Fallout: New Vegas add-ons

Does this irritate anyone?

*Spoilers*

---------------------------

Hear me out,but does anyone find it weird that the Fallout Prime series,which is supposed to by lore accurate,got a part of the lore incorrect.The subject of this rant is of how the Fallout show nullified a pre-established part of fallout lore,this change being in of how in the finale we are shown the groups that conspired to end the war with the bombs included Frederick Sinclair of the Sierra Madre as an Executive of BIG MT.Not only did they get the fact that Sinclair was a CLIENT of Big MT and not an Executive wrong,they also got the way he looked wrong too.Take a look...

(F:NV DM)

(Fallout [S1E8])

Anyone notice glaring contradictions in these two images? I noticed quite a few.First of all,Sinclair was not a round man,he was a slim man as shown in the mosaic.Second of all,he doesn't have any of his defining features.and finally,he wouldn't even be at this meeting,he would be presiding over the Sierra Madre construction(The casino in question is canon,because of House commenting on it).Sorry if this came off as an adrenaline-filled rant coming from someone who played way too much New Vegas,but it does beg the question of why they brought him into the series to Begin with,and of why they wouldn't have put in someone like Dr Klein(real name unknown) in in place of him.That was all

Dead Money = The Pitt. Honest Hearts = Point Lookout. Old World Blue = Mothership Zeta. Lonesome Road = Broken Steel. Courier Stash = Operation Anchorage.

I did not factor Broken Steel nor GRA into any of this. If anyone has some they wish to point out or correct me on, feel free.

Operation Ancourage and Dead Money:

A lot of people hate this DLC. Have everything taken away during the main part of the DLC. New restrictions are placed on you in this new location. This new world is quite a site to behold. At the end you fight the main boss/talk him down and talk to the person whose been giving you orders this whole time. Also they both are Brotherhood related and has a Vault of goodies for you with some DLC only stuff.

The Pitt and Honest Hearts:

To get to the DLC you have to go north and meet up with someone contacting you via their radio call. He'll help you get to the location. This world is very different from the base game. The main leader of this new area was a major member of one of the main factions you can fight for in the base game. He has unique armor and a good voice actor. You have to make a major choice between two people and their wants and both have good and bad consequences. Good writing went into this DLC but it is sorta on the short side.

Point Lookout and Old World Blues:

To get to the DLC you must go to a south point on the map. This new region is dark and full of dangerous new enemies. Some of the most enjoyable humor and quests comes from this DLC. You end up at one point talking to a disembodied brain and surgery is done involving your brain. You can reunite with your brain near the end of the DLC. There is a twist on who the major villian/villians really are. There is a new player home for you to use.

Mothership Zeta and Lonesome Road

This DLC is hated by many. You have a character who unlocks things for you. The first person you meet in this DLC has previously worked for an evil faction. You see part of the world get destroyed by a large weapon. You can later destroy the part of the world if you choose to. The final quest has many waves of the main enemy of the DLC.

Some of these can be considered stretches and of course some depend on how you play. I've been curious about the similarities awhile, especially with the brains with the 3rd, vaults of the 1st and the 2nd being short. Point Lookout and Old World Blues are the most popular of the DLCs as well.

The Assassin - Nene

Combination of Samurai Warriors characters Nene and Magoichi.

7 ST 5 PE 5 EN 5 CH 3 IN 8 AG 7 LK

Melee weapons, sneak and lockpick with additional love for unarmed, science and repair. I'd say guns too but with her intelligence low it limits me somewhat so she's gonna enjoy the Ratslayer. House and Dead Money.

The Cowboy - Ash

Combination of The Man With No Name from the Dollars trilogy and Vash The Stampede from the manga/anime Trigun.

5 ST 7 PE 8 EN 3 CH 5 IN 7 AG 5 LK

Guns, survival and lockpick with minors being repair melee and barter. Unsure about speech and sneak, but he'll definitely be using the Cowboy perk and related weapons only. NCR and Honest Hearts.

