So, recommend me some Fallout 3/New Vegas mods.

Note: I don’t want to make the games harder, I don’t want to destroy my frame rate, and I do like my surroundings just a little less dead and desolate. With all that in mind: suggestions welcome. Fallout 3‘s habit of long distances between fast-travel points is particularly annoying, as is the pre-4 version of VATS.  But I gather that I’m not the first to say those things.

Hey, there’s a Bethesda sale going on over at Steam.

40% off a bunch of titles, including Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.  I’ve been meaning to grab both, so: cool. The sale’s also happening on Amazon, so feel free to click those links. Also: if you haven’t grabbed Skyrim yet, twenty-five bucks for the whole shebang is frankly a steal.

First look at Fallout: Vault-Tec Workshop on Tuesday.

I might actually watch this, because I’m curious about whether this is going to get integrated into the main Fallout game.  Also, where it’s going to get integrated.  There are a couple of places on the map where it’d be useful to have a settlement, particularly if you’re playing Survival Mode which I have no intention of doing any time soon.  I find that waiting to buy combat damage upgrades is giving me all the workout that I need, really… Continue reading First look at Fallout: Vault-Tec Workshop on Tuesday.

…At some point, I might actually get to play Fallout 4.

I’ve just not had any time to do so. Which is weird, because I’ll be blessed if I can figure out what I did today that was more involved than going out to lunch with my wife.  Now, admittedly, if I have a choice between a nice lunch with my wife and playing a videogame, I’m going to go with lunch – but we weren’t out for that long.

Again, weird. Continue reading …At some point, I might actually get to play Fallout 4.

Fallout 4 gameplay stuff; I might pick this one up after all.

Via Nodwick: OK, I have to admit it. This is kind of making me want to go get Fallout 4.

Not that I have any reason not to get Fallout 4; only, I never got into the first three and there’s a learning curve there on the game world. I had a similar problem with Skyrim: I really needed to be WOWed into buying that game.  This might bring the WOW.

PS: XCOM 2 is also coming out at the end of the year!  Don’t need a WOW for that one.
