California Dreamin' but you're a NCR trooper fighting for the Republic at Hoover Dam

Legion Go Home.

[@drdrdr9288]

Cool video, but what kind of mods for animation of movement and running?

[@Nefiji]

Here's a summary of what I think the most prevalent mods in this video are. lStewieAl's Tweaks and Engine Fixes -> No zoom-in when aiming down sights + slowed down strafing/backpedaling Smooth True Iron Sights Camera -> Aim down sights without the weapon snapping in place Iron Sights Aligned -> Vanilla iron sights are aligned really badly JVS - Just Vanilla Sprint -> Sprinting by pressing Shift Dramatic Staggering -> Very expressive staggering animations EVE - Essential Visual Enhancements -> Lots of visual enhancements, i.e. better looking explosions & tracers as well as dismemberment blood spurts New Vegas - Enhanced Camera -> Adding head bobbing effect when walking I disabled the HUD for the recording of the scenes, and used a through console commands manipulated save file. (This is actually the independent Vegas Hoover Dam battle) Also obviously tons of added ambience & SFX in VEGAS Pro.

Thank you. :) As good as the series was, they did the NCR dirty. This here is what would happen if the brotherhood fought the real ncr forces, especially with veteran rangers present.

[@GigiBranconi]

Also, the Brotherhood was like, a single bunker. They were a tiny subsection left, at least on the East Coast. The West would have needed to fight their entire way through half a country of Legion territory to even make it to the NCR and at that point they would have been scrap metal to just pick off. It doesn't make any sense. The Brotherhood is overhyped af to begin with. And homophobic, never forgive for what they did to Veronica and Christine 😤

[@SaturnsRing98]

The gameplay is really well done as it really feels quite cinematic. The Rangers grabbing weapons, pushing, and one yelling that nobody fucks with the NCR was badass, the usually comedic gore feels different with this ambience & perspective especially when the Heavy Trooper's head & helmet fly off, and the way you duck for cover when hearing the bombing run starts all add to this. Was this all in one lucky recorded run or did you have to reload a couple times to get it looking just right?

[@Nefiji]

Oh, it definitely took a few tries to get the gameplay recording just right. Had to get a feel for the timings of important occurrences, so that I could integrate them into my camera work, and also the general pacing was important, since the skirmish needed to be concluded when the song ended. In addition to that, I also kept tinkering with the save file after each few runs. This is actually the independent Hoover Dam battle, but with non-NCR combatants besides the Legion disabled, newly introduced NCR units as well as a few assigned 4083b script packages, so that NPCs would follow the player character around. All in all I'm pretty happy with how the gameplay turned out, and the rest of the desired atmosphere has been achieved with lots of added SFX & ambience. From little details, like having the alarm go off after the AA gun explodes, to more essential things like character dialogue or close-by gunfire & explosions.

[@ThunderTheBlackShadowKitty]

Let's be real, this is EXACTLY how the 2nd battle would go in the lore. No chance any Legion soldier can charge across the Dam in football gear and a machete. Veteran rangers would pick them off. They'd then be met with heavy armor troops, then an endless supply of regular troopers. The Legion has NO alternative or counter to NCR snipers, none. This epic battle of hoover dam shouldn't even be a thing. The Legion would automatically lose due to inferior technology. Simple as.

[@tastethecock5203]

Thats how the first battle went, and that what strategy General Oliver plans to use - simple mass troopers at Hoover Dam and win them at staged battle. But if you look at the game - Legion doesn't simply plans to rush the hoover dam with Machetes. Most of their soldiers outside of recruits have guns. Legion focuses on harrassing NCR supply lines and attacking weak spots, infiltrating their ranks. Without player intervention NCR would be demoralized, undersupplied and completely surrounded at the Dam. Thats what everyone criticizes general oliver - that he thinks he can simply outshoot the legion, while Legion already enroaches on NCR territory and constantly attacks their supplies

I think you probably mean the head bobbing effect when walking around? In that case it's "New Vegas - Enhanced Camera", and you need to enable the optional headbob feature in the mod's .ini file. I can't play the game without this effect anymore. I think that the character perfectly levitating over the ground when moving around looks pretty subpar in the vanilla game, haha.
