I'm about to play Fallout New Vegas for the first time and was wondering if there are any mods I should download and install before playing?

That was exactly the example I thought of when I first heard about Fallout 76 being a dumpster fire.

Didn't the original devs admit to basically squandering the FFXIV budget on hookers and blow? Then the replacement devs did an actual genuine and full apology (unlike Bethesda) and managed to restart everything?

what the gently caress ? No that did not happen. They just loving sucked at making MMOs.

Not trying to morally condemn anything (except bad business practices). I just think that launching nukes in a Fallout game should have some gravity to it, instead of a thing you can do over and over for cool loot but otherwise means nothing. A multiplayer Fallout could have worked fine without them.

I mean it literally means nothing anymore since Fallout 3 gave you your own mini nuke launcher.

Didn't Todd "sweet lies" Howard say this was the largest coproduction involving teams from all over Bethesda? Not that his word counts for anything, but he made it sound like everyone was involved here

There is no way that was actually the case lmao

It really isn't the engine, though; plenty of not-trash games have been made with gamebryo. Bethesda has never really bothered to tighten their games up because people were willing to accept their ridiculously unpolished poo poo (and even polish it themselves.) To put it another way, does anyone here seriously believe that they'd have done a better job with Frostbite or Unreal? The problem is Bethesda, full stop.

I mean yeah obviously that too

I'm not defending this game. I'm making fun of the histrionic nonsense people are spewing about 76. There is a difference.

Fwiw, I only threw down my X 5 because I got all of Fallout 4 on sale for X 5 total and spent 400 hours building virtual blanket forts. I wanted to give Bethesda some more cash to make games. But I guess the consensus around here is that there weren't enough dialogue options, so it must have been a really lovely game? I didn't realize that comparing the number of dialogue options were how we decided which video games were better, but here we are.
