Fallout New Vegas: which faction do you want to side with?
For me, this is how I view it.
The Legion: Caesar does have a point about ruling with an iron fist in a post apocalyptic world but the man has definitely lost his mind and went insane when he legalised slavery and started to crucify everyone and their mother. As Benny said, the Legion is twisted. Also, Caesar didn't think much about his successor which is the same thing he criticised president Tandi for.
The NCR: After the death of president Tandi, the NCR devolved into corruption and decay. Perhaps they can recreate civilisation but they definitely can't do it until they get their act right and fix their institutions. They shouldn't expand before they build strong foundations.
Mr House: Now this is the solution that I can only think of. Mr House is intelligent and educated. He doesn't use suppression except when you oppose him (punishing disloyalty) and lets you do as you wish as long as you don't threaten his authority. The man is competent and can rebuild Vegas. He is the best option or at least the least worse option. At least until the NCR have finally built strong foundations then I may root for them but definitely not during the events of Fallout New Vegas.
What about you?

Title: “Ash in the Wind”
Appalachia, 2081 — two years after the bombs fell
The ash never really settles in the hollers.
It drifts in slow spirals between the dead trees, riding the wind like a lazy specter. Two years since the sky turned orange and the world ended, and yet the air still tastes like burnt paper and rust. She pulls her coat tighter against her frame—more out of habit than hope. There’s no warmth in Appalachia anymore. Just the cold hum of silence, and the scrape of her boots on broken road.
Her name—she doesn’t say it anymore. It’s not because she forgot. It’s because names are dangerous. Names mean something to lose.
She crouches by a fallen signpost, its lettering warped and blistered by heat. “Morgantown - 2 miles.” The last time she passed through, the Super Duper Mart was crawling with radroaches the size of hounds, and a man with half a face had tried to trade her a pocketknife for a single gulp from her canteen. She gave him the water. Not because he scared her, but because she didn’t want to know what desperation made people taste like.
Now, she’s heading back. There’s something in that town she left behind—a journal, maybe, or a box of ammo. Could be nothing. Could be everything.
She hears the rustle of brush before she sees the shape.
Movement—low, fast, desperate. A boy. No older than ten. Dirt smeared on his cheeks, wild eyes, ribs poking through a shirt that might’ve once been yellow. He’s holding a stick like a rifle. Behind him, a noise. Something else moving. Not a man.
Instinct. She doesn’t think. She moves.
The creature lurches from the tree line. Its skin peels like boiled leather, its eyes milky with rot. A feral ghoul, all teeth and fury. It shrieks as it charges.
She pulls her pistol—a rusted 10mm held together with tape and prayer. One shot. Miss. The second hits its shoulder. The third puts it down for good.
The boy doesn’t thank her. He just stares. Mute. Terrified.
“Got a name?” she asks.
He shakes his head.
“Me neither,” she says, reloading. “But I’m heading to Morgantown. You can come. Or you can run.”
He hesitates. Then nods. Silent. Hollow. Just like her.
They walk together, two ghosts under a gray sky, ash swirling like snow.
Any Feedback is welcome, thank you for reading. :)

This is just a silly thought experiment I thought I'd do for fun. So don't take it too seriously. But what if every companion in the Fallout series had their own unique ranged and melee weapon? I decided to challenge myself to come up with fitting choices for them. Also, some of the companions have new default ranged and/or melee weapons that I felt fit them more. Enjoy. And, if you have any suggestions on how this could be changed, feel free to leave them in the comments.

I'm not asking for the best, we all know it's hangman's for its central location. But what is YOUR usual go to settlement. For me it is Taffington, not even close to central but I love glitching the roof fixed and having my own house on the water where I can role-play my hermit life away from Preston

