I figured it was the next phase of the game. You know, just flat out existing a few months from now.

Here's something cool about the newest update: There is no Sheepsquatch.

Like, Sheepsquatch is in the files, theres a model of him, but so far he has not made an appearance in the game.

I just installed FNV and spent maybe a dozen hours dicking around having fun. I think I'm about to make it to Boulder City, and I've done every quest that's come my way up until now (the question where you help Jason Bright go to the moon? was particularly fun. I have two questions: • Right now, Ceasar's Legion hates me, while the NCR likes me. This wasn't a conscious choice on my part: one side was trying to kill me and the other wasn't. Same for the Powder Gangers. While I can't imagine I'll regret their enmity, have I damned myself to a fixed path and walled off parts of the game for myself or am I still good? • When I played Fallout 4, I dicked around for 80 hours and never really got into the main quest--I found some old man my son? i can't remember and got burned out from all the settlement quests and poo poo by the time I got to the factional quests afterward. Now that I'm playing FNV--are there any essential sidequest-givers in this game, or are they all pretty good? What's the right speed for the main quest/DLC?

at a certain point the legion and ncr will forgive you your trespasses. if you keep killing them after that though they will hate you forever

One important thing to bear in mind with the DLC is: manually save before going to a DLC area. Three of them don't allow you to leave until you're done with that area's main quest, and if you find yourself not having a lot of fun it's nice to know you can just roll back time and skip it

You'll get a chance to join Caesar's Legion later if you want to, even if they hate you now. Powder Gangers have some quests around the NCR Correction Facility, but nothing much apart from that. Remember you can use faction armor if you still want to do a hostile faction's quests, though faction leaders and their guards will usually see through it. There aren't that many fetch quests in NV compared to fo4. The main quest will send you all over the map to make contact with the major factions. The DLC is meant to be done after the main game, but the enemy scaling can get out of hand.

Technically, the Legion doesn't start out trying to kill you. Only literally everyone and everything else around you! They'll go hostile if you attack them first or recruit Boone. I guess there's a couple of quests in the Nelson area that flag them hostile as well.

Oh also who should I recruit? I've got ED-E right now and I DL'd a mod that gives him a little face and I love him.

you should recruit boone because he hates the legion and so should you

I mean, if the Legion already hates you it's not like there's any downside.

As far as quests go, I don't think there are any that I'd call bad, so don't worry about that.

I dunno, its fun to basically dress you and boone up as legion and then go about killing them stealthily. It's probably the only thing that would keep him from shooting me in the head for it.

You can't put Boone in Legion Armor without a mod.

Except for helmets. They'll all wear headgear because it has no faction disguise flag, so feel free to give Boone or Arcade the first Centurion helmet you find.

Others are more or less "Fallouting with a theme". I personally did not care for it but some consider it one of the best Fallout DLCs.

All this talk of New Vegas is making me want to give it another run, especially as I've never completed the main quest or any DLCs other than Dead Money. What do you guys use to mod it these days? Do you just install the mods manually or is there still an active mod manager for FNV? I tend to use Nexus for any mods I get but I'd love some other recommendations if people have them.

Mod Organizer 2 or the Nexus Mod Manager are the preferred options. The modding thread is still active, and though the OP is by now pretty out of date there's still a good selection of recommendations there.

I hated it the first time through, and the next playthrough when I wanted to play it for the story I deliberately built my character to trivialise it- the perk that adds more money to loot which also works with casino chips, the perk which heals you if you have rad poisoning and then hung out in Searchlight for a while, the GRX implant, etc. Ended up enjoying it a lot, and I've enjoyed it more every time I've played. I think it may work best when you're not blindsided by it

It's funny how New Vegas' themes of how people keep aping the Old World without understanding it is pretty much an indictment of Bethesda's handling of the Fallout IP.

Whenever I get around to replaying NV I am skipping Dead Money. I get what they were going for but it was just a slog for me and I enjoyed Old World Blues a lot more.

The first time I had no idea what to expect or that I wouldn't be able to come and go as I please, so I muddled through it as quickly as possible to return to the main game (didn't save right before, like a dunce). Then last year I took my time with it and actually paid attention to the story, and I loved it! I really like the links to the Brotherhood of Steel stuff in the main game and the characters are really engaging and well-defined.

Dead Money is a lot more fun with a mod that adds a safehouse with some gear. They got seriously carried away with “what else can we change about the core gameplay?” and forgot that it still had to be fun. Making it less stupidly difficult to rest and evening the playing field with enemies makes it much less of a slog, and it’s otherwise a really well realized campaign.

I find Dead Money to be worst of the DLCs in terms of gameplay. It's like Obsidian put everything that's annoying about videogames into one package. gently caress that bomb collar. Played Dead Money once and swore never touch it again because it was that tedious and stressful. Nowadays I either skip DM completely, cheat like a mofo or just mod out the annoyances that completely. While the story is good it's just not worth all the frustration. Some people argue that Honest Hearts is the worst but Honest Hearts doesn't strap you with a bomb collar. Instead it just puts you to sleep. Zion is pretty though. wafflemoose fucked around with this message at 15:17 on Apr 12, 2019 |

Naked Survival (going in with basically no weapons or gear on Hardcore so you only get to use what the DLC gives you) turns Dead Money into one of the more harrowing Fallout experiences, to obvious mixed results It's not like Fallout 1&2 were cakewalks either

Its not an option without mods Anyway, I love Dead Money. Best characters in the game, every one of them has such a good intro and finale that it's hard to go back to the normal rogues gallery of even New Vegas let alone the other games. As for combat, if you can find the three enhancements to the Holorifle it's so ridiculously OP that combat becomes a joke again, even on the hardest difficulty. The speakers....aren't great. I guess my only real defense of them is that the part where they're at their worst in the vault is now easy to me because I died so many times that their is placement is permanently burned into my brain.

Dead money owns, the speakers are fine, if anything it isnt difficult enough. Its survival horror fnv and I wish there was a mod to make it more difficult. There should have been a tyrant esque pursuer throughout
