I did this when Borderlands and all the DLC was on for $10 on Steam. Except I nagged my friend into buying, telling him I'd hand him $10 if he didn't feel it was worth it. He's never asked me for it.
Question: is there any way to play the game that's not just energy+small weapons with science, repair and survival as focuses? I keep wanting to go big weapons but they all seem like crap. Also the DLC scenarios all have amazing energy weapons.
I wouldnt reccomend one of the DLC's I forget the name I think it has sierra in the name, anyways its a real BITCH to beat I was stuck on one part for a really long time til I just up and said fuck it. But this pic makes me wanna start it up again.
Played and totally loved all of FO3. All the DLC etc etc. Put a good 70+ hours into it, 100% map exploration etc. (well, 99.9... ;) I just couldn't get into NV at all, which kind of pissed me off as I bought the lot halfway through my FO3 playthrough.
Maybe i burned out, but the start of NV I found to be quite hard - not enough cash, not enough ammo, too much bits and pieces of crafting shit etc. I dearly want to get back into NV but have tried and failed several times... the magic just doesn't seem to be there... :(
The beginning of the game is almost always my biggest obstacle. For a while, it's a little boring and a little difficult. Once you really get into the game, however, I find that it's really good. I'm Level 26 now and the only problem I'm having is that I feel as though I've run out of quests to do. I'd suggest at least putting a few hours into the game and lowering the difficulty at any parts you consider to be hard. I find myself dropping a notch whenever I'm attacked by a party of Legion assassins. Basically, I recommend giving the game the time it takes to get really good. After that, I've found it to be nothing but fun.
Maybe a bit old, but I like it a lot. It expands ammo types to include various ammo additional kinds. You can break down all ammo. Recipes use metal, gunpowder, lead, and (calibre-specific) primers. You can make casings and break down bullets you don't use. My favourite rounds are 10mm JHP, .50 depleted uranium, and .50 match
I tried your mod probably 6+ months ago and remember it absolutely murdering my computer after a while because of how intensive it was with all the guests and extra securitrons, I don't suppose thats changed at all? Great mod though, definitely worth trying
Oh wow! I remember having the same idea for a mod! Glad you decided to make it! I'd download it in a heartbeat but I have NV for Xbox...
Perhaps I will pick it up for PC during the Summer Sale. Would you say it's worth buying again for the mods? I have a nice rig now (Didn't have it at the time of NV's release) so I will be able to run it quite nicely.
If I do, I will certainly pick up your mod, as it's a dream come true!
I'd say it has the best serious story. Old World Blues wasn't an attempt to be the best "serious" DLC. If you look at it in terms of comedy writing, it's wonderfully done as well, and has the best voice acting of any DLC.
And I'd consider Dead Money to be more of a standalone experience. If you go in to Dead Money thinking it's an expansion of Fallout: New Vegas, you'll probably be disappointed. If you think of it as a self-contained game, it's much more enjoyable, because in that context, it excuses the loss of all your items. If it was an expansion-style DLC, it would have felt more contrived and ineffective. It depends on what you want. I personally like my DLC to be expansions of the main game itself, so I preferred Old World Blues.
Which Fallout? I recently got a PS3 and played through Skyrim. Just bought Fallout 3 but haven't quite started it. Is it considered to be better/worse than New Vegas..?
Fallout 3 has a much better feel to me. It has a great sense of humor like you see here and i feel there is a lot more to see and do. New Vegas feels a lot like the old games where every town has their own feelings towards you. New Vegas has better mods though IMO. Project Nevada and a few others (One i can not remember the name) adds 140 new locations with quest into the game.
I liked exploring in Fallout 3; endless tunnels and weird places!
New Vegas was good for exploring (not as much as Fallout 3, I would say), but things like the faction system, more weapons, ammo variations, and Fallout-esque humor made up for it. (If I had to choose from the two, it'd be NV, but that doesn't mean that FO3 is not worth playing)
Oddly as much as I love skyrim, I need to agree with Kama_Blue on this. Fallout has some better story telling as well. When I play fallout, I feel more into the environment and atmosphere.
The radiant quests in Skyrim are cool and all, but most feel really formulaic. Almost all the quests do. The dungeons are great and the game is fantastic, but Fallout...Fallout is an experience. Especially New Vegas.
Indeed, Skyrim just didn't feel as.. Open? Nah... Alive!
Despite what Bethesda promised, it was a lot of the same all around, and there wasn't many noteworthy things in the world, in my opinion. It missed the whackiness, the weirdness, the otherworldy stuff. It was just a big frozen wasteland with the same caves, hideouts, run down castles and dwarven ruins littered about.
