Autumn Leaves was so good that Todd Howard stole it and put it in Fallout 4 as a DLC

Autumn Leaves is really a great mod, the best that I played.

Forgotten City for Skyrim is nice.Voice acting is on point, there are multiple endings, facultative skill checks and good quest design.

But it does push some sjw bullshit though.

Enderal is pretty good for the shit that Skyrim is. The Someguy mods for NV I'd recommend too.

The Fallout 4 DLC version is only 1 hour long unlike the 6 hour long mod. Bethesda didn't have enough of a budget to rip the whole mod off. Bit of an infamous controversy, really. I wonder how this would've gone down if he never used the Bethesda modkit and instead just created the mod with his own tools. As it stands the GECK ToS gives Bethesda full rights to any mods made with it, a clause Bethesda likes to make full use of, since it is a well-known fact that they cannot design for shit and have to rip off mods for any gameplay improvements.

When does NVB make it self unbeatable at any point? The only part I can think of is the cannibal lair part near the Outpost and for that you just have to wait for the cannibal guy to get ready to eat you and he unlocks the cell to fight and kill you. From there you can run and grab your stuff from one of the rooms.

Shit, you could do that? I just saw him do the same animations over and over and assumed that he would just keep looping until I was able to lockpick the cell. Disregard that part of my original post I'm retarded. Voice acting was still pretty bad though.

>Bethesda didn't have enough of a budget to rip the whole mod off

That's something that's really curious, actually. They should have the biggest budgets in the industry, but they design their games like they don't have any budget at all, with so many things rushed, unfinished, untested, or just not thought out at all in every game.

They shoulda hired this guy. He could make a better plot than pete hines or trainwiz.

Given that their lead animator flunked out of his college animation course and then got hired for being buddies with Todd Howard, that their lead writer gave an hour-long GDC presentation last year about how he didn't understand what the themes of their games were and about how all the decisions he'd make for their games would just make the jobs of their actual writers harder, that with Todd Howard as game director their games are these messes completely lacking any effective direction, and that they've got a head of PR who does nothing but hurl insults at their fans on Twitter, I'd say that they're not really any kind of meritocracy.

You know, when you put it all together like that, how the fuck is bethesda still in existence?

You'd really think it'd be an absolute clusterfuck of internal strife. I imagine the ultimate Jewish control freakishness of the people in charge helps keep that strife from bubbling to to the surface, though. I remember there was an interview in 2005 with an ex-employee talking about creative disagreements that arose in developing Morrowind that Bethesda actually demanded the websites hosting it pull down.

Bethesda is bad with money, news at 11. Next you'll be surprised that Tim Schafer overspends large budgets too. It's practically a fact of life tht these days game budgets are bloated and run by incompetents who don't know what they're doing.

A full decade of shit games has resulted in that new generations of gamers have no idea what good games are like and thus possess no standards while older generations have become inured to the cancer standards that today's games come with and resign themselves to mod the shit out of it to make it decentish. In that respect Bethesda crap has some appeal in its vast mod support.

Alright. After a decade of avoiding the meme hype, I'm finally playing a Fallout game. New Vegas, which I'm told is the best one. What are the essential mods for the game? I just finished the quest where you send Blight from Batman Beyond and his followers into space, so I'm a few hours in. I can already tell I'd prefer some better inventory management, and above all else, the ability to run.

Is there a briefcase inventory management mod like RE4s for FNV?
