Quick Questions XVI: Answer Time Lore

i think my time playing western rpgs might have just been a phase. i did really enjoy fallouts 3, new vegas, and even 4, but trying to play them a few years later was awful. furthermore, it’s pretty clear that yakuza does most of what’s good about the genre (and western aaa games in general) but so much better.

and there are still plenty of yakuzas i haven’t even played yet

There are, thanks to the efforts of absolute sicko east euro modders. You can make the game feel like shitty STALKER instead of like a bethesda game. Will give you a modlist soon

you can finally make it so the character moves diagonally and has animations for it and this helps a little bit with the ice skating feel, theres inertia you can add to walking and guns which “makes it like Tarkov”, but its like amazing how you need 12 mods to do this shit and it still looks awful to play. The tacticool weapon animations help…I guess…but the game still has a problem where if you shoot shotguns too fast they play an animation but dont fire like theyre empty. also if your guy holds your pistol at an angle in the center of the screen its using cod mw animations which are so fucking ugly and people put them in EVERY GAME NOW so avoid those!

new vegas sucks, i did a 100% run of it to get all the achievements a few years ago and i’m so glad i never have to play it again. even with hitman’s animations which were the hot weapon anims at the time calling it anything like “shitty stalker” is an insult to the real thing

first off, follow this guide at least to the end of the Base Finish step:

the utilities and bugfixes are essential, the user interface mods are highly recommended

sprinting is the most useful addition here but the other features this provides are still useful and relevant

allows you to switch between semi-auto, burst, and full-auto for any weapons where it makes sense

leaning!

all the animation mods I use, I play in first person only so I don’t use the 360 movement mod but there’s a patch linked in that 3rd person movement animations overhaul

install this last


optional disgusting gun pervert shit, I haven’t actually played with this, it’s just so over the top

there have been a lot of patches since you played, though. The shotgun bug you describe doesn’t exist anymore

I played witcher 2 with an “enhanced combat mod” except it took out blocking, which wasn’t a problem until the part where you have to fight as some other character who doesn’t have magic just a shield you now can’t use and he dies in one hit

it really is a simply unreasonable amount of effort for what you get

Okay the guide says this requires all the DLC? Is that actually true? I can’t afford to buy anything like that right now, and I especially don’t want to when I’m not sold on the base game.

A lot of mods have assumed you’ve had the DLC for years yeah

4 Likes

yeah, all dlc is generally required for modern mods just because of how bethesda combines patches and dlc together in really gnarly ways

If you need help acquiring them I’ll DM you

has any one ever tracked/looked into the vague anti-korean theming of mario bros.?
Bowser/koopa turtle ships, miyamoto originally insisting on naming all enemies after korean dishes, interview w/ masayuki uemura saying " Super Mario Bros. isn’t set in Japan, but the character’s Japanese. The name Mario sounds Italian, but he isn’t Italian…" etc.?
I google it every once in a while but find reddit posts & tweets but maybe someone’s actually thought about this for more than a meme or put questions to someone in a hard 2 google and/or non-english form?
