Finna finally start this, what are some fantastic mods?

>Finna
no niggers allowed

Just remember to not bother using shotguns. They are fucking terrible. Sell shotguns you find and breakdown their ammo to use for better weapons.

If he is one then he'd be too dumb to mod FNV anyway. Probably a wigger.

they're not bad if you take the right perks, the knockdown is pretty useful and shotgun surgeon negates like 10 or 15 points of DT or something

NVSR is outdated. New Vegas Tick Fix is a more modern implementation that actually works on Windows 10. Also the Viva New Vegas guide is helped in that its updated to even the last couple of months in its Core, Gameplay, and Graphics sections. Least the Github redo that is. vivanewvegas.github.io/index.html

stop making retarded useless posts.

Are you retarded? Shotguns were at their fucking best in New Vegas. The shell types let you adapt to just about anything, and the Hunting Shotgun with the choke and tube gave you 8 shots before a reload with a spread reliable enough to nail mid-range buckshot headshots quite easily.

And as said the two perks for them turn Shotguns into damn good crowd control and killers. Best paired with explosives personally.

Play it Vanilla first.

don't play it vanilla first, just don't install anything that changes the gameplay

there is no reason to skip QoL mods like tick fix or unofficial patch or simple saves

FYI for anyone, the unoffical patch is Yukichigai's. Mission Mojave has been depreciated for years now.

I tried using a hunting shotgun on tunnelers. it did 5% damage to their healthbars even with a close range headshot. I was even using 4/0 buck mag rounds. Tunnelers have just 5 DT, and that was enough to destroy the effectiveness of an ammo type that is suppose to somewhat negate DT.

>use shotgun surgeon, slugs or flechettes

I tried again after applying shotgun surgeon. It was barely any better even though there was now no DT mitigation in play. I therefore doubt slugs or flechette rounds would have helped either. What did shred those tunnelers real good was the assault carbine with JSP ammo, though.

Shotguns have just one niche, which is to use them with the And Stay Back perk to cheese Deathclaws. But that's a long time to wait for the perk and it's a perk point that could be better spend on a more general use perk.

For regular enemies and without the knockdown perk, shotguns are definitely shit tier and a last resort weapon. I often get rich as fuck quickly from selling their ammo or breaking them down to make other ammo.

>Shotguns were at their fucking best in New Vegas

Actually they were better in Fallout 3. Gamebreaking, even. They had far, far, FAR more powerful crits (like 800 damage because the crit is applied to each pellet in FO3) and much tighter spreads that let them be used at surprisingly long range.

ignore retarded faggots. Acquire Project Nevada with the extra options addon. Also download Mobile Truck base. Play in survival mode. Use Project Nevada to alter damage/hunger/thirst/sleep until it feels like a basic need. Not a soul crushing challenge, not a nothing burger, just something that you'll have to keep in mind when planning out your inventory space. Food and water and perhaps a sleeping bag if you're going into the bush.
Use the mobile truck base as a fast travel alternative. Fast travel by itself makes you miss a bunch of shit. With the addition of the truck you don't have to walk literally everywhere. It's meant to encourage a sort of "set up base, do a bunch of shit in a centralized area, head back to base, plan your next stop." kinda vibe. Plus the interior is pretty cool.
Finally; I highly recommend Extra Perks, Extra Perks for Companions and Extra Traits. Some of it is super cool, like letting you turn any pre war outfit into power armor, or letting you find random unique items in containers. Gives you the chance to find La Longue Carabine or Lucky Shades if you really don't want to fuck with legion/ncr respectively.

>New Vegas Tick Fix

That mod is quite literally just NVSR with the heap replacement shit cut off altogether. If you know what you are doing, you can use NVSR on win 10 (I am) and even get the increased performance benefits it used to give to win 7 and 8. Tickfix is fine for brainlets or people who value their time, though. I had to spend quite a but of time learning how to tweak the NVSR ini to work with my modern OS and computer, but that was part of the fun.

>Mobile Truck base
The comfiest home in any Fallout/TES game

>etting you turn any pre war outfit into power armor,
the fuck? this is cool how?

>Project Nevada

I'll probably never use that because it requires I learn how to custom map my controller in order to sprint or use the grenade hotkey.

