Powder gangers for me are an example of "If it aint broken, dont fix it. I actually really like their style. They wear retro-prison uniforms. Bright Orange wasnt a prison uniform style common till the 70s. And since they are clearly post-great war, made by the NCR, I dont think they would break the bank but instead make rather cost efficent prison jumpsuits out of cotton, with cheap dyes.
@@user-mu5js6qn4qObsidian clearly follows the divergence idea, lol. Look at the NCR's outfits, they're hardly modern. Trenchcoats, pith-styled helmets, P1903-inspired bandoliers, etc. Look at how everyone in New Vegas dresses. The Powder Ganger outfits fit with the aesthetic of New Vegas
@@jonger2408 NCR have such crappy uniforms because this is the only type of uniform that they are able to produce en masse, not because they want to larp some old-ahh times. Fallout world is constantly evolving even if bethesda wants you to believe that it's not. You can trace it since the very first game. In first fallout trade is quite evolved already: caravans even go to underdeveloped shitholes like necropolis but ncr is just on roadside of all trade because of its inconvenient placement behind huge mountain range and status of very young settlement that still struggles for survival. In fallout 2 ncr becomes a powerful and influential city-state with army and law enforcement and it participates in a nasty struggle for influence over redding's mines against New Reno crime families and zealous vault city that quickly got on its feet by use of slave labour provided by slavers guild in The Den. And by events of New Vegas NCR controls all lands of modern California with some of nevada including mentioned New Reno, Vault city and of course Redding. This is how NCR evolved from primitive village to a powerful state and serves as great example how world of true fallout is evolving and don't just stand on one place. Also there is a plethora of modern equipment in this setting like marksman carbine in New Vegas or P90 in Fallout 2 and it all easily produced by gunrunners that existed since fallout 1 and grown to be NCR's defense contractor in New Vegas.
Honestly I don't think powder gangers should get orange jumpsuits. The Fallout universe has a consistent design choice of 50s retro-futurism and prisoners usually wore blue in the 50s.
For anyone new to modding The Inheritance is part of The Someguy series of mods which includes New Vegas Bounties. They are all pretty good and (mostly) feel like organic additions to the base game. Aside from the inheritance adding more Fiend stuff another mod adds a new companion named Russel who's a former Legion slave. This gives more insight into the Legion. Only downside with these mods is they don't really work as a Legion player and involves a fair amount of NCR interaction.
@@duffinthemuffin5792How original. Did you also make a wholesome 100 steath sniper wearing elite riot gear and saw cuck hentai while making your character? Truly a creative and open minded genius.
@@FloofMotherthe first bounties mod ? Kinda ? Too much of fallout 4 radiant quest design but both NV bounties 2 and 3 Def fit into a mid-late game ncr playthrough though the NV bounty 3 ending and world space addition is trash
Pro tip: The only way you can save Sean Bradley in "The Inheritance" is by having The Someguy Series REVAMPED installed. Otherwise, there's no option to have him fake his death.
Lmao I just finished testing that mod and found this comment. Its great for what it is, the actual part of saving Bradley works flawlessly, but trying to regroup afterwards is really buggy. Not a dealbreaker, but something to keep in mind if you're interested.
In Fallout New Caifornia, they have a pretty unique take on the Vipers with new armors and weapons, i dont think they are placed around the Mojave though.
If they are in bone armours, have venom tipped weapons and still worshipping snakes - vipers, then it's lore friendly. If they have some kind of shaman leader,then that's lore friendly too. The bone armour mod is pretty much exactly how Vipers should of looked in first place. Technically , not having them as bone armour wearing tribals was not lore friendly at all, mod should be been made official part of game by now I think.
Gotta love how NV had 18 months to develop and tho lacking more lore, *still* made different raider gangs. Also, I'm curious if you'd do an overhaul video for Fallout 4 raiders. Great video as always.
@@Thesavagesouls watering down Khan's in N.V you mean? If you attack them ,they will swarm and nail you.If you want to be a chems mule for Jack and Diane, then that's helping Khans out big time, and bringing in the caps for the tribe. If you don't attack and want to talk to Regis and Papa Khan reasonabley they wont attack. Seems like a real life gang yeah?
