Dunno if its an exploit or just the reward for playing an action build.

I meant exploit more as in how little effort it takes to make an AP Gun build (especially + Gifted) and how easily it steamrolls things in comparison to other builds but exploit is probably too strong a word. "Easily abused gameplay mechanics" I guess
 
Did some more playing around with A Tale of Two Wastelands 3.2, tips for people wanting to get back into it now that I got a handle on what broke modding wise.

First off, get this for using the GECK, it will crash if you try to mod anything otherwise.

There are instructions on the TTW forums for making sure this hooks nicely in TTW's changes, follow them and have fun modding.

As for mods, if it's a stock Fallout New Vegas mod, it should work fine. If it's a TTW mod, make sure it works for TTW 3.2

For example, this one works great with 3.2

https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/50312

Version 2.9 TTW mods are generally gonna fuck up in some way, though if it just replaced body textures or something like that, I haven't noticed any issues (For instance Type3/Type6 body mods that were given tweaks to play nice with TTW or just work for Fallout New Vegas haven't given me any problems)

If you want to try the Fallout California mega mod with TTW, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Both the California guys and TTW guys admit up front neither of their mods were meant to play nice with each other due to mass structural changes between the two, and any mods that try to make them compatible are, to quote one of the TTW mods, "a bandaid on a crack in a glacier", meaning it might be stable on the surface, but something is going to go to hell sooner or later and dick over your entire save.

Some TTW mods that make heavy use of NVSE functions might not play nice with some with stock FNV mods that also use NVSE.

Example: Mojave Arsenal for TTW 3.2 causes CTDs when use with a lot of FNV mods that use NVSE, like Ultimate Scavenger.

Some stuff does work with TTW 3.2 with patches, like Project Nevada (Core module only for now), get it on the TTW forums.
 
FUCKING OOPS!

In what may very well be the most bizarre and unsettling twist in the ongoing saga that is Fallout 76, players reported Wednesday that they inadvertently gained access to the support tickets of fellow Fallout 76 players.

Not only did other gamers gain access to these tickets, they were able to see personal information such as addresses, phone numbers and credit card information.

It gets weirder, of course---I'm not sure it could get any worse---because not only could players see this information, they could actually edit and resolve support tickets themselves, giving them all sorts of power over the fates of their fellow Fallout 76 players. Many of these tickets were apparently related to the canvas bag kerfuffle surrounding the $200 Power Armor Edition of the game---a controversy that feels quaint compared to what just happened today.

This is, to put it mildly, beyond shocking and a massive invasion of privacy. The implications of this security breach could haunt Bethesda well into the future---certainly more than the usual Bethesda glitch. While the issue appears to have been resolved, it's more than a little unsettling to think that anyone with bad intentions could have grabbed up loads of personal information from Fallout 76 players. What they do with that information is best left unspoken. Suffice to say, if you submitted a support ticket to Bethesda, be vigilant.



Writing on the Fallout 76 subreddit, user u/Jessiepie revealed what was going on, though other players quickly discovered that they, too, could see and edit other support tickets:

Hi guys! First time Reddit poster here. I am a gleeful vault dweller as yourselves and as of this moment I am receiving every single one of your support tickets on my Bethesda account. Mostly it's your receipts for you power armor set requesting a new bag. These receipts contain all your info. Your email and home address and the card you used to buy this extremely glitched game. I can see the problems you are having with the game, yes I'm having them too. And I know a few of you want a refund that Bethesda has said can't happen. I can update your ticket for you, if you'd like. And close it! How fun is that? Please rest assure I have no desire to stalk you or mess with your Fallout 76 experience. I just wanted to let y'all know that this is happening atm. Anyway, I gave Bethesda a heads up via the Twitter. So we will see. I wouldn't want to be the person having to respond to all of you. Currently there's 8 pages of canvas bag requests, tickets and "fix or refund me" demands. Is there anyone enjoying the game like me? Oh well! See you in Appalachia. Be nice to each other. I love you!


On the Bethesda forums, a user opened a thread with this:

Beware with what information you put in your tickets, cause they are basically public !

I went on the support website today, to update a ticket of mine, and surprisingly (or not...) I ended up being able to see all sorts of tickets, with people putting their personnal informations in them, like receipt screenshots, names, addresses and so on. I'm assuming this is a bug in the website, because I don't see for what reason Bethesda would make tickets public.

I'm not going to paste screenshots of what I have access to for the privacy of people, but I can see receipts of people from all over the world, and if I can, other people probably can too.

It seems like the code of the web site sucks as much as the one of the game.

Please wake up Bethesda, this is becoming really serious here. You might wanna fire all your disabled coders ASAP, for the good of the players and the Fallout series, thanks.

Both posts initially included screenshots as proof but those were, understandably, taken down to protect private information. And while Bethesda has told customers that the issue has been resolved, there has been no other communication assuring customers of the security of their private information. Bethesda even locked the threads on their own support site, shutting down discussion (though discussion continues on reddit, Twitter and elsewhere.)

This is, if you hadn't gathered yet, a very big deal. It's a much bigger deal than the nylon "bag-gate" controversy. It's honestly a bigger deal than Fallout 76 not being very good. Somehow Bethesda allowed anyone with a computer, an internet connection and a Bethesda account to have access to hundreds of other players' support tickets and private information as well as the ability to edit and close those tickets. I can't even.

Hopefully we get a more detailed statement from the publisher soon. I've reached out to Bethesda for comment and will update this post when we learn more.

Good grief.

I keep thinking things are maybe going to be resolved, but then they just keep failing.

It's beautiful.

His pro-fo76 streams are attracting an ungodly amount of A-logs that keep spamming their videos.

In news tangentially related to Fallout Obsidian revealed The Outer World's, a Space Sci-fi adventure with at least some NV flavour

Essential New Vegas mods?

If you enjoyed the first two games, I recommend Cirosan’s Classic Overhaul.

https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/44027/

Changes up the stat distribution to be more like the old games, plus, like in Fallout 2, if you have high Charisma, you can have more than two companions at once, who are all also balanced accordingly.

Also, check out all the cut content mods as well.

Fallout 4 is an M rated game, 12 year olds shouldn't be watching his videos to begin with.

That being said, I just can't take Oxhorn seriously. I mean, look at him. He might be the nicest and coolest person IRL for all I know, but all I see is just some fat beardo sippin' on Scotch and puffin on cigars like he's some Victorian era gentleman of culture, when all he does is talk about video games for a living!

Oxhorn is the kind of guy who'd really be into steampunk if he didn't have Bugthesda games.

It's the melodramatic narration that does it for me. I mean, there's some fascinating lore buried in his videos, but I just can't get through someone ponderously declaiming a way-too-detailed description of a bombed out gas station for forty minutes.
 
Bethesda just can't help themselves, they're at it a-fucking-gain. For the totally outrageous price of $80, you too can get the new Nuka-Dark, a Fallout-themed dark rum:

I hate how the new Nuka-Cola bottles look but alright, no biggie, at least it's a neat- wait a minute...

I miss fallout new Vegas, i kinda wish that another fallout game would come out taking place there but i doubt that would ever happen. And there would be no real reason for that to happen, idk i just really enjoyed NV the most out of all of the fallout games and i just want to see more of it.
 
I think it's funny how they talked about West Virginia's rich folklore before 76 came out and that basically just translated to a bunch of contextless boss monsters.
