Now for Fo1 theres a mod fallout 1.5 resurrection and for fo2 there was a mod thats like a sequel thats set near nevada. Also for fallout new vegas theres a really well made dlc like mod called autumn leaves, it has its own guns, music, ending slides.

@@theburningone354 deathclaws In New Vegas were dangerous , or any fallout game in general , in fo4 everything is so easy to kill even with using mods that makes the game significantly harder
I boight mine in 7th grade for 20€ as well, not in 2012 though, but it too was my first fallout and it was an awsome game which i played through multible times and always a different ending
I just started playing new Vegas last week since I seen it on game pass. My first fall out game I ever played and I have fallout 4 on the shelf. Holy crap I'm in love
The intro to NV is leagues above so others. The cinematic is thematically on point, it gets you into the plot, you do some quick character design, then you're given a mostly optional tutorial. I love the other games, but NV just does some things so well there isn't a comparison
Absolutely. It just gives you an absolutely open world, almost right of the bat. I also kinda like fallout 3's approach, and how it kinda leads you to springvale.
Yeah I always just did the bottle practice and said fuck this I got better things to do (end tutorial) best tutorial in a game is one that allows you to end it if the game conveys how to play enough already it lets the player decide instead of rail roading you in a story from beginning to end like Failout 4 did lol
@@robertsmalls2293 I think the engine is okay as it allows for moddability. It's jank as fuck at times, but a dev who actually gives a shit could probably fix it. As far as giving it to Obsidian, Josh Sawyer (the man behind New Vegas) no longer works for them. Perhaps instead it should be given to Josh Sawyer, who can do all the writing, and then he can have whichever company he sees fit (probably Obsidian, let's face it) do the coding and asset development.
One of the best improvements in Fallout: New Vegas was the personal companion quests unlocked after key events. It's great how the final slides show the couriers effect on their lives and having a definite ending allows for this. Having specific events that are linked with companion quests as opposed to them liking you picking locks or hacking terminals in fallout 4 is a much better system overall.
Yeah for real the Arcade Ganon Side Quest for the Enclave Remnants was badass and actually had a palpable impact on the ending of your game which side character quests you did they come and assist you on the dam AND you get the BEST power armor in the game from it : ) New Vegas was a beast of a game. I jussssssst discovered the Death Claw Promontory and nearly shit my pants the otherday. That is just something Fallout 4, 3 never could do right was unmarked map activities to do or discover
Problem with Fallout New Vegas is that it was undercooked. I mean, there was so many things cut, so many bugs that weren't ironed out, and so much potential missed. It's a god damn amazing game, but it would have been so much more if they had 3-4~ years instead of 18~ months. What would happen if it did get the 85 metacritic score and didn't have to lay people off destroying the Obsidian most know? Fallout New Vegas was the best damn rpg I've played, but its blueprint shows so much more potential that was untapped due to time constraints
@Little Oggie yeah obsidian wanted alot more time with it I'm pretty sure they said if it was up to them the game wouldn't have dropped on current gen consoles at the time. Bethesda wouldn't wait that long it would have came out around the same time as fallout 4 so it would of never happend due to Bethesda
@Little Oggie Also let's be real the Black Isle and Obsidian guys don't seem to be that great with money. Obsidian had a crowdfunded game sell millions of copies and still had to crowdfund the sequel There's also a reason the Fallout IP was up for grabs lol
@@youngmarcelo7350 To be fair Bethesda did give them a working game engine with a ton of assets already made, AND Obsidian had all the brainstorming/writing work done for the planned sequel to Fallout 2, so a lot of the grunt work was already done when they started
2 and NV are a tie for best Fallout to me. New Vegas has a great atmosphere but the amount of cool shit you can do in Fallout 2 is amazing. Hard to believe it was made in 98.
Play OWBs and have your heart removed. You’ll be immune to poison so you can just laugh at cazadores while you beat them to death with your bare hands.
I may have said it before but I’ll say it again. A new twist on The Enclave could open up so many new stories and themes of loyalty and how far people will go for what they believe. You may agree but I would love to see what you think.
I want a game where you start off as an enclave soldier on a mission into the wastes when something goes terribly wrong and you get trapped there. Have a system like Star Wars: KOTOR where you can do pure good, pure evil, pure neutral, light evil, or dark good.
I remember when I first played this game. I tried Fallout 3 but I couldn’t leave the vault because the game hates quad core computers. So I got New Vegas and played though it. I loved it. I got Fallout 3 for the Xbox and loved that. Then I bought Fallout 4. Less said about that the better. New Vegas got me into Fallout.
Aleksanteri Nikula I did learn that years later and downloaded a config from nexus. However, after I got the 360 version and beat it, I learned of TTW.
Saddest part about Fallout 4 was that it could've been a significantly better game if they didn't go for the absurd idea of having a voiced protagonist in an RPG. Obvious roleplaying issues aside, that resulted in the stripped down dialog tree, which resulted in a lack of any real choice or consequence. If they didn't go for that, not only would the game be significantly better, it would've also been cheaper and easier to develop. Don't get me wrong, that's not the only issue it has (a settlement needing my help and being marked on my map pops to mind), but I feel like that single decision is responsible for like 80% of the game's suckage.
Supposedly, they cut out a lot of Legion content. It would have showed more of the daily life in the Legion. It would have showed the pragmatism of the Legion. They aren't just a bunch of slaves. While they are not "free" they are safe, fed and cared for. It begs the question, what is better for survival in the wastes?
nooooo legion is a bunch of evil slavers and fascists..... ncr are the good guys and i always ally with the brotherhood of steel because i love them in fallout 3
@@sussurus The lesson in New Vegas is that neither of the two post apocalyptic super-power are good guys , and that neither of them care about what the people living in the Mojave think
Channalism I don’t think I would say Bethesda doesn’t care about the IP, I mean it’s a huge source of their money as their multiple of their triple A titles and a half of the reason they have a fan base for games (elder scrolls), it’s just that they don’t put the thought interplay and Black Isle did into the game, even fucking obsidian who yes had the fallout 3 skeleton and experience on fallout but only 18 god damn months to make something literally better than Bethesda’s creation. They don’t know what made fallout fallout, they don’t have the same perspective as the original creators, and what the idea surrounding the games were. I think people trash on Bethesda too much in the aspect that their games are shit because they get too much attention for being good, I just don’t think they’re good fallout games, but good games in their own respect.
there's also the little detail that most of the main quests, the sidequests connected to the main quest, DLC's, and all of the follower quests are based in the idea of "letting go". This is really hammered in during Dead Money, but all of the previously mentioned ones still hold true.

