Fallout Series Thread V14: When i entered this thread i was hoping there would be more gambling - Games

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;42878551]Meh, NV is a great game but my mods are lacking. I only have three: Enhanced Visuals (EVE FNV), Weapons Mods Expanded, and New Vegas Bounties. Any other simple (good) mods to install / check out? Not looking for a heap of mods here, but something to juice up the experience a little more.[/QUOTE] NMC's texture pack.

How big is the performance hit?

[QUOTE=Blooper Reel;42878727]How big is the performance hit?[/QUOTE] I crash a lot using it unless I'm running 4GB Vegas.

[QUOTE=Lleamen;42874044]I kinda want to play again but at this point I've ran through the game so many times I usually just get bored after the first area and never go back due to how insanely boring the start of the game is. Are there any mods, or at least save files, that would eliminate that tutorial stretch? It seems to go on for an eternity with the "Save Goodsprings!", "Save Primm!", and whatnot. Also are there any mods that make the NPCs look better? The whole plasticine look is really unsettling.[/QUOTE] Roleplayer's Alternate Start: [url]http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/45739/?[/url]

So, new post on the tumblr. Sounds something along the lines of eating. Got a little curious so I took the thumbnail after noticing a shape. Brightened it up and got [img]http://puu.sh/5jIsF.png[/img]

Whoever is doing this tumblr. stuff sure knows how to get people hooked.

I might just be seeing shit or is there a really faint image?

There's so much fucking hype, holy shit, now you people are getting me hype.

[QUOTE=aussiedropbear;42879546]I might just be seeing shit or is there a really faint image?[/QUOTE]Yeah, I'm probably just looking at it too much, but I sort of see the Vault Dweller's face.

[QUOTE=QueenSasha24;42879624]I can kinda make out some text. [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55414661/Pictures/Fallout%20SHit.png[/img] Highlighted what I could see. It looks like there's really faint tiny text in the right-lower corner.[/QUOTE] The top left is "INA" and then what looks like an L, but could well be something else because it appears to cut off there. I can definitely see 'our' in the bottom right, but above what you circled.

So what's the connection between the Glow and Vault 74a? If all of these sound bytes from the tumblr reference the Glow, then how does 74 fit in the picture?

[QUOTE=Derposaurus;42879720]So what's the connection between the Glow and Vault 74a? If all of these sound bytes from the tumblr reference the Glow, then how does 74 fit in the picture?[/QUOTE]Could be referring less to the Glow as itself and more as just to West-Tek.

[QUOTE=Jad Hinto;42879727]Could be referring less to the Glow as itself and more as just to West-Tek.[/QUOTE] I doubt it, unless they used the EXACT same structural setup for the bases and had the EXACT same problem.

[QUOTE=Derposaurus;42879734]I doubt it, unless they used the EXACT same structural setup for the bases and had the EXACT same problem.[/QUOTE]Well I don't even mean that it's a base, just somehow related. I'm stretching here so ignore it, but I was thinking something to do with the New Flu since it's in an area (MA) where they quarantined the sick. West-Tek did a huge amount of research with it so...

I think most of the clues point to the Massechusetts Connecticut area.

this ARG makes me got argh

Actually, if it all points towards Massachusetts, then the rumor that a trailer for the game being shown a couple months back is true. It purported that it would be set around Boston

Fuck I'm going to be really disappointed when this comes out as a Reddit prank or something

[QUOTE=DaysBefore;42881756]Fuck I'm going to be really disappointed when this comes out as a Reddit prank or something[/QUOTE] I though 4chan were the kind of people that did stuff like this. [editline]16th November 2013[/editline] They usually take pranks like these to the max, so it kind of makes sense why it is so elaborate.

[QUOTE=Mingebox;42878675]NMC's texture pack. [t]http://i41.tinypic.com/2rzctqu.gif[/t][/QUOTE] Does it do some weapon texturing also? And texture mods seem to be slightly more complicated to install as opposed to.. some other mods, which are simply put into the Data folder. Not sure though. And I don't suppose this mod has compatibility issues with any of my few mods? :v:

I think I just installed it with the Nexus mod manager

I played Fallout 3 yesterday. It crashed. Also, lot's of Albino Scorps.

Its best to turn them into a FOMOD, but normally it shouldn't be harder than installing a regular mod. [editline]16th November 2013[/editline] NMC only doesn't do any weapon or armor retextures though. Though it pretty much retextures everything that [I]isn't [/I]an item.
