New Vegas and modding

Fuck no, the modding tools and capabilities that Fallout 4 has is fucking limited compared to other Fallout/TeS games. The biggest modders where and still are pissed at Bethesda for fucking up so badly.
Animation wise it's a big step up but that's it.

Nope, it's a total conversion mod.

Basic premise of it's plot is that the NCR is crumbling under constant onslaught from the Legion, NCR General Blackthorne decides that he needs to convince President Kimball to take a more aggressive approach to the Legion, but Kimball a boy cock and doesn't want to. Blackthorne then goes to what constitutes the media and publicly calls Kimball out for being a bitchboy. Kimball responds by sending him and the people laughing at his weak Presidential ass into an exile in the north (Oregon, Portland to be precises), an area known as The Frontier. To everyone's surprise, the Legion has a large force there (XXe Legion, led by former NCR Captain Marcus Atkins who decided that the NCR was just way too corrupt and needed to die, so he packed up and went north for a while before learning that his squadmates were executed for his desertion, he then said fuck it and recruited the natives of The Frontier to join with him in the Legion, becoming Praetorian Marcus Valerius I and preparing to march on the NCR). So now Blackthorne's like "Fuck Kimball, I'll kill a Legion I'll kill a Legion 9 times" and starts hitting them hard. Portland has lots of pre-war military shit in it so the fighting is intense with all kinds of goodies, and the war quickly freezes still in the streets and snow. Blackthorne is confident he'll win, and when he does he wants to shove his rifle up the two-headed bear's asshole, aka Kimball.

The mod includes a bunch of shit, and requires New Vegas and all the DLC to work. Shit like weather effecting the player (player temperature in the snow or rain, the need for weather appropriate items), some sort of hunting system you'll need to participate in to survive apparently (non-specified, but it's big game and I assume the mod might be survival mode by default and most of your crafting ingredients will come from animals), air combat and possibly tank combat, fire that spreads and destructible objects, all in a new 16km by 16km map complete with main story, side quests, active battlezones, etc.

I really like the Exile NCR snow uniforms. I hope it isn't shit, and they said it should be out by the end of the year.

Sounds more like Van Buren

Have they released the G.E.C.K. for FO4 yet? I remember there being a big delay for it.

Yeah, they did it like just under a year ago.

Half of me thinks that they should just go an make their own game, and not have it be reliant on another. But the other half thinks that it would've never happened if it wasn't a mod.

New Vegas is basically Van Buren, if you look up interview and designs from it you'll notice it.

It is and it had a big delay, which is funny because at the same time even the normalfags admitted FO4 to be a big pile of shit.

If only OpenMW was OpenNV

Well they use a lot of assets from NV. If they made their own game it would've taken them longer to make and a lot more costly. Plus this being a mod for a popular game helps to garner attention.

There are people importing/porting Oblivion, Fallout 3 and NV stuff to OpenMW. It might be a struggle but I can see NV running on OpenMW

I hope that they eventually do. That what I'm trying to do. I started on and off writing a campaign idea for the Fallout tabletop RPG and it got big enough I'm trying to rewrite it into my own IP. TL;DR the campaign idea was set in Wyoming and Montana, the remnants of the brewing industry are fighting with each other over who controls the flow of booze into the former USA via a series of proxy Range Wars and various Native American ghoul tribes while also contesting with (WW1) tank-sized crazed agricultural robots. I wrote a lot of shit and now I'm writing my own original and then I'll rewrite the campaign to conform to that instead of Fallout's world.

Anyway I imagine the reason why so many people are willing to put this much effort into making a mod over their own original game, I suspect, id that it's easier to attract people to work on a mod than it is to get people to work on a new IP. The former relies on fan passion and the latter relies on dollar bills.

You better not be shitting me user. But only time will tell

I'm not man, New Vegas on OpenMW will be fucking heaven.

Even for New Vegas itself Obsidian didn't really go and make a new game. It was basically a total conversion mod for 3.
That's not to say NV isn't good or legitimate, or that 3 is, but NV couldn't have happened without 3 to build on.

my uncle does coding for openMW and he told me they imported liberty prime from fo3 and retextured it to look like the akulahkhan. The new end fight is going to be more rad than ever and all the 'open' morrowind stuff is just the start he says, like they're going to make fireball spells do fat man booms.

