Fallout: New Vegas

[Mati]

 

Lonesome Road is out now on xbla. Damn, I have to wait till Saturday. At least a few more days to prepare myself.

I'm going to stay away from this topic, I don't want to get anything spoiled.

don't blame you. We all remember the LA Noire topic.

 

And i'm grabbing that badboy after the gym! Talking of which, Cya!

The worst thing was that someone spoiled me the ending in a GTA V topic..

Remember to use spoiler tags!

[Slingaa]

Just got some from school and downloading now. I'll try and finish it by tonight, I'll tell you guys how it is with spoiler tags, obviously.

Don't rush it on our accounts. It's the last one, take your time and enjoy it.

I second that

 

So u have to dismiss companions before starting any dlc, do they keep whatever items I give them or shall I dart over to nova and keep em safe?

I'm steaming through it on one of my characters and going through slow on the ultimate character I'm making on the 27th (Lonesome Road perks and Gun Runners Arsenal weapons).

 

Finished it now, I was a bit disappointed.

Bravo, Slingaa, it was example of perfect spoiler tag

I thought I might aswell spoiler tag it, doesn't make much a difference to you does it?

[Moonshield]

I can't help but think, considering you got it just today, that you wiped through it and missed a sh*t ton of stuff - considering how rich OWB was in lore and gadgets and stuff. No wonder you were disappointed.

[Icarus]

I did the first "playthrough" on New Vegas on hardcore mode as I mentioned a couple pages back. It was just basically to try and get through hardcore mode as quickly as possible, so there was not really any deviation from the main quests.

 

Now that I've done the bare minimum on hardcore mode, I'm going to start a new file and actually take it slow and do all the side quests and really explore the map. I'm also going to take a different route when I get to The Strip this time to see how it changes gameplay.

Having fun on Lonesome Road, but the Divide feels a lot more claustrophobic than the Big MT did. I mean, yeah, it's supposed to feel that way, but that doesn't make it any more comfortable.

 

Loving the gear, though. So fun to kill a few Marked Ones next to one of the terminals, loot their armor, then turn around and sell each piece for 800-1000 caps. Then there's the US Army General armor, I'll definitely be holding onto it for quite a while:

 

[Robinski]

Please tell me the scarf (technically a shemagh) is part of that General Armour and not one of your fancy PC mods.

 

So pissed that I can't get a hold of this until my student loan comes through. Becoming a responsible person and having to plan for bills and sh*t sucks.

Sorry .

 

Atleast it looks like the Waster's Scarf mod.

I think it's one of the scarves from the Satchels 'n Stuff mod, but I'm not sure.

Lonesome road looks really rather good.

[Robinski]

Nevermind eh?

I thought it'd be a mod after seeing a similar one in a screenshot ages ago, and being disappointed upon finding out it was a mod.

[Fireman]

 

 

Also crashes every 10 seconds at the moment, pissing me off.

How many do you have? I was considering using nVamp, but it looks like most of the mods on that are now out of date. At some point I'm going to delete and reinstall my copy of NV, set everything back up properly (inc. custom mods) and see if that fixes the intermittent crashing issues.

The limit is like 255 .esps

 

So take in account that I have around half my esp´s not active, I have around 500 in total.

 

And I can´t merge any of them because they´re all not compatible -.- One .esp can equal just one gun, so I turned most of those individual mods off.

I found that using an Anti-Material rifle against Legate Lanius is more effective than using a CZ-57, Gatling Laser + Mods, Alien Blaster and Annabelle. Was pretty surprised when I used it as a last resort against him and literally destroyed him.

The sheer quantity of mods I suggest is what is causing your problems. Once you get past around 20 or so large or significant ESM/ESP files, they become increasingly likely to interfere with each others operation, overwrite necessary parts of each others form lists and generally cause a bit of a hassle. Something as simple as running WME and WMX at the same time is potentially game-breaking, let alone 253 other modifications. With the number you've got, I would hazard a guess that a significant portion of them are doing literally nothing (their lists and setting having been overwritten by others in the mod order) apart from bringing up conflicts that cause the game to crash.

 

My advice would be- wipe your entire mod database, re-install NV and start again. I had the crash-every-10-seconds issue with FO3 due in part to the sheer quantity of modifications I had installed, and that sorted it right out for me.