@@eli8444 And even then, who's to say Big MT can't just teleport the Courier into the Mothership? Do that, side with Mr. House, and.... Well, you've had the best, now try the rest. Spacer's Choice!
Honestly Dead Money wasn't my favorite dlc when I played it for the first time, I think it's mainly due to how the dlc is more centered around the characters than the combat, but like many other here I recently did another run of New Vegas and thoroughly enjoyed Dead Money because it boasts deep characters whose goals are beyond what lies on the surface, leaving the player to discover the truth of the Sierra Madre.
I played Dead Money through to the end once. I've played a lot more runs through New Vegas, but I have never, and will never, play that DLC again. Not because I disliked it. In fact, it's my favorite DLC, out of ALL DLC ever made. I almost like it more than I like the rest of New Vegas. I wont play it again, because I feel like it would cheapen the experience. Maybe I'm looking at it through rose-tinted glasses, but the storyline legitimately made me feel like it was something special. If I go back there, it'll probably feel like going back to the mall you used to hang out at all the time when you were young, but now you go there and the stores are different or gone, there's fewer people, the building is run down, and everything feels smaller somehow. You know? I want to remember it how I remembered it, not how it actually may be.
There’s so many ways to go about literally everything and I love that. The main example I love is how Caesar reacts to you. You can follow Mr House’s orders, let Benny escape the tops, and talk to caesar. But if you kill Benny in the tops, and kill mr house, he praises you. Everything is so well crafted, it’s beautiful.
You know what just crossed my mind because of this video? The Courier's companions also have access to the Lucky 38... would have been great plot twist if some of them ended working against you because of faction allegiance =D
I recently got a new PC and got fallout new vegas and started a new charachter on it with mods and it's a really great game and one of my favorite ones ever. It's also amazing that even when obsidian released the outer worlds, this game is still alive. Keep up the cool videos, Mantis.

