Whatever the case, I'm sure it's ultimately because of a conspiracy by Bethesda to get one over on Obsidian for very unclear reasons

They were probably contractually obligated to keep most things similar to FO3, but I imagine it more has to do with the extremely limited development time of 18 months.

Yeah, when it comes down to a choice between interesting quests and well-written stories, and making engine faces look better, I'll take the former every time.

Then again I'm easy to please with graphics.

Anybody got any ideas for a challenge run of NV. So far I got

JSawyer
No fast travel except between cities/Towns
Hard mode
Hardcore mode
Double Hardcore needs
1 in every SPECIAL
10% Exp gain
No Magazines
No quicksave/reload
No Backing out of Dialogue
No waiting
Only sleep in owned beds
No companions except for quest triggers

I watched the Worst courier vid and thought it was interesting but I think we can take it farther.

When you run out of ammo you switch to a new gun. You can't get rid of old guns or use them if you get more ammo, you have to find a new one.

Pick a chem for your character to be addicted to. If you see it in a shop, you must buy it. If you see it on a shelf, you must steal it. If you are not currently enjoying the benefits of it, you must do it.

Puce Moose made an excellent mod that makes fast travel terminals only in or near major cities. And it costs money. They also have to be repaired as they are run down when you first find them. Works best with a mod that turns off fast travel.

I highly recommend it, has made my latest run way more enjoyable, as fast travel now feels balanced.

This seems like a longshot, but does anyone know where the heck the .nif file for wasteland omletes are? I found the texture, but it's not in the same place, the food folder, or the junk folder.

I'm making a mod that expands the food choices, and want to include omletes for the other eggs in game.

I once downloaded one of those "Improved faces" mods a long long time ago, and everything just seemed... wrong. Vaguely unsettling. Gross.

It didn't take me too long to realize that it was because an unpublicized feature of the mod was to turn every black character in the game white.

...You know, I could understand one or two because race switching can happen by accident ( see: Daniel in Honest Hearts ) but all of them is just Ick.

Reminds me of "Make Whiterun White" mod in Skyrim.

Jesus three hours setting up things for my bad courier run. With multiple hard drive crashes I've somehow ended up with mods and game directories on three different drives but I wanted to salvage it instead of starting all over. Anyways finally get it all setup and running start playing for fifteen minutes before I realize I forgot jsawyer which was half the drat reason I was gonna run again.

I installed JSawyer to play hardcore on, then I installed all the patches that add all the cut content from the game, then I installed Increased Wasteland Spawns. I got to Primm and there were at least 20 loving powder gangers there and I had to retreat to the little NCR camp across the bridge. There were 8 or so NCR troopers there and if it weren't for them it would have been very difficult clearing out Primm at level one lol.

I am surprised that white... I've forgotten all of their names, but that whitewashing the Black protagonist isn't higher ranked.

I was working off some bad or out of date information, not trying to mislead anyone. Sorry. This is really embarrassing. Especially after the other thing. It was definitely very popular closer to the game's launch, but I haven't checked in years, hence me loving up.

The Living Wasteland seems okay so far. I intend to get rid of the hanging Legionary because that's pretty off-base for the NCR.

Did spot a Robobrain trailing a Traveling Merchant though so I guess it isn't perfect.

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.

What are recommendations for a good Freeside overhaul?

Crazy Joe Wilson

Justifiably Mad!
Sadly outside of Freeside Open there's not really any. I saw that there was one that added a bunch of light up signs to Freeside but that doesn't really seem to fit the asthetic.

Freeside Open however unfortunately breaks a lot of other quest mods that use Freeside, so I had to turn it off in order to play stuff like New Vegas Bounties.

I just want a mod that takes all the NPCs from Freeside Open and adds them to regular vanilla Freeside. Vanilla Freeside is way too empty.
