[QUOTE=Archimedes;44436621][B]I remember one time I fast traveled to the Grub' n 'Gulp to grab the star bottle cap there and I ended up getting jumped by a Legion hit squad.

I walk to the El Derado gas station thats near and ANOTHER assassin party greets me after 5 minutes. These guys are more annoying than Talon Company.

[QUOTE=Everything;44441685]in Fallout and in Elder Scrolls I always play a [i]generally[/i] good character with the rule "If you annoy me, or you have something I want that I can only get by killing you, you're dead."

[QUOTE=zombini;44440371] There's New Vegas Stutter Remover, just remember to change the FPS Limiter to your preferred framerate. For stability, there's New Vegas Anti-Crash, it's a NVSE plugin that changes how the engine handles scripts, so crashes are less likely. I've played for over 70 hours now without a single crash, and i'm running 50 or so mods.[/QUOTE] Those two are a godsend! Way less stutter, and I can definitely notice a better framerate. thanks!

I decided to kill some robots outside the New Vegas gate. They never suspected a thing :)

Speaking of karma playthroughs, I think Neutral is by far my favorite. It's flexible, totally doable in Fallout 3, and easily has the best ending of the game where you simply refuse to save a corrupt, shit-filled wasteland by letting Project Purity blow up. It's way less goofy and cartoony than the good ending which feels too optimistic and manages to be even more cynical than the evil ending. Not to mention that the game gets a lot better when you play as a neutral, opportunistic person who's detached from everything around him because it gives you a lot more liberty in what you do and you can interpret quests in a much more personal way since neutral outcomes are the least described. I mean, hell, on my first playthrough of Fallout 3, I played an overall good character that helped as much people as possible with always the idea of a direct reward at the end or the selfish goal of making things safer for himself, so when I came across the cannibals of meresti, I just decided to slaughter everyone as they were an obvious threat to me and everyone else - even if it meant killing off a lot of people.

