I always tell myself, I'll kill him this playthrough but never do it, he's just too funny to me

Long story short, my almost decade old laptop's screen is on the fritz 😢 (I use it to check emails and play my older games like Fallout and Star Wars Battlefront 2 2005), so I'll have to reinstall New Vegas on my newer laptop I got last year when I'm finished moving this weekend. I'm toying with the idea of installing TTW, but want to know a few things before I do:

Does TTW feel extremely different to base New Vegas? (Is it going to be a jarring experience to someone who's been playing NV for almost 10 years now?)

Do any weapons feel nerfed due to rebalancing? (Either due to them being weaker than before, or not being able to keep up with the weapons that were made better.)

Are there any builds/ perks that feel nerfed or buffed? (Is a no luck, no crit shotgun with shotgun surgeon + and stay back build viable, or are crits a necessity for harder difficulty? Do explosives builds still feel satisfying?)

Is the Black Mountain shortcut still a thing early game? (I like heading to Vegas early without bring brained by Super Mutants at lvl 1.)

Is it awkward story or balancing wise going from New Vegas to Fo3? (Does finishing or being in the end game if NV, then going over to 3 throw off the scaling? Does the main story feel weird given how a key part of 3 is finding the Lone Wanderer's dad, and the Courier is not them?)

How would you rate your overall TTW experience? (Is it worth it?)

• Viability 5 (Is it a struggle compared to your other options?):

This game perks and gears cover all your bases, pick your preferred weapon (any will do, seriously), rank your unarmed skill and upgrade your endurance stat, be sure to grab Slayer and Super Slam! (throw in a rushing water on top for good measure) and you turn basically into Kenshiro, if you manage to get close they are already dead, i would say that's the core for any unarmed build, and it's pretty modest too, so you can spend the rest of the levels and perk points at your leisure.

• Variety 5 (How many ways you can play it?):

You have about 40 different options for weapons (some are uniques of course), my personal favorites are "Love and Hate", "Super Heated Saturnite Fist", "Two Step Goodbye" and "Greased Lightning" (shoutout to the GRA variant of the Power Fist and Pushy). The moveset is really cool, you can learn all these moves from the different factions you came across, from the ranger takedown (a sweep that knock down enemies), the Scribe Counter (parry), Legion Assault (a powerful leap attack forward that knockback foes) and the Khan Trick (YEAH, THROW SOME DIRT IN THEIR EYES!), be sure to get all of them moves before angering any of them.

• Recommend 5 (How much did i personally enjoy it!):

This game is not very difficult, even on very hard (with hardcore mode on) the leveling system is pretty generous, the gear and perks is pretty overpowered so you could literally finish it without firing a single bullet, it's incredible how this 15 year old game still does it better than most of what comes today when it comes to punching things (and yes, it puts Fallout 4 to shame on that regard).

is there anything i can do to fix this? I recently purchased a dlc bundle and haven’t been able to use it because the game will load like this seemingly without end every time i try to open it after pressing play. i have no mods.

Edit: This is not my first playthrough. I played the game for the first time in February and had no major problems except for the occasional crash. The game can only be played in windowed mode now.

Hey everyone, I'm back with a new trailer for my post-apocalyptic game. I spent two hours making it, so please rate it.

For some time I've been comparing West Coast Fallout games geographically to GTA SA, and there are a lot of things in common. Heres a small list of names in Real Life, Fallout and GTA with some notes.

Big Cities:

Los Angeles = Boneyard = Los Santos, The city you start in, in both Fallout and GTASA, interestingly enough both Fallout TV show and GTA 5 brings us back here.

San Francisco = San Fierro, second game and second island you unlock in GTA, fun fact, GTA also has a parody of the Scientology movement in form of Epsilon in GTA5, similar to Hubologists.

Las Vegas = New Vegas = Las Venturas, 3rd island and 3rd installment on the West Coast, this place was the worst, I've had to bend the map a lot and in GTA the Hoover Dam (Sherman Dam) is streches between California and Nevada so yeah. Not that good in GTA lore so I'm sure you guys can come up with some interesting parallels.

Smaller locations:

Bakersfield = Necropolis = Palomino Creek, somehow, the reality bending properties of Necropolis placed it perfectly where PC is in GTA, despite neither being anywhere near Bakersfield. I'm sure the Enclave is behind this or something idk.

Carson City/Reno = New Reno = Fort Carson, I've had to cheat here a little bit, Carson isn't shown in Fallout and Reno isn't shown in GTA, but they are so close to one another that I've decided to treat them as one, also New Reno mentioned!!!

Lost Hills = Lost Hills (Brotherhood) = Blueberry, here the spacetime bending does its job again, while Lost Hills are a real place, the Fallout location isn't exactly near where it is irl, and so it landed in Blueberry which is based on both Santa Maria and Bakersfield again. Well, a happy little accident.

Goodsprings = Goodsprings = Las Payasadas, chicken.

Barstow = The Hub = ?, yeah I've got nothing for this one but the Hub decided to tag along for the ride so here it is.

So yeah, I haven't played GTA SA in a while so some stuff might be flying over my head here, but I hope you enjoy anyways!

I haven't made the T-45 helmet yet; for now, it's wearing the T-60 helmet.

I played this for the first time recently and was ready to praise it but it just fell apart. After looking online it seems that the quest lines being bugged is unfortunately very common.

Starting out I was having a blast as I was discovering secrets about these creepy cannibals and it made me feel like I was in a tv show. The closer I got to busting these people the more dead bodies that seemed to appear at every corner.

But then I got to the part where I was gonna out the leader in front of everyone and feed him fake meat but there was not option to reveal the kid by the time his speech ends cause the kid would just follow you. Then the people would see the kid and shoot at me. So I just returned the kid to his dad and tried to to drug the wine but that did nothing. I tried to interrupt the speech but the guy acted like he didn’t know me and shot at me. So now I have an unfinished quest marker.

Some are unique weapons and others are original creations; likewise, the helmets feature unique designs.🫡🫡🔥

Here's mine
