>>731079795yes I always play as a weak submissive girl
>>731078718Cuz the engine and animations are kind of ass, and enemies just rush you mindlessly up close and have zero response to you fighting them from afar. Because Skyrim and NV are both at their core console shooters despite having bigger fanbases today on PC. So do you rush up and deal with the stupid NPCs or just pick them apart from far away when they can't do anything to you or even notice you? Thus the engine and its limitations leads to "stealth archer meta" because it's the least offensive playstyle with the least difficulties.
What are the best mods for NV?
>>731083739The whole point of an RPG is playing it in different ways
>>731083889Someguy2000s mods are still my favorite
>>731083889There aren't really any bad mods for new vegas. Just avoid slop mods that only do one retardedly specific thing like '4k stop signs upscaled.' Most big mods are made with compatibility with other big mods in mind, sort by endorsements I don't remember what the hell any of them are called.
>>731083828New vegas might not be super deep combat wise, but I wouldn't say it's elder scrolls levels of mindless. The ammo system adds a lot to the game, and close quarters combat does just boil down to clicking the mouse button as fast as you can. That being said, it's still fun
>>731083889I've really enjoyed DUST, just go blind and don't install anything besides core and bugfixes.
>>731083646NV as a whole is garbage, no mods can fix that either
>>731084541I would recommend getting Dust Expansion Project and Ink and Ash at the very least.
>>731084102>>731085145>>7310836461. The enemies aren't that aggressive or accurate. 2. There are few interesting combat encounters. Most of the time it's you on a giant open field and shooting someone. Even F3-F4 had more actual dungeons, levels, and combat encounters. 3. Most enemies are lightly armored raiders. That's probably the core of it.
>>731083889inventory sorternever minded it before, now i can't play without iti also like the one that disables the shovel requirement for the 2 total times that will ever happen the entire game. game may have tricked me into carrying a shovel everywhere first playthrough but never again.

For me, it's the melee/explosives chem addict murderhobo.
>>731086416All play styles in this game are viable. You have to fuck up supremely bad, like intentionally fail a test by getting all the wrong answers in order to make a character fail in all regards. New vegas is very forgiving
>>731086437Min/maxxing is a disease

>>731078718this thing + explosive ammo is literally cheating
>>731086690Well, true. But I think it ultimately just boils down to what do you like more for a character. Rather than how viable it is. Like do you wanna play as someone who hates guns? Melee and unarmed is completely viable
>>731086416no, it isn't. you are retarded. meta is a prefix. when taking about games and "the meta", it is shorthand for "the metagame". this means the understanding of the game and how moves and decisions are made by most players based on a variety of factors. the meta of any given game can shift even without updates, balance changes, etc. the meta is about how players relate to the game and each other. "most effective tactic available" is a backronym, an acronym applied retroactively to something. it isn't the real meaning of meta.
>>731086690Shut the fuck up nigger. Meta, meta, meta, can you go one post without typing meta?

>>731087049This kinda gun makes me wish that the Fallout tribals actually invoked traditional Indian American tribes. I wish the Legion was based of those cultures instead of Rome.

>>731090228>This kinda gun makes me wish that the Fallout tribals actually invoked traditional Indian American tribes. I wish the Legion was based of those cultures instead of Rome.You and me both desu. If you're gonna go full retard with the nuclear winter again at least pay a few tribes some cases of Listerine to get their feedback on how the Injuns would do war. When Mother Earth and Father Sky are more irradiated than the average /v/tards balls from an all nighter on LoL with their shitty faptops.Not even just injuns either you can take already existing groups like the 1%, hillbillies, watered down Heavens Gate cults and various sectors of the civilian government to give them 200 years of cultural divergence. If some autists making the HoI4 mod can make shit up Emil Faglarilo should have some ideas up in his head. He made Nate the Rake a thing after all.Eddy Sallow and co conquered 88 tribes across Arizona. They can't all have been shit sniffing illiterates and grass skirt wearing cannibals. There must've been some that simply couldn't cope against the numbers of football wearing faggots engaging in meat grind campaigns.