New Vegas is a classic, but I hate how it tells you about the legion and ncr in the pre rolls. Like I would love you walk into Nippon with no knowledge and see the legion walk down the steps. The same with most of the dlcs, it's just that the game tends to tell instead of showing
I agree completley they made the Legion the clear 'bad guys' right away would have been much better if they left things a bit more open. apparently there was alot more depth intended for the Legion but wasn't included due to time. Would love to see a more faithful adaptation using fallout 4 engine
@@Snuckster2 fallout 4 engine isn't different than NV/3's engine. Legion isn't evil, Its the balance. Not good nor evil. They keep the balance in the wasteland. NCR is corrupted and you see it several times in the game. Their troopers have zero moral, loyalty and faith in what they're fighting for. What makes NCR is the Rangers and Caravan Companies. You cannot see a degenerate, corrupted legion warrior.

New vegas was my first fallout game. I only recently picked it up for pc (after owning the ps3 version) but its crazy how it help shape my love for rpgs in general
Just re-installed Fallout 4 to give it a second chance, second run but eventually, I ended up downloading bunch of mods to stabilize the game. And I realized, I'm playing MO2, not Fallout 4.
the problem that *I* find with RPG games in general nowadays, is marketing. when marketing a RPG, these developers should really be sure to not to show the face of the main character as it sets the "look" of the main character. for example, Skyrim trailers showed a blonde Nord with iron armour as the Dragonborne. this creates problems as now (*for people who follow canonical lore*) the lore now identifies the Dragonborne as that, a blonde Nord with iron armour. it would be way more appealing if the character shown in a RPG trailer was wearing something to cover their face, or mask themselves, or just not show them, I think this would add a more lore-friendly aspect to the game, and now the main character is whatever you want them to be.
Honestly the power armor that the Brotherhood of Steel wears seems like the perfect solution for trailers. It creates a metroid effect where, like Samus, the person on the suit could be either sex.
Eh, everyone understands that whoever's on the cover is just there to act as a proxy. It's never, "official". ...at least everyone *should* understand that. It ain't complicated. Besides, there's a limit on how ambiguous you can make someone look. There's no way you can design someone that simultaneously looks like a male Argonian and a female Bosmer.
My arrangement is 5. Fallout 4 (it's a good game, but not really a good fallout) 4. Fallout 1 3. Fallout 3 (yeah I think it's better than 1, bite me) 2. Fallout 2 (early game slog stops it from being tied with NV for me) 1. New vegas
I started my Fallout adventure from FO1, which I got from my dad for Christmas in 1998. I didn't like it at first, having played fantasy RPGs like Might & Magic 7, Fallout looked weird, combat felt so slow. Then I gave it a second chance, after finishing M&M7, and immediately got lost in the world. A year passed, I got Fallout 2. And despite having started my Fallout adventure from FO1, FO2 is the game which I find playing and replaying constantly since. The best part in all this is that my dad didn't even like video games, he just picked it up because it had "RPG" on the cover and stood out to him. Never thanked him properly for this gift...
The tutorial with sunny smiles may be skippable, but I always help clear out the geckos. Not because of the extra ammo, rep, or exp, but to make sure cheyenne stays alive.
@@maxwaring2000 same man I started my first save in like 2 years yesterday and I'm loving it. I saw that they're are modders trying to recreate fnv in fallout 4 engine looks really cool but sadly doesnt look like it'll be done anytime soon.
I like these retrospectives, good on you Mr. Mantis. Edit: one note I grew up playing on a 360 and later a ps3 for games like fo 3 and new Vegas so it’s kinda jarring seeing the mods cause it’s not a graphical upgrade but a kinda retexture the best example is victor, looks nice but still it’s weird cause it’s not as I remember. The still shots of the strip entrance were good but the far away shot of the strip felt weird, comouter house Benny and ghost looked good and yesman was okay and on the strip looked fine. Marcus gets a pass
Just got my copy of Fallout New Vages today doing my first hardcore run awesome you made a video for new Vagas same time appreciate the love and energy
The only thing I dislike about The New Vegas intro is that they tell you about the first battle of Hoover dam. You should’ve learned about that at Boulder City, and then see the legion at Nipton, which would’ve surprised you.
Great Video! Btw. I don't know if you've noticed but some of your modded textures aren't working properly (Road textures for example). If it's not intentionell and you installed a texture pack for those textures than try installing archiveinvalidation. Mod Organizer 2 has it in the profile settings (other mod managers might have that option too) otherwise Nexus should have a guide or something similar available ;)
Of all the Fallout's, New Vegas is always the one I find myself coming back to partly because it was my introduction and because of everything you said. Just sad it's so damn hard to get it to run without it crashing or freezing every 10 minutes. (seriously I'd love some tips. I tired of having to sign out of my computer every time I play)
Well, for one, set task manager to always be on top and you won't have to sign out when it crashes. Then look up a mod guide. I think Viva New Vegas is quite recently updated, and it'll show you what you need to have installed to stabilize the game. The things you have to have installed seem to change every year, so that's the best way to go about it....unless you actually understand the engine and can fix it yourself.
It's my favorite Fallout. Funny that ten years ago, almost nobody agreed with me that it was the best. It wasn't enough a Bethesda game for the new fans, and neither oldschool enough for the old ones. By the way, this is my ranking: 1) NV 2) Fo2 3) Fo1 4) Fo3 Never played Tatics long enough and I dislike the others.
I hate when they end I feel you on why you like it but I always thought it would have been better to see new Vegas with all your choices coming into play.
The mod community for this game is insane. There’s proabably a good 2000 hours worth of fully voiced, polished, and lore friendly mods for this game. Pretty sure there’s still new ones being made constantly too.