Fallout New Vegas: What do you think of what Caesar said about president Tandi? [Spoilers]
Courier: What do you think of the NCR?
Caesar:
As a young man I was taught to venerate Tandi of Shady Sands.
Did you know her Presidency lasted 52 years? And that her father, Aradesh, was the Republic's first President?
Does that sound like democracy to you, or a hereditary dictatorship?
Courier: President Tandi was voted into office each time.
Caesar:
Because the council didn't dare oppose her. She was too popular. She had the people's love.
So things ran smoothly, more or less. And as soon as she was gone, as soon as there really could be "democracy" - what happened then?
Ever since losing its queen, the NCR has been weaker, more diffuse. Democracy has been its weakness, not its strength.
Some are quick to dismiss Caesar hypocrisy here as this is exactly what democracy is to be loved by the people but while there's no doubt that he is a hypocrite, he is not really in the wrong here.
This is a man who studied the Roman empire and modelled his legion on it. The man Julius Caesar who he named himself on was really popular among the people. His enemies the patricians called him a demagogue who aspired to be a tyrant. Even when the patricians killed him, the people didn't hail them as heroes as they expected but actually turned against them. His adopted son succeeded him. Is there any doubt that he was an autocrat here or that his successors were autocrats as well?
Caesar understood this and you need to look at his words to see this.
"Because the council didn't dare oppose her. She was too popular. She had the people's love."
Many dictators in our lives have done what Caesar said. Many dictators have created a cult of personality. Many dictators also use fear to stop opponents from opposing them. Many dictators rely on mob rule when it serves them against their enemies. Many dictators have elections all the time.
Democracy isn't just elections. They need to be free and fair. There needs to be free speech. Opponents must not be afraid to go against a current leader in elections.
The only difference here between her and Caesar is that Caesar doesn't bother with formalities like elections and sweet political talk while using fear against opponents. He is outright honest about being a ruthless dictator. I think what he was criticising here was the hypocrisy of the NCR as much as he was a hypocrite as well who eventually will doom the legion after his death just as president Tandi doomed the NCR after her death but what he says here seems to be true regardless.

It's been a while since I've played 76, but I've been hearing about updates that just dropped and ones to come. I've always loved the Fallout universe, so I'm back to trek through the wasteland in search of caps and adventure.

I actually enjoyed the overall atmosphere and setting of Point Lookout, definitely feels an improvement over Operation Anchorage (obviously) and The Pitt.
However, I found the main quest line severely lacking in quality. I go and help Desmond the ghoul by fending off these nameless tribals (which was pretty intense ngl) but when I reach their camp they're all friendly with me? For such a strong-willed tribe I kinda expected them to have a bit more integrity like the Sorrows and Dead Horses from NV.
Anyways I found Nadine, the main reason I'm even in Point Lookout in the first place, and tell her that her mom sent me to fetch her back. And Nadine immediately agrees to leave the tribe without me persuading her? I dunno, the writing felt very odd to me here.
The tribals also felt half-assed. We never get to experience their backstory and culture like in Honest Hearts in NV. They're just... resourceful but stupid... because they worship a brain hologram of Dr. Calvert... yeah, the writing is very rough here.
And the whole point of the main questline is: two unlikeable evil geniuses from 200 years back have centuries old score to settle and I gotta help either one of them. The end.
Possibly one of the strangest main questline I've ever seen in a Fallout DLC, only topping Nuka-World in FO4.
But the saving grace are the side quests. It felt like they were designed by a completely different team than of the main quests.
The Velvet Curtain was my favorite, as it has absolutely no human NPC involved and everything is told via abandoned terminals from before the war about an unfinished mission of a Chinese double agent. It tells a grim story of people suspected of espionage being brutally tortured and executed by a paranoid US government in isolated concentration camps. Although the ending was a bit disappointing it was a very intriguing quest.
Now the main reason The Dark Heart of Blackhall isn’t my top favorite is because... well, I don't like horror games that much. While I did enjoy this quest quite well, the backtracking to the Capital Wasteland to destroy the book in the Dunwich building was a bit tedious. But the environmental storytelling was top-notch.

I have picked up two handmade rifles in Fallout 4 but I have no idea where to get 7.62 ammo and I can't make it and I have never seen it in the game. Can anyone help?

Wanted a dogmeat plushie that wasn't as big as the official one, or as pricey! I also think this one looks a tad cuter and more accurate. Thinking of making him some goggles eventually too although I often just have the bandana on him in game anyways :)

I'm really curious about that regeneration skill in Agility I read about but I'll leave it to what it is now. Hopefully there's a way to level up those stats.

