i've gotta say the way that the fallout show completely retconned fallout new vegas is completely unacceptable. like yeah okay you have a show set on the west coast in the fallout universe with how many characters? and yet no-one is played by liam o'brien? sure

what are the must-have NV mods if you want an essentially vanilla experience but with stability and minor QoL/gameplay improvements?

I've been feeling it's a "time to replay fallout" mood, are there versions of 3/nv less crashy on modern hardware than others?

If you just install the 4GB patch, YUP and JSawyer that'll get you most of the way there. The 4GB patch lets the game use more RAM which helps deal with crashes, YUP fixes millions of bugs and JSawyer tightens up the gameplay nicely. YUP probably requires the script extender, if so it'll link to it. As far as qol I can't think of anything New Vegas needs though there are lots of little things that are nice. You'll need some kind of mod manager to set a load order, Mod Organizer 2 is amazing but takes a while to set up, I'm not sure what the other options are. I think the game comes with a basic one in the launcher?

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

Just Assorted Mods has some features like sprint and bullet time, and there's a few mods that add a grenade hotkey. I wanted to get strip and freeside open, but didn't want to gently caress around with making that compatible with navmesh mods. (I'm already not sure of how well those work, melee enemies still seem to get confused, but maybe that's just the AI being terrible in general)

Encased isn't very good, it mechanically breaks down after a few hours. Wasteland 3 is pretty great. Wasteland 2 is... I think the best description is "basic", personally I wouldn't see any reason to replay it.

Honestly just going through the utilities and bug fixes section of viva new vegas will give you a very solid copy of new vegas with not that much effort, that's what I do when I want a vanilla run through of the game

Gonna defend Encased, I love that game. I'm sad Act 3 will never be finished because of the Ukraine War, but what's there is a fun attempt.

He whisked off her reinforced leather armour in one movement, wild like an enraged shark. His bulky totem beating a seductive rhythm. Benny's body felt like it was burning, even though the room was properly air-conditioned. They tried all the positions - on top, doggy, and normal. Exhausted, they collapsed onto the recently extended sofa-bed.

Then, she shot him with a silenced .22 pistol.

Underrail is probably the best Fallout-like, period. But it's very, very punishing of suboptimal builds, which doesn't mean there is one required build - there are many, but it's easy to trap yourself with a poor choice along the way. Imo you owe it to yourself to give it a try, but read up on some recommended builds on the forums and pick one that sounds fun.
