NCR are a bunch of dicks. I was trying to boost my rep with them by doing the quest where you recover the war widows dead husbands body. Just as I finish dragging the body back and getting told how awesome and nice I am a ranger hit squad shows up and everyone starts firing at me.

I decided to do an explosives character, a first because I hate having to scrounge for more grenades and dynamite and resorting back to guns because there seem to be more enemies than explosives. I am doing this because I got GRA and some other DLC, and I picked up the Mad Bomber perk, thinking to myself "it better be worth it to take a whole perk for this." Took the perk, went to the workbench to look at recipes. You can turn a mere three microfusion cells into a grenade :aaaaa: I would say that's worth it.

Went to repconn and looted a bunch of dead Bright Follower ghouls, got enough for almost a hundred grenades. Proceeded to go to the desert area just north of there to chuck radioactive grenades at ants. Then I got attacked by a Legion assassin squad because I felt like seeing what would happen if I killed Vulpes at Nipton (turns out THAT so far). So I whipped out my Courier's Stash grenade rifle and blew them away too :getin: Never thought I'd have this much fun crippling myself all the time.

Try making the MFC Clusters, they're loving amazing.

Well, it was flat out goofy to kill Lanius with stealth, as it generally is if it takes more than one hit (it took two)

Only takes one stealth special attack with the chainsaw.

I haven't modded on the Steam Deck but I do exclusively play games on Linux. imo the best thing to do would be to go into desktop mode and grab a tool called SteamTinkerLaunch - https://github.com/sonic2kk/steamtinkerlaunch/releases/

The easiest way to install it is by using ProtonUp-Qt which downloads the latest version of STL (and also custom Proton versions) and puts it in the right place for you.

Restart Steam once it's been downloaded + installed, and then right click FNV in Steam and go to the Compatibility tab. Tick the box, select STL.

What STL will do is handle the MO2 integration for you. It'll let you use the "download with manager" links on Nexus and all that good stuff. Once you've got your mods installed, I would imagine that FNV will work okay in game mode. With STL set up, you can go ahead and follow Viva New Vegas

One of the main reasons I was hired for my last job was because I talked at length about modding FNV on Linux. Feel free to bug me with any Qs.

I will probably take you up on this offer, thank you

Aside from bug fix mods and restoring launch stuff that was patched out so the console versions wouldn't bork,

Thinking about revisiting goat RPG Fallout New Vegas, but I am gonna play it on Xbox series. So, does the Gamepass version include all the DLC? Also I love that this thread is still going. It’s the reason I fell in love with the game in the first place.

It does not include the dlc.

Started a run a few weeks back and wanted to finish base+all dlc before Baldur’s Gate came out. Have beat Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, and just finished Dead Money. Haven’t even been to the strip yet. Don’t think I’m gonna make it.

NorgLyle posted:

I don't think that I've ever done Honest Hearts first. The thing where the launch point for the DLC is all the way up north past Vegas makes it irritating; I wish that all of the DLCs were in less populated areas like OWB and Lonesome Road. Dead Money is okay considering there isn't much of heavy plot importance nearby.

I tagged energy weapons so I wanted to get YCS asap, and since I was nearby already why not go?:shrug:

Old World Blues is the most skippable.

I want to be clear: I never skip dlc when I do a new run. And the sink is worth going through owb for. But story wise it’s the weakest. But I’m a freak who doesn’t mind Lonesome Road.

Do an anthology episode. Three stories about the courier, each one with a new actor behaving wildly differently.
