>>14684216

that thread quickly went to shit with a bait post like 2 posts in, hence me writing "yet another" in the title.

>>14684224

It looks fine to me. There isn't even 100 posts in it yet. You could actually try

>>14684216

Seems ok to me. That other thread is about the whole fallout series in general, and OP is asking specifically about mods for FO:NV.

>>14684233

That sounds retarded by whatever you're the volly and I'm not, but you should change the thread title at least to reflect that

>>14684277

>>14684260

It's not against the rules. It's arguable how bad a discreet discussion relating to video games could really be, there's much worse things to get autistically angry about.

>i just watched the new ep of westworld and want some real good old-fashioned cowboy action

There was maybe 5 minutes of western-themed content though. It's all about the scifi now.

>>14686938

it was always about the scifi lad, didn't you see the movie?

anyone can post their mods order?

Just wanted to say that the old /sp/ guys are all gone and "/sp/ " as you and I once knew is dead. Probably forever. After Bonsai Buddy Chan died their semi-official address became sportschan.org That URL is supposed to redirect to their current home Chan but that url has been dead for months. Their original numbers had already been dwindling since they left 8chan. They then went to Bonsai Buddy Chan that died. Then NextChan, then endchan, then some other Chan and by that move there was none left

What the fuck is up with the aiming in F:NW? I hit jack shit with the hunting rifle and now bought a combat rifle from the gun runners thinking it would work better and it's still fucking inaccurate.

The OP and people were talking about NV, though.

Bethesda enforced their assets policy on this and the FO3 port, it's basically dead at this point even though they say it isn't.

>not just giving players the tools to decompile and recompile the .bsas for this game

Fucking scrublords.

>>14699970

Couldnt they just make a installer that requires you to have NV. Like OpenMW does or Tale of Two Wastelands

>>14699970

i thought they refused to give sound files or some shit to the fo3 team and that's why it died.

even if the guy doesn't do a full nv port, at least putting in the nv leveling system should be released on its own.

>>14699979

That's basically what I'm saying, require an install of Fallout New Vegas and have the installer decompile the archives and compile new ones for the mod, should get around Bethesda's eula since Bethesda can't stop such tools from existing.

>>14699981

>i thought they refused to give sound files or some shit to the fo3

Perhaps I misread things but I remember it being that Bethesda just enforced their eula on the FO3 for FO4 mod.

>nv levelling system

That's part of another Fallout 4 mod, old convo system as well.

>>14699998

http://archive.is/C1vI1

yup, the mod team asked for audio files instead of recording dialogue themselves, jewthesda said no and they said mod is ded. the nv guy is apparently rounding up voice actors, so his mod is on hiatus as well.

>>14700035

Isn't that basically the same thing, they aren't asking for new or unreleased voice acting they are asking to use already existing va assets.

re-recording lines kills so much of the game, the VA for Mr House was perfect, you can't replace that, but it also kills the development, this turns a 4 year port into a 20+ year nightmare, it's as good as dead.

>>14700035

Why not just make the mod without the soundfiles and have a "unofficial" sound file installer as a torrent? Those yids can't do shit to your mod if you don't ship the soundfiles with the mod itself, right?

>>14700054

>Isn't that basically the same thing

nope, making it from scratch is perfectly legal, using old assets in a newer game is considered porting, which most companies do not abide by, even if it's a game which they own and such.

>>14700106

>"unofficial" sound file installer as a torrent?

as i said above, it's considered porting and bethesda is a big bitch when it comes to that. basically if they aren't doing it themselves, it's a no-no. that's why the nexus doesn't host ported content, even if it's something moved from 3 to 4 and so on. it has to be built from the ground up, like that guy that did the riot gear.

>>14699979

They are probably salty about how NV is superior to their nuFallouts, and how giving them permission to do this project would further prove they are incompetent frauds.

Is it worth it to try to try to make Tales of the Two Wastelands work or should I just go NV-only? Mind it, I have never played either Fallout 3 nor NV.

Every time I install this game it seems like it gets shittier and more unstable, even with both the anti-crash and stutter reducer mods. I kept my modlist very short, maybe 10 low-impact mods and it's totally unplayable. It has about a 50/50 chance of crashing on a loading screen and now audio and visuals get desynched from what's happening on screen.

I had a hankering to play a scrawny brainiac who sucks at fighting but totes around a pump shotgun but I can't even get to Primm with this mess.

>>14703366

they remade that 4gb ram patch mod into a .esp file, should generally be very playable from there on.

>>14703325

>Mind it, I have never played either Fallout 3 nor NV.

You can say the same about the other games on the franchise.

Also the rest of your arguments about sidequests can be applied to almost every rpg, not just this one.

>>14705269

In other more linear rpgs, side quests are fine because they are optional, and there's plenty of core content if you skip them.

In FNV, it's 85% side quests and 15% story. There's no core content.

There are better ways to give players agency in video games. Open world tells the player "you can go here… or you can go here!" The upside is the player can complete content in whatever order they want, but the downside is padding game time with annoying hikes across the map. It gives immersion by allowing the player to choose where they go first, but then immediately takes it away with a long trek.

If you remove the open world aspect, you can still tell a player he can go wherever he pleases without making him walk for it. More than half your time in open world games is spent walking between content.

Stop playing bad games.

>>14684233

Faggot mods not enforcing excessive unnecessary moderation, what a sight.

>>14705304

>In other more linear rpgs

>Side quests are more lineal

No shit sherlock.

>[in those games] side quests are fine because they are optional

Yeah, because they aren't optional in NV at all.

