somewhere near the Commonwealth, I wanna see what kind of things they've made

I'd like a massive metropolitan area, but also some sort of park area, Manhattan/Central Park might be good. Surrounding area, also.

Anyplace that would be interesting really. The commonwealth would be awesome, so would the south, or either costs. I just want a large area to explore. Which reminds me, what was everyone's favorite area so far? I really liked DC and Point Lookout. Point Lookout probably is my favorite so far.

Advanced Technology, working vehicles, etc.

Is it just me, or do I want New Vegas to have more cowboy stuff. I want to feel Like Clint while walking through towns.

[QUOTE=jimhowl33t;29085372]Actually, a high Security skill in Oblivion made things easier and such. If you're bad at lockpicking and face a "very hard" lock, prepare to lose a lot of time and break tons of lockpicks. Makes sense, because you know the basics but you still need a lot of practice. And practice = skill increases. In Fallout 3/NV it's just DON'T EVEN FUCKING TRY OPENING THIS LEVEL 50 LOCK WHERE YOU ONLY HAVE 48. I also have minugins and nuclear rocket launchers, a fucking door is not supposed to be such a cockblocking obstacle. [editline]10th April 2011[/editline] Same goes for Oblivion: remember that mission where you have to kill that witch? There was a "very hard" lock on a door made of old wood, paper and phlegm. I have warhammers and incredibly lethal Destrucion spells, and this thing is so brittle I can fucking see through it. BUT NO, I have to either pick it or find a key.[/QUOTE] Security was useless. The Skeleton Key = Mash auto-attempt until it opens. [editline]11th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Smooth Jazz;29099210]So what do you think would be a good location for the next fallout game? I thought maybe new york but that would be too much like DC. Maybe the mid-west or the south?[/QUOTE] I think it should be on the border between Canada and the US, near Ontario, thanks to the US annexing Canada, it'd be nice to explore a snowy landscape. Main factions = NCR (or something) and raging Canadians with hardons for killing Americans.

[QUOTE=Epic Fortune;29098887]I liked Fallout 3 more than New Vegas, I felt it had a better setting. [My personal Opinion][/QUOTE] Fallout 3 had a great setting but it feels as though Bethesda did nothing with it. [editline]10th April 2011[/editline] Speaking of Fallout 3 what was the name of that asshole you can find running around in the wastes who will just attack you for no good reason.

And the whole map felt pretty repetitive really.

[QUOTE=RG4;29103115]Everyone[/QUOTE] It was a specific man who was alone and he was named. I think he had a sniper rifle, don't remember.

In Fallout 3 The wasteland felt used over and over no real changes to the area's. I know it was a "wasteland" but that doesn't mean it can't be interesting.

The wasteland is full of interesting things. What are you talking about? [QUOTE=Fables;29103122]It was a specific man who was alone and he was named. I think he had a sniper rifle, don't remember.[/QUOTE]Arkansas? He wasn't running around, but he's the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of "annoying named sniper who shoots people for no reason". Also, don't bother with New Vegas Re-Animated - the vanilla NV animations aren't horrible.

I've restarted Fallout 3, any good mods? Graphical mods, I mean, it looks like shit.

[QUOTE=TraderRager;29091146]I'm considering boing a run as The Pyro. Has anyone seen a mod that lets you get the Iconoclast Armor and Filtration Helmet from The Pit? If not, I guess I could make do with the Chinese Stealth armor and the Ranger Helmet...[/QUOTE] Just copy the meshes and textures from the Pitt's bsa to your new vegas folder, then assign the meshes to an item in the GECK and add it somewhere to the world. You could also wait until I get back on my own computer, then I could port the Pyro's outfit from TF2 to New Vegas.

Is Project Nevada Any good?

[QUOTE=Epic Fortune;29098887]I liked Fallout 3 more than New Vegas, I felt it had a better setting. [My personal Opinion][/QUOTE] The ruins of DC felt more "Fallouty" than the Mojave Wasteland. It's like F1 and F2: the first game feels more post-apocalyptic, in the second one you can see a new world rising on the ruins of the first one. (although with F1-F2 it's a time thing - F2 takes place more than 50 years after F1 - and with F3-NV it's a location which makes the difference as they're only a few years apart)

[QUOTE=Daedulas;29103371]Is Project Nevada Any good?[/QUOTE]It's a pretty neat mod. It's not a big overhaul yet like FWE, though, but they're working on it.

[QUOTE=roxahris;29105755]It's a pretty neat mod. It's not a big overhaul yet like FWE, though, but they're working on it.[/QUOTE] I'm trying it out. mostly Meh but I like the sprinting thing.

So. I was walking into Quarry Junction, just after installing a Bounty Hunter mod that adds several random encounters. As I entered, a guy named Bad Pussy walks up, calls me out for cheating him, time to die, see you in hell, etc, and shoots me in the dick twice with a Silenced .22 Pistol, killing me in seconds. I was wearing fully repaired Remnants Power Armor, while at full health, and level 26. On Normal. So, needless to say, it's a fairly balanced mod. EDIT: All hail the king of page 42.

Decided to make new character. Call myself 'Thunderguts the Bloody' Max strength. Max endurance. Tag Melee, Unarmed and Explosives. Acquire super sledge. Beat everything I see to a bloody pulp. Eat everything I find. Drink every bit of alcohol. Steal anything I need. Blow up things too big too beat to bloody pulp.

Just bought the first Fallout from GOG. I assume this is the original release, and needs patching. What are the essential patches (official or otherwise) or performance-related mods I ought to get? Running Windows 7 if that matters.

I did neither of those on my first playthrough and died of radiation poisoning as soon as I tried to get back, so I had to start again.

Do thrown weapons get counted as melee? (Spears, throwing knives etc.)

[QUOTE=Daedulas;29103158]In Fallout 3 The wasteland felt used over and over no real changes to the area's. I know it was a "wasteland" but that doesn't mean it can't be interesting.[/QUOTE] I [B]loved[/B] the Fallout 3 map (the appearance and map design) but I thought the copy-paste raiders and mutants was pretty fucking stupid. Too many things that shoot at you, not enough settlements and interesting people. By the end of the game you killed more raiders and super mutants than you've [I]seen[/I] regular people (makes sense, more raiders than settlers :downs:). There's just this huge amount of completely incompetent super mutants, raiders and enclave that just attack you on sight for no reason. By the end of Fallout 1 I had killed like 85 people and 90 creatures or so and the game was really, really good. At the end of Fallout 3 (and the dlcs..) I had killed 600 to 800 people :psyduck: I loved fallout 3 but there's still heaps of asinine crap in it.. If fallout 3 was just different in a few aspects I would have a lot more respect for it.. if super mutants were actually a force to be afraid of (like fallout 1) the Super Mutants are the resident "fuck your shit up" crew in Fallout 1, especially if you're venturing near Mariposa. If Enclave were actually as dangerous and intimidating as they were in fallout 2 (they were like super mutants but with better armor, better training, and better guns) and if there were less '"raiders" and more bandits/gangs that you could initiate dialogue with. I mean if a bandit/raider actually came up to me and asked me for my shit I'd shake his hand and give him my money just for being [I]polite[/I] enough to ask.