>>731090228The Legion are Taliban with a European culture filter.
>>731090331Fiends or the Khans? Vipers and Jackals are pretty much just a footnote at this point after the NCR buckbroke the shit out of them. And everybody else forgot their snake venom rituals where they inject it straight into the balls.
>>731090856Comparing religious fundamentalist to a completely non religious practical ideology is an extremely dumb take.

>>731086453I wish this guy would un-fuck the T-45 a little and give it its proper shoulders. The other armors are good though.
I disagree
>>731091096It's meant to make allusions to the Iraq and Afghan wars, and the Legion are the Jihadist insurgents or Taliban. Edward Snow has some allusions to Mohammad and his successor as well, someone who had this great vision and ended up conquering the tribes and unifying them. By coating them in a Roman paint it makes them palletable and non-offensive, since if you made them native or Islamic, they would be accused of racism when it's really not the point.Legion and Taliban are no fun allowed ultra-conservative authoritarians who think they have the right to control the region.A big change, and something that might make the story better is if the Mojave was originally Legion territory, and the NCR are the invaders, thus the locals hate the NCR.
>>731091096>take
>>731090856They're closer to ISIS (Accelerationist tribal unifier group with a veneer of religious philosophy to control the lower strata). The only difference is the Legion's trying to accelerate to a perfect postpostmodern society for the wastelands while ISIS wants to start the apocalypse.
If you played mainly guns in NV you fucked up since every playstyle is more fun, especially explosives.
>>731091158That's a pretty good choice. I really like the rustic gear but for the Courier I tend to gravitate towards the more military grade options the moment I get the service rifle.
>>731091489>fire rocket launcher across a fairly open dungeon room>ragdoll yourself (and the twelve other fuckheads in there with you) anywayThat shit was excessive but it was fun.
what are some good shooting/snipping gaems with bullet falloff I enjoyed beyond citadel just because the carbine
>>731091489Some of the energy weapons are good but I don't want to roleplay a fucking Nerd to get the relevant perks.
>>731091127>a juryrigged hologram projector wired up to shoot unformed hardlight at your enemies>the power requirements alone are so immense you're practically front-loading four cells at a time like a shotgun>even the gauss rifle and tesla cannons will use one at a time at best with the later using the much lower powered ECPs.When you think about it the holorifle is a miracle that hasn't blown your hands off with how fucked up the implications are around the thing.
>>731091624sniper ghost warriorssniper elite
>>731091764Nah, the rifle only burns one cell at a time. Your character pumps after every shot just like with the hunting shotgun or 40mm launcher. Part of the purpose to rigging it to the 40mm is that the tube and pump are the right size to cycle cells into the action, conveniently.
>>731091997Still the energy usage of burning entire cells is bad enough when most weapons in that category will get multiple shots out of them. It's understandable for the gauss since that has to accelerate a sabot to fly out at immense speeds. You're taking what was essentially a test case product that needs a main residential energy supply to properly function and blinking out weaponized portions of it. If you had a far stronger energy reserve you could jump up towards a beam weapon that showers everything Martian Attacks style.
The weirdest part of Fallout lore is many different wonder-inventions being created very shortly before the war. Shit like handheld terraforming, cold fusion, hardlight constructs and programmable matter transformers. Any single one of these would transform the modern world.
