Arcsquad12 posted:https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/56373 Thanks for this. That top is is pretty much exactly what I was looking for and more. One more question: Is there a way to clean saves? I rejiggered my mod list and merged a bunch of stuff and fixed a slew of issues I was having, but it also meant my saved game is kinda borked. I have an issue with a script failing to fire off and missing meshes. I haven't actually removed any mods, things at most just got merged. Is there a way to fix this? I'd rather not start over right now.

I may as well start a new OP so we have one that's fresher than five years ago. Any information that should go in besides the above content about where to get the good mods? We should also include some "best of" from this thread.

Which mods were I removed the one offending mod that was having trouble with its scripts and everything else seems to be working just find except for some leftover missing meshes from a mod I removed that had added a diner. Not a huge issue I guess I can go through and manually disable the leftovers.

Sorry for asking about this now when there's a new thread on the way, but I'm following the Viva New Vegas guide, and I'm wondering when/if I should run the BSA Decompressor, or if I also need to download the OGG libraries. The Viva New Vegas guide says use one or the other, but this guide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cypqage_Pdk) say to install the OGG libraries, then run the BSA Decomp at the end. EDIT: I'm also looking at the Rika's guide posted above, which lists both. Max Wilco fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Apr 16, 2020 |

Titans of the New West New script-based Power Armor adjustment that makes PA have the same proportions as it did in the older games, and also doesn't give you a huge head/weapon like PA Scaling does. Looks awesome, though it's new and not compatible with Ragdolls (yet - looks pretty popular already so hopefully somebody'll throw together a patch at some point).

The literal one feature I'd love to have from Fallout 4 would be similar power armor... Looks like it gets some of the way there. Might have to play around with powered power armor too.

I don't enjoy the "wear it like a vehicle" aspect but the design of the armor looks great. The T-60 is literally just the T-45 with more bits welded to it to let the military claim it's a brand new suit.

SpookyLizard posted:Ill never understand the love for what fallout 4 did to power armor I like that in FO4 power armour more then that. It's something you step into like a tank and the animation & sound design makes you feel like like you're inside a huge stompy robot. It was pretty neat.  It was stupid that they handed you power armour during the tutorial, which made a lot less special. But walking around in power armour was cool.

In 3 and NV power armor is just regular armor with some stat boosts. There's no difference in how your character moves or interacts with the world other than having slightly louder footsteps. 4 made it so the power part of power armor actually matters and made it feel distinct. The customization was cool too.

I'm sure SpookyLizard is aware of the difference and just doesn't like them, that's fine. Not *absolutely* everybody has to like Fallout 4-style PAs. Personally, I'm into the tank aspect but the whole granular customization bit and having to get fusion cores was a bridge too far for me, which was kind of my opinion of a lot of Fallout 4 mechanics that ended up feeling just too fiddly. That said, it's probably justified, as Bethesda wanted mechanics that they can keep plugging into modularly throughout the game's length and with the Creation Club.

uh guys in fallout and fallout 2 power armor was just really good armor. also the t60 looked dumb imo. im waiting for the next generation of super new power armor that was also made before the war to come out in the next one.

I'm not a big fan of T60, which makes sense, given the redesign was literally just meant to be T45 in Fallout 4 until they decided for some reason to keep the original t45 design and just kept it as its own design. It's a really boring "iconic design" for the new game, where previously each game's power armor design felt very distinct, although I do think Fallout 4's version of the Enclave Power armor looks really good.

Lots of people wanted vehicles in Fallout games but the level design would have had to change a whole lot, so they split the difference. Aside from power cores adding to the chore of weight management, it turned out pretty good and helps add to the feel of it being a special thing in the early going.

Raygereio posted:Up until FO4 power armour was just another piece of clothing you put on. Which was kind of dumb if you look at what power armour is supposed to be. I really love how FO4 handled power armor as well, especially when I have the option of Frankensteining one from misc parts or painting it like a hot rod (The Atom Cats are the best).

SpookyLizard posted:Ill never understand the love for what fallout 4 did to power armor Is there a reason or are you just against change in general? It's one of the only things Bethesda has done right in a while. Personally I just don't like how virtually every group in the Wasteland with more than a dozen people not only has a functioning suit, but they also know how to use it. I remember power armor being something that required very specialized training to use, and you had to finish a difficult quest to get that training. I even remember seeing the main character wearing power armor in the opening cutscene and thinking "So I guess the main character was a soldier before the war, that explains how he knows how to use it!" but then so does the wife character and literally everyone else in the entire wasteland.

That bothered me too but honestly given the surplus of how many exist in the region i dont find it too hard to believe that people just sort of figured out how to use it by trial and error, or like some brotherhood/enclave outcasts just joining with raiders and teaching them how to use a bunch of advanced stuff (which has precedent for happening several times) or during one of the brotherhoods many failed attempts to integrate their technology into the wasteland. It would have been an interesting thing to see them delve into why its the case but iirc its just kinda left unexplained. Characters (including the male protagonist, since not all soldiers were trained in it and its more like the equivalent of a tank operator) requiring a feat to use it would have been more believable but i'm sure its probably better for retention rate and whatnot to have one of the first missions have you get into one and feel like a badass, even though i'm old and like things like that to take a bit in rpgs and feel earned. Mechanically power armor was really neat though imo

Power armor training wasn't really a thing in the first two games and was only a thing in Fallout 3 and New Vegas, so in some ways, that's a return to the way it worked in the originals. That said, the existence of poo poo like Raider Power Armors, kind of cheapens the way they work. That's the thing with Power Armors not being the high-end and instead just being a separate kind of item that has tiers: it doesn't feel as special anymore, because you have to cover a whole range of factions, from lovely ranger, to the high-level people.

You could say the same about scaling for most equipment in Fallout 4. lovely raider power armors cheapen the experience almost as much as the five billion identical pipe weapons.

The worst thing that happened with power armor in post-FO4 is that the entire game feels based around eventually using power armor and then attaching additional constraints and ticky tack bullshit to using it, like replacing the plating section by section and suddenly you need a power armor garage and to collect batteries and ohmygod I don't care. It's there at this point because they identified power armor as a Fallout brand thing and lumped in with constantly using more nukes in an already-irradiated, nearly uninhabited nuclear wasteland. Just brainless. Like it's cool that wearing power armor feels different but that's about where the cool part stops.

I just like stomping around in giant gently caress off armor. The fusion core mechanics do suck, but I liked how the HUD changed and the character felt really tanky. But agreed the commonality of the armor sucks in the Bethesda games.

Like mentioned with the others, stompy robot suit concept is great but the whole fusion cores/raiders jury rigging them/awkward over the top need to mod every bit and their latest new entry in the power armor canon do all grate on me too.

I thought the vehicular nature of power armour in fallout 4 was one of the (few) things they did right. And then, yeah, they give it to you in the first battle and make you fight a deathclaw and blaaaa But! It actually had potential; there's at least one mod that significantly cuts down on the number of exo-skeletons available, and replaces them with like... a single part, maybe. I also liked that they felt so oppressive to wear, so I genuinely didn't want to, and it made me go back to wearing other gear And finally, shooting out the power cores and stealing armor from hostiles was fantastically good fun
