Fallout Series Thread V6 - FalloutNV.exe has stopped responding - Games

Fuck I hate cazadores. First encountered them when I was level 3 or 4 when I first got the game. Before fighting them; "these dudes will be a pushover" During fighting them; "OH GOD HELP ME PLEASE" After fighting them; "Dammit my last save game was 15 minutes ago"

I haven't visited this thread in awhile, jesus. I took a few months' break from New Vegas, so I was wondering, what are some essential mods now? And are there any good quest mods or house/base mods(I like a nice place to store all of my things)?

It kinda defeats the purpose of having a whole world to explore, when there's only one direction from the start city that you'll survive going.

Now I feel like ditching New Vegas for a while, and replaying FO3 just for shit and giggles. Any recommended mods? Like say, graphics enhancers or gameplay improvements? I wouldn't mind having something along the lines of Hardcore Mode in FO3...

Regardless, I highly recommend it.

I remember also having Fellout and Weapon Mods somewhere... Anything that increases difficulty/challenge, adds hunger, thirst etc. ? Some additional guns would be nice, too.

I need a job so I can buy a PC that can play this. The modding capabilities make it seem like there are endless gameplay choices. Kind of curious if Nevada Skies are supposed to be based off of skies in Nevada, or just stereotyped "wild west skies" though.

[QUOTE=M.Ciaster;28669620]I've (finally) got Fallout 3 a few days ago. And I really don't get why people hate it. I mean, yes it's buggy and yes the MQ is kinda dumb at times, but everything else is just awesome. And this comes from a person who loved the first two Fallout games to death. Oh, and am I the only one who thinks that New Vegas is this to F3 what F2 was to F1? It's buggier, has weapon mods and stuff, the main character doesn't come from a vault and there's way more weapons. And is equally awesome.[/QUOTE] I don't know about 'equally awesome.' I, too, went back to replay Fallout 3 in between New Vegas playthroughs, and there were several things that made me go "oh, come on!" --Ass-backward repair system: "YOUR REPAIR SKILL IS 30, SO YOU CAN'T REPAIR THIS WEAPON MORE THAN 30 PERCENT." Fuuuuuck that. --No stealth kills. No matter how quiet you were, killing someone anywhere near another NPC caused then to turn hostile. There is mod that tries to fix this, but it doesn't always work. --The textures. OKay, yeah, came out a few years ago, but HOLY SHIT THAT TEXTURE COMPRESSION. Even at max settings things look like ass. --The models. Every model has some kind of invisible force field around it, so cover is useless because you'll keep hitting the "force field" if you try to fire too close to the edge of the model. --No ironsights (duh) New Vegas has issues of its own, but at least it addressed those glaring bullshit problems.

[editline]18th March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=iLife_Aftermath;28674465]Cripple dem wings, makes them slow as fuck[/QUOTE] Oh, yeah. Good thing it only takes 11 shots to cripple them.

100 stealth + Chinese stealth suit (FO3 version) = Hax [editline]18th March 2011[/editline] new Vegas didn't fix the whole 100 Stealth + crouching in front of someone = Hidden, that has been haunting Gamebryo FPS/RPG games since Oblivion.

Wow. They REALLY don't want you to do anything but the MQ, do they?

Fuck, man. I wish I had though to take screenshots of what just happened. I found the Beer Bootlegger's hideout, grabbed like 30 bottles of beer. (Cook-Cook's Fiend Stew FTW) On my way out, I see some red markers. 2 Cazadors are coming towards me. Me, Boone, and Rex manage to take them out with ease, so, I follow an unfound location marker up the hill. I see about 8+ Cazadors on my radar, and go "Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!". Since I'm playing on hardcore, I go back down the hill, make Boone and Rex wait in the hideout, and go back up. I pull out my grenade rifle, and start raining down explosive death, and manage to frenzy a few of them. Here's where it gets bad. The ones who weren't frenzied pan out, making it hard for me to shoot them. I switch to my lever-action shotgun (with slugs, cowboy, & shotgun surgeon) and manage to frenzy one of them, and then they group back together long enough for me to pull out my grenade rifle and finish them off. At this point, the only cazador is the sole survivor of the frenzy, way up the hil. I go finish him off, ad i find a duffel bag with a set of Combat Armor MK2, a few assorted explosives, and some ammo. Me being a idiot, I press "Take All" on accident.

I planned to bring Boone back up the mountain and give him the patrol armor and some random junk, while I upgraded to the combat armor. I fast travel down and...

I hike back to the duffel-bag, grab my armor, and when i'm looking for shit to give to boone, I notice I am carrying 48 beers, which I could have DROPPED IN THE FIRST PLACE AND JUST BROUGHT THE GODDAMN ARMOR DOWN AND NOT BE IN THAT GODDAMN MESS.

[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;28675916]No because the guy in Nipton who wins the lottery gets killed by me[/QUOTE] About a second after I spoke to the lottery guy, some girl came over and was like 'oh that guy was crazy, huh?" And said some other stuff about Sunset Sasperilla then attacked me.

If you know to repair to a certain degree, you'll repair to a certain degree. -A stealth crit onehit kill with a silenced or low noise gun or a shot from a distance won't make others hostile. A good example is sniping the steel mill's sentries when they're close together. -I agree that the textures are fucking horrible -That's because the shot comes from the gun, if you shoot and have an object covering the left side of your screen the shot won't be obstructed. -I agree with this.

[QUOTE=cdr248;28678305]Am I the only one who didn't like the ironsights in NV?[/QUOTE] I liked that there WERE ironsites, but they were just too badly made on some guns (CARAVAN SHOTGUN) or really blocky and ugly.

[QUOTE=cdr248;28678305]Am I the only one who didn't like the ironsights in NV?[/QUOTE] I like it better than no iron sights, all though the sights for some of the weapons (varmint rifle, cowboy repeater, to a degree the assault carbine) are absolutely fucking dreadful.

[QUOTE=TraderRager;28680107]Agree on the other 2, and the caravan shotgun sights were downright unusable.[/QUOTE] That thing did not have sights, it was just a STUPID GODDAMN POINTLESS SCREW stuck somewhere on the gun. First time I used it, I thought "Well, I guess the shot will hit on top of the screw" and I missed. Then I thought "I guess it's the bottom then" and missed again. Then I tried to bludgeon my attacker to death with the shotgun's butt, but sadly it is not possible. Fuck you, caravan shotgun, you useless piece of shit.

I hate how jet in Fallout 2 is a lol-tacular potent machine of death and New Vegas jet is a piddly +15 action points.

(other than me, of course) -Stealth kills: Fucking this. I wish I could shoot that bastard Moriarty with my silenced 10mm without anyone noticing. -Years of having a shitty computer and playing games that came out before 2006 made me resistant to shitty textures. Besides, I play on the 360. -The models: what? Crouch behind the sand bags, pop out, shoot someone in the face a few times and crouch again. I play that way without any problems. Besides, this issue is in Vegas as well. -I wish I had ironsights, too. But I'd rather have none than the, let's say, Brush Gun's ones. So you're (mostly) right, but I still like both games equally.
