot at love, with all of the DLC included. The first steps of the game are just so trite, I may hike the whole way to Far Harbor and see what that was like. Gotta conceptualize a build, though; I guess it will be less loot focused and more damage and charisma?

The start of FO4 sucks, and I say this as someone who enjoys the game. My last couple of runs I've done with mods that unlock the level cap on perks because some stuff (like being able to build weapon/armor/etc. benches or trade between settlements) just feels like it should've been available from the get-go (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2986. Also alternate start mods that let you start at a higher level and in a different place (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/18946/?tab=files)
