Your audio wasn't bad, you were just in Power Armor

[@megamanx1291]

I have never seen a lore friendly mod vid until today

[@c.a.k.comedy692]

IMMERSIVE AF

[@franciscoaguirre96]

Yes. Someone gets it. FNV good story, F4 great gameplay, together best fallout

[@simonenot5839]

F4 gameplay is decent, not good. For 2014 it was still very disappointing to me, the only really good implementation was the Power armor.

[@CopeAndSeeth]

FNV fanboys be like "oh man FO4 SUCKED!..." *spends hours modding it similar to Fallout 4* lol, both equally pathetic. stand back betas, the FO3 gigachads are coming through (unmodded for maximum pain😎)

[@gerpil1530]

@@CopeAndSeeththis made me cringe quite a bit. Good job!

[@CopeAndSeeth]

@@gerpil1530 thanks dad, I try

[@gerpil1530]

@@CopeAndSeeth very proud of you!

[@FranknKitty]

if you enjoy the immersion aspect of helmet overlays, but find them intrusive, the mod has a MCM where you can tweak the opacity of both the cracks and the normal overlay

[@mathunit1]

0:29 For the people that want Radiant Quests, there's a New Vegas mod called Radiant Infinium. I heard it's pretty dang good.

[@cannonfodder8907]

who wants radiant quests though? theres so many other fantastic quest mods out there and radiant quests are just WoW daily's

[@happycompy]

This video was perfect for me. I haven't played New Vegas or 3, but knowing that i can backport features from 4 into NV is making me consider a playthrough!

[@Palendrome]

You can port 3 into Fallout New Vegas with Tale of Two Wastelands mod (TTW). So then you can get all these new NV mods, and play both Fallout 3 and New Vegas with them with one character!

[@coldbumby]

You should play it, even vanilla it’s amazing

[@Skumtomten1]

@@coldbumby New Vegas don't really need many mods tbh. I'm a bit of an old school player, but the clunky gameplay kinda ads to the game in New Vegas. I also find the weapons and gore to be alot more satisfying in New Vegas. It was the same in Fallout 3, it never gets old blowing something up in that game engine. I do really enjoy Fallout 4 as well, but I need to have several mods for it to actually become enjoyable whereas in New Vegas I can easily play vanilla. My only real criticism to New Vegas is the rather empty world. At times, you can walk for 10 mins without seeing anything or any enemy, which is kinda boring. As far as I know, New Vegas doesn't have random encounters which is a shame. Maybe there is a mod for that.

[@Jack.Offerman]

@@Skumtomten1 I tend to feel the same way about New Vegas, but I've only ever played 4 with bug fixes and Extended Dialogue Interface. What mods do you recommend for 4?

[@MrVeekz]

Man i freaking love your channel, quick and straight to the point always, its great!

[@singjai108]

"...makes you feel like Robocop." I like the sound of that.

[@SmoKKz0r]

Haha damn i forgot fo4 had a dialog wheel. Ty mods…

[@Ricardo-wl6df]

finally i watched some videos, where people didn't understand how to mix the fallout 4 style in fallout new vegas without doing something that totally miss the point of the video or heavily mod the game so it doesn't look like fallout new vegas, what i like about games is doing things to improve the game experience without taking the vanilla aspect of it. sorry for the mistakes in the grammar, english is not my main language.

[@horsesrlife5311]

Don’t apologize

[@courier8365]

The only mods I didn’t know about yet were RAD and Future Fallout Chems mods, and they look pretty rad so I’ll probably grab those. I also completely forgot that the VATS exit key tweak exists and I’ll definitely be using that now, so thanks

[@leosanchez5796]

Bro this was a well put togther vid , made it feel like it was a 30 min video my guy ❤❤

[@coldbumby]

Your super funny man I love your commentary. Great video I’m going to apply all these when I get my steam deck

[@nexus3756]

im glad you came back to nv to do this.

[@rovaan57]

13:18 I have been wondering why my character seemed to develop a ghost voice that screamed mid playthrough, it’s good to know it was likely this mod

[@AVerySillySausage]

2:20 Am I alone in being a fan of more limited weapon modding in favour of more overhaul weapons? Been able to infinitely customise and convert weapons, to the point of switching ammo types is just unnecessary and not a replacement for the fun of finding new weapons. I want go back to the simple system of a weapon being a weapon with a few possible mods and that's it. Having the high amount of customisation of 4 along with the weapon variety of NV is probably too hard to balance and would just add unneeded complexity, I would always choose more weapons.

