Meanwhile my lonely ass been sitting over here absolutely loathing Fallout: New Vegas since its release. I did not like that game. I probably would today if I got over myself and tried playing it again.

    Anyone who wants to play NV again/for the first time, check out Viva New Vegas, a modguide that makes the game actually playable and performant. There’s now a Wabbajack version, meaning you can get it perfectly modded with very little user input.

    I also recommend “Just Assorted Mods” if you want some modern QoL changes (sprinting, hit markers, weapon wheel, loot quickmenu, etc)

      Can you elaborate? How is the game not playable without mods?

        “Playable” is a spectrum. First there’s the usual compatibility problems that come with running an old game on modern PCs. Plus it’s a notoriously buggy game running on a notoriously buggy, engine with DX9 code that did not scale well on the CPU.

        With mods you get it to running flawlessly.
