Combine these two. You knock out someone with the gloves, and if they can't answer the 3 count you take one shot with the Survivalist's Rifle. If they live, you continue to box. If they die, they die.
>worse oblivion
lmao even morrowind with hits "miss infront of enemy" shit is better than Oblivion's combat which just devolves into hitting each other with pool noodles while you get stun locked to death
Charisma is practically useless in New Vegas. All it does is give you companion buff and started speech boost. You can raise speech to 100 completely independent of Charisma and succeed at every check.
are assault guns worth in this game? i always felt i get pressured to save amo in all my games, thats why i usually pick highest dmg per bullet weapons most of them.
>i always felt i get pressured to save ammo in all my games
Only issue is weight in hardcore. Money is so easy to make in New Vegas that buying tons of ammo isn't an issue and you'll loot tons of it anyways.

Most of the weapons not in this pack are just real life guns that have had variants already existing for years.
A few of Millenia's weapon mods have been getting re-packs lately to cut down a lot of the fat and Hitman, the guy that made the mod in the second link has been doing a bunch of animations for those Millenia weapons.
Tactics had stuff like the Sten, Uzi, Pancor, AK and M16 and I know those mods already include those.

>like using exclusively unique named guns like the Lucky, Maria, Ratslayer, etc >unique guns can't use mods so have like a whole inventory full of mods I picked that have no use
unique guns are slightly better than fully upgraded basics, so you can totally still run basics instead. the ONLY difference is lucky. as lucky effectively lets you shoot with 5 free points of luck.
Does anyone use the mod BNB? It was good for the first half of the game but once you get to the strip, it treats everyone as generic npc bodies and it results in truly awful abhorrent strippers that pretty much ruin everything. Is there a fix for this?
Avellone's Black OC donut steel pointed him there because think tanks misplaced or otherwise ruined the research data on holograms, chemical weapons and vending machines so he had to go to the testing ground.
Elijah was asshurt about being too stupid to plug back in one generator to the Helios One mainframe and turn on the automated defenses to remove NCR, ran away like a b***h with a chip on his shoulder about literally everyone but himself, found big mountain, and bear and bull man who told him about Sierra Madre where he would totally find everything he needs forever and not prewar toxic gas and death at the hands of a mute, schizo, autist and a wild card who can mix and match any of the previous traits
In all my playthroughs no matter how much I vary it up, I always end up never using followers or wanting to use them.
To me they always end up getting themselves killed and it's annoying that it's a permadeath thing too.
Not to mention how they initiate combat when I don't want to and just their general annoyingness for all of them.

Yeah what was with that anyway? Can we talk about how weird these things were?
I always felt uncomfortable by how paper thin every part of it but the barrel was.
There were definitely other weapons/armours that looked modded in and I can never tell if it was base game or just something not mentioned as included in one of the random mods I've installed.
>fallout >read people emails or journal entries on computer >no sperg out >skyrim/elderscrolles etc >read non book jounal entries dumping exposition on a random computer generated loot dungeon >get taken out the game ,seethe, sperg out, yell.
why is this ? is it the quality of the writing? do they fix this in fallout76? heard early fo76 had shitty audio recording expositions.
I don't really know what it is exactly that you're talking about since the only elder scrolls games I've played are a decent amount of casual ESO and like 10 hours of Skyrim but I'm gonna go out and hazard a guess it's just because Fallout has a more grounded setting where it's easy to already get context for things existence by comparing it to our world alone letting the emails and journal entries we find be less exposition dumps and just short stories instead told in a format that doesn't take the player out of the experience.
Because the Elder Scrolls games are a purely fictional world I can imagine they don't have many outlets other than journal entries to use as potentially necessary exposition dumps instead of just being short stories and read like wiki excerpts.
If you walk into a collapsed building's basement in Fallout and encounter a ghoul, so long as you know what a ghoul is by talking to them you have all the context necessary to understand it.
On the flipside if you walk into a crypt in Elder Scrolls and see a skeleton you're gonna have to explain to the player what the hell is going on. Especially with the fact the series also has traditional zombies and whatever those Draugr things were.
At some point during ESO I just sort of switched my brain off whenever they introduced new things. I stopped trying to understand them and instantly clicked out of any books that came up after a while.

