XRE Cars just came out. I can't wait to be able to give it a try, especially considering that it's powered by explosions.

Then why are so many weapons considered unfriendly to lore?

I think the idea is that some weapons, existing in our world, could exist in Fallout universe too, it's perfectly ok. I don't buy the 1950s restriction (it's not like plasma rifles existed in 1950). But if you give every weapon a name from our universe, then it becomes too much. It's not like a single weapon could be "not lore friendly" - it's an amount of named weapons from real life that could break the lore.
 
I wouldn't exactly call it "Breaking the lore" but more a breaking of buzzwordy 'immersion'. You run around with too many real world/call of duty guns (or guns that remind you of these things) it drags you out of Fallout.
 
Well, Fallout takes place in a different universe that diverged from our universe sometime around the 40's.
I think that the more modern the weapon in our universe is the smaller the probability that it would be invented exactly like that in the Fallout universe.
 
Yeah, but a surprsing number of 'modern' guns were in development as far back as the 60's and 70's, and maybe even earlier.

The FN FAL was in development as far back as the forties, though it was originally intended to fire an intermediate cartridge (originally 7.92x33 kurz, then the british .280), then, in the early 50's, iirc, this was changed to 7.62x51 NATO because America wanted that.

Like I mentioned before, I'd love to see what it would be like if America never really pushed for 7.62x51 and instead adopted the .280 Enfield. see how that changed the development of firearms into the future.
 
Wow this story is really awesome. Duke kinda fits in Fallout universe.

But where did u get that DN Forever Duke character model!? It looks awesome in New Vegas!
 
{Removed AWOP to increase stability. Running like a champ now. Here we go...} It's in the Dragbody armor pack.
 
Very nice stuff, like ed-e's lil comments there...I haven't tried out willow yet , she seems a very involved companion though. Oh and I think it was you who gave me the heads up for the pipboy 2500? Anyways if it was thanks, it has none of the problems I experienced with the readius which turned me off pipboy replacers before.

I believe it was, although someone else mentioned it as well. Thanks for the kind words. Expect ED-E to be like that the whole time. Willow is okay, if not a bit childish..until she gets naked at least. :)

You should be ashamed for passing on the opportunity to talk to No Bark. Ashamed.

Heh. I considered it. There are still tons of quests around that area for me to do, so it's not out yet. Duke will travel back and forth a bit, if not only for me to do every single thing imaginable...

The Repconn site with all the ghouls is right in that area. Duke will be looking for areas of interest to try and find a way back home. Inevitably, he will talk to many of the major NPC's to find out certain info. No Bark should give him some info about that area when he passes back through, so no worries on that one. Mainly I was trying to get to Vegas ASAP, so I can have a spot to leave certain NPC's, a better place to leave gear, and a better gun shop.

You might not know this, but having 4 companions with you increases your chance of crashes, so that was my main concern. You can't tell Boone and ED-E to go to Vault 66 where my first home was, so I figured I might as well get to Vegas to show off the new suite I added with BoE, so I can leave my pals there if needed. More than two companions makes the game a cakewalk anyway. I hate that. So yes Duke has been skipping a lot of content, but most of it will be returned to. I'm also trying to give Duke a decent reason to do things, instead of the Courier plot line. Even House will acknowledge this in the dialog. FYI, I considered actually editing the in game dialog for Duke, but it is a lot of work, and the LP will be long enough as is without that.

Realistically, I see Duke nearly wrapping things up at OWB, but that may change if I add more mod quests.
 
Yeah, I know what extra companions do to the game. In fact, generally adding more stuff makes the game happier and readier to crash. Oh, gamebyro.
 
Boone as Captain America :lol:

I am feeling the itch to make an LP of my own, with Blackjack and Hookers. A LP with Black Dynamite. That's if I find a good Afro hairstyle mod.

NO! NO COMPETITION! MY LP WILL HAVE BLACKJACK AND HOOKERS DAMN IT! :lol:
 
{I'm open to suggestions on this folks. Want to see something happen? Want me to handle a particular quest a certain way? Let me know!}

Clean QUarry Junction to also get the Deathclw Egg from the Deathclaw Commander Mod.

You and your damn Deathlcaw. :lol:


Okay it's on my to-do list. I'll need to get a bunch of bullets and a better gun for that.
 
Might be a little late to install it now and I still have no idea how stable it is (pretty new mod) but you might go for XRE Cars for extra craziness. I guess the suggestion has already been made, but I'm seeing no reply from Toront so I'll be *that* annoying guy.

Also, my only comment to the LP would be this.
