Thread 721151427

Why is there such little coverage on it? Outside of some videos of Josh Sawyers Twitch stream vods and a SINGLE playthrough by Many A True Nerd, there's pretty much no videos about it, covering it, or it's few but arguably better variations.

Why is that? I feel as if it's a really great "Director's Cut" and/or mod to rebalance the whole game and make it play closer to an actual RPG and the way Obsidian intended/wanted.

The mod is pretty much essential to me and always goes in my load order. Do you feel the same? If so, why? If not, why not?

>>721151427 (OP)
its not a flashy mod you can make clickbaity youtube videos on like things that add content or graphics
the original has been forked by like 4 or 5 different
even just hearing that it makes the game more difficult or lowers carry weight makes it persona non grata for a lot of people
and now a version of it exists in viva new vegas so a lot of people even now might be playing it without knowing they have it

>>721151596
I don't even know what the fuck this mod is about, but
>does not need to be good
for what purpose.......

Okay, what the fuck is wrong with you?

From wiki:
JSawyer is a personal modification for Fallout: New Vegas created by project director Joshua Sawyer, intended for those willing to experience a harder, more challenging game. It was first released on December 29, 2011. It also includes several technical fixes and tweaks (particularly to the Karma system), that were not included in previous patches. While it is considered unofficial by its creator, it does provide insight into the aims of the lead designer and contains planned tweaks that never made it into the final release or in official patches.

According to Sawyer, the mod consists mostly of changes he liked but was unsure if the Fallout 3 audience would like, and the team did not have time to "screw around" with such decisions.[1]

>>721151427 (OP)
JSawyer becomes a meme the second you pick Pack Rat and Long Haul.

>>721152054
>jsawyer and its derivatives
well it does other stuff, but a lot of it is autistic nitpicks that not everyone cares about
>change the weight of a bobby pin from 0.1 to .001
>change the karmic alignment of evil bob from evil to very evil
>this ammo type does 25 damage instead of 23
some of it is more obvious
>metal armor gains 50 DR
some of it is just a bugfix
>armor type is now correctly flagged for having a backpack which makes it play correct animations which avoid clipping

>>721151427 (OP)
Because it makes the Antifa propaganda message of Troonout Neo Vagina even worse but real chads know that the only mod for that game you need is the uninstall button and a copy of Chadout 3 GOTY edition the original PC disk release.

>>721151427 (OP)
Does Viva new Vegas+ has jswayer mod included?

>>721151427 (OP)
I tried it and didn't really like it that much, I seem to remember it made the thrist and hunger more aggressive unless that was just my imagination, but any game where I sleep for 12 hours and wake up nearly dying of thirst is bullshit. Normal hardcore mode is balanced just right desu.

>>721153221
It has a modern fork of it, yes. Lone Star

most modern forks have it so you can adjust it in the ini files
its not even a concern in hardcore mode frankly so long as you take aid items /at some point/

Clearly doesn’t exist he’s a scapegoat for Troon Vegays fags to use when anyone criticises their Antifa Propaganda game. The name is clearly fake as well you GUYS clearly took the name of the famous Italian director Sergio Martino and changed it a bit thinking people wouldn’t notice.

>According to Sawyer, the mod consists mostly of changes he liked but was unsure if the Fallout 3 audience would like, and the team did not have time to "screw around" with such decisions.
And, as it turns out, all those decisions made the gameplay much better. Of all the things I fear about an official New Vegas remaster, its that its gonna be the base game and not the Jsawyer mod. Scattering the dlc items across the wasteland to give a bunch of the otherwise useless locations some unique and reasons to visit was a brilliant move, as well as adding in cut content like the armored vault 21 jumpsuit.

You're just [really] late to the party,
and contemporary search algorithms are so shit that they might not be serving up what you're looking for.

>>721156882
Yes really. It halves ammo and aid items weight meaning you literally don't have to worry about inventory management. Long Haul lets you fast travel so you can put away useful loot before coming back to whatever you were doing.

>>721151427 (OP)
Its not covered exactly because it is so essential. It's in basically any good load order (or a fork of it, due to compatibility and performance issues). It'd be like heavily featuring the script extender

>>721156836
No it’s libshit propaganda because you go through the tedious death trap maze with more cheap deaths that Disposable Hero only to find that it’s all for a reward that the game actively tries you from taking because pushing the message that wealth acumination and capitalism is bad is more important than actually receiving proper rewards. Then to top it of soiers mod actually makes them worth literally nothing it is the “you will own nothing and be happy” ‘reward’.