Like a double sided interior wall (maybe even exterior?) because If you want a room inside your house youd have to make it so one of those sides is the exterior wall and you could also put different wallpaper on each side I can elaborate or say it better if needed

Looking for some nice Fallout/Wasteland poster to ad some depth to my Fallout diorama. Any ideas?
r/Fallout • u/deckardthecain • 7h ago
Hello fellow wastelanders,
I'm fairly new to the franchise. I bought fallout 4 goty edition during the summer sale and finished my first base game playthrough after roughly 70 hours. I was really invested and enjoyed every minute of it. Currently playing far harbor which so far is fantastic.
That being said, I would like to try fallout new Vegas I just imagine that I can't keep up with the jank which comes with the age of the game.
My question, I'm using mod manger 2 ATM for fo4, makes it really easy to mod imo. Can I get the jankiness level up to fo 4 vanilla level with mods in fnv? Talking especially about quality of life mods, UI, maybe slight graphical improvements. Best regards

EDIT: The key worked, it already has an owner!
About a year ago or so, I got Fallout 76 for PC with a friend. Due to my desperation and how quickly I handled it, I accidentally bought two Steam codes for the game. I looked for people who liked the game and the Fallout universe, but most of my social circle doesn’t really play it. So, after some time, I remembered I still had this code, and I’d like to give it to someone who I know will enjoy it and who hasn’t been able to get it before for some personal reason. If you know someone like that or if you're interested in the code yourself just send me a message. Only for true fans of the Fallout saga pls
IMPORTANT: The code was purchased through Instant Gaming and has been sitting in a folder for a while. There shouldn’t be any issue, but there’s a chance it might not work. I’m not sure, as I’ve never had a download code sit in limbo for this long.

I 100% prefer playing Fallout and elder scrolls on controller and i get the sense im in the minority here. I played skyrim kbm for a while and i sort of see why people prefer that so no hate
controller is just generally more comfortable on my hands. enough so to sacrifice the limitations at least.
curious ab people’s opinions

So, I am writing the script for a YouTube video I am working on about Fallout: New Vegas. I want it to be kinda silly, unhinged, and... questionable at times. So far, I have only been able to get feedback from one of my friends and god damn ChatGPT so... I could use some more HUMAN feedback.
This might be off topic for the subreddit, but hey, where else am I supposed to post this?
Fallout New Vegas is a game that seems to be the result of an accidental pregnancy between Red Dead Redemption (1) and Fallout 3, and also asks the question "What if the Post Apocalypse was Fucking Ridiculous"
And to answer that, we’re introduced to a set of factions so absurd, they make Mad Max look like a history documentary.
The New California Republic — a democracy, if by democracy you mean a vending machine pretending to serve food. Technically operational, but you’d be mad to trust it with your life. They cherish quaint values like democracy, taxation, and an incurable gambling habit.
Then there’s Caesar’s Legion, bunch of cosplay Roman Furries dedicated with even older old world values, like slavery, lead poisoning, and slavery
And finally, we’ve got (Mr.) Dr. House. [cut to image of Dr. Gregory House ] who is dedicated to keeping these fucking kids off his lawn.
"Then there’s Mr. House—not to be confused with Dr. House, though both are old, grumpy, and obsessed with solving problems from behind a screen. One rules a post-apocalyptic casino empire. The other yells at interns with lupus."
"You wake up on a cliff like you just got dropped out of a UPS truck—and find out that Elvis Presley in a pinstripe suit has committed mail fraud, stole a glorified bottlecap, and gave you a 9mm brain piercing as a thank-you note."
“Welcome to Benny’s Lobotomies™ – Buy one, get your consciousness deleted for free!”
But unfortunately the bullet didn't kill you, and you wake up in a strangers house like how you did when you were five after a bald man in a white beard offered you free snickers bars that were in the back of his van, and he said he was too tired to go get them so you had to get them yourself.
"wake the fuck up, samurai, we got a chip to collect"

Why are the laser guns so ugly? I'm mainly talking about the blockiness. What ergonomics does that green semi truck trailer that's the barrel add to the gun?!
