Five Essential PC Mods For Fallout: New Vegas

RipTen: Even though it’s been less than a week since the release of Fallout: New Vegas, the PC modding community is already hard at work making the game better. Being an experienced G.E.C.K user and Fallout/Oblivion modder myself, I decided to head over to the New Vegas Nexus and bring to you five mods that I feel are essential to improving your enjoyment of Fallout: New Vegas.

WOW. It's amazing what a few small modifications can do for the overall experience!! PC gaming FTW.

Mista T5083d ago

Hideo_Kojima5083d ago

why didnt the devs do this ?

Corepred45082d ago

Wow, mods on pc games are crazy. I would love to try pc gaming out but i don't feel like replacing my laptop, that and the deusche bags on there put me off.

Kreyg5083d ago

Nice. I needed that first mod. I was getting crappy framerates and poor performance. I didn't think I should either. I was running it on high with no AA and AF @ 8x. Was running on a Core i7 920 clocked @ 3.2 ghz, GTX 295, and 6gb of ram.

Once I installed it though, it worked like a charm.

Mista T5083d ago (Edited 5083d ago )

AMAZING, I tested it out and went to the true fps droppers in this game, the vicky and vance casino, the first section in the vegas strip. And entering and seeing the main lobby on casino floors, all fixed because of the first mod! PC gaming ftw! can't wait to see what the community churns out next!

I was in the same boat as you, I have cpu clocked at 3.4ghz, ati 5870, and 4gb of ram. I was confused cause I can put crysis warhead at max settings, and here I am with the fallout engine getting fps drops. but it got fixed :)

multipayer5083d ago

I wouldn't call that a mod, we are only using it because the game needs official bug fixes... Infact all these are lame compared to what Fallout 3 community currently has.

ZFGokuSSJ15083d ago

Love when people do essential mod compilations for me!

jaredhart5083d ago

Pretty sweet. Wish they had something like this for the console versions.

wakash5083d ago

Yea, it would be dope if we could easily modify our consoles without breaking our warranties smh haha

multipayer5083d ago

Like plugging a usb in the front? Unheard of.

Sigmarue5083d ago

Makes me wish I had this on PC instead. The improved lighting looks so much better. Makes it less... Dirty. I like a sunny wasteland.

soundslike5083d ago

I found a quick and dirty way on consoles to make things less...dirty. Just turn up the saturation/color setting on your TV about 20-25 percent. The colors were desaturated in Fallout, now you are essentially bringing it back to normal. Its not perfect, but I think it looks A LOT better.

Fallout: New Vegas Director Happy To Make Another Fallout Game, But There's A Catch

Josh Sawyer, a Fallout series veteran, has certain conditions to be fulfilled before he could potentially start making another Fallout.

RaidenBlack41d ago

Microsoft ... just do one thing right?
You got Obsidian. You got Bethesda. Just make it happen!
Give free reign to Obsidian with higher budget and no restrictions (i.e deadline, metacritic score or wokeness)

just_looken41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

This would be nice but they are trying to pass Avowed as a next gen rpg while at the last minute doing a gut job and a large delay
https://www.ign.com/article...

https://www.ign.com/article...

Then on the back burner they still got outer worlds 2 3 yr old trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

avrowed from 4 years ago
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

they said there working on both games years ago 0 have come out which is not good.

I would love it too we got the las vegas team on the fallout ip again but right now it seems there is something bad going on over there.

Now larien studios right now was kicked out of hasbro the whole wizard coast situation so give that team the fallout ip.

Sciurus_vulgaris41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

@just_looken

You are trying to trash Obsidian, yet want the studio to work on New Vegas 2 ?

just_looken41d ago

@Sciurus_vulgaris

I know it hard for n4g users but read my links they themselves based on feedback delayed the game for a whole combat over hall

They even said after 4 years the graphics we saw are not finial they are "alpha stage"
https://x.com/klobrille/sta...

So i did not trash them i stated a fact this team has 2 games in the works one that is hidden and the other is currently getting a new combat system and graphics overhaul like halo got after that game play reveal.

Go ahead and say its a good thing after 4 years to redo the graphics/combat on a AAA game with M$ backing because to me that is showing there is something bad going on behind the scenes.

That being sad yeah i would love to have the fallout nv crew make another fallout game because outer worlds one was short but still a solid fun title.

DodoDojo40d ago

Won't happen, it makes too much sense.

Obscure_Observer40d ago

@RaidenBlack

"Give free reign to Obsidian with higher budget and no restrictions"

It´s not that simple. Fallout is a Bethesda IP and Todd Howard´s creation.

Free reign means that Sawyer could do whatever he wants in that universe. Such freedom could put both studios at odds given different creative views.

I don´t think Swayer would like MS giving unrestricted freedom to other teams to mess around with his Pillars of Eternity´s universe either, so I think it would be nice and respectful if he´d approach Todd himself first and share some of his ideas for a possible sequel to New Vegas, before going out making demands on the internet to make somebody´s else game.

porkChop40d ago

Fallout is not Todd Howard's creation. Bethesda bought the Fallout IP. Josh Sawyer also isn't making demands, he's just answering a question.

RaidenBlack40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

You got very little idea regarding gaming before Xbox 360 era.
Fallout is the spiritual successor to 1988's Wasteland, which came wayy before Todd Howard started making games (1995) and was created by Interplay, which later spawns Black Isle Studio, creator of Fallout 1 & 2, where Josh Sawyer also joins few years later. Black Isle Studios becomes Obsidian and Sawyer goes to direct Fallout New Vegas, arguably considered the best Fallout game.
"Free reign means that Sawyer could do whatever he wants in that universe."
~ Yea that's exactly how we got New Vegas, and we want that to happen again. Period.

victorMaje40d ago

Take a moment to appreciate the wisdom & history porkChop & RaidenBlack have kindly imparted upon you despite the amazing ignorance of your statement.

TheNamelessOne41d ago

It wasn't bad, but I didn't like the direction Bethesda took the series with Fallout 4. New Vegas is definitely my favorite in the series (Followed by 2), and would love to see them do another game. Another thing is Larian also spoke interest with the IP and that would be awesome.

shinoff218341d ago

Larian would do it so much justice, obsidian as well. I'm the same. I liked fallout 4 but holy hell was it dumbed down. Some stuff just wast interesting enough ie settlements.

RaidenBlack41d ago

An isometric spin-off from Larian and a New Vegas sequel from Obsidian will just be too good to be true ... and it all depends on Todd Howard

just_looken41d ago

Fallout 4 is also way worse on the base version when it was first tossed out beyond the bible of issues those dlc's made the horrible drop rates go away.

I had ammo factories on each run the you got the custom robot's that made packing these so much easier.

Still so dam sad that the starfield robot's even the ai path finding is way worse than F4

-Foxtrot40d ago

I’d love to have seen what New Vegas could have achieved if it had a proper development cycle, it had a better budget and Obsidian were supported more by Bethesda

The game was great regardless but seeing they had to cut content because of time constraints along with all the idea they talked about concept wise, it would have been even better than it already was.

Microsoft need to put Obsidian on Fallout, Bethesda just don’t have the time anymore.

Demetrius40d ago

Microsoft won't allow that smh, they'll can it after a reveal trailer then cry how they have no games lol. Seriously tho that would be dope, they should give vegas the fallout 4 treatment update visuals a bit and a 60fps patch I'd definitely play that too. Fallout 4 has been hella fun

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits143d ago (Edited 143d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv72143d ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii143d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast143d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM143d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife142d ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit142d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife142d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
