Have you played Fallout 1 or 2 since playing the newer ones?

i have yes.

both games are really something quite special and 2 does the same as new vegas by building on and improving the things its predecessor does.

the fact that i can make a guy with 1 intel and they communicate in grunts and confusion is a definite plus point

The potential for the new fallout games modding wise is wonderful because of how much better the new engine deals with things. Trying to tweak mods in oblivion engine games can be really loving silly especially when it comes to DLC stuff.

Ropekid is amazing because he was like "Yeah, I'm project director, but making it work like I want it to wouldn't be good for mainstream players. Welp, may as well make my version a plugin instead of discarding it!"

I loved how you could play a low int person and talk to torr like a normal person

if you're a decently attractive but dumb female and go visit myron he drugs and rapes you

stay classy, fallout

edit: also give the wright kids a pistol to play with and you can come back later and they all shot each other

or tell the kid to go show his dad the gun and he'll assassinate Wright for you

how do you kill bloatflies?

also one of my mods (project Nevada I think) adds in bullet time that spends ap like vats, which is really nice as a not lovely vats replacement

It has a gillion bazillion exploitable things but it's mostly been patched over especially in NV. You get the vibe that with Oblivion and to a lesser extent 3 they just didn't give a poo poo. When you consider NV's dev time it's actually pretty amazing it's not even more broken.

I use AOE stuff on cazadores; snakebite tourniquets also make them much much easier.

Freeside would have been better if they didn't have to break it up. I know there's the Open Freeside mod that undoes some of the damage, but I still feel like it should be way more crowded and less torn up.

You can repopulate it but due to some wonkiness with the way it all works I've never gotten that to work the way I wanted to; creating a custom area and bypassing the existing one has worked but then you rely on someone else's narrative which is always a lovely proposition.

The new engine should give them a lot more to work with in the next installment; watch them squander it anyway.

Open Freeside is really good, but you need a computer that's not lovely. If I had a good enough computer I would try to mod it to look like my dream Freeside, but I think Freeside needs to be open

I am sorry that you do not understand the joy of messing with bugs built into a game itself, rather than outright using the console.