Project Brazil is decent if you want a fan-prequel part 2 is releasing hopefully this season or at most late summer.

...

I really need a fucking mod that makes Trudy's ass big, she is the best girl in the game.

It's opposite for me, New Vegas is so damn big and I won't complete it any time soon unless I allow myself to get sucked into the void and the memory of Fallout is associated with a girl I met at an amusement park years ago but never got her name or number.

Every single total conversion mod I've played like this ends of being a cringe edge fest when it comes to dialog and voice acting. The only one I've ever decently liked was the Enderal mod for Skyrim.

Most disappointing fucking mod I ever downloaded

I concur. Just go through Fear and Loathing in New Vegas. It will give you almost everything you need for the 1st modded play through that still sticks to the vanilla experience.

Other good mods to spice things up are More Perks and More Traits. They will give you more options when it comes to crafting your character, but won't make you any more Op than traits and perks in the game. Some good Quality of life mods are ones for EDE to not trigger mines and wires, and ones that makes Crimson Caravan actually sell guns.
If you want an alternative for fast travel and walking everywhere, get Voyager. It puts a Vertibird on an airport all the way in the south of the map. Once you get to it, it can take you to any predetermined landing sites that you discovered. Most of the landing sites are near settlements and some by factories and landmarks. It is the closest thing to stil-strider-like fast travel I managed to find. In addition, vertibird has a bed and some storage room, so it can be used as a portable mini-base.

Forgot about the link to the guide:

What do you think about the future of this franchise? Do you think there'll ever be another 2d Fallout or a non Bethesda Fallout of some kind , or are we stuck with "spiritual successors"?

What a shitty trailer.

Considering that Obsidian, Avellone, and Awayer said that they are to, and that Avellone works for Bethesda, there is some possibility.
It will most likely be spiritual successors for the foreseeable future. Bethesda has to either die or just want to get rid off franchise for someone else to be able to pick it up.

I doubt it.

Bethesda doesn't care about original Fallout and New Vegas showed them up as hacks and I don't think they'd be eager to point out how much they suck again.

I can't fucking play NV because the mouse controls feel like shit. I just modded the fuck out of it and I can't even fucking play it because I just wanna smash my monitor because of the shitty floaty fucking mouse

Gitgud controller fag.

How is cucking both the west and the east by founding your new empire a libertarian action?

NCR bans prostitution and gambling, doesn't allow civilians to carry weapons in their cities, and enslaves criminals.

Legion bans drugs, and can disarm, enslave, or kill any civilian at any time it pleases.

Vegas does none of these things. It is a more libertarian state, and its independence keeps the NCR and Legion from changing that. It doesn't necessarily keep you from changing that, but you'd have a more difficult time of it than the Legion, at least.

The Courier doesn't establish an empire, he creates an anarcho-capitalist state and buggers off OR it establishes a police-state controlled by someone else then buggers off.

There is no "your new empire" in New Vegas, only everyone else' new empire.

I like those mods which allow you to smoke, introduce visual effects for drugs and booze, allows you to make coffee, rename weapons and morphine to their proper names, or 1st person full view (you know, you be able to see your fucking feet instead of being floating hands and guns). You know, those little details which try to increase the immersion.

No, you stupid faggot, I mean the floaty mouse controls in the game. I prefer mouse+keyboard, but in NV the controls feel like shit.

Jesus H Christ are you fuckers for real? The ending goes: ice house, insert the chip into the slot and tell everyone to fuck off. That's it, you a kang by your own brawn now.

Nah.

I have the perfect amount of mods installed right now, but now that I'm happy with it I keep on getting constant crashes. I'm using the 4gb patch and everything, and I don't even really have that many mods.
Fuck my ass tenderly.

Are crashes random?

None of the Independent Vegas endings say the player assumes control of New Vegas. You don't get an empire. Either no one does or someone else does.

Pretty random. I'm starting to think it's CASM though.
How's my load order look?

Better picture, sorry.

I appreciate the Frontier shilling because it looks like fun but my man - you full of shit.

Becoming a dictator is literally the ultimate form of self-interest.