The Mad Chemist - Hartwell

Comination of Dwight Schrute from the Office and Walter Hartwell White from Breaking Bad.

5 ST 3 PE 5 EN 7 CH 8 IN 5 AG 7 LK

Energy Weapons, medical and science with repair speech and explosives also beloved. He'll be using the Four Eyes perk so he'll be dependent on ED-E. Yes Man and Old World Blues.

The Mercenary of Mars - Maximus

Maximus from Gladiator and I'm unsure what else at the moment.

8 ST 5 PE 7 EN 5 CH 5 IN 7 AG 3 LK

Unarmed, survival and speech with some melee weapons, sneak and barter. I believe melee only as well as little crits along with the Heavy Handed Trait will be fun. Caesar's Legion and Lonesome Road.

I find myself very unsure about things, traits mainly as I'm trying to make them all use different ones. No Kamikaze or Wild Wasteland or Old World Blues ones tho.

Unlike myself, she is a D&D player and therefore loves how much more RPG and story focused the game is so far. We've barely left Goodsprings and she is still just so giddy for it all. This time we created our idea of our son for the main character. He basically is just The Weeknd with my blue eyes lol

After we play around and goof off doing stuff before the main story, I'll do what I asked about before, tying each main DLC to a endgame faction. After that a Hardcore mode and perhaps something else. I am capable of putting the PS3 saves on my PC and giving myself Reily's Ranger armor so I'm already planning on playing a run as Reily.

Wouldn't mind suggestions for builds and/or characters to play as.

I'm thinking of playing the game 4 times due to the issues with large saves which is even worse on my PS3. I had the idea of playing a single DLC per faction leader. I decided on the following but wish to hear your thoughts:

Yes Man - Dead Money

You can make the Brotherhood stronger, let alone keep them and Veronica on your side. Also the Holorifle sounds fun for a more technology based side.

NCR - Honest Hearts

Joshua Graham sees the NCR as the best choice, and since I don't plan on killing him, a Legion run with this DLC sounds silly. Also 45 pistols, survivalist rifle and the desert ranger outfit look good on the NCR side.

House - Old World Blues

Technology again is something more up House's alley, and clearly this DLC is the most high tech. Also 0 hating House would make this more hilarious to me in supporting him rather than killing him.

Caesar - Lonesome Road

Ulysses is/was a great member of Caesar's Legion and I always side with someone who isn't Legion when I play Lonesome Road so I wanna see the differences. Also... I wanna nuke the Legion BEFORE I get the Mark of Caesar so I can look the part in the 87th tribe's armor when I fight for them.

So, I just purchased 3 and NV both GOTY on impulse after I saw the Steam discount. I got some money for my school report so I did this highly uncharacteristic thing that is spending 18€ at once.

The question is, how do you make them run on Windows 10 without frequent crashing?

I’ve got the 4GB patch installed if it helps (thanks to Oblivion) and it improved how some of my older games run, does it work? I don’t mind playing with a lot of stability-improving mods (Oblivion again).

I also found these pages and I was hoping if anyone could tell me if those fixes work:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=149946772

https://steamcommunity.com/app/22370/discussions/0/541907675756259732/

I’m mostly talking about 3 for now as I’ll play it first.

Thank you for your help.

(Also, I got to retype three words in this because I’m too excited to type slowly.)

UPDATE: Sooo, yeah, I got Fallout 3 to work (kinda). It’s very much like Oblivion and after successfully downloading GFWLIVE through another modder’s files (because the official one had some error so rare that I didn’t bother reading anything on). Crashed two times in half an hour, then I edited the .ini file and the crashes (hopefully) stopped or at least will be less frequent. Wish me luck!

I was thinking about how Boone was sort of a NCR companion in Fallout NV so wouldn’t been cool if Obsidian added a companion who would be available if you decided to join the Legion?