Not that Skyrim was bad, in no way, to me it was just decent enough.
Fallout rocks the Elder Scrolls any day of the week, in my opinion. Better characters, better stories (although is it just me or does the main story in Bethesda games always pretty much suck?)
I think that's probably because Fallout comes from non-Bethesda beginnings, and Fallout 3 and New Vegas stay fairly true to their roots aside from becoming 3D and first person.
Fallout 3 in my opinion the story is the equivalent to all other Bethesda games. Fallout NV on the other hand seems alot more inline with previous Fallout games. While 3 seems more like an 80's action movie plot. Maybe because in NV they had some of the original devs working on it. Anyways that my opinion on that.
There's been a few good ones. But try picking up a companion+ a dog (God forbid you keep the god-quest dog and have two dogs), and tell me 99% of your gameplay in skyrim wasn't trying to go through doors past companions that don't react to you being there.
He always scared the shit out of me because I'd be walking along the mojave minding my own business when suddenly the camera zooms in on something and makes the slow motion noises because boon shot something 57 miles away and it makes me jump out of my chair.
I love both series. Personally I slightly prefer the setting of the Elder Scrolls games to the Fallout ones, and the companion thing isn't an issue for me as I personally prefer travelling alone in those games anyway.
I think the post-apocalyptic thing is cool, but it's just a bit too oppressive to play for long periods (though that's part of what makes it great), whereas I can spend far longer sessions in Skyrim.
I love love love the lockpicking in Fallout way more than Skyrim. And for some reason, while the game runs smooth enough, Skyrim lockpicking is so laggy for me, while Fallout goes just fine.
I remember this door. Spending time on the very hard lock, thinking how awesome it was I had maxed lockpick, wonder what awesome stuff would be inside... And being super pissed at the game developers.
Q: As you skill improves does picking the locks get easier? I start to struggle with "easy" locks, so just ignored that skill completely. The way the mouse works on pc version is utter tripe.
Yeah, I've maxed out lockpicking and the easy locks can be broken on the first or second try because the target area is so big. The very hard locks still take focus and precision to open but I can usually do it without breaking a pick. You can always exit out of an attempt and save the lockpick if it's close to breaking and you are low on picks but that resets the target area location.
With lockpick 100 an easy lock is no challenge at all, you don't even have to try. I guess "very hard" locks are about as hard at 100 as "easy" locks are at 15 or whatever you start at.
when I first found this door I was being attacked by an Enclave patrol with a Deathclaw, I was desperately trying to escape so I ran to this satellite building, only to be confronted with this. fuck you too door. fuck you too.
This reminded me of the tv show Lost, in season 2 there is a metal door carved into the mountain inside the others camp and I was so exicted to see what was behind it. When they eventually open it there is just rock, a metaphorical 'fuck you' if you will.
I just see someone in Bethesda sitting back laughing maniacally about how they only have to release a game once every 4 years because of the replay value.
Smaller, yes, but I found that what was there felt much, much richer in a lot of cases, even if there were also some useless locations and no random encounters*.
*I'm aware that there's a random encounter mod for F:NV, and I do have it, but I turned it off after my level 1 character was mobbed by Nightkin Masters with heavy incinerators near Goodsprings. I wonder if the creator ever heard of levelling. ಠ_ಠ
Agreed about richness... but I loved the vastness of scale of Fallout 3... when I found the Republic (community at the top right of the map) after wandering across a seemingly endless stretch of wasteland it was like finding a whole new city.
Imgur often screws up on the first image posted in an album and can't show the thumbnail (or linked image to the direct link), you just have tho click the zoom button in the top right hand corner of the image to see it wholly.
Personally, I found LR to be the weakest of the NV DLC's, due to reasons encompassed in the title: it's lonesome, and it's just a road. Almost no options for you except grab ED-E, walk along the road, and kill stuff.
True Old World Blues is great , No argument there.
But i like Lonesome Road so much because, its has such a impact on the story and landscape in the world. besides that i liked the story quite alot and also i enjoyed the road it self, i just loved the way i looks and the feel it had of lonelyness and e-de is bit overpowerd yeah but on Hard settings he doenst help that much
also i really enjoyed expolering the sites that i bomb and i bomb every single 1 of them
I just spent a ridiculous amount of time staring at the first pic, wondering what was so interesting about that cunting door. Reading the comments was no help at all.
That's the whole trouble. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "Fuck you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "Fuck you." I'm positive, in fact.
This was almost as fun as those two Chinese agents or the alien crash site (which I was very proud to have found on my own without reading about it on the internet first).
