So, when they added the DLCs to the console versions (and the Steam version, unfortunately) they removed a bunch of the clutter in areas that took up memory space so that the DLC could fit. That's the only way they fit it all on the 360 and PS3. So yeah, getting any meaningful content added to the base game would've been improbable.

Keep in mind, at least some of it wasn't only for technical reasons-the reason why you couldn't tell Caesar about Joshua Graham, for example, was because they didn't have the budget to get John Doman back in the studio for just a few lines of dialogue.

It cannot be stated enough how much obsidian accomplished on such a tight budget and development cycle. Yes it's a shame you can't recruit the zion tribes to fight Caesar but that was just beyond what they could afford

homeless poster posted:I agree, and at the same time I can't even imagine how loving unplayable the overall game would have become if they had actually attempted full integration of the DLCs. NV is a great game, but its barely loving stable enough to run on consoles as is, and having the main game actually need to reference the DLC would have likely just made the game completely disintegrate. It's amazing how much of an impact that generation's consoles having gently caress all RAM had on New Vegas.

The way the engine handles DLC and mods would have actually helped them integrate mod callbacks, but like Acebuckeye13 said, the actual writing/recording of the lines were the main issue. When you add DLC/mods to the game, they basically load in chunks, with each one overwriting anything that came before it if there's any overlap. For example, the base game might say that a certain chunk of the overworld is just a hill, but DLC says no actually this hill has a door here, and the game just rolls with whatever is loaded last.

The tricky part being that apparently with consoles you can't really tell them which one loads last. I don't know how hard it would be to make them do that, but they've got mods on consoles now so presumably they found a way

Fanatic posted:Yeah I remember playing NV on the 360. If you played for too long or caused too many explosions the game would freeze. It took awhile but I still managed to 100% the game and all its DLC's. Hah! It's funny too, if not for Riot games the 360 would have had HALF as much ram. I can't imagine it would have been nearly as successful or long lived.

I think the biggest problem with integrating the DLC in the basegame is that someone could decide not to purchase one of them. It would be trivial for the DLCs to add new ending slides for example. But the ending slides are handled by a single quest&script. So each DLC would have to edit that quest. With each next DLC needing to incorporate the former DLC's edits, making the latter a required purchase. Obsidian could have gotten around that with a lot of careful planning and creating a framework for the DLC to hook into. But their development cycle was just 18 months, so they probably had other stuff to worry about like getting the game finished. Internet Wizard posted:Pretty sure they just load in release order.

So whats a good alternative to 5.56mm guns? I end up using it in all my playthroughs because its so common, but I'm wanting to shake it up. I've never really used some other interesting weapons both because their ammo is so rare and because Ratslayer has become a crutch weapon for me.

You know what you do with brain tumors? You remove them, with medicine. Handily, the medicine stick will get all that nasty tumor right out for him.

the Survivalist's Rifle is the best longarm in the game, hands down, so go ahead and use that. it's got the best narrative fiction attached to it, which means it's obviously the most important gun you can use.

It takes 12.7mm iirc, which also has a really cool pistol and SMG. As does .45, and .308 has the Automatic Rifle which might be my favourite gun in the game.

My problem with grenade launchers is that generally if they don't one-shot something, that monster is now right in my face and I'm holding something that will kill me if I fire again.

That's because it's a game you can play, in JUST achieving the main ending, 12 different ways. Good, Neutral, Evil. Legion, NCR, House, Yes Man.

Since the original games' thread seems to have sunk beneath the forum waves and it seems much likelier that people here would be into it, I figured I'd post about a Fallout 2 TC mod that just got released in English. I don't know if it's any good (the Restored Content mod for FO2 led me to believe that making new stuff for the old engine was difficult and buggy) but it seems pretty huge.

Thanks for the link, I had no idea the English translation was already finished. Most custom content for Fallout 2 isn't particularly high-quality, but I'm willing to give it a shot.

Ive been playing it a bit the last few days. The writing is pretty good! I certainly haven't seen anything that's comes off as amateurish. The balancing they did seems pretty solid too. Scarcity is just enough an issue to keep it challenging without making it a drag. I recommend putting a couple points in unarmed or melee to start, though. Ammo is fairly precious at the beginning.

Raygereio posted:I'm not sure what your problem there is. But PN comes with it's own custom version of MCM that only works for PN. You'll need to install the full version of MCM after PN. With Mod Organizer you can just set MCM's installation priority lower then Project Nevada's Ah ok this might be the problem. I assumed PN's MCM required the regular MCM as a prerequisite so I was loading PN afterwards. I'll try switching them around and see if that helps things out.

Install project Nevada, then mcm, and then UIO after any other hud changing mods. And don't forget the grenade hot key fix if you use animation replacers.
