Will you be replaying it to celebrate? Comment below, let me know!

 

[undecaf]

No.

only if there's a new modpack

Imagine being so close to a room temperature IQ number to not be able to read nexusmods and rely on "modpacks". I bet you also use Mod Organizer, nigger.

I replay New Vegas very often, it is one of the games I keep returning to, one of my home bases so to speak. So I will be honoring the 10 years, the 11 years, the 12 years etc.

Thanks to everyone involved for giving us such an awesome game. Dark times may follow sometimes, but put your talent and soul into something, and people are going to appreciate it.

I have been playing it for the last ten years.

Have you beaten it yet?

 

[Cerulean]

Hell Yeah. Might go back and play full-evil, finally doing all the Caesar quests.

Tempted to start a replay but I just recently suffered through parts of 3 again to try the DLCs, so... probably not the best time.

I'm sitting here wondering if it's my favorite 3D game of the 2010s. Only competition I can think of off the top of my head would maybe be an Arkane game.

 

[purupuru]

No. Busy replaying BG1&2 for the moment. Also played through New Vegas too many times already.

 

[Ol' Willy]

Never did full Legion run, hmm

 

[Tiger]

No it's fucking dogshit.

 

[Zer0wing]

full Legion

...

hmm

Such a shit game, a disgrace to the Fallout name

Now that i think about it, every Fallout after the first one was a disgrace actually

Josh is!

That's pretty cool! Thanks Normie! I shall store this is my FNV mods list I'm planning to build!

While at it, you should add No Mod Fix Limit too. Improve the game performance and stability massively.

Sadly not all team members can celebrate.
Not sure if it's a complete list as not all VAs have their own pages. Couldn't find any information on majority of designers and programmers.

RIP
Richard Herd JR (Father Elijah)
Barry Dennen (Dean Domino)
Rene Auberjonois (Robert House)
Alex Rocco (Big Sal)

Michael Hogan is probably in no condition to celebrate either.

 

[Kazuki]

So many great character VA

 

[Alphons]

Michael Hogan is probably in no condition to celebrate either.

Hopefully he recovers. Link to Gofundme to support him and his wife was retweeted by Fallout 4 New Vegas team so it's getting some traction.

I just started a new playthrough a few days ago. Finally doing a Legion run.

Josh is!

If I had wanted to add the content that JSawyer Ultimate added, I would have added it in my own mod.

Welp, that's basically all the confirmation that was needed. JSawyer Ultimate is and will always be PushTheWinButton's own vision for New Vegas.

OT: No, I won't be replaying it. I've played the game far too much and I'm already exhausted. Maybe I'll give it a go in a few years when my memory of the game is not so fresh.

 

[None]

Query: Is there a JSawyer but with more stuff that makes the game generally better but does not deviate from the function? I never played with JSawyer.

At the very least I'd play with JSawyer. He did pretty much all the balancing in the game and his mod is best viewed as a Director's Cut of sorts. If you are looking for a "Vanilla+" experience, here are a few other mods that I think fit that criteria.

Spoiler

General Gameplay Improvements
Weapon Mesh Improvement
Fixes the ironsights on weapons so they are actually zeroed.

Subtle Camera Motion
Stops the PC from having an epileptic seizure every time you reload a weapon.

Collision Meshes
Changes some meshes so you shoot through things that you would otherwise be unable to (gaps in fences, etc).

StewieAI's Tweaks
Adds the ability to change a lot of gameplay option by editing a .ini. Things like adding locational damage to melee attacks, allowing shooting while falling or jumping, and so many more. It's really worth giving a look.

Simple DLC Delay
Delays the DLC until certain levels are reached.


Visual
Charge's FNV HD Texture Packs
AI upscaled textures, available in 2k or 4k. Not perfect, but as far as AI-upscaled textures this is the best one in my opinion.

Pip-Boy 2500
Replaces the wrist-worn Pip-Boy 3000 with something more similar to the Pip-Boy 2000.

Yellow Goodbye
Tones down the excessive orange/yellow tint without removing it completely.


Content Mods
moburma80's Uncut mods
Adds back in some cut content, mostly quests.

Lonesome Road True Faction Allegiance
Changes the DLC's ending to reflect your choices instead of being based on the karma slider.

Sawyer Ultimate
PushTheWinButton's own continuation of the JSawyer mod. I don't think it deviates too much from the original's spirit, and the author has many other mods that seem to follow the same design philosophy. I've only used JSawyer Ultimate, so I can't speak to the quality of the author's other mods.


Other
Unnecessary Physics
Turn some static objects into physic objects.

There aren't many good "all-in-one" New Vegas overhauls in my opinion. So hope some of these smaller ones help.

edit: added more stuff because I can't help myself. With Bethesda/Gamebryo games I end up spending more time screwing with mods/.ini tweaks/ReShade than actually playing.

Mods I would avoid installing after playing with them is those that make the wasteland more lively.
This seems counterintuitive if you are one of those people who think New Vegas' wasteland feels very empty. But the thing is these mods make the wasteland feel way too overcrowded. Stuff like Mojave Raiders, Mojave Wildlife, The Living Desert, all sound cool in principle, but once I played with them I couldn't help but feel that every two steps of the way I was coming across another battle/NPC to trade with.

If you have to install at least one of them, I would recommend The Living Desert. It's by far the most intrusive of the three, but also the one that does something beyond "more stuff to kill", since it adds more visible consequences to certain quests. Naturally the other two mods blend in seamlessly with the vanilla game because their changes are less extensive (limited to enemy placement) and don't have as much artistic liberties as The Living Desert does, so it's really your choice.

Also worth mentioning that the "more stuff to kill" mods only really make sense in the context of playing the game without fast travel, else they don't add much to the game. And if you think the game's combat is fairly mediocre, again, no point in lengthening the game experience like that.

Waiting until I can get it for less than a dollar