The ending monologue by Ron Perlman for that ending states:
>Any chaos on the streets was ended, quickly. Chaos became uncertainty, then acceptance, with minimal loss of life.
You don't have a ruler in an Anarchist state, user. The only laws the courier makes is 'step on me and I swear to god I'll kill us all' thanks to his upgraded Securitron's, but that doesn't mean he becomes mayor, king, or emperor over anyone.

It's called mouse acceleration, and you can disable it with an ini tweak

You're at the club when someone slaps your girl's ass. You turn around and see it's this guy.

What do?

youtu.be/FBQJSz1ZYJ8?t=1851
What part of chaos stops being chaos and becomes acceptance of bot enforced dictatorship is unclear? But I'm impressed really, you'd rather pretend that you're retarded than admit that you're wrong on a anonymous mongolian weaving board.

This is good but sadly incorrect with NCR. Unless you play the ww2 mod where the Legion are Nazis and the NCR are commies

Stopping looting an pillaging and staying around to stop the NCR or Legion from staying around =/= empire.
It's the anarchist route. You don't get an anarchist route.

Yeah, okay. You can sit there and bait with your non-canon roleplay all you want but I'm done responded. Enjoy autistically screeching against a brickwall.

wew. Well, which one is it faggot?

I've had problems with Electro-city, but make sure you use an inside save if you switch it off.

Shoot him with my 1000-cap ray gun.

That general didn't fly so good.

His arm is in pieces anyway.

It's almost like a bunch of autists who can code real good aren't big on the humanities. For me, learning that there'd be no joinable Legion campaign within the Frontier kind of killed my hype, I'll still check it out, but I'm way less interested in it than a lot of people are.

Obsidian's really gone to shit, and they lost Avellone, so I wouldn't want them to make a new fallout even if Bethesda weren't actually evil and would inevitably try to fucking devour them with unfair deadlines, tight budgets, and screwed quality assurance.

I'd be more than happy with the franchise just being dead at this point. We've got a fairly excellent trilogy of games to work with, Fallout 1, 2, and New Vegas are very wholesome and conclude the themes of the Fallout universe very well. I wouldn't exactly be opposed to a remake of New Vegas with Fallout 4's engine and gameplay, though, which could very well be a possibility down the line. Provided they kept the mechanics the same.

Am I the only one who feels like Bethesda considers Fallout 4 a bit of a sore spot on their record? I mean, sure, it sold like fucking hotcakes but they were fucking blasted with negative reactions from just about everyone to the point where they tried to course correct so hard that it fucked their DLC plans seven ways from Sunday in an attempt to salvage the game. Todd and company don't talk about it anymore and every time anybody brings it up it's to react only with scorn.

Not even the hardcore Bethesda fanboys can/want to defend Fallout 4, and that's really saying something.

REAL MEN CHOOSE INDEPENDENT AND CLAIM NEW VEGAS FOR THEMSELVES

RPGCodex is that-a-way

They don't really talk about any of their games post-final DLC. I don't think they care about their games post-final DLC.

Pillars pretty much proved that Ave was the best they had when, despite all of his work getting gutted, it still managed to be the best stuff in that game. I'm not foolish enough to think that he's the only person who held New Vegas' plot together, but losing him would be a massive blow regardless.

They cared enough about Skyrim to remaster it and bring it to the fucking Switch of all things. I get the impression they don't do that with Fallout 4 because nobody fucking liked it.

Todd himself admitted that the dialogue system was shit.
You're wrong, embed related

I mean now that the initial hype has died down. Even Mrmattyshills has come out and declared that Fallout 4 is flawed and that he was really biased initially, he had his last little hurrah with the whole 'Calling Fallout 4 a bad game is disrespectful' thing and was crucified for it.

They've pretty much got nothing now, not even the shills can say they consider it anything but 'fun yet flawed'. Which pretty much translates to 'utter shit'.

It's some accomplishment all right.

They cared enough about their best seller (23,270,000 units apparently) to try to make more money out of it.

And I bet they'll sell another 5 million units to the Nintendo fanbase over time because of it.

Up-scaling the textures with a program and tweaking the lighting isn't a remaster, Todd.

Is this the same fag who thinks FO3>NV?

...

The first webm upsets me how casually that he acted like Bethesda has defintively proven that truly understand Fallout.
The mp4 is pure butthurt and damage control.

Can it? It is just optimism to think that OpenMW flood the market superior games that steals the sales from Bethesda?

this makes me want to kill myself
