It was a mod that added a bunch of custom voiced NPCs to the game and I think it was by the same people who did Interesting NPCs for Skyrim? I can't find it on the Nexus. Heh, I just found that mod yesterday. http://3dnpc.com/tag/fallout-new-vegas/ I think they mentioned something about some of the material used being....uh, not entirely their own so it would be taken off Nexus. Nexus has remove a lot of great mods I'm interested in. It's very frustrating.

Thanks for all of the responses. Maybe it's not something I should have started looking at first thing in the morning, but I got so loving lost with all of the modding processes. I'm not exactly computer-illiterate either, but my eyes started glazing over once I watched the 5th tutorial video with a guy saying "it's EASY! Just rawrwarawrrawr" and just feeling like I missed out on something else I should know about an hour ago.

If it's your first time playing the game I would go for the bugfix mod and maybe casm and jesawyer mod. play it as vanilla as you can

Floodixor posted:Thanks for all of the responses. I feel ya. I'm hopeless with tech stuff and all the tutorials about how everything is easy made me feel dumber when inevitably everything collapsed. Luckily, for New Vegas at least, I found that there was one specific mod that was causing most of my woes. I still have some weird bugs in my game - characters teleporting around in a certain area - but that's nothing to the constant crashes and freezes I was having. Watch out for the Chems, Alcohol and Medicine mod. It was really fun and interesting but it was the reason I was constantly playing NV ind read of crashing whenever I opened a door. Also, I was looking at the JSawyer mod. I have Project Nevada so I'll ahve to leave it for anotehr time but I was curious about its changes to Karma. I have heard for years how he made Col. Moore Evil instead of Neutral and looking it up.... quote:Colonel Moore Alignment changed from Neutral to Evil The Van Graffs is a good change but Moore being Evil while Caesar, House and Lanius are Neutral is....weird.

ThaumPenguin posted:New Vegas Tick Fix includes a High FPS Fix which solves the physics and lipsync issues of playing above 60 FPS, so if you use that you won't need to cap your framerate at 60.

NikkolasKing posted:The Van Graffs is a good change but Moore being Evil while Caesar, House and Lanius are Neutral is....weird.

The "good side" of the Legion is just that their territory is safe from raiders, a rare commodity in the wasteland. That's it.

I've said it in the other thread too, the Legion is it's potential for the Empire afterwards. It's not a nation unto itself like the NCR is, much like Julius Caesar, the Colorado is his Rubicon and he's coming back to Rome to build his new Republic. The questions in supporting the Legion is if Caesar can create the republic before he dies, can he have an heir who can do it if he does die (IE, someone competent other than Lanius), and if the means are acceptable to reach the ends. The simple fact is you only ever really see Caesar loving the NCR sideways (and make no mistake, without the courier's intervention, the NCR will lose), and it's very easy to get tricked into thinking the Legion exists just to be a slightly more complex raider faction who are your intended opponents. I believe they had actually intended for you to get some more peaceful Legion stuff on the otherside of the river, it just never got made for time constraints. Which is unfortunate.

I don't see the problem with having an outright evil faction. There are outright evil people on real life, and just because most of life isn't always clear cut doesn't mean there aren't also moments where the right choice is obvious. Fallout and the Witcher both dabble with grey morality at times but that is not always the case nor should it always be the case. Just as there are complicated scenarios in reality, so are there ones with simple solutions. Evil is evil, greater, smaller, middling.

Yeah, I always saw the stuff about Obsidian wanting to add more detail about life under the Legion as a desire to flesh out the faction and make them more believable, rather than as a desire to make a "Maybe the roving army of rapists is right" argument.

Whatever the Legion was intended as, what they are is an unambiguous villain faction with a cool backstory and some neat characters. That's probably more fitting for the series than four morally grey options; joining the Legion is just a more in-depth version of joining The Master back in the day

ThaumPenguin posted:Nothing good can be built on a foundation of atrocity, the means determine the end. And this is why Wild Card is the only defensible choice. The NCR looks prettier than the Legion but they're still just invading imperialists here to rob the Mojae of a valuable resource. They're emulating America specifically Manifest Destiny (*cough Lebenstraum *cough*) America. And of course the first thing House did when he woke up was kill all the poor people until the rest took the hint and moved into their ghettos to die slowly there instead. Every faction save Yes Man is an outsider trying to impose their will on the Mojave and force it to comply to their whims and have already committed various crimes before the game even began.

^^^ EDIT: It’s funny, while my favourite play through is easily House because the performance is just so awesome (RIP), I could only ever look at my character as “Becoming House’s Vader.” He’s straight up Palpatine evil. Lightningproof posted:Yeah, I always saw the stuff about Obsidian wanting to add more detail about life under the Legion as a desire to flesh out the faction and make them more believable, rather than as a desire to make a "Maybe the roving army of rapists is right" argument. Yeah, this is pretty much the only reason I would be interested in seeing more Legion land. I’m comfortable with thinking that the of cosplaying rapists lead by a guy hopped up on Hegel is 100% evil. From speaking with Raul or that one trader in the Legion, you get the impression that people only support them because they have no choice: either they’ve been forced into the slave army after their home was destroyed, or they were up against any number of other cosplay armies hopped up on [insert prewar philosopher here] and picked the one that looked like they could protect their home. I’m a bit more interested in seeing that since it can inform you of the raw dangers of the wastelands, something that’s a bit absent in New Vegas given how developed the region is. i am tim! fucked around with this message at 12:34 on May 25, 2020 |

The problem with Caesar beyond the atrocities is that he is trying to restart the World. He's viewing the New World as broken and closer to early history, and so it has to follow the patterns of old history to rebuild itself. But the big revelation of Fallout is that the world never ended, it just changed.

After watching part of a YouTube series I decided to go back and play New Vegas again. I remembered Project Nevada and have been playing with it and some other things from the OP mod list, but I've seen some comments about PN being replaced by new stuff. Is this accurate or just people promoting their own favorite mods?

Just because they were living subsistence life style doesn’t make it a good thing for the capitalist to come and force them to give up their entire culture and society and cosplay for his entertainment. No part of that is a “generous offer”

yes the not so generous offer of "Hey theres this group of assholes coming east calling themselves the NCR, you can either get absorbed or hosed by em (ask those new guys, the Khans), or you can work for me, unfuck the strip, run a casino, have enough food to be loving picky gourmands, host your own entertainment show, make drugs, whatever. Youll be part of the local power structure and help me milk the NCR for every penny theyve got, youll basically have conplete autonomy and ill be around to settle disputes." if house wasnt around the NCR wouldve done the same poo poo on far less generous terms

The Legion is also plainly evil. The NCR is only somewhat evil because at least there‘s the veneer of being a liberal democracy. House is the most evil in this case because he actually did exterminate many people with drone warfare, and destroyed the culture and way of life for many others.