>>721151427 (OP)
it's really fucking good, it makes the entire early and mid game much more engaging cause everything dies quicker but so do you. otherwise the entire game is a joke gameplay wise where everyone is a bullet sponge including you. the late game of jsawyer is still really easy but i found it more difficult to get a late game melee build working. also here are some of my mandatory mods that aren't included in vnv
>enhanced camera (extra immersion)
>fast v.a.t.s. and kill camera (or just use the better bullet time system and disable killcams)
>functional post game ending (fun to screw around after you're done with the game but not much more)
>titans of the new west (power armor feels powerful)
>advanced 3rd person camera (allows for multiple camera angles, including top view)
>3rd person aim fix (fixes 3rd person aiming lol)
>enhanced creatures (melee enemies are no longer a joke, can't backpedal everything to death anymore)
>conelrad 640 (best radio)
>modern night vision (immersive excuse to be able to see more than 2 inches away from your face at night)
>a world of (less) pain revised (more combat centric content) with sweet pain nv (bugfixes)
>more mojave dark side edition (more combat content again)
>vicious wastes combat ai (skip the main mod, improves ai behavior in fights to seek cover or rush you and stuff like that, i recommend increasing the weapon noise in jip too)
>pipboy holo panel espless (for power armor)
>thorins creature variants (randomly gives creatures effects, like venomous or hardscaled)
>survival integrated and dlc integration - espless (most recipes and dlc stuff i'd never bother with, so these being added in loot makes me use them at all)
>lucky 38 suite extra upgrades (simplest and best lucky 38 mod imo)
>focus - an ironsights overhaul (makes ironsights usable, you can zoom in with a button instead of it being forced. i disabled the ap drain)
>claim the mojave (gives you a reason to spend caps to expand your faction of choice)

>>721158324
i mostly only use 3rd person when a weapon's iron sights looks too much like shit to use in first person. the better solution might be to just disable iron sights completely to make every weapon usable in first person but that's kindof a lame solution, i haven't yet found a mod that fixes iron sights on some weapons

>>721158442
what's wrong with it? in fallout 1 and 2 power armor made you seem noticeably bigger than everyone else, to me it seems it was a limitation in fallout 3 to make power armor be worn like any normal armor.

>>721152945
italian excellence

>>721158526
not him, i think it just looks goofy
>it was a limitation in fallout 3 to make power armor be worn like any normal armor.
well it IS supposed to be worn like any old armor, for the most part. its why jsawyer removes power armor training, its not actually required. anyone can just suit up.

>>721158939
don't tell me you're implying that vanilla power armor doesn't look goofy. version on the left looks like a cosplay LMAO

>>721158939
JSawyer also adds a bonus for PA Training to effectively make PA weightless while you wear it because the idea you just put on something that adds a foot or more to your height and instantly adapt is silly

>>721157532

Mostly due to the trannies tryign to pretend it doesn't exist since it was literally made in desperation to 'fix' the broken as shit release
Sawyer eventually gave up when he realized just how complex the GECK actually is and relented to a few basic black bitch edits

yeah im the autist and not you, the tard chimping out because i dont like your bloatmax bara power armor mod lmao

>>721160353
Actually proved his point. Good job

With this mod, the deathclaws at the quarry outright kill you in one hit if you wear anything weaker than power armor, i guess it is fair the huge angry deathclaw mother sprinting at you will slice you in half in one swing

However, the one thing i do not like is nightstalkers, this becomes apparent if playing OWB with its regular packs of nightstalkers being very niggerlicious to deal with

>>721160441
the dude is seething because he read an opinion that went against his own opinion. he proved my point and no amount of samefagging will change that

>>721160679
No, he didn't. He explained his point very calmly. Then you accused him of saying something he never did because you're a presumptuous fucktard. Now you're acting like an autist, as per his fortelling. Again, good job

>>721159725
What kind of retarded historical revisionism is this? Sawyer made it in his own time by himself after all the patches they were allowed by Bethesda to make came out. It doesn't even try to "fix" anything, it's not a bug patch. It's a mod.

>>721161016
>telling you you're putting words in his mouth
that's the point, i wasn't. his opinion was that the mod's power armor looked goofy, IMPLYING that vanilla's power armor didn't look goofy. i gave my opinion that went contrary to that. if you're actually so retarded as to deny the existence of IMPLICATIONS, and that things you say can IMPLY other things that you didn't literally say, then you are an unsalvageable socially inept turbo autist.

