Fallout Series Thread V12: 99 mods but a nude mod ain't one

[comet1337]

why doesnt new vegas have the "life" of fallout 3?
as in more random / special encounters
i never run into a stray deathclaw in the mojave
or a band of viper gunslingers or anything else like that
it all just feels too... pre-defined

and shit, three hunters with appropriate rifles is intimidating

they just gunned down 2 giant radscorpions in seconds

[QUOTE=Cone;39829007]fuckin Mick just locked me in his secret weapons stash with no way out. motherfucker must have been conspiring against me from the beginning[/QUOTE]

That happened to me once, all I did was detonate a fuckton of explosives in there, I managed to glitch through the wall with a few crippled limbs, the secret room however didn't fare as well.

the game just seems so dead without random encounters
there's a few mods that add them back in, but they only add groups of enemies
i miss fallout 3's wacky shit you could stumble across

[droolingPhantasm]

I want to do a Legion playthrough and a science playthrough.

why do those have to conflict :c

[ForNoReason]

I hope you don't have plans of recruiting companions.

Like the slaves with the collars whose head would explode shortly after you saw them.

i agree 100%. I believe Obsidian was going for a more srs bsns game than they really should have. They, apparently, forgot how batshit insane Fallout 2 was.

[QUOTE=Intoxicated Spy;39828297]So after I went in that VR shit for the mainquest for FO3 in TTW, my pipboy isn't working, all it does is turn on the light? Anyone know what is causing this? I do have pipboy 2500 and Nevada installed.[/QUOTE]

No idea. I uninstalled the 2500 because it made saving the game a matter of "Let's play russian roulette with two hours of progress! If you're lucky saving won't crash the game, but we all know how lucky you really are......"

Unique random encounters are hard to do in a premade 3d world.

[JennyC6]

Bethesda managed to do it quite nicely in Fallout 3. Even randomized them too.

[Derposaurus]

It would be cool if you could go off the map in NV, as in the area would be randomly generated with random encounters.

[JennyC6]

There's a mod that lets you do exactly that. They peppered it with various settlements, sidequests and the like as well. Beyond the Borders I think. Opens up the gate at the Mojave Outpost, from there you can roam freely.

[Lord of Ears]

i've always been interested in that mod, but i'm concerned about its quality
it seems a little shoddily made

[comet1337]

im really dissapointed about the companion selection too

atleast have 1 from each faction
or atleast one from the other large faction

seriously, no legion companion?
not even a powder ganger fella to blow shit up?
not even a fiend whos excessive chem addiction youd have to constantly feed?
a boomer companion wouldve been pretty fucking rad too

[Blooper Reel]

I would've loved to have had a companion from one of the three Vegas families.

[QUOTE=Blooper Reel;39835387]I would've loved to have had a companion from one of the three Vegas families.[/QUOTE]

having benny actually be able to come back to the city would be kinda cool

sure he tried to kill you but he'd be a swanky companion

[Blooper Reel]

An Omerta companion could have easily been a [sp]Legion Supporter[/sp], or atleast be okay with them.

[Domamin]

I was surprised that there wasn't some sort of Legion companion or someone who wouldn't hate your guts or [sp]die in almost all the ending cutscenes[/sp] if you supported the Legion.

It makes it hard to start a Legion playthrough ):

[cdr248]

I rarely ever use companions.

I love how the nexus decided to remove the search bar

[editline]7th March 2013[/editline]

WHAT FUCKING IDIOT REMOVES A SEARCH BAR HOLY SHIT THIS UI CHANGE IS WORSE THAN EVERY YOUTUBE UI CHANGE COMBINED

[Blooper Reel]

Actually, it's up at the top. You have to click on "Search".

Got bored with too many explosives in my inventory

[img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/upXHUOm.jpg[/img_thumb]

The resulting sound lasted for a good 2 minutes and almost destroyed my headphones

I never did find veronica once the residue cleared

[comet1337]

fat-mines and MFC clusters?

[Causicus]

[QUOTE=comet1337;39838927]fat-mines and MFC clusters?[/QUOTE]

Not MFC's those set everything off if I even tried it, it was a mix of 200 fat mines 100 plasma mines, 1 veronica, 2 corpses and 150 c4.

I have another where I filled the 188's bridge with hundreds and blew it if you want me to post it.

[Blooper Reel]

Did anyone survive?

[Causicus]

[QUOTE=Blooper Reel;39839262]Did anyone survive?[/QUOTE]

The one boy below the bridge did but thats about it...

Veronica and the corpses were never found again.

[comet1337]

i once took 5 bricks of C4 and rocket jumped
i managed to hit the skybox
i was quite proud of myself at the time :v:

I tried that with my explosives...

The screen glitched and all I saw was grey. Then when I started to descend I could almost see the whole map.

[Magmacow358]

Still aint got shit on 40mm Incindary.

[video=youtube;GyMnwncCWFk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyMnwncCWFk[/video]

Nothing beats literally blowing somebody out of the current loaded cell.

[Causicus]

Alright I'll try to post all of the explosions and setups in order:

Step 1: The Full thing

Step 2: Watch The bodies fly:

Step 3: How Far I flew on it (This is descent so it doesn't look that high)

Step 4: The Bridge Bombing

Step 5: The Result

[img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/DwZO3wJ.jpg[/img_thumb]

That's all I've done, any other suggestions on what cities to do next?

[Daemon White]

Hoover Dam

[Tureis.]

I'm amazed, there isn't a mod that adds a Hawaiian shirt.
