Alternatively I think there is a setting in iStewie's tweaks that does the same thing. On that topic is there a setting in iStewie's tweaks that prevents you from earning more health as you level up? I'm getting way too tanky.

I'll definitely keep an eye on this one. I've also found this mod: Vicious Wastes which seems like the closest thing I'll get to the Project Nevada Rebalance module until some wonderful soul releases a remake of that feature.

That was happening to me with that mod on, but there's one specific file you can hide to prevent the constant car crash. https://www.reddit.com/r/FalloutMods/comments/kpnqmi/fnv_lonesome_roads_ede_keeps_making_an_awful/gi3onzg/ person on reddit posted:edit: it was the Ragdolls mod. I don't know why disabling it in MO didn't remove the mod from loading (maybe because I didn't re-sort the load order?) but hiding the Meshes\nvdlc04 folder in the Ragdolls filetree stopped the issue entirely! MO doesn't mention there being conflicts with any other mods there so I'm not sure entirely what happened, but thankfully I can now explore Lonesome Road without needing earplugs.

Lurdiak posted:I'm sorry but I completely disagree. Big L Guy is right, the weakness of FO2 is in my opinion the somewhat wacky random encounters. they seem out of place. fallout 1, to my recollection at least, seemed to take itself seriously for most of the game, and fallout 2 has lots of humor and stuff. even the main story tends to be much more humorous, like the drill sergeant or the village idiot in klamath who talks like an english gentleman if you also have low int. but the overall story of each game pwns and is good writing. the real weak, flat enclave is the one in fo3, which somehow hits many of the same notes of the fo2 enclave with none of the subtext and even less gameplay involvement

One of the things that really helps 2's story is that even though they have a main plot to follow, there is this other major overarching conflict (the NCR/VC/NR power struggle) that drives the plot in a lot of the places you go which doesn't revolve around that. I think it makes the world feel a lot more real when all of the big movers and shakers don't have the same concerns that you do.

I've had MO2 change my load order a few times - resorting them so its alphabetical. Usually don't notice until I'm in game and notice something wonky. Fortunately, I'm pretty good about making load order backups when I fiddle with things. May or may not be related to how often I end up having to quit the game by killing it from the task manager.

Also wow I didn't realize that McVicker was the Valve News Network guy rebranded. I always thought he was a bit of an obsessive conspiracy theorist for valve titles but I guess he now runs horribly handled interviews where he takes unmoderated community questions to ask s mod dev who just got out of bed.

Sneed's Feed and Seed was good but it's a bit overdone by the fandom. The real tech these days is to say Chuck's Feed and Seed and wait a beat.

I have MO2 set to do its magical invalidation thingy thing and I have bloadfacegenegtfiles set to 1, but mismatched skin/face colours have started creeping in again. I've got Fallout Character Overhaul and I guess that fucks with faces a little bit, but having these two boxes ticked has always solved the problem for me before. Anything else I should be trying?

Are your ini files set to read only? That can interfere with MO2 changing the bLoadfacegenheadegtfiles= line. Is there a mod that allows the inon zur ambient music to play at the same time as you're listening to a radio frequency? I want to listen to the Hoover Dam battle music at the same time as I have the NCR Emergency Radio channel on during the final battle.

In the first two fallouts, the true threat is something the average wastelander doesn't even suspect the existence of, and it's kind of a mystery you gradually uncover until you realize the terrifying scope of the danger it poses.

Even if you don't like the changes made to NPC designs by the face changing mods I genuinely don't know how anyone can stand to play an 80 hour game looking at the default gamebryo faces in this day and age. They looked like potato people with vaguely angry eyebrows when the game came out, and it's only gotten worse since.

Bethesda for whatever reason decided to go with a silly artdirection for Oblivion. And for FO3 they didn't put in enough time & resources (and OEI likely didn't have the time either) to make Fallout's more realistic art style look good.

They looked like potato people with vaguely angry eyebrows when the game came out, and it's only gotten worse since. I always use OCO v2 with Oblivion, but every other Bethesda game I think the faces look mostly fine. At least, not egregiously bad compared to everything else that the engine is trying to hold together. Plus, even in Oblivion it's not like I see an NPCs face and go "oh my god I can't even play this" and turn the game off. It's goofy but it's not game ruining.

Raygereio posted:Because people have no clue how videogame technology works. Or even what it is. And meme culture being what it is, people mostly just parrot the same old tired bullshit. It's like handing someone a big lump of clay and a thin stick and saying, "You should be able to create busts that match the quality of 18th century Venetian masters." This is in some regards true but it certainly is not making it easy. Ultimately in every system the head is going to be reduced to weighted meshes driven by bones, textures, and the renderer, but the tools available to developers/endusers place practical constraints on how much time is required to make something that looks good and consistent from head to head. If you do not have the constraint of time, many things are possible.

rope kid posted:Yes, it's FaceGen, and while it can make good looking faces, the interfaces you have available to do that in Bethesda's engine makes it quite difficult, especially when combined with how they handle face textures/tinting. Yeah, my post there was basically "the tools aren't the problem". But here a tool is part of the problem. I had forgotten how crappy the interface for creating faces in the Bethesda's toolset is.

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.