>>731093556"prototype creep" as the franchise progresses is really funny to me. All of the technology in the Bethesda games and most of the technology in the non-Bethesda games is either pre-war or invented by the Enclave, so to add new items to future games they have to keep inventing secreter and secreter military research labs inventing wackier and wackier prototype technology and then retconning how rare the cool shit from previous games was to make the new stuff seem more special>Fallout 1 and 2 only have T-51 power armor>Fallout 3 invents T-45 power armor which is very common in the Capital Wasteland but non-existent in the west because all of it was deployed to Alaska or China and never replaced>in Fallout New Vegas the dregs of the West Coast Brotherhood find their own caches of T-45 offscreen after getting btfo of California>in Fallout 4 it turns out that there was a type of power armor that's even more powerful than T-51 but so new and so rare that it was only deployed to enforce martial law in a handful of important east coast cities (but not DC for some reason)
>>731093556>Shit like handheld terraforming, cold fusion, hardlight constructs and programmable matter transformers. Any single one of these would transform the modern world.That's what makes it compelling. The world was close to solving their issues but they all came in too little too late. OWB despite the penis finger memes is the biggest example of this lost potential going by the broken down facilities and people scattered across Big MT. You have the prototypes for heat retaining miracle alloys, transporters, matter replicators, full body cybernetics and a way to turn the dead into immortal warriors that look like they crawled out of pulp dime novel. Dr Mobius is one of the most tragic characters in this regard because he saw it all play out in real time.
>>731094217> Enclave know about T-51 and create the Advanced Power Armor post-war.> Fallout 4 / 76> "Actually no CHUD it was prewar, here's the "X-01", for some reason we gave it to the guy who owns Nuka-Cola."
>>731094323>The world was close to solving their issues but they all came in too little too late.and in the case of Big MT, their miracle technology was entirely in the hands of 6 insane people who didn't give a fuck about it's civilian applications and just wanted to torture prisoners and scam Sinclair
>>731094217Bethesda trying to tie the biggest advances into a few major players like Vault-Tec and the Enclave is some of the gayest shit around. You had other companies playing a role like West Tek with the T-51b and FEV after it failed in stopping the spread of the super plague. You used to have Wattz with their line of commercial energy weapons that were glorfied flashlights at best. Everything doesn't have to be boiled down into marketing slop that you can use to hock off subpar mech with.
>>731094587>their miracle technology was entirely in the hands of 6 insane people who didn't give a fuck about it's civilian applications and just wanted to torture prisoners and scam SinclairThey were fucked long before the brain gel and 200 years of wear got to them desu. The environmental storytelling alone has that in spades.
>>731094217They eventually walked the T-60 back into being an upgrade kit for T-45 that was supposed to be a middle ground between 45 and T-51 since it was all solid steel and didn't rely as much on exotic/complicated materials but the implimentation in 4 is still really harebrained. I don't understand why they're so enamored with it either, because it's also the only suit that's shown up in the show.
>>731094868yeah, if anything the robot-ification made them less capable of being evil, the shit they were doing pre-war was fucking vile and I kill Mobius and the Think Tank every single time just for that
>>731094909>I don't understand why they're so enamored with it either, because it's also the only suit that's shown up in the show.Been that way since 3 like they're trying to get some brand association going by the silhouette alone. That and elevating the Vaultboy mascot to the realms of Mickey Mouse minus the longnose antics.
>>731081634NV was /v/core years before trannies discovered it. If a tranny forced its way into your house and refused to leave you'd move to a new house rather than kicking it out, that's the kind of bitch mentality you have.

how did FNV go from chud to troon?
>>731098804>dodging shots like a bitch instead of face-tanking
>>731099198Yes and no. His Old Vaquero perk gives him 33% faster rate of fire with revolvers and leaver guns. Medicine Stick decimates with his faster rate of fire, and has a larger ammo capacity. That, and I don't really associate a bolt gun with cowboys.
>>731085550>The enemies aren't that aggressive or accurate.?????>There are few interesting combat encounters. Most of the time it's you on a giant open field and shooting someone.Bullshit, most of the intended fights are pretty well designed. NV uses terrain and elevation way more than 3 did.
>>731085550Oh, and>Most enemies are lightly armored raiders.You start encountering enemies with metal armor as so as you leave prim.