megamike15 probably the biggest/best mod for FNV started as a F3 mod and wasn’t finished until last year. It is literally a brand new (Bethesda/Obsidian) lore-friendly fallout game for free.
I completely agree with you Mantis, and am leaving this comment because you requested one :) Out of all the "newer" Fallouts, this is the one I enjoyed the most... heck, I even almost got stuck in it like with Fo and Fo2(the most for me, as it was my first introduction as well) and wanted to come back for more and more. This one had the most "soul" out of all of them... the ending contributed a lot. p.s. Long live the Khans TKs Ixian I will be back.... I always do ;)
you could have mentioned about Victor that if you get close to death near goodsprings he sometimes comes to save you. happened to me while i was stuck in some rocks near the yangtze memorial and the big radscorpion started attacking me and victor just strolled about and helped me
He came to help me with some geckos. I think it happens when you get into trouble after leaving Good Springs without doing the tutorial, but I'm not 100% certain.
Yeah, I've had Victor come to my aid a couple of times. I've also found myself on the wrong end of his grenade launcher when helping the powder gangers take over Goodsprings. Once you make it to Novac, he won't be around Goodsprings any more.
Fallout 3: "You must venture out and find your father" Fallout 4: "You must venture out and find your child" Fallout 5: "You must venture out and find your mother" Fallout 6: "You must venture out and find your lover"
You mention at 12:57 that the end of the game is truly the end. If you watch TriangleCity, you'd know that there was a TON of post-endgame content that was cut. You were supposed to be able to keep playing after the battle of Hoover Dam.
New Vegas introduced me to Blue Moon, that alone has me grateful. Actually "understanding" what all the hype was about came when I saw the skill checks and faction loyalty.
Theoretical Easter Egg I saw in the game, the inkblot tests from Doc Mitchell are actually representations of ingame locations; Hoover Dam, Helios One and The Lucky 38. Strange what you forget after being shot in the bead.
For as long as I have played New Vegas, I feel so dumb for not realizing it was Ron Pearlman doing the narration. I was just too focused on what he was reading and that he has such a damn good voice.
Discovered your channel a few days ago and have been watching a lot of your past vids. I agree with all your points on this series especially about New Vegas. It saddens me that two games proceeding it still cannot improve upon it. 4's story is a joke, and the amount of fetch quests and radiant quests is staggering. Let's not even mention the freedom of choice is basically gone. Then we have 76, and man oh man the controversy. Please Bethesda, if you make 5, please get your head out of your ass. You have the ability.
One of the things I like is the customization of how you get to the strip. You can take the normal route going through nipton, you can fight a deathclaw through Primm Pass, you can sneak north of goodsprings, or go through Scorpion Gulch and fight through scorpions to get out around Novac and Poseidon Energy.
I am proud to say I own a copy of the New Vegas Collectors Edition signed by the NV Team at Obsidian. It is still one of my most prized possessions in my collection, it was indeed another fine addition to my collection. I love New Vegas for all of the reasons I love Fallout 3 for and more. Certainly they aren’t perfect games, but they are still great games.
Unfitting title.. should've just called it "I narrate everything that happened in FONV". Felt like I was watching a game review without a actual scoring.
I still remember getting this game right around launch for next to nothing off of eBay. I couldn't believe how much better it was compared to 3, which was my intro to the series.
my only problem with New Vegas is that the game was rushed and it isn't really that good on newer OS's and has crashing issues oh yeah, they also don't have Viva Las Vegas on the radio
I'm playing New Vegas right now on Windows 10 and it I haven't encountered any problems I didn't on earlier versions of Windows. It certainly crashes from time to time, but I'm not sure how much of that is due to the 200+ mods I'm using.
They absolutely nailed the side companion side quests in New Vegas and I really liked how they could effect the last battle at the Hoover damn. If you did things right you could get both the BoS and Enclave remnants to support you. Only regret was not being able to finish the Raul companion quest since he was my favorite companion. There was a bug in the 360 version that caused Loyal, an essential Boomer NPC, to walk out of Nellis AFB and clips into a mountain making him totally unreachable after you completed Volare!
Half of this video is just literally the intro with no commentary. The other half is just summarizing the main quest. If you're looking for a video essay or any insightful thoughts on the game, keep browsing.
what makes te courier more interesting than the other main characters in the series because the courier character is the personification of the mundane work turned into a badass work by just adding up post-nuclear, apocalypse, and etc. beside the work, like a plumber but in lovecraftian theme world type of concept The courier character gets to be more fleshed out with the lonesome road dlc, how important and influential the character despite being a middle man/delivery guy only
@digifalc0087 fallout 76 is really bad and shouldn't be fixed it's a waste of time, I'm not gonna play a game where I have to role play my glitches out of existence, when I already have to role play as it is, no offense but the game doesn't even let me kill you on the spot I have to ask an akward permission to kill you so yea I want a real game to have what it deserves, if it's so OP than why not give it justice, I've played fallout 76 and only lasted a day with interest on it the cosmetic store doesn't even sell the clothing with anything unique in it, so I get a ranger armor that's not from California but it doesn't have +1 perception and 5 to guns on the mask and the suits charisma isn't there like is that even worth fighting the glitches why have a battle royal when the game itself can have that and keep the game going as it is, that makes it worth sneaking and going to an area, it's not worth playing recently other UA-camrs have played what?