[@JohnCastleSmokeless]

JAM's Bullet Time feature replicates a slowed-down VATS... _almost._ While you can't simply click on your slowed-down target as you can in VATS, JAM's bullet time slows time _and_ highlights your enemy's targetable zones (torso, limbs, head) just like VATS does.

[@guffingtonreal]

I use it to lineup headshots with rifles and it works great

[@HYDRARMOR]

Honorable mentions: All 3 seasons of Hitman's animations Animated ingestibles True Scopes SIGMA Melee animations b42 inspect animations b42 pickup animations Project reality footsteps All Weapon Sounds Overhaul Desert Natural Weathers

[@josephpeters7076]

Don’t get the attention for true scopes still.

[@TheCapitalWanderer]

mfw no b42 inject

[@cannonfodder8907]

i like that the power armor mod mentioned doesn't make you have obnoxiously large to the point of every weapon in the game looking small in your power armored hands or massive in your non power armored hands

[@JaCrispy3060]

Lmao love that outro. Just downloaded fallout new vegas again for the first time in years.

[@russianbear0027]

I always enjoy the tooddleoo at the end

[@jdcp8976]

5:40 basically what I feel, except for the ridiculous looks of the armor, but that aside the animations are GODLIKE

[@exilestudios9546]

ok i had a major issue with this vid. mod is not short for "module" in this context its short for "modification" as it modifies your game

[@RynonoCap]

Dame I had no idea about the reload as a kid

[@AwesomeBRINKS]

I love how chill and matter of fact you are throughout the video, only to make no attempt to hide your utter disdain for WD and RTS lmfaooo. Good shit dude

[@apoletestry3766]

I actually like the sound of your mic

[@29reskitriyandi23]

Did u happen to stumbled upon problems like the sound of jumping while running with jam mods disappear?

[@jacobc8019]

All these mods are great 😊

[@walkerh8753]

i start a NV playthrough at least once a month. need a lot more modpacks. ive done em all lmao

[@mrazbyte3150]

B42 True Leaning for that contextual lean from 4.

[@voltrainer]

i have actually used alot of these for awhile. i also use oHUD so i can make use of the adjustable hud. and also mtui i think it is, where it mmakes the dialogue and text areas of menus more fitting. widder where it needs to be, resized overall. just much nicer.

[@wallachia4797]

I can't get the smooth iron sights mod working for the life of me. From the mod page, it seems most people have the same issue but there's no solution to be found.

[@notslimshady5784]

It's actually included in Stewie's tweaks. Install Stewie's tweaks and from the main menu go to settings>tweaks and search for manual reload.

[@tomaka121]

Nice, thanks

[@bcav712]

I’m saving this for my next FNV play session

[@corruptpixel8441]

I don't know if I missed it on the video but what's the sprint mod you use?

[@PancuroniumB]

I would use Enhanced Movement nowadays. JAM Sprinting is probably what I showcased though.

[@j-roc3339]

I have that issue when i quickthrow a grenade and a voice in my head shouts.. Watch out!

[@Haitch_Kay]

Ehhh I wouldn't entirely agree with you about FO4's radiation system being better. Having persistent stat debuffs in a game like NV where your stats actually mattered (unlike in 4) is good. I always felt like FO4's system of simply reducing max health can be circumvented by just...healing more. -Combining both of them would be the best option, personally.- Edit: I spoke far too soon! The mod you mentioned does literally what I said. Nevermind.

[@brenomwm]

would this work with viva new vegas

[@morgan_blake]

Man, Just Mods are life changer. After using them, I just couldn't go back to vanilla

[@shotwaffel2642]

Here we go again :D

[@TheRhalf]

Is there any mod to remove the delay between weapon switching? makes the combat extremely jank

[@PancuroniumB]

I notice no delay, either when using vanilla hotkeys or the Quick Select menu mod. It could be stuttering; I would put up a framerate counter and check if it drops while switching weapons.

[@TheRhalf]

@@PancuroniumB No i mean, there's a delay of aprox 1s after the weapon swap animations end where you can't swap back to other weapons or even fire

[@steverambo4692]

Fallout 4’s weapon modding is more quantity over quality, everyone’s always gonna use the best attachment

[@peppermillers8361]

sadly yes, even if it allows for multiple playstyles in theory.

[@TheCapitalWanderer]

eh, not really, considering you can convert one weapon type to another, i dont see any reason why i shouldnt make a hunting smg

[@florin9243]

I actually like the regural power armors in fnv and fo3 Also, less patches for other mods that i need to be aware of.

