yea releasing a version for downgraded games seems like the way to go here. Shit took live seven years to make, they're not going to build it from the ground up again just for Bethesda to break it again in two weeks because they want to release more stupid creation club shit.
 
A lot of the mods I want to use for Fallout New Vegas have been relocated to Nexus. Should I just make an account there, or is that a bad idea?

Make an account for downloading mods but stay away from the forums. They are ultra pozzed and if you try posting anything remotely similar to the kind of shit you post on here you'll be banned in like five seconds.

I think most of us have seen the full version of the opposite speech. I never saw this one before because I couldn't figure out how to beat I Put a Spell on You in his favor before meeting him (you don't - you need to play the NCR version and deliberately fuck it up, at least according to the comments).

had no idea you could get Salos out of Camp Mcaren
 
I have been thinking about replaying Fallout 1, never made a melee build in the first game
@Gravityqueen4life which mods are you using to run it? You mentioned the Fallout 2 mod, do you have some tutorial how to run it for F1? Last time i played modded F2 was 6 years ago, i can't remember which mods I used. I have the GOG Fallout 1 classic version, i've read there were some issues with that new, censored version GOG is selling right now.

I had no idea some of these bits of dialogue existed. Crazy how it seems every year I still learn more shit about New Vegas. It's the gift that refuses to stop giving.

its a mod that puts on fallout two mechanics and graphical improvements to fallout one. just read the READ ME notepad on how to install it. its really simple.
 
I don't know why the NCR needed me to do that bullshit with the reflectors when the Pimp Boy 3 Billion delivers 10x the solar energy directly into my eyes whenever it catches the sun.

I did some research for the first time on Fallout Van Buren and it turns out that the developers originally had plans to have the NCR wiped out. I wonder how that would have changed the course of the series.

One of the original endings of Van Buren was that the Battle of the Hoover Dam would be a sneak attack event not foreshadowed to the player. That the NCR would make a surprise war effort right into New Vegas and take the Legion unaware and off guard. They would wait until the Legion festival of Saturnalia and then rapidly ransack and attack as much Legion territory as possible. This was changed so that the Legion would only be a small faction in Van Buren and then they would be the main faction in the sequel.

You could also sabotage the Hoover Dam to prevent anyone from getting it. With planted explosives or using the satellite laser (that made its way into New Vegas). Most of the endings from what I remember had the Hoover Dam get entirely destroyed beyond repair.

The original idea with the Legion was that they and some of the other Tribals like the Twisted Hairs were bringing back slavery in huge numbers. And that there would be whispers and foreshadowing to the player about the rise of slavery in regions adjacent to the Mojave. And there would be a significant amount of refugee NPCs that would discuss their escape from slavery of the new raider groups. And then in the next game you'd see the end result of unchecked Legion power as slavery would become the primary source of labor in the Mojave Wasteland. And you'd finally meet people like Joshua and Caesar.

Van Buren certainly went through a lot of rewrites. But you can see the massive influence it had on New Vegas.

They were still present in the design docs, having scouts and chain gangs (who would become the original Powder Gangers) as far as Denver, but their presence on the map was limited iirc outside of there and Hoover Dam, which was a full blown settlement. The main villains were also ex NCR, the antagonist Presper being a former scientific advisor to Tandi and his goons being from the military
 
Tim Cain, one of the creators of the Fallout series, made an extremely controversial yet based video about shopping carts. Not only does Cain discuss the implications of either returning or not returning your shopping cart, but he's also able to connect it back to the game design philosophy. Once again, his arguments have more depth than those of Emil PagLIARulo. The last time PagLIARulo made a public speech, it was incoherent and proved he only has the position of lead game designer at Bethesda through nepotism.