It's great how the final slides show the couriers effect on their lives and having a definite ending allows for this. Having specific events that are linked with companion quests as opposed to them liking you picking locks or hacking terminals in fallout 4 is a much better system overall.
Yeah for real the Arcade Ganon Side Quest for the Enclave Remnants was badass and actually had a palpable impact on the ending of your game which side character quests you did they come and assist you on the dam AND you get the BEST power armor in the game from it : ) New Vegas was a beast of a game. I jussssssst discovered the Death Claw Promontory and nearly shit my pants the otherday. That is just something Fallout 4, 3 never could do right was unmarked map activities to do or discover
Problem with Fallout New Vegas is that it was undercooked. I mean, there was so many things cut, so many bugs that weren't ironed out, and so much potential missed. It's a god damn amazing game, but it would have been so much more if they had 3-4~ years instead of 18~ months. What would happen if it did get the 85 metacritic score and didn't have to lay people off destroying the Obsidian most know?
Fallout New Vegas was the best damn rpg I've played, but its blueprint shows so much more potential that was untapped due to time constraints
Yeah. They planned on making the Legion more morally grey instead of just plain evil, but time constraints man
@Little Oggie yeah obsidian wanted alot more time with it I'm pretty sure they said if it was up to them the game wouldn't have dropped on current gen consoles at the time. Bethesda wouldn't wait that long it would have came out around the same time as fallout 4 so it would of never happend due to Bethesda
Too much explanation though.
@Little Oggie Also let's be real the Black Isle and Obsidian guys don't seem to be that great with money.
Obsidian had a crowdfunded game sell millions of copies and still had to crowdfund the sequel
There's also a reason the Fallout IP was up for grabs lol
@@youngmarcelo7350 To be fair Bethesda did give them a working game engine with a ton of assets already made, AND Obsidian had all the brainstorming/writing work done for the planned sequel to Fallout 2, so a lot of the grunt work was already done when they started

