/fog/ - Fallout General

NVSE
YUP Patch
Project Nevada (If you want it to play more 'modern')
Sexout

I'm very aware of that.

Yeah I was hoping there'd be a really nice overhaul by now that made everyone less of a bullet sponge.

I'm curios about this as well. What other mods are good in conjunction with horizon to provide a more rounded realistic/brutal experience?

>Strict Carry Limit
Link to this?

It's in the options when you install horizon.

>Todd edition

Did anyone else get the impression of Fallout 3 that Bethesda couldn't be arsed and just made a wasteland around the location of their offices?

>Listen, guys! We god the rights to the Fallout franchise!
>What setting should we use?
>*Todd looks out of the window*
>I dunno, that. whatever. Take some tourist brochures and go walk around the neighborhood or something.

Got anything for just a perk overhaul? PIPBOI got discontinued, Nuclear Perks is made by Darren, Perkwork could have been the holy grail but is discontinued and you only have a 50% chance of starting your game.

Horizon does too many things. Not sure about WNC though.

Not really. The vanilla perk options blow, and I've yet to see one that makes them not suck shit. I'm using a few of the options from Makanar's Perk Options and Gunplay (Automatic Weapon Perks Rebalanced), those are more for making the perks slightly more appealing shades of brown if anything.

If there IS a good perk overhaul, I would love to know about it, but last time I looked there wasn't anything great. Maybe I'll look again.

How low a level should I start doing the New Vegas DLC's?

If you go through them in release order, then if you can survive Dead Money, you'll be at the appropriate level for the rest. I've actually noticed that having too high a level makes Honest Hearts ridiculous. You'll be swarmed by naked crazies with kevlar skin who will blow your head off with 50cal weapons.

I'm speccing my character with survival so maybe I'll could go as low as, level 7. I kind of want to do them earlier rather than later

How immersive is Horizon's combat? Are humans gonna survive 2+ headshots? I know the game is more about tactical pacing over raw damage when it comes to combat balance, but HOW resilient are you?

I think the biggest hurdle of DM is crippled limbs. You don't get to bring your own doctor bags and I don't think there are many of the stuff necessary to craft poultice or hydra. There might be for weapon binding ritual. I don't remember. I went in with science and medical last time and I could make my own doctor's bags.

What?

Hey /fog/, I originally posted in the previous thread how I dislike the NCR Ranger Combat armor (mainly the helmet), and implied it was overrated. I also mentioned that I liked the Merc Charmer Outfit (because it was a good balance of sleek, sexy, and functional). Anyway, reading through the previous thread I noticed a lot of later posts that had Riot Gear, or Ranger Armor, and the like, someone would immediately reply to it saying Merc Charmer Outfit "was better", and even at one point copied my description about it. Why this person would be false-flagging my obviously minority opinion I don't understand, unless he was so butthurt that I have a differing opinion than he.

YUP, obviously
A UI mod for the dialogue menu
NVAC
Distance Gunfire Sound Fix
No Ambient Crowd Noise
Less Intrusive Kill Camera
Improved LOD Noise Texture
>personally consider essential but these are optional
The Strip Open
Outside Bets
Enhanced Camera
Clean McCarran
Red Rock Canyon Bridge / VenomPass.esp (this one you need to clean the ESP in GECK though)
Oven Cooking

Pariah Dog from Fallout 2. Anti-Dogmeat. Gives you the Jinxed perk and lowers your LUCK to 1 whilst alive.

>Companion that gives you Jinxed

That's the cruelest part of the joke. Jinxed is extremely funny, except if you have companions. Because all they end up doing is wasting your time and accidentally attacking you.

Fucking Hermit Crabs

>half of the entirety of DC is shitty underground subways while the other half is that giant mess of a capital building and Bethesda hq
Yup. Fallout 3 had some problems.

That many accessible subway tunnels doesn't even make sense because two centuries of zero maintenance in a sub-river tunnel network would result in very flooded tunnels.

Well, at least the water would be pretty clean, because all you need for removing radioactive particles from water is a bunch of soil to filter it through. oh wait...

id consider new vegas remodeled

really it helps a lot with some stupid rubber sextoy faces like byrd and cass

also there's even an essential TTW day 1 mod list?

i've re installed this shit here to play with the RipFo4s made by dragbody and i fucking forgot which goes where

youtube.com/watch?v=0hFYH5wDO-k

Don't get it

Is this a decent mod for roleplaying or are there better options?

What do you guys think of Jsawyer? I was about to do play through with it

A must-have for me.

I don't personally use it because back in the day JSawyer.esp would not work well, even with just YUP, it was a bit on the crashy side. So I wound up using my own modification using PN as a base (I know, Project Nevada is pleb central, but it has a lot of built in stuff so it's a convenient streamlined package). I have looked at this "JSUE" a bit, but it seems to adds a lot of random optional things I'm not necessarily a fan of. I do like it's basic premise, about adding JSawyer's rebalance via scripts to make it more compatible with other mods. But it does seem big and fluffy, and I've already been through that bs with PN so I'm not ready to commit to another overhaul tweaking session anytime soon.

