Been watching a stream, and the disguise thing looks awesome, however I see one problem. If you steal some BoS power armor, will you be considered BoS and their enemies will attack you? What if you find faction armor which is better than your own? According to the description in the stream, from wearing powder gang clothing, their enemies will attack you, and since I think their criminals thats a lot of people. Btw, is this really considered spoilers?

Yes. I have a pair of Pre-War Clothing that I jump into when coming on new encampments - just in case it's a faction. I accidentally forget to take off my Powder Gang clothes and got face blasted by NCR thugs.

Holy shit trying to get mods to work together is a fucking chore

BOSS for FO3

This program has been helping me out quite a bit in getting things to work together.

EDIT: Be sure to grab the updated masterlist file as well, if you decide to use it.

That seems annoying compared to Fallout 3, especially if your traveling with someone and you decide "Ope, time to fight, time to put on the Caesars legion suit" or whatever, and if your allied to NCR, and they attack you. The only thing I see to escape this predicament is to have neutral armor like Metal armor or Combat armor.

I'm going to play as the illegitimate bastard son who is the result of a tryst between one of the surviving prostitutes from the Blue Destiny Brothel and Herbert 'Daring' Dashwood years before the events in Fallout 3, who made his way east to seek his fortune after the Tenpenny Massacre.

I don't understand... you are allied with NCR but want to wear Caesars Legion armor? Just wear what the NCR give you.

Can you tell us if there really isnt any level 30 perks ?

Big Classy

This sucks. I really want to get this but sadly I don't even know if it'll run well enough to enjoy it. Hopefully Fallout 3 will be discounted enough to warrant an impulse buy and I'll be able to judge from that. Oh also, monies! *shakes fist* Where are you when I need you, bitch!

Zen Vulgarity

Hot damn that worked

I guess I'll wait for that masterlist to include more stuff

If only there was a perk that let you crucify people to telephone poles...


That attack of the fanboy review is a joke.. he spends half the time complaining that it looks like fallout 3. He says it feels like Oblivion with guns -- what insight!

What if your NCR armor is lesser than your Caesars Legion armor? What if you have more Caesars Legion armor from killing them and you get a higher damage threshold and DR? Btw, this isn't a complaint, just something I find a bit quirky.
Edit: Now that I think about it, I actually like the idea, having to wear uniforms for your different factions.

Don't be fooled by the description as it's a little out of date. It actually supports much more than the 300 it says. Around at least a thousand I think. Also, this link updates the masterlist more often than the Nexus link.

EDIT: Also, Bethesda forum thread link for BOSS

Foolish Chaos

If you have better legion armor than NCR armor, then you have to make the choice of either wearing the armor or not.

It would be just like if I was with NCR but some guy came up to me and said "Ill give you 300 caps to defect and join the legion."

Get loyal.

BoredGamer

Pfffhhh, picking sides is for losers.

I'm gonna pit them against each other and then end up the king of the mojave desert.

I'm surprised how much the load order matters

Yeah, believe me, after all the crashes I suffered over the years due to mods, BOSS was an absolute godsend.

Zen Vulgarity

Now recognize apocalypse armory already

Greenleaf

I think my S.P.E.C.I.A.L worked out for a hardcore run:

str: 5
per: 5 (6 with trait)
end: 6
cha: 5
int: 6
agi: 7
lck: 6

I know I want to be a sneaky evil character for the first time around, so I want to work the Cannibal perk in there somewhere. I was thinking something like

L2: Friend of the Night
L4: Educated
L6: Toughness
L8: Pack Rat (70 Barter req. sucks)
L10: Cannibal
L12: Silent Running
L14: Adamantium Skeleton

Not sure what else.

manwiththemachinegun

Is there a list of non-spoiler perks yet? (basic ones, not super rare ones)

Zen Vulgarity

Dragkonias

They got rid of the Cyborg perk...that was my favorite one.

Yeah, any luck?

Are you trying to set up mods for NV before it's even out? I doubt anything works with it at the moment, they will probably all have to be rewritten.

Oh.

Well it's not an expansion, you can keep your Fallout 3 and New Vegas completely separate.

Rizzi

Yikes. Trying to hunt down a store that is going to get the strategy guide is hard. I think I am going to have to buy it online.

captaink

Amazon's got both editions for cheap!

So I already didn't have school this Tuesday, and today I learn that I probably won't have it Wednesday either.

The stars are aligning!

I have a half day on Tuesday, and a doctors appointment on Thursday.

I am so taking Thursday off.

But I still have Wednesday in the middle, and Friday after that before its the weekend. Still, going to be a awesome week

Jebral

So I've been experiencing short, random bursts of agonizing pain in my left heel. This sucks. But my appointment to have it seen about is Tuesday morning!

So I get up, go to the Doctor, get a cortisone shot in my heel and THEN enjoy my New Vegas filled day off

In other words, blue dot.
