A post-apocalyptic game set in Vegas (Or near it, at least) and I haven't seen one, not even one, katana-with-guitar-sheath like in Six-String Samurai.

Why is this, goons? Why is this? :qq: Sadly, I don't have the skills to fix this error.

Is there any mod for Fallout 3 that removes the unblockable damage bonuses given to DLC enemies?

"Point Lookout Difficulty Fix" fixed the issues I had with it. Just searching "point lookout damage" on Nexus ought to give a selection of mods to deal with that issue.

The adventures of That Quote are hilarious largely because, in proper context, the first fire is metaphorical and the second fire is literal, but the quote in the wild treats both fires as metaphorical.

There may be a similarity enough between how the moon is shown that this Fallout 3 mod may work for New Vegas, as the "installation" is largely replacing some images and altering an .ini file.

This mod is No-Bark Approved, no doubt, as it's clear evidence of commie Chairman Cheng's megalomania before the bombs dropped.

I guess you don't, but uninstalling it and reinstalling gives a solid base to work off while seeking aid if setting it up somehow goes wrong. It wasn't any pain for me to do so, but maybe my internet connection speed is better than yours. Adding the individual mods was easy for me, too, and I don't have a high regard for my skill in such areas so I think you'd be able to handle it.

The only thing that "increases difficulty" is the JSawyer mod, and that can be turned off in Mod Manager as far as I know. Or you could keep it on but run the game difficulty at "very easy" or "easy" which should aid in taking the edge off the difficulty changes the mod makes (reduced max hp, etc) but still keep the other gameplay changes.

If you specialise in guns, I guess. Unarmed, melee and energy weapons all get +damage to robot variants somewhere in the game - although the sole unarmed is the Paladin Toaster hidden in a cave at the bottom of Black Mountain, I think.

Another downside is that once you've optimised the ammo, you can't turn it into other energy ammo if the whim takes you, so no turning small energy cells into microfusion cells, etc. It's a tiny downside, but it's there.

Release order, before you confront Benny/enter the Strip. Honest Hearts at level ten.

First off, it allows you to nuke both NCR and Legion for that extra, tasty content, with the eventual reset of relations with the NCR and the Legion after confronting Benny and speaking to House, and secondly it lets you know the background to the over-arching conflict and so you know how you wish to alter the fate of New Vegas.

That would make sense, since the nuclear war in Fallout happened hundreds of years ago and there hasn't been a functional automobile or much of any other industry since then.

I think that could be due to that Brahmin pulling your cart is just too convenient compared to scavenging or making the parts to make a car. Especially 'now' with the Brahmin Barons running the show, brahmins are practically subsidised.

I'm enjoying the game more now, but you know what I hate? When a mod does something really well, and then adds another unwanted thing that isn't related to the main point of the game. I've sure we've seen a lot of examples. JSawyer is 99% about rebalancing stats and spawn lists, but for some reason, Rope Kid decided that the safe route to Novac isn't hard enough. So there's an ambush by "Deranged Bright Followers", a faction that normally isn't hostile and is terrible at combat, with weapons so advanced that I'm pretty sure they could take down one of Caesar's assassin squads.

It may be a bit unexpected for first time players, but depending on how you enter Wolfhorn Ranch you can get around them pretty easily and there'll be the travelling merchants and ambushing Legionaries there for you to bait the Deranged Bright Followers towards. You should be able to loot the bodies of the losers.

Also there's a dead Bright follower around there usually. Three places for a chance to pick up a recharging pistol or rifle, counting the Coyote Den and under the bridge towards Sloan.

Most people with the money to get into power via our loosely-democractic system place their self-worth as part of the society the scum sucking parasites are on top of, and it's difficult to trust the people who don't place their self-worth in said society to include them in putting something together that replaces it. Our mainstream 'left' newspaper is full of transphobes, and our left in general is pretty poo poo on disability and racial issues.

All we want is the car. I saw someone (MDCT on Twitch) play a game with mods suggested by a friend of theirs, and basically they cobbled together a way to have the car appear in game but one thing unremovable was this NCR ranger that was part of the Frontier mod that wouldn't shut up about The Courier👁️👄👁️ and how badass The Courier👁️👄👁️ was. They were marked essential and everything.

Edit: I have been thinking of trying the "pure" jsawyer, as ropekid intended, but once again it would involved undoing viva new vegas and that was a pain to setup in the first place.

You should be able to set up a number of different modded versions in MO2, or perhaps using GOG's version of NV will allow you to get around that in a different manner. Having two copies of NV installed on your computer may seem silly, but if that's the only way to get it to work...

Gonna tell this to NV purists mad at the chalkboard scene and watch their heads explode lol

They're not gonna care, because they're New Vegas purists and not Project Van Buren purists. Presumably the P:VB purists have already exploded over the changes to the Hanged Man becoming the Burned Man?

'Van Buren' was going to have a settlement scaling the Hoover Dam itself, if I remember correctly, and more of it was going to happen in Arizona rather than mostly in Nevada.

The main/final antagonist was going to be a pre-war scientist that had survived by cryogenically freezing themselves, as I understand. They were looking to infect the wasteland population with the pre-war 'blue flu' (said flu leading to the creation of what was the precursor to FEV) as to trick a pre-war weaponised satellite into bombing the wasteland, leaving the scientist to take control, along side some other scientists frozen/held in a pre-war facility.

The pre-war scientist looking to use pre-war weaponry to 'wipe the slate clean' became Father Elijah scrabbling about for something to exact his revenge against the NCR, and the other pre-war scientists' facility became Big Mountain and the Think Tank.