I disagree about character overhauls, I think they are all garbage. Hi-res eyes, Hair normalmap fixes for the saran-wrap shine, and better skin and face textures improves NPCs a ton, especially with improved lighting. In any case visual stuff I don't consider real essentials (the LOD noise texture is the only one I consider essential, and that's because it's very subtle but is a marked improvement on the distant landscape from vanilla).

No homo, but Greg Sestero is cute as fuck. Also who the fuck cares about some jewtube "gamers" getting trolled?

>>still feel like my game is less modded
Thats because Fallout 4 is less modded, despite having more mods, because most mods just add more weapons/armor, since no one has the need to make many big mechanical based mods, since Fallout 4 already has most of the big mechanics mods from Fo3/NV in its base game and DLC.

dude, vanilla NV loses only to oblivion in terms of Ugly character faces

>They are different, but they don't look or sound different,
Except the Commonwealth Super Mutants look very different, especially the ace, which isn't stuck in a permanent snarl like the V87 super mutants.

> you're retarded if you think the institute captured literally thousands of people and turned them into muties for no good reason, then set them loose
It wasn't done for no good reason you stupid cunt.

It was done to perfect an FEV strain to use on their super human synths,m and as a means to create weapons to keep the surface too busy to attack The Institute directly.

Shaun himself states the reason why The Institute messes with the surface, despite also claiming to not really care about what the surfacers do, is because the people of the surface could become a threat, and only a fool keeps his eyes closed to possible threats.

I think the NPCs in NV are better than vanilla FO3 myself. Also hi-res eyes and decent skin and normalmap/specular texture goes a surprisingly long way. Most character overhauls wind up changing NPC races, get over-detailed, and add more than simply "improving" the "potato faces". Of the main characters, NV isn't that bad, Boone and Veronica are the only really ugly ones, but in general people look alright (especially with improved eyes and skin textures as I've said).

I'm saying this as someone who was a fan of Project Beauty in FO3, too. That in FO3 was much more minimal but greatly improved looks; I hoped there would be one similar in NV, but all the character overhaul mods in NV just got way too big and beyond the general scope in my opinion (although I stopped looking after settling on skin textures).

Ghouls look way different in FO4, too. I would consider it more a stylistic choice rather than evidence of the groups being specifically different (although I do agree that most of the FO4 Super Mutants are probably Institute created and culturally different from the DC ones).

>nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/56312/?

I use this image as a counter-argument. Fuck that, the mod is shit.

NONE of my scripts will compile, even the vanilla ones give me the same error.
"Unable to locate script ObjectReference"
Any help?

What fucking game? What shit mods did you install? Did you fuck with the GECK/CK? Blah blah blah stop being a fucking retard and figure it out.

I like the unladylike cut but don't know why he put it on Red Lucy.

I've honestly been using NVR3 because it does seem to improve most of the game, but I'm also using FNVedit to "fix" a lot of the dumb shit the author did.

He took the welding mask off of Cook-Cook.

Removed Cass' hat and Veronica's hood.

And then Red Lucy there looks nothing like the original, so I've actively gone in and made changes where applicable.

Supposedly a majority of these fucktarded decisions boil down to the author's misguided belief that "characters whose faces you can't see aren't memorable".

The Ultimate Edition of Jsawyer looks bad honestly. Im just using the default version.

>install Natural and Atmospheric Commonwealth
>leave vault 111
>instantly assaulted by giant explosion lightning red-themed radstorm that gave me at least 700 rads by the time I reached codsworth

cass hat change is stupid, and no one gives a fuck to veronica, really there should be an option where you simply ignore her existence

also, yeah i hated the change on red lucy, though i hated only the hair change, the face finally looks something credible, atleast FNVedit exists to change it back to normal

the only reason that i dont use FCO any longer is because drumber made cass look like an alien with the pointed chin and Ayyylmao look

What looks "bad" about it?

I haven't had an issue with it and I've been running it for my latest playthrough. A lot of the stuff it adds seems like fairly natural stuff by extension.

I can't find Manny after I found all the party logs in that unmarked quest in fo3.
Is there some console command to find him?

(You)
When the dude has fans like these, you sort of come to understand the sort of people he's pandering to and why he feels it's okay to make those sorts of changes as opposed to simply improving the looks of the character and keeping them recognizable.

How did they end up even worse than original?

Who uses PIPBOI here?

speaking of Drumber and dracomies retard changes on Cass, i've ended up finding the "perfect look" that honors both concept art and game cass, but is suck in skyrim as Sabrina companion mod

id be glad if there's a way to RIP the face and port into NV, because Facegen Modeler sucks balls for it

>Finally buy this game
>Download finishes
>Restart Steam later on
>Fucking 60GB High Res DLC starts automatically downloading
I should stop it, but I can't bring myself to do it.
How the fuck can they justify 60 fucking GBs though.

