While you can mod New Vegas to be closer to your tastes, if your tastes are "good writing and quests", you are FUCKED as a Fallout 4 player.


Whereas New Vegas can be improved to be much more punishing, difficult, rewarding to individual builds, in Fallout 4 you are stuck with the shit writing and the shit quests, the voiced protagonist and the awful storyline. They are two sides of the same coin: good quests and good writing, and bad quests and bad writing. The flaws of Fallout 4 are things that you can't correct with mods. I've known this for a while but I wanted to say it here: the strengths of New Vegas are things that you can't mod into a game. I replied that with mods you can easily fix that: make combat more difficult and fast paced, and suddenly having dynamite on your side is a God send. Naturally it was a bait I simply couldn't avoid and started replying, on how New Vegas did some things better (mostly writing and quests), how skills and skill checks are great and shouldn't have been removed by Bethesda just because they didn't know how to improve on them, and so on.Įventually the discussion centered around "choice" and how some choices in New Vegas just aren't important, like getting the dynamite from Easy Pete at the start of the game. He or she claimed that Fallout 4 was an objective improvement on everything over New Vegas, with the exception of the dialogue wheel. Which, if you didn’t know, is used in-game to create a wonderfully moody atmosphere.Īs such, the mod includes a questline where light will play an important role in leading you through a dilapidated church as you uncover the truth about a dark and twisted religious congregation and their fall from grace.I had a long discussion with another user on Reddit today. NVIDIA’s Vault 1080 by modder Ex0dus13 is a joint venture between Nvidia and Vault-Tec to show off new ways to handle volumetric lighting. To bring more attention to some of the most amazing expansions the game has seen to date, I decided to put together this ranking and I really hope you find something you like out of it. And we have a wide array of new storylines to pursue in Fallout 4’s Wasteland. Luckily for us, most modders don’t pursue such lines of thinking. The bigger ones? They might as well get bought out by Bethesda to be released as entirely new, full-priced games!

Nowadays even the smaller quest mods can add over an hour of gameplay.

The community built around Fallout 4 has continued putting out content on the regular ever since its release, becoming more sophisticated as time goes by. However, take a quick look at Fallout 4’s NexusMods page and it’s easy to understand the reason. For a lot of people, it’s amazing that even after five years of its official release Fallout 4 remains one of the most played and talked-about open-world games.