[@Ojref1]

The lighting map in FO3 and NV is raw, unadulterated ass. Fixing that would be a priority for me were I to do a replay.

[@aceskeletonne7446]

New Vegas Reloaded helps a lot with that, just by adding dynamic shadows it makes the game look so much better

[@JohnCastleSmokeless]

New Vegas Reloaded does some work in that direction.

[@Nahan_Boker94]

The best feature they introduce to fallout 4 is quickloot. Thats it.

[@SimonRobeyns]

exactly, all the rest was donkey doodoo

[@travis391]

Excellent video as always, have you considered adding a "Thanks" button to your KZbin channel? I would love to support you on Patreon, but payment through KZbin is a lot more convenient for me. Hope to see more great videos from you in the future, take care!!

[@PancuroniumB]

Thank you for reminding me that this option exists! I was not eligible for it the last time I checked. There's more content coming down the pipe, don't worry!

[@travis391]

No problem, thanks again!@@PancuroniumB

[@fxliquorfeatoldsheikh1142]

I thought settlement mechanics in FO4 was inspired by New Vegas mods

[@PSNSMANIACALMIND1st]

Hard disagree on RTS. It's not great, but not near as bad as you laid it out, so long as you're not trying to use it as a replication Fo4's silly minecraft mode, which it clearly inspired. Bess is actually great as a pack brahmin and even has a portable tent with all the storage and crafting stations inside. The fact you have to make it to Mojave outpost to receive her also keeps it lore-friendly and at a good progression rate to deter overpowering the early game. I usually gravitate to the Highwayman and eventual Vertibird player home mods for traveling, but having Bess and her tent make foot travel both fun and convenient in the loot/sell gameplay loop. Plus, you can disable the hardcore mode and still build with out all the material requirements. Literally copy and paste any static object from the worldspace with resizing and rotating features.

[@kevinpeeters947]

"weapon hweel"

[@MiguelHernandez-lo5lg]

Might grab some of these mods to help ease my way into New Vegas. I may have started with Fallout 4, but I really wanted to get into New Vegas. The gameplay of NV just felt atrocious imo. The writing is top tier, but physically playing the game makes Sonic 06 look fun in comparison. Okay im being a little dramatic but some of these mods look pretty cool.

[@peppermillers8361]

New Vegas is not THAT unplayable, come on...

[@notslimshady5784]

Knvse animations, all of the b42 mods, JAM, recoil, some of the tweaks in Stewie's tweaks makes the game feel surprisingly modern.

[@TheCapitalWanderer]

it is very boring in comparison yes

[@SimonRobeyns]

@@TheCapitalWanderer boring compared to fallout 4? Man you must be out of your mind haha

[@deadeyecowkillz7580]

man did not even mention the mod that pretty much "inspired" the entire power armor system in fallout 4

[@jackconway6571]

?

[@jdcp8976]

​@@jackconway6571 A shitty ass mod that adds something like fusion cores to the power armors, fucking sucks, TOTNW does it the right way.

⚠REPLACE YOUR V.A.T.S HOTKEY AS YOUR BULLET TIME HOTKEY FOR JAM! JAM'S BULLET TIME IS BASICALLY FO4 V.A.T.S! ⚠

[@gurararawr]

RTS was actually the reason why F04 has settlements. Have some respect

[@boneman-calciumenjoyer8290]

Dozens of weapon configurations in fallout 4 isn't really true. Yeah, you could probably mod 12 different 10mm pistols into "distinct" guns. But there are really just two upgrade paths for most guns. Otherwise most mods are just direct upgrades.

[@sillyfella2009]

real time settler is fun for doing stupid shit once you get the hang of it

[@nicksiegfried4906]

I love how the thumbnail says "upgrading fallout new vegas" and then proceeds to show us literally the ugliest version of the 10mm pistol that's ever existed in a fallout game

[@ezequielmorales4221]

Dude made a video to throw shade at the mods he hates instead of going directly to the mods he likes and recommends.

[@SimonRobeyns]

I would rather like my new vegas features brought into fallout 4 to make fallout 4 an actual game worth playing instead of the other way around

[@ReachTea]

And yet no one has fixed the moment of new Vegas

[@Skibidiman241]

3d movement and diagonal movement with the titans of the new west patch is the way to go

[@just2fast6897]

I like this vid but i dont like the building from f4. The building mechanic can go back to the fallout and NOT to me.

[@nuclearfrog306]