...

and i tell you to shove it

vanilla cass looks like the elephant man

even fallout 3 which uses the same shit as oblivion managed to make some characters look good

...

>vanilla cass looks like the elephant man
No, she's absolutely fine.

actually she looks like a fat guy

What mod turns the Mojave desert into an extreme survival sim?

I'm looking for dehydration at peak hours of the day, being forced to scrounge cactus for water, next to no stims, food scarcity, etc.

Skyrim spoiled me with its massive number of survival sim mods, and after all these years the desert seems tiny and easily traversable.

That's not Cass, that's a fucking model from Victoria's Secret. Fuck off.

How do you refill bottles in Horizon?

better have than the shit that obsidian did to new vegas facegen character

NAME 15 CHARACTERS BESIDES LUCY, BOONE AND ARCADE that it doesn't look like shit

The doctor and bartender from Goodsprings. Caesar. The owners of the Primm Casino.

You just happen to have shit tastes. Fuck off.

SHIT TASTES FOR TELLING THE TRUTH?

FUCK OFF YOU REDDITAN DIPSHIT

Vicious Wastes; Painful Injuries; BLEED

Realistic Wasteland Lighting Enhanced will have weather related buffs/debuffs when it's unhidden/updated on Nexus, too

>All caps
>"Redditan dipshit"

Le fuck off and le never come back, then.

>Going around as kenshiro punching bandits.

>Suddenly this.

What is wrong with your faaaaaaaaaace?!

Pretty sure Obsidian just went in and hit "random" on the facegen for some (read: most) of the NPC's they made

There's a lot of ugly in Fallout 3 but you won't find anything that looks that goobered up

Is FO4 survival actually fun or is it just tedious?

vicious wastes has nothing of that. it only has incoherent debuffs

To be fair though i'm playing as someone who looks like this.

Can people stop recommending vicious wastes. it s a terrible mod

This

>finally got to load order F4

But I have so many more mods to install. I really don't want to have to go through and start using plugin merger.

Is it worth it?

>Pretty sure Obsidian just went in and hit "random" on the facegen for some (read: most) of the NPC's they made
That's generally how it goes. Outside of main quest NPCs and a few important side characters they're all RNG'd into existence. No real need to expend resources on shit people are going to run by and forget.

>sanctuary hills under attack
>random settler whips out a minigun and starts mowing down mutants

Haven't played new vegas in a while any new noteworthy mods?

but boone looks like a downy

yup got updated, theres an EVE type mod that works well with it called EXE

youtube.com/watch?v=RwyLbX4uOS0

Boone's pretty ugly without his shades and beret, though (like Vulpes, they suffer the potato face, but their voices and personalities really make them attractive). Anyway, you want 15 decent looking NPCs from vanilla? Ok.

Trudy, Sunny Smiles, Doc Mitchell, Ringo, Beagle, Eddie, Samuel Cooke, Major Knight, Elder McNamara, Gloria Van Graff, Mr. Fantastic, Jack & Diane, Jules, Emily Ortal.

>yfw the settler took it from your big loot storage

i thought they couldn't take items from the workshop storage?

they can take shit from anywhere even if its console locked

they will fucking teleport in, apparently though storing the ammo seperately from the weapons works the same way as taking the fusion cores out of your power armor and they can't use them

They can.

Fun with the Survival Options mod. Assuming it doesn't conflict with any of your other mods (like overhauls), it lets you customize a lot of the shit in Survival and change things you find tedious (like sleeping bags only letting you sleep 3 hours).

I've had settlers steal my giant stash of 55000 .308 rounds on multiple occasions. My solution on this new game I'm doing will be to live in seclusion with all of my stuff, only using a provisioner robot to keep me linked to settlements.

why is there no funny shit like this fo4
its all just quips and memes

because low INT gamers is where all the money is

Anyone excited for Cascadia?

why is noone making the concept raider armor reeeeeeeeeeeeeee

fucking modders keep making shit modern tacticool gear and its gay as fuck

because the only thing that gets downloads are slutwear and tactishit

I honestly have no clue, man. I personally love the post-apocalyptic improvised aesthetic but for some reason so many folk seem to prefer sleek carbon black finishes on all their shit.

has anyone mad a mod that renames t-60 to t-48? or just removes it?

I think the assumption that all modders only produce work for downloads is a bit of a shallow analysis of a group's character..

While I'm sure we all know two individuals that do, many folks like Buffscale make mods to satiate their desires for things that don't exist in the base game.

It's far more reasonable IMO that people have a taste in aesthetics that isn't the same as ours, which seems to be a minority opinion.

So, if Fo3 and NV + morrowind are receiving the CK4 treatment due to Bnet mod cloud soon, if what they said on twitch stream is true

Which are the chances that bethesda will probably FO4 PA system into both games but making it scarce?

to repair a PA frame into full function you will need to scavenge on late game or do Anchorage SIM
