Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition

byup

but with guns

In a nutshell, an expansion pack/TC mod for F3. If you liked that game (like me), you will like New Vegas. If you didn't, steer clear because it's 95% identical.

I purchased this game day one because I love the game experience. It is indeed a wonderful rpg classic. Knowing the bugginess of the game in prior versions I have played, I was hoping for a better technical experience with this purchase on gog. However, the game is still too buggy and freezes up on loading a save, just as with other copies. Yes I can mod it to fix, I just was hoping for a better game experience "out of the box" with this one. Caveat emptor, folks. you will need to fix this good ol game yourself.

New Vegas is the story of a zombie mailman who came back from the dead to take a poker chip stolen by Chandler from friends and then either help cowboys, romans, Walt Disney, or throw a town into anarchy. Pros: >No SJW shit >True sequel to Fallout 2(And the unreleased van-buren) >Made by competent dev studio responsible for original Fallouts >Retained the feel of the original games >Classic CRPG style mechanics in a real-time first person format >Unique setting(Retro-futuristic wild western) >Fantastic writing >Player has significant impact on the world with many branching possibilities, each with various outcomes that heavily affect the world for the rest of the game and impose long term consequences for the players actions(no illusion of choice mass effect bullshit) >Every character could be killed(except children) >Likewise you can go through the game without ever killing a single living thing. >Almost every character is memorable, especially the companions, each having various dialogue trees for roleplaying that can change depending on your faction, karma, skills/stats or simply how you answer them. (Just watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM1yR7WYqgM) >Voice acting is varied and lines are well delivered with some big names like Danny Trejo and Steve Blum >No binary morality, each of the 22 or so factions are as morally ambiguous as the last and all have realistic motives and cultures. >Diverse, memorable quests that go beyond fetch quests and "Kill X amount of Y" skyrim-tier shit. >Interesting locations >Deep lore and world building >Packed with content with tons of replay potential >Great character customization(in both equipment and skills) allowing for fuckloads of builds or playstyles >perfectly scratches the "explore, loot, equip/sell" itch >Tons of mods to fit anyone's preference(See: ) Cons: >Map is too fucking small and cramped(especially the Vegas area) >No vehicles or horses >Uses the shitty havok physics engine, picking up a spoon will make everything jump off the table. >No co-op functionality >Buggy as hell(Bethesda was in charge of the QA, they fucked up their 1 job on the game) >Bethesda potato faces >Ugly orange tint over everything, looks nothing like the actual Mojave desert >No dynamic shadows >animations are janky >unfinished(Legion quest, post-ending content, unused companions, unreleased quests) >closed source It's graphically ugly, the gunplay is sub-par, the map is too small and cramped, the game is buggy as hell, and the engine is a 14 year old mess made of twigs and duct tape... But I love it to pieces <3 It will always be special to me.
