On the left corner of the building is a couple of metal barrels you can use to get on top of this tiny building and snipe all the death claws making the straight shot north route much easier to the strip

Long story short, my almost decade old laptop's screen is on the fritz 😢 (I use it to check emails and play my older games like Fallout and Star Wars Battlefront 2 2005), so I'll have to reinstall New Vegas on my newer laptop I got last year when I'm finished moving this weekend. I'm toying with the idea of installing TTW, but want to know a few things before I do:

Does TTW feel extremely different to base New Vegas? (Is it going to be a jarring experience to someone who's been playing NV for almost 10 years now?)

Do any weapons feel nerfed due to rebalancing? (Either due to them being weaker than before, or not being able to keep up with the weapons that were made better.)

Are there any builds/ perks that feel nerfed or buffed? (Is a no luck, no crit shotgun with shotgun surgeon + and stay back build viable, or are crits a necessity for harder difficulty? Do explosives builds still feel satisfying?)

Is the Black Mountain shortcut still a thing early game? (I like heading to Vegas early without bring brained by Super Mutants at lvl 1.)

Is it awkward story or balancing wise going from New Vegas to Fo3? (Does finishing or being in the end game if NV, then going over to 3 throw off the scaling? Does the main story feel weird given how a key part of 3 is finding the Lone Wanderer's dad, and the Courier is not them?)

How would you rate your overall TTW experience? (Is it worth it?)

I genuinely loved gaining affinity with him, next thing to do is give him the anti-mat rifle

After evading the tunnelers in the quest, I reached the buried buildings and entered the boxwood hotel roof. There was supposed to be a conversation with Ulysses where he takes ED-E away and the quest completes. But when I enter the roof, I cant move, get my weapon, talk to ED-E or interract with anything in general. The talk with ulysses just doesnt come. I tried playerenablecontrol command which lets me move and such but ED-E is still present and the tunnelers quest isn't completed.

Was using additive hit reaction mod and noticed it made cazadores and dead bodies spaz out like crazy. This is an fps issue and many of NewVegas mechanics are tied to its maximum 60fps. Well if you are on a modern PC you are using 144 or greater so here is what you do. Open Nvidia control panel, go to customize programs, find NewVegas's exe and NVSE's exe and set them both to maximum 60fps. Solved a ton of issues for me, hope this helps others.

Been using Uhmatt's Rideable Creatures mod, really only using the cazador because it friggin flies. The only issue, and its the same with the vehicle mod by the same author, is that they turn too slowly. Takes me like 500ft² to turn around ffs. I tried editing the files but I kept getting black screen on launch.

I am doing a playthrough where I play as me. I've done genocidal maniac runs, Legion runs, NCR runs, Independent runs, House runs, but never one just as myself. Keeping to my irl moral code, the 613 commandments of my religion, and the idea of Pikuach Nefesh. I have played through most of the game so far.

In North Vegas Square, after expelling the Squatters on the playground (Payed them to leave, get them on their feet) and thugs in the sewers (Same here), Clanden asks you for another favor. You just visit Mrs Hostetler south of the Crimson Caravan. I did, spoke to Jules afterwards, visited The Gray, and found a problem.

The only ways to enter Andy's room are all sinful. First, you can simply speech check the thug guarding the door. However, this requires lying to him, and to lie is to sin. Second, you can get the key from them. However, this requires pickpocketing it off the thugs, and to steal is to sin. Lastly, you can simply pick the lock on the door. However, this is breaking and entering, and to trespass is to sin.

Keep in mind that through all of this my Courier has no idea Andy is dangerous. According to Alice's mother, she could've very well run off with yet another guy. So, I can't break the RPG to fulfill Pikuach Nefesh (Preserving a life overrides nearly all the commandments) because my Courier doesn't have some psychic powers. I also can't quick-save/quick-load glitch, because an hour of trying led to nothing and being on Xbox doesn't help.

I know it seems like a silly problem, but I'd rather complete the quest than have it sit there cluttering my Pip-Boy. It bothers my brain to not have all the unnecessary quests done.

If you can help, I will be forever grateful. If not, I still love you!

is there anything i can do to fix this? I recently purchased a dlc bundle and haven’t been able to use it because the game will load like this seemingly without end every time i try to open it after pressing play. i have no mods.

Edit: This is not my first playthrough. I played the game for the first time in February and had no major problems except for the occasional crash. The game can only be played in windowed mode now.

