Hey, so yeah.. I've just joined the GUN and figured it'd be polite to introduce myself. I'm a big fan of the classic Fallout games and of course NV, so it's great to come across a site which is putting out new content for NV. I'm sorry, I'm rubbish at these things aha. But yeah I'm really glad to be here and its great to meet you all

Glad to make your acquaintance, trust me, most of us here are super nice and friendly, may you have a great time on the site and make a ton of new friends.
And always remember "come for the mods, stay for the community"

Hi! @nocthesis Glad to have you join us at GUN! It's great to meet you and I can't wait to get to know you more as we see each other around the forums!

I hope you have an awesome time here and make a ton of new friends!

N'aw thanks guys for the lovely welcome. I was honestly kinda scared, because you never really know what the atmosphere is going to be like in a particular, but I feel much better now. Thanks

Just a quick question btw, I've got a question I'd like to ask about modding, but it says new users don't have permission to post in the modding section - would it be acceptable to ask in the main Fallout section?

Heres a good spot to ask(Troubleshooting): http://prntscr.com/esxvsx

Welcome to the forums

EDIT: This smiley face is animated. Life complete

@nocthesis Hey hey hey and welcome to the site and I hope you enjoy your time here.

I hope I don't get told off for asking this but is it ok if I ask how long it is on average for a user to be able to access GUN private mods? I know this sounds a bit rude, as if I've just came to get the mods and disappear (which I imagine does happen), but I'm just trying to put a list together for my next playthrough :v i'm sorry this sounds really bad lol

most people have that thinking when they come in, I'll tell you now that if your an active member, fully commit yourself to the forum by posting when you can, whether that be sharing cool screenshots, adding your favorite tune to our "share a tune 10!" topic, or just sharing your opinion in debates across the site, you could easily be a colonial by may.

but like I said most people have that thinking, and thats why we say, "come for the mods, stay for the community", because after you have been promoted the friends you've made here on the site and the general vibe is just as important to you than your newly obtained mods.

Glad to see I'm not the only one that prefers the classics and NV. Seeing so much Fallout 3/4 praise can get disheartening after awhile.

Welcome aboard!

@"JJHughes" Yeah I figured a lot of people would have that line of thinking. I was kinda unsure whether to ask, because it gives the wrong impression, but I'm curious if anything. I honestly don't think it's a bad system really, and I've already seen how nice you folks are so I'll sure try and stick around

@"cyber_funk" I kinda see the Obsidian/Interplay games as being a different franchise to the Bethesda games. I mean they share similar motifs (vaults, pipboy, mutants..etc), but the gamplay just feels fundamentally different. I mean I do enjoy the Bethesda games (I'm on my 2nd play through of 3 and I have 170hrs on 4), and I have nothing against people who enjoy them more then the Interplay games, but I just don't love them in the same respect. I'm playing through Fallout 2 right now, and it feels like a total contrast to 3/4.

EDIT: oo I meant to ask is there a live chat or a discord or anything like that?

Never played fallout 1 or 2 myself. I see people make similarities with NV and 1/2 a lot. Why is that?

Welcome, @nocthesis! Yeah, First Fallouts was a great games. Nice to meet you and enjoy your stay here!

@"EmiliaTan" I think 2 in particular feels very much like New Vegas. Once you've played it, you immediately feel the resemblance Obsidian were going for in New Vegas - whether it be in reintroduced items or just the scope of decision making. I almost feel like in 2 you have too much control over choices - case in point, I pursued a sarcastic line of dialogue with the leader of Vault City and accidentally made the entire city hostile, (I hadn't saved in ages either). It's kind of intimidating how much effect your dialogue choices have. I think probably the biggest similarity for me though would have to be the many unobvious and obscure ways of solving quests, although this can also be a pain given the classic's very dated gameplay (with every character virtually looking the same, making it a nightmare to find people lol).

Welcome abord, this i can say that is the house of the godsend mods for NV, enjoy your stay

I welcome you in the hope that your stay will be pleasant.

Hello there and welcome!

Hope you'll enjoy your time here!

See you around the forum

Hey man! Just joined myself Nice to see new faces joining along with me! Hope to see you around and am looking forward to seeing where this takes the two of us!

New Vegas was developed be the a team made up mostly of the original devs that made the first two. It retains the original feel and atmosphere of the originals while translating many of the old school CRPG mechanics from the originals into a first person game. These things were completely lost in the development of Fallout 3 and 4 and as a result barely resemble the rest of the franchise. This is why many fans of the original consider NV to be the true sequel to Fallout 2.

New Vegas...

Welcome to GUN. Enjoy your stay.
