Anything by Someguy2000. Mods that make the Strip one connected land area. And some other small things like making the Enclave armour look more like it used to etc.
Same here. Anything from Someguy but that maybe because my character is a loosely affiliated NCR bounty hunter and Legion and Slaver hunter and the storyline from his mods fit with my character as well as mods like Autumn Leaves, The Couriers Cache and The New Bison Steve Hotel & Lucky Casino. I guess its a matter of preference really. This why I love New Vegas. No two players have the same character or playstyle. Each characters story is different with each player. Fallout 4 on the other hand...:whatever:

His mods didn't even really gel with my last character but after playing one of this mods I got hooked and ended up playing them all.
 
I'm currently playing as a tough-as-old-boots prospector, who plans to strike it rich by finding some pre-war artefact. He's good at small time repairs and scavenging from being a mechanic's apprentice back before he went wandering. He's skilled in bartering to always get the best deal out the junk he finds, and he's used to staying out so he's also good at survival.

Fallout 4, I'm basically just a maniac who likes to shoot things.
 
How can history and facts, fictional or otherwise, be a fluid thing? Unless the writers flat out don't give shit?

Sorry, have you ever played Metal Gear? Kojima has left so many plotholes and unfinished rewrites that virtually every game in the series contradicts another entry.

As for what I actually consider Fallout canon

F1, F2, FNV and the F Bible are all canon

F3 and F4 are semi canon, as in, some elements and characters and locations and events are but a lot of stuff just doesn't fit.

Tactics and BoS are spin offs and not main canon

Obviously, I consider Fallout 1 & 2 to be canon. But, I pretend that the REAL fallout 3 was Fallout: New Vegas and to me, that's where the Fallout story has ended.

I also like to include the Someguy2000 mods (New Vegas Bounties 1-3, Russel, Better Angels, etc).

More like concerned daddy solider/mommy lawyer who becomes the wastelands greatest trash collector and is either a good guy or is a sarcastic good guy who constantly worries about their crouch fruit Shhaauuunn but can't be bothered to look for him because another settlement needs their help!:V

Or KILL, LOOT, RETURN mastermind.
 
Everything from Someguy2000. I really can't think of any others...
Autumn Leaves is really good. As are mods like The New Bison Steve Hotel & Lucky Casino, The Couriers Cache and Beyond Boulder Dome. The Frontier looks promising but I have to wait and see how that one turns out.

Got all those mods, they're great. I recommend the Bison Steve Hotel.

I'll add Courier's Cache and New Bison Steve Hotel to my little personal canon. But, as great as the others are (and they really are incredible) being a well-made quest mod doesn't always necessitate being included as canon/fanon. I get a little picky with that.
 
Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout New Vegas, some of Tactics and probably stuff from Van Buren. None of Fallout 3 or 4 is canon except for maybe the smallest details (mainly concerning the Enclave heading east).

Agreed, I mean quest mods like Project Brazil are great but I wouldn't accept it as canon.

100% agree.

The Frontier is one of those that will definitely be amazing. But, it could go either way in terms of lore consistency. I'm sure that the more finicky pedants here (no disrespect as I count myself among them) will be able to tell us which side of the canon it falls once it's released.

I'll be... uhhh testing it for canonicity.

To give Kojima credit, I think the whole point of the Metal Gear was to throw away canon and enjoy content (that's one of the messages I took from MGS2).
Yes, the writing is sloppy and all of the place at times and none of itt really makes sense, but at least with Metal Gear, it prided itself on just trying to tell a god story.
(Also, I think he wrote himself into a corner for MGS4).