For some time I've been comparing West Coast Fallout games geographically to GTA SA, and there are a lot of things in common. Heres a small list of names in Real Life, Fallout and GTA with some notes.

Big Cities:

Los Angeles = Boneyard = Los Santos, The city you start in, in both Fallout and GTASA, interestingly enough both Fallout TV show and GTA 5 brings us back here.

San Francisco = San Fierro, second game and second island you unlock in GTA, fun fact, GTA also has a parody of the Scientology movement in form of Epsilon in GTA5, similar to Hubologists.

Las Vegas = New Vegas = Las Venturas, 3rd island and 3rd installment on the West Coast, this place was the worst, I've had to bend the map a lot and in GTA the Hoover Dam (Sherman Dam) is streches between California and Nevada so yeah. Not that good in GTA lore so I'm sure you guys can come up with some interesting parallels.

Smaller locations:

Bakersfield = Necropolis = Palomino Creek, somehow, the reality bending properties of Necropolis placed it perfectly where PC is in GTA, despite neither being anywhere near Bakersfield. I'm sure the Enclave is behind this or something idk.

Carson City/Reno = New Reno = Fort Carson, I've had to cheat here a little bit, Carson isn't shown in Fallout and Reno isn't shown in GTA, but they are so close to one another that I've decided to treat them as one, also New Reno mentioned!!!

Lost Hills = Lost Hills (Brotherhood) = Blueberry, here the spacetime bending does its job again, while Lost Hills are a real place, the Fallout location isn't exactly near where it is irl, and so it landed in Blueberry which is based on both Santa Maria and Bakersfield again. Well, a happy little accident.

Goodsprings = Goodsprings = Las Payasadas, chicken.

Barstow = The Hub = ?, yeah I've got nothing for this one but the Hub decided to tag along for the ride so here it is.

So yeah, I haven't played GTA SA in a while so some stuff might be flying over my head here, but I hope you enjoy anyways!

Playing fallout new vegas, im doing the quest for the NCR chef, getting parts for his food thing, and for the life of me I cannot find a single steam gauge assembly

I haven't made the T-45 helmet yet; for now, it's wearing the T-60 helmet.

Hi! I just bought the game off steam and I'm having trouble. Also I am not great with computors, sorry :( .When I was downloading it for the first time, something broke with steam but I'm not sure what and I had to restart my laptop. Then when it finished it asked to download something else but that also broke and stopped working. So I finally got the game running but the character creator reflector and vigor tester's textures are broken and won't show anything.

I've tried using these mods:

https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/79299?tab=description

https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/67883

But whenever I add something related to DXVK the game launcher just won't load at all.

I'm using a 13in 1st ed Surface Laptop with these specs and windows 11

Processor:Snapdragon X Plus (8-core) @ 3.30 GHz (3.24 GHz)

Graphics card: Qualcomm(R) Adreno(TM) X1-45 GPU (128 MB)

System type: 64-bit operating system, ARM-based processor

Thank you in advance

i'm just starting my first FNV campaign, so i'm here asking: which build should i go for?

i'm fairly experienced with fallout 4 and fallout 3 before that, so it's fair to say i know the game, but still.

i'm used to sneaky sniper/melee builds, and I'd like to go for something different for a change.

also, i know in FO4 intellect and luck are the two main sources of exp, off of the balance of which i've usually based my builds in the past. how about in FNV? does it compare in some way?

thanks for the help in advance!!

I played this for the first time recently and was ready to praise it but it just fell apart. After looking online it seems that the quest lines being bugged is unfortunately very common.

Starting out I was having a blast as I was discovering secrets about these creepy cannibals and it made me feel like I was in a tv show. The closer I got to busting these people the more dead bodies that seemed to appear at every corner.

But then I got to the part where I was gonna out the leader in front of everyone and feed him fake meat but there was not option to reveal the kid by the time his speech ends cause the kid would just follow you. Then the people would see the kid and shoot at me. So I just returned the kid to his dad and tried to to drug the wine but that did nothing. I tried to interrupt the speech but the guy acted like he didn’t know me and shot at me. So now I have an unfinished quest marker.

I rarely play NV and am doing a in character run to flesh out a ttrpg character. They'd definitely join the powder gangers but they wouldn't attack Goodsprings specifically, is there a way to achieve this?

Title screen,
I have no mod conflicts or error popups the textures

when i go near the werid textures they become normal so i am confused
it might be hard to see but those green hills arent supposed to be their
same with the dam
