Fallout: New Vegas

I would really love to have the time to play this again with all of the best mods and DLC. The Fallout series have still been some of my favourite titles in recent years.
 
New Vegas is an awesome game. Even minor faction quests are intricate, well designed and offer options for several character builds. Like this one.

Pacifism is also viable approach in the game, outside of the DLCs anyway.
 
Nearing the end of Fallout 3 so thought I would look at buying this. I was looking at ultimate version and its still almost full price!

Is the ultimate version worth the extra over the vanilla?


If its half as good as fallout 3 though its worth it.

I hate to answer a question with another question, but what do you look for in an RPG?

OTT answer coming up .... I wouldnt say I look for anything specific, the RPG's I had been playing were the general dungeons/dragons type games. I liked the idea of fallout 3 (as a fan of stalker) but I was busy playing WoW at the time so never played it when it first came out.

Cata put me off WoW so I thought I would play try fallout 3. This was last November.
I bought the GOTY edition and new It would be a better game graphically with some mods. (I played Oblivion from release, and I knew It got better and better with mods as I neared completion)

As I was late to fallout3 I thought I would try a premodded version which I did. It was hard as hell at first but now I'm pretty harcore and looking forwards to the end :)

I think with the mods Fallout 3 is the best game I have ever played, and I'm no spring chicken.

my last save is 109 hours :)

And here are my mods. (some quests I have ignored cos they are poo)

Hmm... well, I would say NV's strengths are the characters\quests\factions and the implementation of choice & consequence. The setting's pretty decent as well, including the way towns, merchants etc are integrated (the majority of the towns bear a strong resemblance to their real life counterparts). The gameplay's a tweaked version of what was in Fallout 3, although there's far more to do for varying character builds. It's possible to avoid combat altogether.
 
The DLC are regarded as great.

Fallout NV is my preferred game, it's much better story wise than FO3. And modding support has shifted towards NV a lot more.

It can be a bit empty but it's Nevada after a nuclear holocaust, so it's to be expected. :p

Never tried any of the DLC, maybe I should.
 
i keep falling in and out of this game, im finding it a real struggle to get anywhere though. i seem to be permanently low on ammo or decent weapons and just get mauled by anyone i try to attack.
would love some simple pointers to make it less of a struggle tbh :D

Craft your own ammo. It is essential!

Pick up all of the lead and stuff you can find, and also breakdown ammo you will not use in order to make ammo for your main weapons.

And put at least a few points/perks in to repair

Did you do the tutorial? Sunny gives you a basic rifle and ammo free. Oh, and lockpicks.
 
Hi Guys

I am sorry but I do not have time to read though endless pages, i have bought standard Fallout LV and am thoroughly enjoying it but i have been reading about mods and extra content/fixes, what basic mods would you guys recommend, I don’t mind the UI but a mini map be nice, looks good and my PC is handling it at full without issues so making it sparkle is an option oh moving/running faster would be great lol

basically any advice or hints
I have got used to the "vanilla" flavour but if I can make it more fun why not

all advice appreciated :)