>>731078718this things dps is pure ass on top of being hard to acquire repair and get ammo for. almost any other gun is better and any gun for the cowboy perk mogs it
>>731101231There's even a dude with combat armor if you head north from Goodpsrings. I think that fucker has a grenade rifle too.
>>731094217>>731094462Fallout 3 has Hellfire Power Armor as a brand new Power Armor variant until they retconned it into ALSO being pre-war in 4 or 76 or some shit.I want to strangle everyone who calls APA Mk I, "X-01".
>>731095265explosives is meta in real life.
>>731098804Based fister
>>731102892Technically it's stealth explosives for the IRL meta.
>>731078718actually unarmed is meta
>>731102497There is a bunch of mercs sitting in the corner up from that one Jackals spawn that are rocking the MKII combat armor. You can get a unique gauss rifle too from the party leader.
>>731085796Because its meant to be used to disable vehicles, or to hit targets through armored barricades.Anti-material, it puts the material aside to reach its target.
>>731085796Materiel*>The equipment, apparatus, and supplies of a military force or other organization.It's for bricking trucks and shit. Basically anything short of an actual armored vehicle is supposed to fear this thing.
>>731078718I like that in OWB they kept spawning enemies on top of you to fuck with people who played the game as a stealth sniper
>>731103807I can tolerate the lobotomites with trail carbines/brush guns but fuck the gigabuffed night stalkers those arent fun to fight.
>>731103807The funny thing about OWB is that most of the overworld encounters are trigger based. So if you know where to walk you can avoid 90% of the intended fights.
>>731104003>he doesn't beat them to death with his bare fists
>>731078718>>731078718Personally, I'm a fan of energy weapons to the point i did a bunch of NV and FO1 & 2 weapons for Fallout 4 modders to use as their concept art.I don't particularly care for lack of credit given it's pretty obvious even the big projects have like used my work and then are like well.. ..we did the concept.
>>731104618Despite how shitty the default pewpews sound on occasion the energy weapons did see a decent amount of love when it came to their depiction. Laser RCW being just a souped up Tommy Gun rigged to fire lasers is legit. And the three variants of the Recharger line being an attempt to make a self sufficient weapon that generates its own ammo without an external source. If Gamebryo could into full body gore you could have the lasers slicing people in half again to coincide with plasma turning the rest into goop. Bloody Mess is fine but eventually the giblets will disappear and having a place strewn with severed and cauterized torsos and legs would elevate the encounters beyond the usual. From what little I saw in the Fallout 4 modding section there has been a decent amount of exchange between the previous games to line up with the usual tacticool and modern era weaponry. Can't imagine anyone is looking to bring back the Institute versions let alone the sameface assault rifle and shotguns.
Medicine Stick always
>>731098804>Red HUDCalm down, edgelord
>>731105626>From what little I saw in the Fallout 4 modding section there has been a decent amount of exchange between the previous games to line up with the usual tacticool and modern era weaponryIt has only been this way for a short time. For most of its existence the majority of weapon mods for Fallout 4 were tacticool junk or direct ports from Call of Duty. In just a couple of years there have been so many good weapon mods that it can finally compete with modded NV in this regard. It's even getting ported to NV.
>>731105784it's perfect for my cannibal drug addict psycho character
Why is power armour so shit in NV?It's clunky, slow, out of place and doesn't even offer that much advantage over medium or even light amour
Every FNV playthrough ends with me completely forgetting all the late game weapons and mods/ammo to go with them, loaded on caps, items stuffed in my player house that I chose and forget to use. Usually I'm just stuck with something decent enough and wearing either the Ranger Vet armor or some kinda metal or unaffiliated faction armor from the DLCs. The game tosses so many advantages to you on purpose, from the endless profitable legion or NCR squads to quests giving you caps and so on.