Finna is a Southern phrase you fucking retards, my god

> Controller

>getting so buttflustered by spooky ghostbois you need power armour

>controller
bruh, look at this dude

>Gives you the chance to find La Longue Carabine...if you don't want to fuck with ...ncr

You don't need to fuck with them to get that gun. In fact you can't fuck with them to get it. The only way to get it is to take it by force from the NPC who carries it. Either shoot it off his back in VATS, grab it and run like fuck, or just stealth kill him. Killing him doesn't fail any quests.

NV ain't comfy without a controller.

Nigs mostly use it. Also there was a meme a while back that firmly associated it with ebonics. Actually, I think you're wrong and it always was ebonics.

Wait so all it does is give any outfit an inflated stat boost?

No. It only works on outfits that specifically have pre-war in the name, and Bennys Suit.
And it just turns them into basic power armor.
+1str-1agl 24DT power armor, that looks like a suit or a sweater vest and khakis. Or a dress if, for some godforsaken reason you play as a girl or take any companion other than based and redpilled husbando numero uno (pic related)

But anyway, that defeats the point of DM. The only cheat I use for DM is to take off the bomb collar, since dealing with the radios is tedious on replays.

Sorry, what did you just say?

> That defeats the point of DM
The point of making you grind up to lvl 30 before making all your combat choices irrelevant? I know it defeats the point. The point of making combat horrible for everyone who isn't a meleefag is a stupid point.

TTW - Combines Fallout 3 and Fallout NV and all their DLC into one game. Keep in mind that it uses NV as the base so if you want to add more mods, they have to be for NV.

Solid Project - Adds a bunch of tweaks and improvements that modernize the game. I mostly use it for the best sprinting and also the ladder climbing.

JIP Companions - Allows you to have multiple Companions and control them more seamlessly. Plus it lets you recruit NPCs that are normally not companions.

LootMenu - Like in Fallout 4, you don't need to open a container or corpse to loot the content. There's a floating window when you hover over.

FOV Slider - Let's you change for FOV in every camera mode and when looking at your pipboy.

DarnUI - Makes text smaller and resizes UI elements so more stuff fits on the screen and looks neater.

Quickthrow - The best grenade hotkey mod I've used. It's fast and also cancelable and very customizable.

It's almost like you're not supposed to bulldoze through everything. Besides, the Auto Rifle and Holorifle are great weapons even if the accuracy of the former is shit without JSawyer

>comfy
bruh, look this dood

>doesn't have an ergonomic desk setup

You can enter it at any level and the only time you suffer for it is with the skill checks. The ghost people scale to your level. Besides, killing ghost people with guns is pretty easy. You never actually run low on ammo. IMO an energy weapons focused build would suffer the most. You just have the holorifle, which is great against deathclaws, but shit tier for groups of ghost people.

> DarnUI
Dont fuck with this mod. It's not worth the frustration. Find something else.
> auto rifle is a great weapon
What the fuck? Are you for real nigga? You mean the gun that drinks the best ammunition in the game like its fucking water and can't even bust through armor? Get out faggot. Also all energy weapons suck and if you roll energy you're a bitch.

Speaking of which guns are good you should also grab WMX. NOT WME. because paciencia is beauty incarnate.

You get infinite .308 ammo from the vending machines dumbass, unless you're a lucklet that can't gamble

bullets might be infinite but the coins to buy them are not until you're practically done with the dlc and certainly done with the majority of the combat.

>It's not worth the frustration

>can't even bust through armor

That's not relevant considering that none of the ghost people or enemies in DM actually have any DT. But there's always AP ammo after you return to NV.

thanks for the cleave and conelrad reminders user

it's strong enough to be played without a fuckload of gameplay mods. Just get tuneups and things that improve the vanilla experience to start with.

>Finna
>Finna is a Southern phrase
you mean where most niggers are?

It was always ebonics. Nigs contracted it from "fixing to" which was the southern phrase.

Yeah, stop making useless posts like

Project Nevada's been obsolete for a bit now. We have mods these days that make use of JIP NVSE plugin to have mods that do what PN does but better like B42 Quickthrow and C16 Vanilla Sprint. Comprehensive Bullet Time is also a much better made bullet time mod.

Not to mention a lot of the other parts of PN are just not all that good. The Equipment Module has a lot of poorly made stuff in it. And Cybernetics module is practically game breaking for the sell prices alone.

