Hello. This is the imp zone thread for Fallout: New Vegas, and also any other fallout games, except for the lovely ones, which you're not allowed to post about. Pretend there's a long OP here with mods and a description of the game and such because you're incapable of googling it.

I've been doing a Dean Domino run where I kill anyone who even remotely disrespects me. Mostly this has ended in a lot of dead powder gangers and legionnaires but the kings and van graffs were also eliminated.

New Vegas is good, the Old World Blues DLC is even better.

Fallout 3 is better because it has ATMOSPHERE. Like a town full of kids, a town full of superheroes, a town full of druids, and a town full of mall goth vampires. Great poo poo, man. Beats that dumb poopy poo poo New Vegas had.

I installed a bunch of mods to make my 3rd playthrough more interesting but I just cant be bothered to go through it all again. Also now some enemies are giant floating exclamation points.

IMO it's better because it has a personal, emotional main quest about your father, unlike F:NV in which you don't have a reason to care about New Vegas and you also don't get to see your character grow up.

If anyone wants any information on inner workings of this game let me know. I did way more loving around with it than I should have and worked a little bit on some mods for it before throwing my hands in the air and saying gently caress it and waiting for a more stable engine. The Oblivion engine really held back this game a lot, as did the RAM limitation. Once you gently caress with it enough to realize what they had to work with and the timeframe they did it in the game gets much more amazing than it already is. IIRC the total dev time for it from start to finish (release) was around 18 months and they were forced to work with a VERY hosed up engine which they did everything they possibly could to fix within parameters given, making it work for 3 very different ecosystems (especially the PS3) and having to make every attempt to make DLC integrate as much as possible (on the Oblivion engine DLC does not recognize each other by default; hence the GRA versions of weapons, for example or the lack of interaction between OWB and Dead Money if done "out of order").

I loved how my dad did not care that I killed an entire town of men, women, and children with atomic weaponry. My real life dad would do the same.

quote:(Killing the kids at the Den)Waste of explosives (especially early on) and breaks immersion far more. Don't you even get negative karma for that? quote:How is blowing kids up immersion breaking? And about karma, nothing killing a few raiders won't solve. quote:Because it takes a very special type of psychopathic character to causally blow up children just to avoid getting pick-pocketed, when you aren't choosing to RP like that, it makes no sense at all. Not to mention you lose a very good early companion to carry your ♥♥♥♥ because you earned the "child killer" rep, and you take a hit on future dialogue options. No amount of dead raiders will help with that.

I did a all-kill run where I tried to do all the quests too but I got bored Nobody cares if you murder people at all if they can't detect you, it's like Hey, that guy went into another room, we heard a gunshot, and Steve's head exploded. Exploding head syndrome must be going around. the powder ganger boss was just sitting in a room full of dead people giving me quests because of what a good friend I was

is there a mod or series of mods to make the combat into a decent 3ps so I can just explore and shoot people instead of relying on vats to hit anything because that would be extremely "my poo poo"

Doing anything to mitigate that will help.

If I had to pick one, my favorite Fallout would be 1. NV and F2 are pretty close to each other. I only played F3 until I met the sheriff of Megaton. Then I quit because I had to go eat and never launched it again. I just find Bethesda's games really uninspired, at least at the beginning. Is it true that non-VATS aiming was basically unusable in F3?

Mung Dynasty posted:yeah basically this Some of the reticules may be off especially if you are using modded weapons that aren't thoroughly playtested (such as Project Nevada and WMX which had extensive testing). There is also at least one example of a gun with specifically canted sights found in the Honest Hearts DLC; it's a really good one though so it's worth learning how to use. The game is much less forgiving than Fallout 3 when it comes to accuracy for higher end Small Arms. I've found that a build using very high end laser weapons will solve this problem handily as they have a very tight spread, instant hit and generally low STR requirements. With max charged cells they can also rip through armor. The fully upgraded gatling laser can also be brought down to below 5 pounds in total weight which is just silly.

One of the biggest issues is that the base spread on the automatic weapons in FO3 is extremely large and most players end up using the Chinese Assault Rifle which has a horrendous spread.

The best thing you could do is console yourself max weapons skills and strength and use weapons with a tight base spread. That eliminates most of the problems with crazy stray shots.

You're really not going to have problems aiming in this game if you're building a Guns character. The problems with how the guns and shooting "feel", though, are just part of the lovely engine and can't really be fixed.
