Which NPC (vanilla) has the best appearance with no mods?

do dlc count cos if they do it's probably ulysess in new vegas because he had a custom face, much more detail than all the potato face NCR soldiers etc.

@"Kaiser Atlas" yeah, dlcs count, just no mods.

I thought Arcade Gannon looked pretty decent for vanilla. Benny too, even kinda looks like Matthew Perry a little bit.

Still would never play the game without FCO or Redesigned though lol, most vanilla faces are just too hideous to look at.

1. Arcade
2. Vulpes
3. Hanlon
4. Swank
5. Benny

But like @Chinpoko117 i recommend FCO; Redesigned or On Holy Bound NPC's

@"Chinpoko117" I don't use FCO only cause the eyebrow options mess with custom races

@Gap Personally I use Redesigned alongside Dragbody's faction overhaul mods. Good combos that do NPCs through-out the game justice.

That's going to be hard since all the vanilla face textures look like potatoes. I think Ulysses has the best since the face you see isn't his vanilla texture, it's actually more or less a mask and underneath is his vanilla face. The mask has a better texture and is more detailed than vanilla faces, that's why his face isn't animated. If you have the GECK, check him and you'll see what he really looks like.

Red Lucy, Sarah Weintraub and Cass look pretty good for vanilla. At least she doesn't look like the Oblivion NPCs *shudder*. I will also say that both Father and James look pretty realistic, although that might have to do with how they are determinant on your character's appearance too.

As everybody else said too, Ulysses looks pretty realistic for a vanilla NPC, and I'm also going to say Ashur from the Pitt does too.

@Corvo

I think Ulysses head mesh are not vanilla, just a 3D used tech.

I would call it vanilla since it's apart of the original game.

I would say Cass, always liked cass. Arcade didn't look so bad either along with benny and sunny smiles. Ulyesses was great too but, Cass out of them all i felt was the best looking.

Farenheit looks good in FO4. In FO3 the woman in the bar who asks her brother who is with the vampires. She had a pretty face in the light and shadows of the bar. Bittercup and Veronica were cute. Christine from Dead Money really looked great despite her being bald. Elder Lyons looked pretty badass.

Cass and Sunny Smiles from NV were pretty nice.

Col. Boyd in Camp McCarran

Hmm let me think. Ulysses has already been discussed and Joshua Graham had.. well, you know. The Lone Wanderer's father was decent looking( in part due to Liam Neeson). Cass was pretty good looking along with Arcade Gannon. The one character that I have always had a certain affinity towards was Colonel Augustus Autumn of the East Coast Enclave. His overall presence was just amazing. He had the whole hardass, military type thing going on. Even with all that, his perfect blonde hair never faltered... until you blast his head off at the FO3's climax lol.

Definitely Cass, she was the only character that felt Fallout 3 render material, New Vegas NPCs seem to really loom ugly.

I vote Curie and Ranger Ghost, I guess I have a thing for short hair, huh. And that one member of the Think Tank who had a thing for teddy bears...

Cass and Benny is the best imo.

Aurelius of Phoenix and Ranger Ghost i think.
