Current Events > i've finally bought New Vegas for PC so what're some cool ways to play it

(+) Yeah! (+)

i had it on 360 before and loved it

kinda tempted to just do a non-specific run through again because that was great but open to ideas

what's a melee weapons run like? energy weapons?
---

with a keyboard and mouse mostly
nah but for real shit like AP doubling as a dash + dedicated grenade buttons is something you gotta try. the dash is definitely something I used sparingly, it's like first-person mode in twin snakes.
tale of two wastelands is worth a shot if you have fallout 3 on top of nv

o you're gonna need the script extender to go along with those first two suggestions
also yukichigai unofficial patch, helps with bugs obviously. the nice thing about tale of two wastelands is that for the most part bug fixes dedicated to f3 or nv tend to still work for it.

with mods. lots and lots of mods.
---

1. Make a Nexus Mod account
2. ???
3. Profit
---

I meant in terms of playstyles or builds but sure
---

o
do a caesar run with a 1 int courier that likes big booms
---

Cowboy build with revolvers and repeaters?
---

wait better idea
1 int courier that likes big booms and shoots first and asks questions never, except under Fantastic circumstances

Project Nevada

if you do mod there's a functional limit to the number of .esp files, i think its like 140, before stuff starts to break.
---

yeah i threw a few standard mods on it and it definitely looks better

man i forgot how much i love this game!!!!

I don't think I've ever come close to reaching this cap in morrowind, oblivion, fallout 3, nv, skyrim, or fallout 4. what do you have to do to even reach that, just download as many piecemeal mods as possible?

The SomeGuy series of mods are wonderful

Particularly the Bounty mods

Project Nevada hasn't been updated in a long time, I would recommend Jsawyer ultimate edition.

yeah kind of, there are a metric ton of outfits/guns/player homes/quest mods/random other crap i cant think of to put in the game.

that's the hard cap, has to do with the hexadecimal filing system the files use. new vegas has a much lower soft cap where going above it will cause the game to fuck up textures and what not.