>>721161101

>>721161970
And the guy keeps making the armor wider with every update.

>>721159614
LMAO I did but you’re ignoring the fact that
A.) The Soier mod being discussed makes them valueless to enforce it’s libshit message
B.) The Devs want to force the anti-wealth acclimation message aka you vill own nothing and be happy.
C.) It’s message is all about letting go like most of the DLCs aka purge the past and embrace the hecking golbohomo future

>>721161970
Vanilla number one. With his actual hands, he can play the guitar, hold hands with his gf, smoke a cigarette, operate weapons not specifically designed for robot hands etc. Plus, not having giant metal feet under your real ones must make moving around on unlevel ground a hell of a lot easier.

>>721161970
yep, fallout 4's version was good in the sense that it was bigger and made you feel the weight and power of wearing POWER armor, but it looked off because the shoulders were too close to the head. titans of the new west fixes that, while vanilla fallout 3's """""""power""""""" armor is just that, armor. doesn't make you feel powerful at all. that's my constructive opinion, take it or seethe it.

>>721159656
But you literally shittalked one of the mods he mentioned, you sperg. If you really didn't care, you wouldn't be crying.

Don't care.

is joshua sawyer jewish?

either way i completely forgot this mod existed and havent played new vegas in 10 years now. might finally play it. thanks

>>721152515
Am I just weird for really liking Dead Money? Or are all the images shitting on it just propaganda that it was bad? Like sure, the final confrontation is hit or miss if you feel catharsis for locking the BoS guy in the vault, and having to fail a speech check for Dean to not turn on you is weird, but having to survive an environment constantly draining your health, finding the speakers or radio trying to blow you up while barely scrapping by with whatever you can find was fun.

>>721163598
>am I weird for liking the best FNV dlc

I'm pretty sure a few of these are in VNV but good list, will check some of these out

give me an idea for a perk pl0x

>>721158526
Looks like barafag shit

>>721164275
radiation no longer harms or kills you, but everyone becomes hostile to you when at high radiation

>>721164348
come to think of it you have a point, a better mod would unironically be one that hyper-sexualizes power armor to make it look like pic rel. if that mod existed i'd drop titans of the new west in a heartbeat

>>721164381
i could prolly make that. uncap radiation resistance and cap radiation gain to around 800-900 so you don't die.
making everyone hostile would completely fuck up the game tho i think? i haven't tried t hat before. maybe i could make it so the player gives off some kind of radiation/poison aura that hurts ppl nearby causing them to become hostile. or dumpster your reputation with major factions?

>>721164759
a radiation aura sounds good. i haven't seen a single mod that helps you do a run where you kill everyone. maybe also add an option for enemies to have a higher critical hit chance against you, to balance the synergies you can have with other radiation-related perks

>>721153339
Oh cool, this actually looks like a modern conversion rather than what JSawyer Ultimate Edition was doing. Is it any good?

>>721162207
2.0 looks good why did he do that it literally just looks stretched.

>>721165271
Yeah it's fine. I've used so many of them at this point, I can barely keep up with all the minute differences. But like you said it's actually a pretty faithful recreation of it rather than just using his name for clout like JSUE.

I want to like the mod, it does a lot right. But it also gets so much wrong, I think I'd rather play vanilla.

nice reddit. also its part of everyones modlist so,

>>721165910
>just using his name for clout like JSUE
I don't understand why JSUE gets recommended at all when the game's own fucking director doesn't agree with the changes it makes.

>>721151427 (OP)
>JSawyer mod
hasn't this been fistfucked into a bunch of other modpacks since the beginning of time?

>>721151427 (OP)
>Why is there such little coverage on it?
Because it's not a flashy mod where you can flex obvious changes. The changes are in description and there are too many to show off.
I honestly only play with JSUE because base game doesn't feel the same anymore and JSawyer forks basically change/fix lots of things in single package rather than making you download bunch of mods separately. For example, Armor Repair Kits are game changer because I don't need to be jewed by NPCs anymore, or stimpaks getting nerfed makes things more interesting because now I'll use food for healing more often.
>>721151596
It sounds like a turn off on first sight, until you learn that JSawyer and its' forks are entirely modular and you can adjust things to your desires.
Carry weight limit and level cap can be readjusted to vanilla values, for example. I've done several playthroughs with JSUE and Lone Star, put level cap back to 50 and base carry weight 100+STR amount times 10, and it was all good.

>>721151427 (OP)
i honestly can't tell what it does in the game, it feels like nothing's changed