I may have said it before but I’ll say it again. A new twist on The Enclave could open up so many new stories and themes of loyalty and how far people will go for what they believe. You may agree but I would love to see what you think.
Agreed. Would be great.
I would love to actually be able to side with the Enclave for once.
I want a game where you start off as an enclave soldier on a mission into the wastes when something goes terribly wrong and you get trapped there. Have a system like Star Wars: KOTOR where you can do pure good, pure evil, pure neutral, light evil, or dark good.
I'd rather side with the enclave than have the brotherhood be in another fallout game. I hate the brotherhood of steel
I remember when I first played this game. I tried Fallout 3 but I couldn’t leave the vault because the game hates quad core computers. So I got New Vegas and played though it. I loved it. I got Fallout 3 for the Xbox and loved that. Then I bought Fallout 4. Less said about that the better. New Vegas got me into Fallout.
Nice. My all-time favorite series.
Aleksanteri Nikula I did learn that years later and downloaded a config from nexus. However, after I got the 360 version and beat it, I learned of TTW.
Saddest part about Fallout 4 was that it could've been a significantly better game if they didn't go for the absurd idea of having a voiced protagonist in an RPG. Obvious roleplaying issues aside, that resulted in the stripped down dialog tree, which resulted in a lack of any real choice or consequence. If they didn't go for that, not only would the game be significantly better, it would've also been cheaper and easier to develop.
Don't get me wrong, that's not the only issue it has (a settlement needing my help and being marked on my map pops to mind), but I feel like that single decision is responsible for like 80% of the game's suckage.
Supposedly, they cut out a lot of Legion content. It would have showed more of the daily life in the Legion. It would have showed the pragmatism of the Legion. They aren't just a bunch of slaves. While they are not "free" they are safe, fed and cared for. It begs the question, what is better for survival in the wastes?
Yeah there is a ton that is cut for the legion.
nooooo legion is a bunch of evil slavers and fascists..... ncr are the good guys