Oh yeah and the note and audiolog stuff in Fallout 76 is pretty much on par with how it was in Fallout 3 and NV. Mostly short story stuff, not all that bad. Most of them pointed you to small secrets plotted around if you payed attention to them. Most of the notes got turned into audiologs so you could move around while listening to them instead of having 1 person in your group of friends stay still while reading a note to everyone.
There's an easter egg hunt style cross country thing to get the Alien Blaster and ammo for it if you follow the notes.
Some just served as extra background details to some locations you'd go to. There's a particularly really good one in a mine that has a secret cavern with an eldritch monster in it to continue that thread they had going in Fallout 3 and 4.

You have clearly never tried playing melee in a Bethesda game.
Very good Randall.... HOWEVER
doesnt it get mogged by simple laser rifle with full upgrades?
Yes, but every other energy weapon in the game does as well.
Only on a crit energy weapons build. If you're not stacking crit chance Holorifle is better.
I wish you could get a mass production semi-auto holorifle at some point that isn't a homemade slapped together piece of shit rigged up by Elijah
Yeah the Holorifle's niche is that you don't need to take any Energy Weapon perks for it to be reliably strong.
You have to figure out how to aim it, even bent the iron sights can still line up shots using their left side.
I liked the survivalist holotapes.
the only good build in every game is a chicken shit pussy charisma build
Charisma is practically useless in New Vegas. All it does is give you companion buff and started speech boost. You can raise speech to 100 completely independent of Charisma and succeed at every check.
You've never played the game if you think charisma is a good special kek. I play on 1 CHR every time
are assault guns worth in this game? i always felt i get pressured to save amo in all my games, thats why i usually pick highest dmg per bullet weapons most of them.
Most of them are pretty meh, besides some of the mini-guns.

call me a normoid all you want. I like exploding things with the Battle Rifle, simple as
>for me it has to be the 9mm pistol
>for me it's Silenced .22 pistol
>*slaps your gunfu's ass*
Patrician's choice. Best shotgun in NV
What about the Dinner Bell?
iron sight is fricked on this gun
can't even shoot shoot in centre
I bet you can't tell what's my favorite outfit to go with it
Fists are the best weapon in the game
>always in inventory

How the frick do you use this shit on a no VATS playthrough?
Sorry but this is the best gun in the Mojave
for as overpowered as Fists are in New Vegas, you'd think they'd at least make this insane thing use up ammo.
They tried but he Gamebryo engine is just that fricked up.
This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
God, I love headshotting vipers, raiders & lakelurks with this baby.

Ahem
wait shit lol, I meant the anti-materiel rifle here
for me, it's blasting a bighorner to bits from a mile away.
For me it's the hunting shotgun with slugs
My man, one of the sweetest shotguns in any vidya I've played.
For me it's Ratslayer.

Turning a homie into a flaming skeleton is much better. I should see if there's anything like that for FNV.
You need more?
The engraving gives you no tactical advantage whatsoever.
it actually gives it a higher crit chance moron
Fricking zoomers.
Everyone knows what he's talking about, dumbass. You want to trade MGS quotes back and fourth, is that it?
I get the quote. I still think it's stupid. Engravings give you no tactical disadvantage either.
Yeah, but it looks b***hin and gives me pussy getting advantages
The sexiest. Maria comes second, she's a 9mm, too girly for my needs.
For me it's the chicago typewriter
and whenever I get to it, the BAR
The last one was garbage, but for me, it's the Sweet Revenge
Great revolver, honestly. The best mod revolver I've seen, anyway.
I'm a simple man.

Why was Elijah obsessed with the Sierra Madre?

They only die in hardcore mode.
Yes I know
You do realize there's perks for that right?
skill issue
if your companions die, it's on you not them
learn how to actually care for your companions instead of whining
also have fun missing out on 50% of the story in companion quests
>also have fun missing out on 50% of the story in companion quests
most of them suck
Gatling laser chads report in
Highest T weapon by far
I hate how godawful Fallout's laser weapons look.
Most of them look good IMO, It's just the institute guns look terrible.
I disagree. The Plasma weapons look much better
>not using lever action rifles only
ngmi
For me, its the Cowboy Repeater (or Medicine Stick)
Why do I prefer the cleaner sexier and slicker common version?
I always ended up using the two M4s that looked like they were modded in
Yeah what was with that anyway? Can we talk about how weird these things were?
I always felt uncomfortable by how paper thin every part of it but the barrel was.
