I went back to Fallout New Vegas today. I’m hoping to wrap it up before I start to miss the game and so I can move onto either FF 7 Remake or Alan Wake II. Unfortunately I caught something last night and I wasn’t in the mood to start Lonesome Road, so I went back and grabbed an achievement I missed in Old World blues and also to sell off some more of the gold.

Turns out I missed getting all the personalities for the Sink. So I went back and did that since I thought it would be easy. I ended up running out of ammo fighting scorpions though and was lazy and decided to just sprint past them and tank the shots. Somehow I didn’t die from it, and managed to grab the last 4-ish modules.

I also had to go by Higgs Village for one, and was creeped out by it more compared to last time. I think it’s because I slowed down to appreciate it. Anyways, I got the Toaster up and running and I have to say it’s my favorite of the personalities. I wish I had one irl. So I picked a screenshot I took of my conversation with it for today’s screenshot

I hope to tomorrow to get over what I caught and start lonesome road. If not I may just start it anyways though because I don’t want to put it off too long before I fall out of the mood for New Vegas.

    I’ve been playing through Fallout New Vegas for the first time. Got it modded to look modern too so that’s been a really nice touch. New Vegas Reloaded is a bitch to get running but so worth it.

    Fallout 3 was my very first Fallout and played it way back when it came out, then proceeded to skip new Vegas and played thru 4 back when that one released.

    All this time I was time I was like damn, 3 is my favorite only because of nostalgia and actually ran a quick play thru back in April when all the Fallout hype started because of the TV show.

    But I also bought New Vegas finally during this hype and am almost done with my first playthrough and wow I get why it’s considered the best Fallout game.

    The RPG elements are perfection, the stories are so interesting and gameplay is challenging but fair. I’m so glad I can now understand all the hype behind this game.

      4 was my first fallout. Got it passed down from a family member for the PS4, and played through the entire thing. Had maybe over 200 hours in it. Then I got a hand me down PS3 from the same family member with a copy of Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas. I’m disappointed though to say it took a few more years for it to stick to me as younger me was very stingy about the games he would play.

      I think New Vegas being made by the remains of Black Isle allowed it to pick up some cool ideas and also grow the old ideas involving the west coast lore, while carrying what Bethesda constructed from scratch with 3, at least that’s my personal opinion.

    Obligatory mention of Viva New Vegas modlist for someone that gets the itch to play for the first time. It makes the game run like a dream, and if you want to add some QoL there is a section for that too. Everything well explained and easy to install.
