So I am playing J Sawyers for the first time and the 100 carry weight is kicking my rear end and I'm not even one of those people who have to grab every item they see. What is the reason the carry weight is so low? Is it an Economy preservation thing so you don't have 15000 caps by level ten or just a punishment for hoarders?

It's based a lot more on strength now. strong back is a lot better now

I'm guessing economy preservation and game balance. Makes strength valuable for any character. I am doing a heisenberg build so I gave him low end and str and I was crying all the way to the Big MT until I got the upgraded Spine. I get a lot of use out of those mojave boxes and companions as pack mules. I'd ship stuff back to Goodsprings for later sorting into Lombard Station, or Novac if you aren;t using that hideout.

Are there any suggested SPECIAL or perk setups for a runthrough? I haven't played a Fallout game in for-loving-ever, and unlike Skyrim you can't just do whatever and max everything out, right?

I'm gonna look through that STEP guide posted a little earlier but goon mod recommendations would be cool, too. Other than the ones in the OP I guess.

Don't min max. Play with JSawyer on normal and make a character up in your head. Select special based on what vigor tester option best sounds like your character. Focus on a single combat skill (and perhaps a support combat skill like melee/explosives/unarmed etc) and a couple of non combat skills and play organically.

I had a surprising amount of luck using explosives as a primary combat skill on one character but I also had a mod that let me craft 40 mm grenades at a reloading bench. You could probably still do it considering how much dynamite powder gangers will give you.

Ya I am doing an explosives run now. Mojave Walter White, been making judicious use of hand crafted explosives like fat mines and nuka grenades. The only gun I use is the Police Pistol...too bad I didn't check the requirements for quick draw. Gonna do the last mission with an LMG. JSawyer reduces the power of explosives, but with all the perks you still absolutely wreck poo poo. MFC clusters are amazing.

Make sure you're using the newer 4GB Loader here and add the switch "-laaexe .\FalloutMO.exe" to the arguments for 4GB Loader in MO.

the Gtab mod in the op allows you to. Just don't touch the mass crafting options because they don't seem to work right. To craft a primer you need to breakdown brass, and to craft powder you breakdown dynamite. (you need some explosives skill)

The biggest bother so far is that New Vegas Reborn requires a beta build of NVSE, as the lowest build number it tolerates is an increment above the last stable build of NVSE.

Referencing the excellent and thoughtful OP is an excellent start.

Content: for those who are/have upgraded to Windows 10, I've found you need to alter the properties of falloutprefs.ini and fallout.ini in Users/Name/Documents/My Games/Fallout NV to give everyone listed "Full Control", or you may end up with a black, taunting screen like I did.
