Okay, new problem with my 2 handed sawed-off shotgun. Every time I set the Kneecapper to have the desired animations and sounds, the regular version reverts back to default, making it 1handed and the kneecapper 2handed. How can I prevent it?

[QUOTE=zombini;44353008]Gonna install TTW, is there a well compiled list of compatible mods? Google has given me just the nearly dead mods forum for TTW.[/QUOTE] The mods forum for TTW is pretty dead because there isn't a whole hell of a lot to do. Most NV mods will work just fine, and the few that don't usually have a workaround or compatibility patch.

[QUOTE=zerosix;44353470]What's everyone's opinion on Old World Blues? It's the second DLC I'm doing (did Honest Hearts first) and I think it's kinda awful. I don't understand what's happening, I don't like the setting or the characters and there's so much bullshit unfunny dialogue. The weapons you get are gimmicky and if you, like me, went in to the DLC with like level 10 energy weapons skill you're going to get stomped because you run out of ammo for normal guns after about 30 minutes. Yeah I've leveled up a lot, I've got some nice armour, and there seems to be a lot of things to do aside from the "main" quest; but I'm really not enjoying it and just want to get it over and done with. Adding on to this, I've finished it now and will definitely go back and forth now and then to explore the other buildings and whatnot but I'm glad it's over. I found Honest Hearts more enjoyable.[/QUOTE] I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would when I read how many goddamn raving reviews it gets here. If Honest Hearts had been longer, it would have been my favorite (I haven't finished Lonesome Road, so I can't include that in the list yet).

I love the dialogue, the setting, the quests, etc. Though, I do agree about the energy weapons being gimmicky, I do not agree with old fashioned boomsticks being hard to feed. I rarely have trouble breaking even on ammo, usually I leave with more .308 than I came in with. In my experience ranged lobotomites are just as likely to carry a rifle as they are an energy weapon. When I do OWB at a high level they're usually firing at me with brush guns, mid-level trail carbines and hunting rifles, lower-level they tend to favor varmint rifles and cowboy repeaters. The sentrybots in the crater can supply 5mm ammo, and the Sink CIU will sell a balanced mix of ammo types in fairly useful quantities, with a bias towards .357 and .44 since the K-9000 and its upgraded variant FIDO use those calibers. There's also a full suite of crafting equipment in there, so provided you bring a large enough stash of powder and primers you should be A-OK.

The number of enemies I've encountered that I want to wake up after my encounter with them is one that I can count on one hand. Plus, if you're looking for the stealth aspect and one-hit-KO aspect, plenty of other guns do that as well. You just need to aim for the head.

Been playing through Fallout 3 with a bit of a different style (i.e. abusing exploits like no-ones business and using energy weapons) and playing through Pointlook Lookout, Broken Steel, and (soon) Mothership Zeta for the first time. Point Lookout I burned through too fast, the main story lacked the player giving-a-care, the Swampfolk were both bullshit and under-utilised, the Chinese secret agent side quest was ok, but there wasn't much in the way of cool stuff added. The Haley repair glitch is useful though. Broken Steel added the Tesla Cannon which is cool, but adds more bullshit enemies and the lack of Eden makes the Enclave duller. The gnome/teddy bear easter eggs were funny though and the Almost Perfect perk is very useful as is the ability to freeplay after the main quest. All in all, they're vastly inferior to the New Vegas DLC and the other two FO3 DLC though, better main stories (well, not in Operation Anchorage), more distinct and immersive locales, and more cool equipment added (especially Operation Anchorage). I've never really explored DC extensively. I should probably do so one of these days, though might want to restart or something...

I started a Tale of Two Wastelands play through and I am wondering if there is any mods I should get? I got Project Nevada

apart from any weapon or outfit mods you're set for the most part unless you want more shit to kill

There is a mod that you can you to enslave people when you know them out. It kinda turns Fallout into Peace Waler

[QUOTE=Intoxicated Spy;44356681]I started a Tale of Two Wastelands play through and I am wondering if there is any mods I should get? I got Project Nevada[/QUOTE] Get an ash/goo pile clean-up mod.

I'd actually love a blowdart gun. A nonlethal way to take someone out that's nice and silent. Ammo wouldn't be too hard to make/get either. Make ammo just a normal dart + some sort of poison. Oh wait, normal darts don't exist in fallout nv, do they? Fuck. Fallout 3 had them.

Seeing as you guys are mentioning it, and also mentioned Metal Gear. I assume tranquiler rounds for guns would be welcome once I make them? :smile:

Playing Fallout 3 for the first time in years. Good god I had forgotten how much it crashed. I'm just glad it auto saves every time you enter a new area.

Make sure you have done that .ini tweaks that fixes the random CtDs, you can find it easily online. The base game does not support any CPU that is more than dual core and will crash if you use a quadcore, adding some more lines to the game's .ini files will fix that.

Roleplay and Gameplay choices are important and I feel the game lacks in some areas, even if understandably (not a lot of people would be interested in non-lethal out in the wastelands). At first I considered unique non-lethal weapons as you've suggested and as shown in games like MGS, but the more I worked on it I decided to actually make a tranquiler round for every ammo type, and that they would be purchasable and craft-able. I didn't want to limit player's freedom of choice in their weapon loadouts. I know that sounds strange, having 5mm Tranqs and loading them into a mini-gun, but I can't stop you from doing that. Freedom of choice! I just hope in the end its enough to help you have some more freedom with how you play. :)

Beanbag ammo for the shotgun and one of the laser guns you get from the DLC do fatigue damage, iirc. Honestly though if you guys want to do this you might want to consider some way of subduing you opponent since KO's in NV have almost always been more about putting your opponent in a position where they can't defend themselves so you can just go smash their head in rather than pacifism, considering that the incap time isn't that long (though I could be remembering things wrong). Maybe up the time spent unconscious or maybe make it so you can handcuff KO'd baddies.
