RPATDO_LAMD posted:there's a running joke in some online lgbt communities that trans women all really love fallout new vegas, e.g.: Every single time, somebody responds, "it's supposed to be wrong answers." We loving love that game. We joke about how there's no good reason for it, but in addition to being pretty fuckin' queer for a game of that era, it's also entirely about letting the past die to forge a new future, as well as honoring said past while still letting it go. It's the one of the most trans games to not even so much as mention that we exist.

To be clear, New Vegas is trans culture the way wearing a Zelda shirt and cargo shorts is trans culture. It isn't, really, every disaffected nerd boy at the time experienced it. It's just that a decent percentage of them are now disaffected nerd women and are making memes for each other.

The Tale of Two Wastelands was a long install. I think it copies files to a separate folder and extracts audio or something. Took like 1h 45m. Plus extra mods. But it was nice to be able to call Butchs mother a lousy drunk again.

LividLiquid posted:Every once-in-a-while, somebody will tweet "how did you become trans? Wrong answers only" and I'll respond "I have over 900 hours in Fallout: New Vegas." A lot of characters, including plot-critical ones, treat male and female PCs notably differently, and while that has its downsides, it can also be very affirming.

Started up NV without any modding and actually impressed how decent it looks and plays. I remember installing it a few years with all the recommended mod lists and being annoyed at almost anything, somehow certain mod packers seem to concider a lot of things essential that I really don't care about.

It's definitely a game you can have a good time with unmodded (minus the stability/bugfix stuff for an easy ride, and the mod made by the game's director) I played it through 4 or more times on Xbox

Yeah, like the Viva New Vegas mod list is mostly cosmetic mods that I don't care about. Like "oh cool, slightly better looking glass bottles." I appreciate the effort, but the game is never gonna look like a triple A title released in last couple of years, it's silly to try.

I liked the mod that made the legion and NCR fight each other more in the wasteland, and added a city they were fighting over. Fallout 4 was kind of fun for that because you would often wander into random factions fighting

As someone who played through it for the first time last year, I absolutely cannot recommend the Viva New Vegas mod pack enough. The reason being: It's extremely close to vanilla but while adding some nice QoL features as well as rebalancing in the way that Josh Sawyer (ropekid) was wanting to do but couldn't due to <reasons>. https://vivanewvegas.moddinglinked.com/intro.html Their page will guide you step-by-step through the entire process, it's very painless, and it makes the game better entirely. You will, however, need all the DLC for a couple of the mod's aspects but I believe they have a page that will explain how to do it without any of the DLC. A couple things break (having more than the vanilla amount of companions will completely break their quests/behavior but it's perfectly fine. Also, having played all of the DLC on my first run I honestly don't recommend it. They kill the game's progress/momentum and are completely self-contained. They're cool, but I will likely never play them again if I replay the game. I would treat them as replay material.

Assuming you haven’t already, there’s a few steps people usually take to get it running well on modern systems (like the 4GB patcher, or DXVK for even more fps). E: it’s covered in Viva ^^

Every time I hear about New Vegas I also hear about a new mod/way to play it. I'll have to give Viva New Vegas a go. Also I bought it for like 5 bucks on Steam so I'm free to play it!

I fuckin loved release New Vegas and did a full replay with all the DLC last year because I had never played anything but the base game. My general takeaway was that it's not as good as I remember it being because the gameplay is extremely rough. I kind of hated all of the DLCs, too; the Joshua Graham one was great when Joshua Graham was on screen but incredibly boring otherwise, Old World Blues is basically an endless barrage of mostly unfunny jokes and ~whacky~ sci-fi stuff mixed in with TERRIBLE enemy design and goes on way too long, the survival horror one was incredibly janky, renders your character build mostly irrelevant, and several triggers completely broke for me, and Lonesome Road is like five hours of Chris Avellone pontificating at you. I didn't hate the vanilla game after replaying it, it just went from like a 9.5/10 to a 7.5/10 for me. The DLC was all pretty bad.

yeah the DLCs are pretty poor in general but Old World Blues for me is an enjoyable piece of anti-nostalgia for lovely Adult Swim programming and my wasted 20s. the buffs and loot make it 100% totally worth it, thats the only funny part!

I’m not saying you’re wrong but I did love hunting around for the next chapter of that poor guys story 10+ years ago.