-I don't like writing or reading long textposts, but it's to let you guys know what I'm doing/going to do- Made a simple variant of the Sniper Rifle out of the Gobi Campaign rifle. It has more spread, but it's barely noticeable. And it fires 3 shots at once. Yeah, it eats ammo, but gosh darn, it also kills things three times faster. It's a substistute for FNV not having a burst fire weapon. I call the rifle "Cerberus" It also has a 9 round mag, so you get fire 3 times before you need to reload. Currently thinking of what mods for it. I've also made the MGS GZ UGARN-5 Less-than-lethal revolver stats-wise, currently using the .44 Mag revolver mesh, fires 5 or 6 pellets, it does 3 damage per pellet, but if you crit, you get the bean-bag effect knocking them right out. I'm working very slowly, but surely on the mod. I just keep getting new ideas :v: I might try to go as far as giving the Cerberus 3 actual barrels. [quote=Campin Carl's "design document" for a MGS themed mod] Makeshift bridge from the Vicki & Vance casino over to the Lucky Bison/BisonSteve Casino? For Standard Singleshot Shotgun: Mods: Choke - Tighter spread Strengthened ejectors - Quicker reload Carbon Stock/wirestock - Lighter CAWLT Special Purpose Rifle: Colt ACR i 6.5 Grendel/6.8SPC with IR-Acog sight, pmag and that weird rail. Make it a quest to find the parts for it? First the lower, then the upper, sights, etc... Enemies carry poor quality ammo for it, and inferior versions of it Have the 20 rnd version have more durability as the those mags feed more reliably CAWLT Designated Marksman Rifle: The SPR's big borther, more dmg, longer range, might even be chambered in .308? CAWLT Armor Penetrating Sidearm: A sidearm in 4.7x33 which easily penetrates armor, but struggles against no armor CAWLT Submachinegun - Stealth: Something akin to an MP5 in .300 blk which does a alot more crit dmg with a suppressor "De Lisle": Make a De Lisle Carbine varaint that does lots of crit dmg and stuns on crit, but otherwise is just quiet and low dmg CAWLT Bear Defense Handgun: Semi-auto Pistol in .357 Mag/.38 SPC Lot's of recoil/muzzleclimb, might have a compensator for it either as a mod or permanently attached to it CAWLT "Cerberus" rifle High powered sniper rifle, that fires a tight 3rnd burst at the target CAWLT Burst Fire Rifle: Make a fake burst by having the firing sound play multiple times, but all the bullets come out at once? Make posters for CAWLT Make a hospital that has been fortified by raiders/mercenaries and must be conquered/infiltrated? 40mm "micro"-nuke? .357 Mag ShotShells - small damage, small spread, not many pellets FRAG 12 ammo x.40 S&W cal for use in 10mm guns? 12ga flare ammo A new rifle caliber that gets ammo that paralyzes and some ammo that frenzies what it hits? These won't be super calibers, they'll most likely suck for use, but will certainly add some flavour to the game. Destructible explosive fuel barrels placed about Destructible power generators that control gates and lights Throwing stuff for distraction, baseballs, empty magazines Holotapes/folders/dossiers with info on other gear 80's style laserpointers for some guns Keycard accessed area, but this can be hacked for players with a high hacking skill who don't want to walk the long way around Soda in a can - Because I might be able to? (Nuka-Cans?) Light Machine Gun - with a large drum-mag Double barreled revolver in a SXS config? - Because fuck logic, have it use two ammo at a time, fire two bullets at a time, and still only carry 6 rounds, can get a Laser sight mounted and upgrade to an 8 rnd cylinder G11'ish rifle & 4.73x33 caseless ammo - Another low caliber light machine gun that fires caseless ammo and has a large bonus against armor Duplex Ammo - Ammo with double bullets loaded into it 20/25mm XM25 un-bullpup'd - Semi-auto 20/25mm grenade launcher with a targeting computer Scorpion-style low-caliber smg - Does however ignore DT 40mm APW - [GRA] Bigger cousin of the 25mm APW, now in 40mm, have it have a unique full-auto variant? Metal Storm 40mm rifle? - Extremely rapid fire-rate, but so slow reload, it's not worth to reload during battle? Maybe even set extended barrel as a mod that increases both capacity and damage Lucky Number 7 - A .357 Magnum revolver with a 7 round cylinder and it has the Laser RCW Recycler effect, but only with 15% effect giving it actually 8 rounds per cylinder .45 Compact - [HH] ALISD .45 Auto, but moddable with Laser and Silencer .45 Auto Combat Handgun - [HH] Their .45 Auto that can accept a Laser Sight, Extended mag and the Heavy Duty slide Spec-Ops Revolver - .357 and 9mm due to moon clips, can have a scope, silencer and "acog" URGAN-5 LTL - Has it's own LTL .410 caliber ammo Long Range Grenade Rifle - Heavier Grenade Launcher, longer range, has a scope and much longer barrel. Still uses 40mm Suppressed 9mm SMG - So it looks integrated, two-hand animations Pen bombs - Small pen-sized grenades/placeable like C4, James Bond style Poison Pencils - Throwable pencils that have been poisoned with Radscorpion poison X-Bow - That uses M1 Garand animations? Make the ammo need 10mm or 9mm cartridges, and a pencil Tranq-Gun - Suppressed 9mm pistol from the start that