>>731078718yeah but the anti-materiel rifle is super cool so I'll let it slide. my 2nd favorite gun is the sawnoff though, I really grew to like the weapon when I did a one hander only run. it with the shotgun perks as my "get the fuck off me" weapon was super clutch, it also made me use the other ammo types alot more because it wasn't crazy damage stat wise with the default ammo like other shotguns.
>>731106195Props to the madlads for doing that. Not like we're going to be seeing a Fallout 5 anytime soon.
>>731105626I would like to see more homemade stuff if, I'll be frank.
>>731106525That's correct. The DT values are dismal and not even really worth it. You can rock some combat armor, or any of the DLC bonus broken armors and do better. Just level 1 without killing a single enemy you can grab:>Chinese stealth armor (12 DT)>Leather Armor, Reinforced (10 DT)>Combat Armor, Reinforced Mark 2 (20 DT)>Combat Armor, Reinforced (17 DT)>Combat Armor (15 DT)Power armor thus isn't really worth the hastle to get.
>>731098804Its what she would have wanted
>>731107613Yeah Ive never felt the need for power armor besides getting Arcade's Enclave armor and thats a special case.
Did anyone make a mod to overhaul/change dealing with House? I love NV but just walking to the back and accessing him with no issue is a black eye on the game.>Yes Man route just hacks in for you>Legion finds a way from the sewers into the Lucky 38 bowels and up to him>NCR give you a small squad to just punch through>Ignore that and simply hack the terminal yourself or go to R&R to uncover more info and passwords
>>731106525light armor is OP as fuck because of DLC power creep and the number of perks that buff it
Now I have the FNV itch againAlways wanted to do a pure explosive run, starting with the DLC grenade launcher is lame though. Can't remember where the first normal rocket launcher is.
>>731108726There's one in Black Mountain I'm pretty sure.
>>731108726Explosives do suck in the early game. No frags, no launchers, just dynamite, no caps to buy the good stuff.
>>731108127Wowie, so quirky and unique!Always put a bullet on that redditor's head.
>>731107569Same. There was one little homemade revolver mod that I enjoyed using in Fallout 4.
>>731108904She's nowhere near as insufferable as Arcade but I understand
>>731108726>>731108848the unique missile launcher is in Black Mountain if you can kill a nightkin for it at level 1
>>731108726I had alot of fun grabbing Annabelle and going into Lonesome Road for Red Glare.
>>731108996You're right.
>>731108996Yeah, that's the only one until the Boomers that I remember. Sounds like a bit of a tall ask, plus I imagine ammo to actually use it would be impractical.
Its cause light armor is too OP in New Vegas. There's literally no reason not to use Light Armor. Heavy armor for whatever is incredibly nerfed since they all give you -AGL and they dont even provide that much protection. Fucking pic related somehow has the same DR protection as riot gear despite riot gear essentially just being chest armor in jeans and trench coat.
>>731096683It's objectively the best gun of the game
>>731078718I'm playing this for the first time and I have no clue what the different bullet types are or how to mod weapons and I just use whatever I find. No build at all and it's been effective so far
>>731109349The ammo types are derived from real world ammo and have different effects. For instance, in the real world there's plinking 22LR roudns and then standard ones. 9mm has +P, etcHave you ever watched gun-tubers or have any experience with fire arms? What you want to look for are AP or armor piercing rounds, since those slice through even the toughest armor.

>>731109676yeah its a new game. I just downloaded the mod. everything in the agua fria MCM works, but the sliders to adjust health and carry weight dont. I started different new games and its still vanilla health and carry weight
>>731109286New Vegas doesn't use DR, it uses DT, and the Remnants armor has 8 DT higher than the Riot Gear. Though I think it should be higher and the 20% minimum damage should be removed. Yes Power armor should be essentially invulnerable to shitty little 9mm fire arms. Outside of critical to the head I guess. The Power Armors also don't give you the agility penalty except for the T-45.
