I was really hyped about this game when it came out. But for many many reasons I wasn’t able to play it much.
Fallout 3 had its flaws but also fun parts. To my hardcore heart, it’s still a weak shadow of what once was Fallout 2, but even in this state it can be fun and enjoyable. A different experience for sure.
In such a complex world, even with the most dedicated game polishing team in the world inventive players would still find bugs. I remember patch lists in the first two games back in the days were huge. But migrating to 3D and a first person perspective brings a new fun and creepy side to ingame bugs. (Most of these are fixed in the latest patch by the way).
What stopped me abruptly the first time I tried New Vegas, the same as the original Fallout 3, was the inability to make a decently looking character. Either you create a male looking like a female, or a female with male looks, you just can’t get rid of the ugliness. And admittedly I’m not the luckiest person in the world, so it won’t matter if I randomize faces 100 or 1 million times.
But this time I am determined! I’ll get passed this with my newly found beauty pack and (maybe) nude pack addons. http://www.newvegasnexus.com is a great place to find and customize that Fallout install.
First, get the mod manager, so you don’t have to manually install stuff: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36901
Then through top downloads you can find Beauty Pack PLUS -Project Mikoto- Hair – Eyes – Presets and maybe BEWARE OF GIRL Type 3 HiRez HiDetailed Replacer (read nude patch).
Of course there are many more addons, just to tweak this game however you like. Hey, tell me if something catches your eye, okay?