Also, side quests serve as a way to gain reputation of factions, of which they help on you the final battle/give you special perks and items.

I don't get your approach about "hikes", what's the difference between:

>RPG A)

>First mission: follow a set path through the forest, kill boars, arrive at tavern

>Second mission: follow a set path through a swamp, kill lizards, arrive at castle

Etc.

>RPG B)

>First mission: get to point A, you can choose path 1 has lizards, path 2 has bandits, path 3 has dragons.

>Second mission: get to point B, you can choose these paths[etc.]

First one forces you onto a set path, the other one lets you choose (even though it's almost the same).

Also, side quests in NV usually relate to other points on the map, connecting it with the rest of the world, it's not "kill 10 boars, bring me 20 wolf pelts".

>>14705234

>>"you have to go to New Vegas, it's important!"

Except that's not true. There's no water chip, GECK, son, or other urgent business to chase after here. The "important" thing driving you to New Vegas is revenge for getting shot in the head. You can decide, for any number of in-character reasons, to let your revenge take a back seat. That's why there's an "RP" in RPG.

>>14705304

>In FNV, it's 85% side quests and 15% story. There's no core content.

The side quests ARE core content, and moreover they ARE story.

>The upside is the player can complete content in whatever order they want, but the downside is padding game time with annoying hikes across the map.

>More than half your time in open world games is spent walking between content.

As I read your posts it almost seems to me like the way you play is

<speak to NPC, journal announces a quest

<walk straight to the quest location

<complete quest objectives

<go back and get reward

Which is a stupid way to play.

>It gives immersion by allowing the player to choose where they go first, but then immediately takes it away with a long trek.

>If you remove the open world aspect, you can still tell a player he can go wherever he pleases without making him walk for it.

I don't even understand what you're trying to complain about. How is it immersion-breaking to have to actually go places you've never been to before? How can you let the player explore without giving him a world to explore?

I don't think you understand the point of playing an RPG. You seem to be focusing too much on doing what your journal and map markers tell you to do.

>He doesn't recognize Barbarink's style

Get a load of this guy!

>>14703325

No, especially if this is your first time playing either. It can be a bitch to get working with other mods even when said mods are tweaked specifically for it.

>>14705816

It can also be pretty unbalanced at times. For example the Almost Perfect perk, which last time I played TTW was still a level 30 perk despite NV's cap going up to 50.

Been playing Fonline Reloaded. Its pretty cewl. May as well relax a bit and play some vidya this weekend. If anyone wants to join me I will help you get started. It's free to download and play.

If that fails, learn to read.

>>14707135

neo-/v/ at it again eh

If you like someguy's mods, The North Road clearly takes a lot of pointers from his mods, with a little less polish and a lot more high-grade weapons. It's a 7/10 compared to the 9/10 of NVB, but it does add a new map and a decent chunk of content. Story is a pretty standard "hunt down the peder-ass" through a shithole full of raiders and mercs. Also has a redux of Glanton who's slightly less of a faggot.

>>14708141

is that the one where the finale is unforgiven?

>>14708501

>>14707135

FNV has been generally loved on 8/v/ since the beginning, this is nothing new.

>Doing independent run

>Helping with the cure of Nightkin schizophrenia when Keene and his goons start demanding the MKII version

>Since independent vegas is a bit more open ended, if I give him the stealthboy he will go rampaging. But in my scenario if anyone tries to fuck with Jacobstown because of it, I fuck them. Research will continue along as normal. If I don't give then I have to kill em, and as Marcus days less Nightkin will come and stay therefore research will slow down.

No, devs should make games because they like games, not because they like money. Fuck Mr. Krabs that fucking red-skinned, long-eyes, fat, fucking kike. Same reason nobody likes Tood: long eyes, red-skin, fat, Jewish; simple.

>>14699981

Point is: they ruined community making their own games better than them because

Bethesda is fucking shit.

You just can't get over how Obsidian cucked you, the only way to uncuck yourself is to dominate your bull: make a better game and it might be worth listening to you.

Oldfags can be teenagers too, anon.

Someone has been playing too much fallout:new vegas. In Westworld S2E1 scene where bill get attacked by two fellas there is soundtrack that sound just like new vegas soundtrack and when bill start attacking whit bucket there is 10sec on music that is pretty much beat by beat from New vegas soundtrack.

>>14699979

Speaking of which, it would be better just to dehardcode OpenMW and add support for NV than it would be to actually remake the whole thing in a shitty engine.

>>14703325

3 is a bad game, ignore it and just play FNV. If you want to use mods just use the unofficial patch, jsawyer's (he was one of the devs), and NVAC. If you bought the game on steam for some retarded reason you need the 4gb patch too, but it's not necessary if you pirate the GOG version (or buy it).

>>14705750

That's not really an argument considering the reason it is considered good is all the mechanics that were added or changed, the writing that was tighter and more engaging (I know not hard to do when the writers at Bethesda are fanfic tier) and faction interactions and quests were alot more interwoven and engaging. I also though the dlc was way better done, I liked the way they had a loose continuity if played in order.

>>14714259

>but it's not necessary if you pirate the GOG version

that's because i'm pretty sure the gog version has that 4gb patch integrated into their release of the game. also someone recently turned the 4gb patch into a esp file, link here https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/62552

>>14705304

>traversing the map takes away from immersion

what the fuck am I reading

>In FNV, it's 85% side quests and 15% story

That's 85% world building and 15% story, just as it should be

>>14714352

fnv is also considered better since fallout 1 and 2 devs worked on it, and thus is "the true fallout 3".
