The Wendy Gilbert companion discussed earlier in the thread can actually do this. No real character back-story, no girlfriend plot (though her "sleepwear" is some custom transparent lingerie) Just someone who follows you around and can break out the bobby pins for you. You can assign her Tag skills when you pick her up, so I keep her around and have her focus on the skills my character is lacking on. I've plugged this mod before, because it really does seem to be about the most versatile companion mod out there.

\/\/\/ Yes. She builds her skills as they get used; for lockpicking as an example, she'll gain a point every few times she opens something. If her skill is below the lock level, but still close, you can have her attempt to force it; she can at least make an attempt to open something where the player wouldn't at the same lockpick level. She can also use skill magazines for a temporary buff, or you can even give her actual skillbooks if you're so inclined. Other skills work on the same lines - give her a gun and let her kill things, her gun skill increases. Ask her for help at a workbench (which gives you a buff to your repair skill based on a percentage of hers) and her repair skill goes up.

Also what are "merged patches"? I've never heard about them until recently. They sound pretty important too. Is this what I should be doing when I'm got a bazillion DLC and compatibility patches? Oh god I'm freaking out.

Is there a place where the latest version of DarnifiedUI is available? I never understood why they just keep making like 30+ topics for one mod and then after it gets closed it's almost impossible to find.

Basically a DIFFtool/compatibility patch for all the mods in your load order. You sort your load order, fire up FNVEdit, right click, select "Create merged patch" and go to town. Basically a good first defense against crashes/buggy as gently caress off game.

Is the mod over all good and is there a way I can pick and choose what of these things are modified?

So what's the consensus on New Vegas Redesigned? I got tired of Veronica looking like she had a hair lip so I went poking around for companion redesigns. I found one that I like but it requires Redesigned 2. I like a lot of the redone faces in the previews but some stuff is just overzealous and ugly, like Mr Handy reskins. Is the mod over all good and is there a way I can pick and choose what of these things are modified?

Also the guns are all ugly as poo poo except the 9mm which is all I've been using. Is there a gun mod that just remodels/textures the existing weapons without adding new ones. I'm trying to keep a vanilla gameplay experience.EDIT: Arenovalis. Somehow missed that in the OP, the first few reads.

I have a somewhat retarded question, but a question anyway.

Is there a way or mod to cheat myself the 7500 caps on the Sierra Madre casino? I really despise* gambling, gamblers, the concept of gambling, people who like gambling and people who make gambling equipment so I cannot be assed to try the idiotic requirement so I can claim my complimentary vouchers.

*Mainly because I suck at it.

Aside from being able to cheat in however many caps you want (without dealing with console commands) You can use the storage access to yank out all the gold from the bunker without dragging around a chunk of Elijah.

If you give a real-deal has-weight skillbook, it actually gives both the player and npc the permanent boost (again, affected by Comprehension).

The first time Follows Chalk commented about all the caps I was carrying, I noticed I had a few hundred thousand.

I've been playing Honest Hearts for the first time. (Well, all of the DLCs, first playthrough since launch.) The Survivalist's journals are... intense.

They ate them.


And then you read everything after, and it's not like him writing "I think I should just blow my brains out right now" (which he does write at an entirely different point). You can see how he writes and feel how dead he is inside because he becomes so very direct and methodical.

It's been awhile since I was reminded how powerful text can be in games. Like, I don't really care much about fetching supplies but this stuff is good.

That's one of the reasons why I like Lombard Station so much. So many shelves to fill with so many weapons and boxes of ammo. Yeah, you could handload most of the ammo, but it's not like you can make your own guns!

And all weapons on the wall must be in pristine condition.

I don't remember ever seeing the Washington monuments in FO3. I wonder what the Fallout games would look like if every real-world location was to-scale.

For those who want to use the car mod but hate the wrecked roads, somebody has made a mod that makes the roads XRE Car friendly.

You never did the quest for Three Dog to repair the broadcasting dish?

Does Lombard Station need a patch or something after the last DLC? Cause some of my ammo and weapons aren't displaying on the shelves and walls.

Psion posted:

I swear all I do is post about this. I have a file, called lombard_station_ammo_sorting_fix.7z which replaces the main and the GRA ESPs for Lombard Station. I know someone in one of the FO threads on this forum made the drat thing. Where's a good place to upload it, since I can't find the old link?