Why does Power Armor look cooler in FO1, 2, and 4? In 3 and NV they look like fags in cosplay.

Nope, it's anyone with a high enough IQ.

plus 3/nv has fucking garbage character animation, you look like an incel when you wear power armor

Attached: 1530816549147.jpg (1920x1080, 326K)

Because for whatever reason they had to make the PA fit the regular human animation skeleton. 4 switches you to a different skeleton when you get in the PA so it can have its own animations and proportions

It wasn't really worked out at that point. Bethesda was coming from Oblivion when making the armor in FO3.

nv and 3 use a shitty version of already bad engine, it took them months on end to get the single-loading guns to work
4 is them forcing every last bit of the engine's ability out and making them pseudo vehicles, its like if someone managed to port doom onto a ancient mayan tablet- im not sure how they managed to do it and im too afraid to ask

Obsessed freak. You're not New Vegas community. Leave us

They lost the ability to have single loading guns work right in f04. Only NV did it.

Quiet, you tranny fuck.

Someone actually did something like that by creating Pokemon Red on Minecraft.

It wasn't just a port, but a full recreation of the game inside the Minecraft world that you play by operating a Gameboy within the world. No mods are used.

That's what I find so impressive about it.

What about the screen? How does that work?

>bringing up trannies, bigotry, reddit, and racism for no reason
At least I'll never be obsessed or get trigged out over the word finna

speaking of Raul, what did you guys choose for him? retirement or vaquero?

According to the author

>This is a recreation of Pokémon Red in Vanilla Minecraft using only command blocks and a resource pack.

He still says it's not mods but I don't really know enough about minecraft to tell.

I never use that zombie beaner spick fuck.

Retirement. The game plays itself enough that I would rather Raul help by letting me use the more degrading ammo than by shooting everything himself. Plus he looks like a fucking tool if you go Vanquero.

I don't use him as an active human companion either (that's a tossup between Boone and Gannon) but I want to finish every doable companion quest in my first playthrough of NV.
To answer OP, I personally don't use any mods and so far I've been having a blast :)

because the game makes you pass a speech check before the vaquero option, it really implies that that's the better option.

it probably has to do with maps on an item frame, allowing for a higher resolution for the screen instead of a per block basis

Texture packs replacing items that he uses as the sprites, along with maps in item frames.

It's fucking insane.

I think the speech check is different depending on the dialogue options you pick when you talk about the three old guys. If you say that they've still got what it takes to be fighting men despite their age, Raul goes all cowboy. If you say that their knowledge is what makes them important, then he goes mechanic. The speech check is the chance to change his mind to get the outcome YOU want instead of what the one indicated by the responses you picked earlier

oh damn, really? ah, well... IDK, cause while I personally think he shouldn't let age be a deciding factor in how he lives his life and seeing as his moral compass aligns with my own (or rather, my version of the courier) I'd like him to still be a gunslinger, but on the other hand I don't want him to get hurt.

No. Absolutely not. Why would anyone do this?

No, no one is that much of an absolute fegit to do something like that. If you start the game perfect, you have less to advance to

I play on Very Hard, just fyi.

You probably use the Perk Every Level mod, hypocrite.

Yeah I also auto complete all the quests in the game and transfer every item to my BoS hideout.

Play it vanilla first or just get the big stability patches as others have posted

That just raises more questions. Why would you give yourself an advantage to a challenge you give yourself? Just don't do either of those things.

That makes you even more of a fucking faggot.
>I set the game to Very Hard so that I feel proud for defeating it at a high difficulty setting even though I cheat from the beginning.

That doesn't excuse anything, just play normal or hard. Hardcore JSawyer if you want a challenge

it's weird thinking about how both the Legion and the NCR want to bring peace to the wasteland, yet they approach this goal by antithetical means.

ESSENTIAL MOD: nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/62351

I just add things that remove frustration. I started by making the crafting mods in particular always be active, since you still need to be at a certain skill level to make the items they unlock.

>add things that remove frustration
If by frustration, you mean any difficulty whatsoever

Simply based.

i never realized this

did anyone call the modder out

Yeah, not to sound contrarian, but I agree with what said. It's your game, you do whatever you want to it, but I'm just a bit perplexed about your decision.