 

Alternatively, post up your mod list from FOMM and I'll see what I can advise you get rid of/stop using together.

Bingo. The outfit looks great with or without it, though.

That's not all that true, the only thing I noticed that doesn't do anything anymore is Animated Indigestibles. Some weapon locations might not work, but I always use console commands instead of searching for the weapons anyway.

 

Also it doesn't literally crash every 10 seconds

 

Mostly during area transitions or while loading the environment (like when you sprint forward, it takes too long too load the environment and it crashes). Probably has to do with Detailed Normals and NMC's Texture Pack.

It's not the loading times that cause it to crash- when it hangs on fast travel or when entering a new area, it tends to be because the form lists that are applied across that area (such as the traders lists, loot lists or randomly generated objects) are conflicting somewhere along the lines.

 

-EDIT-

 

I'm rebuilding my mod DB at the moment. So far-

 

1) Enhanced Shaders

2) Imaginator

3) Nevada Skies

4) Electro City

5) Ojo Bueno

6) FOOK

7) Classic Fallout Weapons

8) Weapon Mod Expansion

9) Satchels n' Stuff

10) Mad Science

11) AG Melee Mods

12) AG Supplementary Uniques

13) Grenade Hotkey

 

And some custom self-made bits. Any advice on what else I should add?

Only played Lonesome Road for like an hour or so and just entered the Divide (Spoiler tag?) and i really cant understand why you would be disappointed with this game, eventhough i havent played for long the story is really good... Imma stop now before i say something and spoil everything

I'm still stranded in Zion! Haha getting my arse handed to mr by Yao guis

What's the best tactic/weapon for them? stealth sniping them works ok, but when there's more then one or they survive the initial shot....

Hunting or Riot shotgun with Magnum buck, or Thermic Lance if you want to get really close and personal.

New Vegas Restoration is a must, but I would personally recommend steering clear of the Sierra Madre On The Strip version. It's kind of cool at first, but it's buggy, it doesn't make a lot of sense, and it causes massive framerate drops. There's also Freeside Restoration, I've been meaning to install it but I keep putting it off.

 

The only other mods I have installed that make a significant impact (that you'd probably be interested in, at least) are Gun Runners Expanded and a nice little beginner's quest called After School Special, which lets you restore the school house in Goodsprings and set it up as a safehouse, including two new characters with superb voice acting.

Got that on one the list. Cheers!

 

I'm currently building a mod that introduces a new gauss rifle (based on a hacked-up STALKER model mixed with bits of standard NV models) into the game. Thinking of setting it up as a semi-quest, where you find the instructions and parts needed to construct it, its ammo and its mods around the wasteland in places where they might end up (Gibson scrap yard, BoS bunker, Victor's Shack, HELIOS One et cetera). One problem is I've never found a decent guide for inserting objects into the game via the GECK- every time I've done anything before, I've put them inside containers or in people's inventories 'cos I've never worked out how to place them on shelves and the like. Anyone got any idea?

Son of a whore, walked into the Cave of the Damned and got my ass absolutely handed to me.

 

Protip: when you get the Flare Gun, use it. f*cking thing will save your ass against Tunnelers and Death Claws (the latter especially, God damn it is useful against Deathclaws).

[darthYENIK]

Just started a new game. I forgot how awesome this game is.

[Robinski]

First of two pieces released by Bethesda regarding the contents of Gun Runners' Arsenal.

FAT-MINES.

[Pat]

Am I the only person that hasn't been able to get the portable bedrolls to work? It tells me I'll start sleeping as soon as I close the Pip-Boy, but nothing ever happens. Kind of annoying, since the damn things weigh fifteen pounds a piece and are, as of yet, absolutely useless.

Mad Science is a great mod.

 

You should get RobCo Certified with it, then you can build and repair your own robots, it's awesome.

 

Here are some suggestions:

 

- Playable Ghoul (there's only one on Nexus which is imo the best)

- Tailor Maid NV, is a must have in my opinion for creating unique characters.

 

- High Desert Tactical Gear Shop

- Spetznaz Armor

- Pipe Rifle and other junk weapons (the best thrash weapons in my opinion)

- Homemade Grenades

- Wasteland Pack (it's from modgames.net, the Russian nexus, it contains 8 melee junk weapons, don't trust it? Then don't download it )

- Bingles melee complete
