I like New Vegas too. The writing is not always great and can be quite cringy at times, and the gameplay simply sucks. But it's entertaining. Would have been much better as an isometric turn-based RPG with finished content, though. Picking Perks feels pointless when the game is easy and not even...

There's no plausible explanation because the scenario is nonsensical. I have to boil it down to the only "logical" argument: "Caesar sends the Courier because they are experienced with technology". But that's just explains why he sends the Courier, not why he only sends the Courier. It gets...

This is my personal opinion and it clearly differs from yours, but just because the quest placed items in locations I could have visited anytime and are absolute standalones doesn't make the fetch quest any more interesting or less fetchy. To be clear: remove Still in the Dark and basically...

Nobody is saying it, but whenever legitimate criticism of the game's writing or gameplay arises there's always the inevitable comparison as to how FO3's and FO4's are worse, which terminates any kind of discussion regarding New Vegas' flaws. That, or childish strawmen like @SquidVan 's. I...

One would imagine a site as critical of nonsensical Bethesda storytelling as NMA is would also acknowledge some aspects of New Vegas are completely nonsensical (like Caesar dropping all pretense of intellect by sending someone who completely sabotaged his plans, alone, to destroy a bunker, and...

My headcanon is that Ghouls are born, out of chance, from a massive exposure to radiation. Long term exposure won't cause ghoulification, though. Just use sci-fi speak to explain how the Vault's construction materials allowed for ghoulification to happen with a realiable chance, or somehow...

Though I didn't play Fallout 4 I'm familiar enough with the big twist. Basically there are two reasons I can think of: They wanted to show the Pre-War world. The characters being frozen tie in directly to the twist of Shaun being older than you. The problem is that the twist required a cheap...

Ah, this makes sense: I haven't played Old World Blues, so for the sake of enjoying the last DLC I've yet to play for New Vegas I will not read the entirety of those entries, but thank you! Anyhow, judging from the comments so far it seems my initial impression of FO1 and FO2 was right. The...

"People hate change" is the most braindead argument one can come up with to defend Bethesda's games against any and all criticism. Especially because one could make the SAME argument to accuse players of being "manchildren": revert back Fallout to its isometric roots, and everyone who doesn't...

*Title reads "Fallout" but I'm actually talking about Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout: New Vegas. It seems to me one of Bethesda's favorite aspects about the Fallout setting (their interpretation of it, at least) is the Red Scare of the pre-War world, that permeates into the post-War world...

I don't know why people say this. I've seen this said about Caesar's Legion too, which is why I always bring Hitler or ISIS into the table: a cartoonish villain is a villain typical of cartoons that simply wouldn't exist in real life. The Fallout franchise so far has never had one of those. The...

Well, this is a very old forum. :grin: And I'm a firm believer that it's better to keep discussions on one topic to one single thread, even if it means reviving a 10-year old one. Plus it helps to see how opinions change. Adding to what DwayneGAnd said, I think it's a shame that there's so...

Thread revival because today I finished Fallout 2 for the first time. :grin: I really liked Frank Horrigan, but I feel the turn-based isometric combat really held him back. You never get a full taste of his power because of how FO2 looks and plays like. To draw a comparison, for fellow DBZ...

I'm playing the GOG release of Fallout 2. I'm using the Fallout 2 Unofficial Patch, with the High Resolution Patch option installed. On top of that, I installed the 3.8.4 sfall, ddraw.dll only. My ddraw.ini Mode is =0. My f2_res.ini GRAPHICS_MODE is =2. I'm playing with the High Resolution...

I can't recall if Redesigned made a girl inside Nipton look like she was raped or mangled by dogs.

It's one thing to torch a town, and a whole different thing to rape a bunch of women and even a little girl, which is exactly what the mod showcases. That wasn't necessary at all. Do I care about a little girl being raped? Not really. But when you add it to reinforce the idea that Legion =...

Thread is 8 months old, but I'd like to mention two things: - Knowing how to mod your game doesn't necessarily mean you are good at modding your game. Case in point: A World of Pain. The guys behind it know much more about modding than I probably ever will. That said, I think their mods are...

It think it was yesterday or the day before that when I decided to see what did the Fallout 4 Nexus page looked like. And just now I've checked it out again. Because saying "they suck" can be misleading, I'll just break it down: - Eight settlement mods. - Two body mods (CBBE and GFNM). - One...

Yeah, I use JSawyer Ultimate myself and I really like it, though sometimes the game feels a bit easy despite using some extra mods to make the experience more punishing (like Ultimate Illness Mod, something good came out of FO4). I feel that once I have a good armor on me I'm simply unstoppable...

Wish someone did they opposite: Fallout: New Vegas on Fallout 2 engine. The hardest part would be getting the "pixel art" done right, as well as the talking heads (if any). Else I imagine it would feel extremely good, and modders could also be able to expand on the existing content of the game...
