Just about to start a new game, installed a bunch of mods, mainly texture packs and bug fixes. Could do with a really nice ENB too if anyones got any suggestions Cant remember why but I never ended up playing it after I posted this. Just reinstalled it, again with a bunch of mods and played through the Goodsprings stuff at the start. Liking it so far, nice Fallout fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to reinstall windows and lost all my game installs by mistake. I'd installed so many mods on Skyrim and Fallout 4 that I really couldnt be bother doing it all again!

Fuctifano Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Just finished the story on this, it's available on PS Now. I played 4 when it came out, but allowing for graphical improvements this was much better. Only real gripe was the noted invisible walls. Oh, and the radio- I used to like Big Iron... I tried 3 as well but it seemed to have much more of the fannying about in the dark in a building with two dozen identical rooms that I didn't like about 4. As usual with Bethesda game I became an almost unkillable god towards the end but couldn't really be arsed tweaking the difficulty. Going to read this thread back now and see what I've missed on my first playthrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The start is more boring than the other gsmes because you don't start in a vault. It gets so much better after the first couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Am I the only one who didn't like Vegas? I've started it twice and got bored almost straight away. I enjoyed - and completed - three and four, but have never managed to persevere with NV. Don't know why, exactly. (Currently back in Skyrim, level fifteen so the games warming up nicely before the grinding of gold for property and such starts...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent god know who many hours on 3 and 4 and had no problem getting into either pretty much straight away - same with Skyrim actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 The writing in NV is far, far better than 3, 4 or Skyrim which makes it much easier to persevere with the gameplay flaws that are inherent in any Bethesda game. 4’s definitely the most enjoyable to play but more as a survival shooter than as a Fallout game.

And thats what Ive heard from lots of people (ie a couple of posters on here). It really doesnt seem that way early in the game though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crroma Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 New Vegas is the better game but with a far less exciting premise. 3 nailed it with you starting in the vault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend committing to the point you reach the main actors in the game which are the controlling factions of the Mojave desert. I agree the start is shite - I didn't really play new Vegas for a good year after I bought it because the start of the game was empty and unengaging and I didn't go back to it. I was glad when I finally did, it's really good. The DLC are superb as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah pretty much this. The start is a bad introduction to a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crroma Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Yeah and its noteworthy because they really nailed the start of fallout 4, although I'm only 3 hours in so can't comment past that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 New Vegas' storyline is the best. It felt connected to how you play the game compared to 4s "I'm desperate to find my son!!! But I'll go do three million side quests firsts" way of doing. Can't stop playing NV until you meet the Legion and Mr House, IMO. If you're still not enjoying it by then, then fair dues.

Fuctifano Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 My least favourite bits of NV were exploring the vaults while on quests, especially that one with all the fucking plants. Not difficult enemies but ticked every box in my fannying about in endless almost identical rooms, think that quest took me about an hour and a half as I did 't have enough repair skill to fix the lift and I had to wait til I'd rescued the ghoul woman for her to do it. Maybe I have in game claustrophobia and enjoyed the wandering about outside more. Re: the ending(s), I know the game is 8 years old but I'll be nice and put it in spoilers Spoiler I went with the NCR (was originally going to go myself but bottled it, if I play through it again I'll do that) as they seemed the lesser of the 3 evils. Must admit when I was met by the general at the end they were going to shoot me again and the game would come full circle. Other than completionism or just actively being a bad b*****d I can't see how you'd go with the Legion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Absolutely murking Cesar and his goons with a fat man was one of my most ever satisfying moments playing video games. Killed pretty much everyone bar the Brotherhood who were hard as fucking nails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I think I went myself, tbh. Spoiler Although you regret it straight after killing Mr House, as you get some message or thing you can read that tells you he was humanities great hope in the Wasteland. The ends mental with everyone trying to kill you and each other. Fucking loved that game. Theres a quarry full of Deathclaws somewhere as well, I stumbled into it fairly early on with no real idea what they were. Shot at the one I could see, only for it to turn at me and another couple to walk around a corner. Genuine fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I enjoyed how the map had clear areas that you could and couldn’t go to. You had to level up substantially before taking on the quarry whereas I managed to wander through the Glowing Sea at level 20. The fact that all the DLCs are tied to the main game and each other is another thing I really enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
