I'm sure the mod that tells you to play the Legion questline if you want a "dialogue heavy adventure" and makes the NCR pathline into a literal COD campaign is definitely on the up and up.

So that's it then. On to the next nazi panic.

It was one guy jumping to conclusions and not accepting the reasonable explanation given by the dev until other people pointed out the explanation was reasonable. There have been 10x more posts making fun of that overreaction than there have been posts saying it sucks if there is a nazi involved in the mod. I don't know what you think is happening but it's clearly not.

The New Vegas modder Richard Spencer is Dragbody. He's mentioned before that he unfortunately shares the name with a nazi.

I will say I came for the laughs but now I really want to replay New Vegas. Is the OP still pretty up to date? It's hard to tell with old, big threads like this. Ideally I'd like some graphics/performance upgrades and while I'm ok with most of the original jank, if there are any QoL upgrades that are strongly recommended I'm open to hearing about them. Basically I'm looking for a mod package that lets me play through the "vanilla" experience but as smoothly as possible. And preferably avoid any mods developed by this "Adolf Hitler" guy, something about the name just leaves a bad taste in my mouth

The safest approach is to ban everybody named Richard just to clear things up around here, but then if there's a precedent for banning people on names alone we'd also have to ban every Jared for obvious reasons.

The OP has a disclaimer that says it's out of date but as someone completely unfamiliar with New Vegas modding I have no clue if that's still true. I don't know if the person who made the thread is still active, but if anyone was interested in drafting up some new guides or finding some to link I could edit the post. Suggestions?

edit: wow this thread had its ten year birthday at the end of December! Happy birthday thread!

This is the best advice for playing New Vegas in a modern context. Viva New Vegas makes the game the most stable it's ever been. When I replayed back in October using the older guide, I had very few crashes, and that was doing as many quests as I could. And most of those crashes was because Lombard Station freaks out when it's displaying a lot of ammo at once.

The OP is extremely outdated. Just use Viva New Vegas as a start, for your modding experience and then as you learn, branch out from there, IMO. Or if you wanna go really particular, using Living in New Vegas, the old version, which was far more comprehensive.

yah its vortex and the hotfix is below,
ever since i got the mission to retrieve the bodies in ch 2 (i think lol) ive been crashing CONSTANTly. i put both bodies in a body bag and picking them up has crashed me at least twice per body, and once i finally delivered them just wondering the base has crashed me

Oh hey I have exactly the same problem but I was trying to just get away with not doing a full clean reinstall cause my internet is super poo poo, so I just figured it was that. Out of curiosity was the quest still asking you to talk to the guy who gave you the quest? Cause it kept doing that with me and I was kinda wondering if that meant a quest trigger hosed up and maybe that's why it was doing it?

SA should check first names during registration. that way if your name is something with issue, you should have to pay $15 instead of $10. that'll teach jared subway when he signs up

If you take the 5 seconds to input Richard Spencer into wikipedia, there are a lot of Richard Spencers that are not the nazi one

It could have been reference Richard Spencer of the Winstons. Or whatevee

None of them are as famous as the nazi one.
It sucks for that guy that he has the same name as a famous neo nazi, I would probably make sure my middle name or initial was featured in everything public about me.

There's a reason actor Michael B Jordan is always referred to as Michael B Jordan.

See this is the pathetic part to me, people treating this as some kind of moral failure when it was just people jumping the gun on something and being briefly wrong about something in a mod. If I hadn't literally been asleep when the follow up was posted I would've gone "Oh lol that makes sense" but by then people were already getting called psychopaths or whatever. It's really, really weird to treat this as some kind of hysteria or moral panic that is emblematic of a deep seated character flaw or general trend.

I don't mind admitting that I hosed up not looking up the modding team or thinking about the context before posting, and the dude is within his rights to roast me about it on his modder page, but I really think the overreaction is on the other side of this conversation, because it was 3 people being wrong about something for approximately one hour and apparently that's worth weird moralizing and pages and pages of derails.