🍔
I wish to see the day Bethesda falls apart and Tim Cain gets his IP back.
Channalism I don’t think I would say Bethesda doesn’t care about the IP, I mean it’s a huge source of their money as their multiple of their triple A titles and a half of the reason they have a fan base for games (elder scrolls), it’s just that they don’t put the thought interplay and Black Isle did into the game, even fucking obsidian who yes had the fallout 3 skeleton and experience on fallout but only 18 god damn months to make something literally better than Bethesda’s creation. They don’t know what made fallout fallout, they don’t have the same perspective as the original creators, and what the idea surrounding the games were. I think people trash on Bethesda too much in the aspect that their games are shit because they get too much attention for being good, I just don’t think they’re good fallout games, but good games in their own respect.
Shamus Young, bomberguy and indigo gaming make great videos on why this is accurate
Imagine CD project red, but it be way better with Obsidian since they know the lore.
If there was one thing I could change about the Ojo Bueno mod, it would be Victor. You just can't change perfection.
AGREED!
Ojo Bueno is an awesome mod but you can never change the beauty of ol' Vic.
there's also the little detail that most of the main quests, the sidequests connected to the main quest, DLC's, and all of the follower quests are based in the idea of "letting go". This is really hammered in during Dead Money, but all of the previously mentioned ones still hold true.
And that's why the NCR narratively is the wrong choice. They won't let go of the old Republic.

Dead Money? No Thanks. Old World Blues is by far my favorite DLC.
@@Tripp426 Saturnite fist 😏
Honestly Dead Money wasn't my favorite dlc when I played it for the first time, I think it's mainly due to how the dlc is more centered around the characters than the combat, but like many other here I recently did another run of New Vegas and thoroughly enjoyed Dead Money because it boasts deep characters whose goals are beyond what lies on the surface, leaving the player to discover the truth of the Sierra Madre.
I played Dead Money through to the end once. I've played a lot more runs through New Vegas, but I have never, and will never, play that DLC again.
Not because I disliked it. In fact, it's my favorite DLC, out of ALL DLC ever made. I almost like it more than I like the rest of New Vegas. I wont play it again, because I feel like it would cheapen the experience. Maybe I'm looking at it through rose-tinted glasses, but the storyline legitimately made me feel like it was something special. If I go back there, it'll probably feel like going back to the mall you used to hang out at all the time when you were young, but now you go there and the stores are different or gone, there's fewer people, the building is run down, and everything feels smaller somehow. You know? I want to remember it how I remembered it, not how it actually may be.
There’s so many ways to go about literally everything and I love that. The main example I love is how Caesar reacts to you. You can follow Mr House’s orders, let Benny escape the tops, and talk to caesar. But if you kill Benny in the tops, and kill mr house, he praises you. Everything is so well crafted, it’s beautiful.

Legion isn't evil, Its the balance. Not good nor evil. They keep the balance in the wasteland. NCR is corrupted and you see it several times in the game. Their troopers have zero moral, loyalty and faith in what they're fighting for. What makes NCR is the Rangers and Caravan Companies.

Man I loved fallout 4 everyone shits on it.
the problem that *I* find with RPG games in general nowadays, is marketing.
when marketing a RPG, these developers should really be sure to not to show the face of the main character as it sets the "look" of the main character.
for example, Skyrim trailers showed a blonde Nord with iron armour as the Dragonborne. this creates problems as now (*for people who follow canonical lore*) the lore now identifies the Dragonborne as that, a blonde Nord with iron armour.
it would be way more appealing if the character shown in a RPG trailer was wearing something to cover their face, or mask themselves, or just not show them, I think this would add a more lore-friendly aspect to the game, and now the main character is whatever you want them to be.
Honestly the power armor that the Brotherhood of Steel wears seems like the perfect solution for trailers. It creates a metroid effect where, like Samus, the person on the suit could be either sex.
@@InvaderGIR98 ^this
Eh, everyone understands that whoever's on the cover is just there to act as a proxy. It's never, "official".
...at least everyone *should* understand that. It ain't complicated. Besides, there's a limit on how ambiguous you can make someone look. There's no way you can design someone that simultaneously looks like a male Argonian and a female Bosmer.

And despite having started my Fallout adventure from FO1, FO2 is the game which I find playing and replaying constantly since.