stuns/paralyzes guys when it crits Nightvision goggles - Duh, for seeing during the night Pentazemin - Increase the guns skills/number of AP points for VATS for a little time (or as suggested on FP, works like Steady and reduces scope-sway) Flaregun - [LR]uses 12ga caliber, comes with some flare rounds that will works in every other 12 ga gun, is a slow slug that ignites, but does little damage otherwise Vera? name is WIP - Full-Auto 12ga shotgun that uses box magazines The Patriot - A service rifle/Assault carbine nifskoped up to resemble the The Patriot xStunrod - A Police Baton that causes paralyze/stun upon crit Soliton Radar/Surround Indicator - increases the stat that let's you see badguys quicker to above max DIY-flamethrower - Spraycan/flamer fuel + lighter + ducttape Throwing syringes - One time use throwing syringes that causes paralyze or frenzy, can't be retrieved from victims Lever-action variant of the Girandoni Air-rifle - "silent" gun that uses .46 caliber round leadballs for ammo, is a lever action rifle with a "flamer fuel" tank to it. Can be modded with bigger/more tanks, improved rifling/scope and bigger magazine Easter-Eggs: Stealth Camo - A device worn on the hip that gives full stealth boy effect but lasts forever? Bandana - Gives more guns, melee and unarmed skill Books that explain lots of MGS stuff and what The Boss did during WW2 Add a compound/camp ala Camp Omega, but not that big that is to be infiltrated and conquered. Ventilation shafts with just enough room to move in Sneak in, guided by someone? Tiny turrets that are wall mounted and hackable MGS-style simple patrol routes for the guards (but with guard shifts atleast twice a day (8 Am and 8 Pm)) Add new guys with the new stuff? Add bosses that resemble MGS bosses: Vulcan Raven - Shirtless dude with a minigun Sniper Wolf - Sniper chick that has some dogs to lure you out of cover Decoy Octopus - Is in disguise, so you never know when you meet until you've actually killed him The End - Long ass snipe fight, with an old man that has some quick regen, but moves slowly Liquid Snake/Ocelot - How to force the player into a fistfight with him? Have the player unequip all weapons, then get them back later after the fight The Fury - A dude with a flamethrower, easy as pie Cyborg Ninja - A guy that moves crazy fast and has a katana Ultrabox - The 4 invisible dudes in the elevator with fists The Boss - chick in a white overall, carries The Patriot Add random npcs you get to assassinate, which respawns regularly ala Skyrims infinite quests -Talon Company Officer: Is out walking with his buddies, is easiest just to snipe the target and flee the scene. -Rogue NCR Spy? -NCR Mole: Make a computer inside McCarran that is used by a few guys Make only one of them are the target, can I make the quest fail if you kill the wrong guy? This can only be detected by using the computer and reading the files on it. -Legion Defector? Add a briefcase with a little extra something something of the new content for starter characters? Outfits that can be reskinned perhaps? Kings Outfit MSF combats Memphis Kid MSF relaxed combats Merc Grunt MSF uniform Wasteland Doctor Fatigues MSF Medic Chinese Stealth Armor MSF Sneaking Suit (both with and without helmets) Chinese Stealth Armor MGS1/2 Snake's Sneaking Suit (+ guns, + sneaking, + unarmed) Chinese Stealth Armor MGS2 Raiden's Sneaking Suit (+ Run/walk speed, + melee, + sneaking) Combat Armor MSF Heavy Battle Suit Combat Armor Reinforced MSF Heavy Battle Suit Mk I Combat Armor Reinforced Mk II MSF Heavy Battle Suit Mk II I can do some GECK stuff and I can do simple re-skins and some modelhacking, but I'm not that great at it. Probably no voice-acting for this stuff, gonna use generic voices for the part that requires it. Might just make every quest some different notes that give them to you. [/quote] Constructive criticism is appreciated, I just suck at recieving it, so please don't be offended. Another edit: I had this formatted in Notepad ++, but copypasting apparently wasn't a good idea. And it's 3 am now.

[QUOTE=Campin Carl;44445365]wurds[/QUOTE] That'd be one hell of an undertaking, and it would be awesome too. As for the burst fire weapons, ask the creator of JIP Selective-fire for permission to use his code for making a burst fire gun? As for the 40mm micronuke round, i've actually made that. It was for personal use, and i didn't save the .esp, but all i did was make a separate 40mm ammo type, up the damage, and add the tiny tots nuke effect to it.

Alright guys problem, and it's fallout 1 related so I'm just going to spoiler tag it anyway: [sp]Alright I went to necropolis to explore, didn't expect to find a water chip but someone told me about it in the sewers. I got captured by the super mutants and one of their leaders tortured me and I woke up in a cell. I am level 3 and the super mutants are 1 shotting me with their big laser guns. Did I come here too early? I even went as far as finding a computer room with scientists whom I killed and got a security card in which I can use to blow up the place, but I don't know how to escape without getting 1 hit killed by the mutants[/sp] So the question is really dd I come here too early?
