Just a quick FYI for any (lazy) fans of VNV, the Wabbajack port of VNV by TDarkShadow is being pulled in 24 hours so if you care at all about that, get to installing it pronto
more modding drama?

Yeah, typical WJ bullshit. These mod lists may be fine if you get a basic foundation install of absolute must have mods, but as soon as it gets to 30+ content mods territory, it becomes an absolute clusterfuck (especially in games like Skyrim/Fallout4 where mods are still getting updated constantly). And of course it gets even worse when the end user has absolute no knowledge of any modding tools like for example xEdit. People who actually want to play heavily modded Bethesda games have to realize that they have to invest a lot of time into the game's modding tools, to fix bug and consistency errors themselves. No fully modded game is perfect, or even close to it.

can only imagine how buggy most people's games are since handling record conflicts & merging is never explained in guides

Mods eventually break your saves and kill any motivation to want to come back to the game. This is why these days whenever I'm in the mood for New Vegas I boot up the old Xbox 360. Got a few old saves on there and I can never be tempted to install mods.

VNV will not break your saves in any way and is a million times better than vanilla. Ridiculous comment.

In fact it's the opposite, vanilla is more likely to break your saves than VNV.

I've played enough Modded New Vegas over the past decade to know I'm not missing out on a lot without them. Stop being a faggot.

You clearly were doing things wrong then. Would have loved to see your mod load order just to get the full picture. :smug:

Takes like 10 seconds to determine how fucked up your mod load order was. Stop being so butthurt.

When I come back to the game after 5 year hiatus and want to play but I'm on a new computer or I've since done a PC reformat or what-have-you, it's just easier to boot up the Xbox 360 to immediately pick up a save where I left off than it is to spend the time re-modding my game back to the correct state so I can load an old save. It's more fun for me to just play the game without having to worry about it and New Vegas is a great game without mods.

You fucking losers with your mods, you think it's the only way to enjoy a game and that anyone who doesn't enjoy them equally is just butthurt because they can't "GIT GUD". You are despicable man. Praise Mods! Praise Todd! is that how it goes?

This is a place for love and understanding. Go away with your impoliteness and don't come back until you are friends with each other.

He started it.

I made an off the cuff comment about my preference not to use mods and as a result I'm engaged by several Bethesda drones lecturing me about their gay and retarded mod religion.

1) Nobody told you to stop playing on the 360 and start modding on PC instead.
2) Yosharian rightfully corrected your objectively wrong statement.
3) I don't know the last time you play FNV, but its modding scene has come a long way. Lot's of really enjoyable and immersive quest/encounter/content mods out there.

And I personally don't care on which platform you play FNV, because, unless Fallout 3 or 4, it doesn't need any modding to be enjoyable.

1) Yet you keep replying to me pretending you know more than me about mods and acting like I need to get taught by you. I never asked for your help.
2) Rightfully corrected me about what? Am I objectively wrong to play without these amazing mods?
3) There you go again shilling mods. I don't care how far mods have come I don't care, man. Fuck off.

Anyway moving on from this tool, I am currently playing an Unarmed/Explosives build on VNV and I am having an absolute blast. You get to start with a decent set of brass knuckles, and it makes such a difference to the character. Knocking fools out like there's no tomorrow.

Also the new UI thing they're using is great, you can keep track of the various survival statistics and even display your crit chance and other stuff like Karma. And karma is actually important now because stealing anything impacts it heavily so you really have to choose whether you really, really need to steal a given item.

Anyway so many little details that the modlist changes that make a nice difference.

This game is like crack to me, I keep coming back to it every year or two and it never loses its appeal somehow

Yes. I absolutely think that I do possess more knowledge than you when it comes to this topic, and he rightfully corrected you on the topic of that mods today can make your game/savegame way more stable than vanilla PC/360.

Don't forget to use ShowOff (unless you're using the BLEED mod) for weapon fatigue damage to make NPC's actually go unconscious.

Are there any actually good "New content" mods AKA Quests, locations, dungeons or anything extra you can do? The Frontier and New California were garbage to say the least.
I really wish the Fallout New Vegas modding scene was as good as Neverwinter Nights, but I guess that's what you get when your game is not niche.
