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

[QUOTE=Vasili;43575318]So what if he wants to live forever? The guy is a genius who created robco and much of the technology around Fallout, now he's a man in a box who hasn't got anything better to do than to build and [B]give people what they want[/B]. I'd rather have a dictator who was going to send me to the stars instead of a impeding democratic system.[/QUOTE] House's goals have nothing to do with giving the people what [I]they[/I] want. People are a means to an end for him. House wants scientific progress for progress' sake. Sure, it would also benefit humans as well, but like I said; means to an end. If there ever came a day where House would have to give up that progress and those dreams for human lives, I seriously doubt he could do it. Like I said, he doesn't care about the people. He has spent so long in a damn tube surrounded by robots that he is starting to forget what people are. They are tools. The Courier is a tool, nothing more than an item to be used and cast away. The families of New Vegas are tools, to generate him revenue. If House wins, that is the way humanity is going to go. It could be beneficial for humans for a while, but I don't think House really has "compassion". The NCR is a huge, presumably corrupt, overextended, and surprisingly militaristic democracy that echos everything wrong about Pre-War America, but they do alright by their citizens and if you fulfill all the sidequests in the best manner, the NCR ending is easily the best for almost every community. That is the difference between the NCR and other factions. The NCR isn't really [I]good[/I], but its bureaucracy is so large and twisted that all the time is spent governing and trying to sort through paperwork, keeping the people who [I]could[/I] be doing bad things busy.

The thing that I like about the NCR is that they're at least willing to learn from their fuck ups. In the brotherhood war, there was a problem with armor, so they adapted somewhat. They're facing an enemy that charges head on, so they set traps at times. [sp]They end up brutally slaughtering a village, they learn a lesson and think about things before they attack, though this leads to forlorn hope[/sp] They at least try and adapt. That's the one redeeming quality.

[QUOTE=aussiedropbear;43588685]I think something is wrong.

(and there seems to be a weird transparency issue in first person view when you have your gun out)[/QUOTE] omg are you playing as riddick?

Is there still a pnp game going on or is that all done?

[QUOTE=wulfe8857;43589145]How in the hell[/QUOTE] Use a stealth boy and load yourself with all 37 bars. Drop them by the force field of the elevator room and they'll go through it to the other side. From there, run back around to the other side of the elevator room, undetected, and grab the gold bars. Then stroll back to the elevator and ride it back up, trapping Elijah inside if you weren't detected.

[QUOTE=Paul McCartney;43590115] They at least try and adapt. That's the one redeeming quality.[/QUOTE] Both the NCR and Legion are expansive empires like that of ancient Rome.

It's weird because you basically get 100 sneak from stealth boys. Hell, I even looked up several videos of people doing that specific glitch that you are describing and for some ficken reason It never works for me That's why I always cheat the gold bars out, because I feel that the game cheated me out of getting them the only legitimate way that everyone describes.

If they had did that and also gave Caesar's legion some of the good features of Rome then the plot would've been way less black and white. The difference is that NCR doesn't execute people over minor crimes except maybe one or two times on screen in the game while caesar crucified people are fucking everywhere.

[QUOTE=Nemisis116;43582552]herd u were talkin shit [t]http://puu.sh/6phTq.jpg[/t] I really like Mister Rough, such a damn shame he doesn't like me very much, its literally just Rex but with a different model and some beefier stats, no idea why it goes fucking beserk whenever I kill somebody that is neutral[/QUOTE] Post the mod, I'd like to try to fix that neutral NPC problem you're having.

[QUOTE=Falchion;43591015]They mention it, but I think the game doesn't emphasise NCR's brutal martial law enough.[/QUOTE] Not to mention that despite its humble beginnings as a socialist commune the country is basically a Plutocracy thats slowly transitioning into a real democracy. The NCR really doesn't care much about its citizens and only really expands to increase its power and the power of its elites.

[QUOTE=Loadingue;43586807]Alright, I've uploaded [URL="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/24398250/enbseries.ini"]my ENB[/URL] as requested.[/QUOTE]What version of the ENB wrapper are you using? Also, would weather mods work fine with it, or would I need to tweak settings? [editline]19th January 2014[/editline] Ooh, there's WH40k armours on the Nexus. So tempted to get them and do a genocidal playthough, but there's no bolters :c

Oh, turns out I need the injector version for use alongside the 4gb launcher.

[editline]19th January 2014[/editline] Managed to fix the idle though he follows too close now, just going to adjust some things and I should be done.

Tried that, same problem :/

[QUOTE=aussiedropbear;43589687]So I tried using the new files you linked.

(I'm using V.0.173 btw)[/QUOTE] Oh man, this is embarrassing. I'm a total noob at ENB, I assumed uploading my settings would work for everyone. The version of ENB I'm using is v_0232 for Fallout 3/New Vegas, I'm going to check if it's compatible with the latest version. Edit: Yes it seems fully compatible, so I hope it helps. Just in case, don't forget to also follow the ENB instructions, like enabling HDR and such.

I'd like to see if that works, as i've exhausted every other option so far bar writing one from scratch. EDIT: Your game's .inis would also be useful.

[QUOTE=Phantomime;43589492]Started a new game in New Vegas, headed straight to Gun Runners, and I saw this weird light in the distance. Went over to investigate and uh [img_thumb]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/3426412447490644885/90C9069FE243FF2811E9B38E3B909D0C4A613C6A/[/img_thumb] I don't remember that being there before. I would have just figured it a weird glitch and moved on, but I almost jumped in my seat when I finished selling off my shit, turned around and saw this.

[QUOTE=Krinkels;43590446]Is there still a pnp game going on or is that all done?[/QUOTE] Afraid not. At least, not to my knowledge. The only frequently mentioned PnP games were those hosted by myself and Dwarfy, and we've been done with those for a few months now. There is another being hosted by Dwarfy planned for the summer, but I think that party's already full, especially since it's sort of a half-reboot of his original Chicago campaign where he tried to recruit most of the old players.

Is there anyway to finish birds of a feather without killing cass?

No.

[QUOTE=lazyguy;43592872]No.[/QUOTE] dick

Apart from failing it by killing the Van Graffs for Heartache By The Number.

I feel bad for killing her but I want to finish the quest line

You can't. Either kill McLafferty and the Van Graffs for Cass, or kill Cass for the Van Graffs. Or not finish the questline. You'll have to choose: companion or energy weapons?
