| Me making up my own character and lore for him, once i use the best mods i feel like i am in my own world.
I use my own Overhauls and mods and the game feels like its brand new. _________________ - Steam:

| As already mentioned @VeteranAlpha unusual and fresh atmosphere in every game fallout can be maintained by appropriate selection of mods depending on individual preferences. For example, I am a fan of futurism and in this climate assorted mods for fallout. extremely important for games such as Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas is a refreshing graphics, ENB and retextures is the basis for these games, because they are old titles and let's face it, even on the day of its premier games are not delighted graphics even for those times. I hope this post helped. _________________ |

| Generally I just find whatever mods I can that I haven't played with much, and do a new playthrough using those mods.
I also just choose my own lore or play style, like charismatic, nasty and what not _________________ Writer on the Fallout Intensive Project, which aims to bring the Fallout story to the UK.Bug Tester, Interior Creator, Designer and Decorator on the Frontier Mod |

| Mods do alot of service in providing variety and excitement in gameplay. New Vegas Bounties revived my intrigue and respect for mods and the lore they can provide so I say that's a must. _________________ "Ante up."

| I can't stand re-playing a game over and over, so for me it's the little mods that I can add and find in the world after I've already beaten the game and become high level. New weapons / armors / items / food / etc. can go along way, especially when they're integrated into lists so you find them naturally in the world.
I've also been RP'ing the actual weather for the season, so for example when it was Nov-Feb in my game I used a winter overhaul. It's April now and I've changed it all to spring and myself and companions are wearing season-appropriate clothes. |

| Mostly its the quest mods for me esp those that are integrated with the lore or existing quests, those NPC Overhauls like the FNV Redesigned, new enemies and places, all in all mods kept the game fresh. I'll maybe make another FNV playthrough from the start in prep to drags NCR Overhaul and The Frontier! _________________ TO CONQUER FEAR, YOU MUST BECOME FEAR... |

| Its mostly mods that keep me playing fallout cause there will always be a great diversity in the mods you can get and they always add something new to the game for me to do. Especially mods off here. |

| For me it's the role-playing aspect where I plan ahead to create different builds. For instance, right now I'm doing a cowboy build where I only use cowboy guns such as Lucky and the Medicine Stick and focused heavily on guns and explosives. But at the same time, never put in any skill points into things like science and didn't make my intelligence very high. Right now i'm like level 44 but my science and energy weapons skills are at the bare minimum. Handicapping yourself in a way means that you can't complete quests the same way you would do if you had an overpowered character with 100 points in all the major skills. I already have an idea for my next playthrough, high intelligence, low strength/endurance with an emphasis on energy weapons. |

That is a very good reason, tbh, i was also thinking about writing that, looks like you beat me to it. I was thinking about doing a full Caesars Legion playthrough. I never really liked the Legion, but the great thing about Fallout is the fact that you can always play a bad guy. Unlike Fallout 4, the old games always have that possibility, especially Fallout New Vegas. Ave True To Caesar!

| Give Project Brazil part one a go, you gain two of four character traits based on your stats that heavily affect the story and it's entirely it's own map and story too.
But normally I just add my own challenge to it like being hostile with as many factions as I possibly can. _________________

| Taking extremely long breaks to play other games, spending an immense amount of time inside of the GECK working on various conversion based mods to change the game as a whole or making ported guns for said conversions.
Mostly gotta say the GECK part though. I love working on my various conversions of the game as when you play you get satisfaction and a whole new game in terms of roleplayability. _________________ - Quotes:

| Nothing at the moment. Its pretty depressing, I forced myself to play fallout 4 and have about 150 hours in, half of it was troubleshooting mods granted but I really didn't enjoy any of my time spent. I don't get the special feeling of booting up a bethesda game with this title. I enjoyed assassins creed unity more than this, legitimately, ACU was actually a good game imo. But seriously this isn't even near the top of my favorite games. |

| For some reason I enjoy making my Fallout games harder then is even remotely necessary and it usually takes me a long time to even play though... hell to be honest... I have never beaten a single modded play though of mine, I always end up finding a new mod......or a few.... that I really like and end up restarting my game, so it constantly changes every time I play it. And it helps that I also do as @"thegreataimbottio" mentioned and role play a specific way with each new play though. |