(seriously I'd love some tips. I tired of having to sign out of my computer every time I play)
Well, for one, set task manager to always be on top and you won't have to sign out when it crashes.
Then look up a mod guide. I think Viva New Vegas is quite recently updated, and it'll show you what you need to have installed to stabilize the game.
The things you have to have installed seem to change every year, so that's the best way to go about it....unless you actually understand the engine and can fix it yourself.
Get an Xbox One. It won't crash.
New Vegas Anti Crash always made it more stable for me. Don't forget NVSE. Also recommend 4gb patch and CASM.
Thank you to everyone who gave sugestions it's working great now!
Download 4GB Patch, New Vegas Anti-Crash, YUP, Unofficial Patch +, and a few others, and New Vegas will never crash again.
It's my favorite Fallout. Funny that ten years ago, almost nobody agreed with me that it was the best. It wasn't enough a Bethesda game for the new fans, and neither oldschool enough for the old ones.
By the way, this is my ranking:
1) NV
2) Fo2
3) Fo1
4) Fo3
Never played Tatics long enough and I dislike the others.
You forgot to mention how difficult it is to go through Nipton and not kill Vulpes Inculta for his hat. It's a really nice hat.
I hate when they end I feel you on why you like it but I always thought it would have been better to see new Vegas with all your choices coming into play.
The mod community for this game is insane. There’s proabably a good 2000 hours worth of fully voiced, polished, and lore friendly mods for this game. Pretty sure there’s still new ones being made constantly too.
i noticed there are way more quest mods for nv then for 3.
megamike15 probably the biggest/best mod for FNV started as a F3 mod and wasn’t finished until last year. It is literally a brand new (Bethesda/Obsidian) lore-friendly fallout game for free.

That's awesome. I haven't had that happen.
He came to help me with some geckos. I think it happens when you get into trouble after leaving Good Springs without doing the tutorial, but I'm not 100% certain.
Yeah, I've had Victor come to my aid a couple of times. I've also found myself on the wrong end of his grenade launcher when helping the powder gangers take over Goodsprings. Once you make it to Novac, he won't be around Goodsprings any more.

Can also sneak and take the monorail from camp McCarran to get into the strip without having to get a New Vegas pass port or 2000 cap balance

oh yeah, they also don't have Viva Las Vegas on the radio
I'm playing New Vegas right now on Windows 10 and it I haven't encountered any problems I didn't on earlier versions of Windows. It certainly crashes from time to time, but I'm not sure how much of that is due to the 200+ mods I'm using.
Not sure about pc but I play it on the Xbox one and get crashes maybe once every 20 hours of gameplay. So very rare.
Fix your computer, I just beat it, 35 hours and no crashes.

After falling in love with the fallout four, I’m happy that I fully played this game afterwards
They absolutely nailed the side companion side quests in New Vegas and I really liked how they could effect the last battle at the Hoover damn. If you did things right you could get both the BoS and Enclave remnants to support you. Only regret was not being able to finish the Raul companion quest since he was my favorite companion. There was a bug in the 360 version that caused Loyal, an essential Boomer NPC, to walk out of Nellis AFB and clips into a mountain making him totally unreachable after you completed Volare!

The closed captions ‘you are a Korean hired by the Mojave express’
Bethesda should add console mods
Uh they have?
To New Vegas
Ruby Gaming dummy lol
@digifalc0087 wow I never knew that, do you think it would be worth making the game again to add mods ?
@digifalc0087 fallout 76 is really bad and shouldn't be fixed it's a waste of time, I'm not gonna play a game where I have to role play my glitches out of existence, when I already have to role play as it is, no offense but the game doesn't even let me kill you on the spot I have to ask an akward permission to kill you so yea I want a real game to have what it deserves, if it's so OP than why not give it justice, I've played fallout 76 and only lasted a day with interest on it the cosmetic store doesn't even sell the clothing with anything unique in it, so I get a ranger armor that's not from California but it doesn't have +1 perception and 5 to guns on the mask and the suits charisma isn't there like is that even worth fighting the glitches why have a battle royal when the game itself can have that and keep the game going as it is, that makes it worth sneaking and going to an area, it's not worth playing recently other UA-camrs have played what? Oh yeah Fallout New Vegas and what video is this a fallout New Vegas video, you wanna fix a franchise than start where it was unique.