>>731109858oh, no, just saying that Aqua Fria is new, and i've seen someone else say the same thing.JSUE "just works". The main difference between the original and base version is adding in 22LR ammotype for the Varmint rifle. The mod has a second file of additional autism balance that you can use or ignore.
>>731090228You know damn well they can't show Native Americans unless they want twitter trannies to riot endlessly.
>>731108726earliest you can get a missile launcher is black mountain, if you don't want do you that I think you can rush to nellis for their shop.
>>731110193Just bring in one Navajo consultant whose not a complete dumbass and understands nuance and you're fine.
>>731110360>in one Navajo consultantI know just the guy
>>731110360You could probably get one of the smaller nations for cheaper desu. Navajo, Iroquois and Lakota have been ripping cunts off for years between their loan sharking and tribal casinos. Took inspiration from the longnose tribe when it comes to swindling the white man.
>>731083889jsawyer mod.play the game as the dev intended.
>>731110193How much longer are we trapped in this hell where the industry still cares about what niggers on twitter think?
>>731109925Oh and speaking of: JSawyer's Director's Cut kinda sorta addresses this. He adds DR to all the metal armors as a means of buffing them and that includes combat armors and Power armors.
>>731109436I've shot an m-4 like 3 times while in the military, never learned or cared much about different ammo types. thanks for the tips
>>731110548though I love it, he admits in the readme that these are things that he experimented with, thought about, didn't have time to test out, or knew wouldn't get approval from the publisher. It is his attempt to rebalance the game post-dlc as well as well as fix issues fans have pointed out.
>>731110501Hey, they developed the brand, they might as well profit some. Plus their big ass nation is right where the Legion started off. Really it's kind of bullshit the Legion isn't explicitly Navajo themed. Though if you styled the whole faction off of them without some big wigs say so you might get in some legal hot water.
>>731078718no, sorryhunting shotgun with the chokeEZ clap
>>731083582>the one mojave nigga here that truly understands 100 unarmed run is fucking great
>>731110646in NV they're mostly just for varying levels of armor penetration and gun durability. armor piercing is self explanatory, some odd stuff like +p means higher pressure for 9mm, you can look up what jacketed hollow point (jhp) meansenergy weapons have alternate ammo too overcharge, max charge, optimized, which work similarly but are much more streamlined in terms of crafting compared to bullet/cartridges.
>>731110646If unsure, the fallout wiki covers all these things. The main thing to understand in the game is DT penalties or rewards. +P 9mm for instance, reduces the DT of enemies by 2 and does a bit more damage. Functionally no reason to not just use +9 after that. The Vance 9mm with +9 positively shreds for instance.. As a rule, pistol ammo typically does little to negate DT armor. Rifle rounds tend to have AP types that punch through it. Ammo types are functionally better or worse, and there's one that's often just REALLY good.
>>731109349Just use regular ammo unless you see a red shield next to the enemy health bar, if that happens then switch to armor piercing rounds. You don't really need to use hollow points or the 10 different kinds of ammo like match grade unless you are playing on very hard. Upgrades can only be bought from merchants, mostly from the Gunrunners or merchants in the 188 Trading Post, Chet also sells some but it's for tier 1 weapons like varmint rifles or plasma pistols. Not all weapons have upgrades.
>>731110747I can see some inspiration for the feathers for one of the Legion helmets but it looks more like an afro than anything really. You just know that someone is going to main the actual headdress and chaps if you slap a +1 stat boost and DT bonus when under the influence of firewater.
>>731110921oh and how the damage and DT system works: something like a JHP 9mm round can only be made via handloader and it raises damage by 65%.Well, what about most of the critters in the game? Turns out they have 0 DT! So multiples of 2 still equals zero, so you get a 65% damage bonus for "free".
>>731110862for me its
>>731111127Ludo
>>731111092Also, damage modifiers are applied before crits, so being a sneak archer with hollow point bullets is the best armor piercing build (until you're detected).