Sure but they're just a bunch of cannon fodder with randomized common outfits and weapons. The Fiends are the only ones that have any actual character to them in the game.
Another mod for the power gangers is this massive quest mod named Working on the Chain Gang. It creates a new faction of reformist powder gangers and actually gives non evil characters a reason to go into NCRCF and do quests for Eddie. (To check and see if there are anything that Eddie is paranoid about to compromise his position) and the guy who gives you the quest pays you a lot. They have headquarters in Westside and their leader, Ellis, is a pretty well written character, and voice acted. There's also a guy named Lyle who's a Napoleon Dynamite reference.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but helping Eddie doesn't actually lose you any karma. If anything powder gangers are good starter faction for anti NCR roleplay characters... And definitely evil characters too can't deny that. Nothing like blowing stuff up!
I loved that one, the mole rat ranch quest the mod adds is pretty unique, and I loved meeting TNT Timbo, he’s got to be my most favorite NPC I’ve ever met in a mod. Also the Wild Wasteland opportunities are pretty mild, but there’s one in particular that really stuck with me because of its’ absurdity.
The game was made in less time than most Triple A titles today, and it still got a near perfect score with massive replay potential. Something these new titles should take into consideration.
When it comes to Fiends, I also recall a mod which would give fiends more weapons like flamers and other higher level firearms, and gave them modified jumpsuits to show the spoil they get from Slaughtering vault 3 Edit: ok so I was using small mods merge which actually used twi diffrent mods for fiends "Fucking Scary Fiends" is the one for weapons, besides giving them better weapons it will also give them permanent status effects from drugs, and give driver nephi and Motor-runner better armor "Fiends with Style" together with its fixed version is the one responsible for new armour, that doesn't look far from vanilla armor while making fiends unique I also found "Expanded Mojave - Nephi's Complex" which overhauls Driver Nephi Hideout. Keep in mind that it only changes the location, and in contrast to "Cook-Cook in his castle" it won't touch Driver Nephi and encounter with him. Lastly there's "Harder Three card bounty" which will simply make all fiends warlords stronger, making the quest fells like you actually fight with hardened psychos
You always manage to pick out the mods that sound perfect for a more interesting, lorefriendly playthrough. If you haven't said anything about it, how about making a Collection on Nexus or a Wabajack Load Order? Would love to play some mix of your Classic, Combat, Roleplaying, Remaster videos.
Tbf the Great Khans are supposed to be a migratory tribe so them living in pre-existing structures and trailers seems more lore accurate than adobe houses. Although that being said it is surprising how there aren’t many adobe houses everywhere in general for the game for regular more permanent residence in the game.
Also gotta toss in "Burn - Hardcore Fire effects" to go along with Cook Cook as a personal recommendation. Makes him (and anyone with a flamer) an absolute monster to fight.
I just got back into fallout 4 because I just found out about collections. I really like that you include the bugs you find with these mods. It REALLY helps with someone returning to play fallout 4
Its todd howard we are talking about, He is a jealous petty closet case who hates anyone making a better game then him, It has been proven, Look at how he screwed obsidian
Chances are they would only do that if they could charge people full price or break the original game for people especially all the nv mods like they did with that fallout 4 next gen update (what a nightmare)
I haven't beaten fnv yet but watching your videos is making me drool of the experience i could've experienced using mods but i must resist because i need to experience fnv vanilla first because of some inner moral-virtues-something-vanilla-loving-thinking kind of thing
The Powder Gangers Overhaul makes them look like the Rikers from the Division. That makes sense they’re both a rebel faction made up of mass escaped convicts.
Another mod to offer variety to the Powder Gangers is Working on the Chain Gang. Love how it offered a different route for the faction to actually reform and become a part of the Mojave in a non destructive way.
All around top notch mods here, perfect combination with the Mojave Raiders mod for my favourite activity in FNV: killing raiders lol. The bone armor mods you gotta install for the Venomous Vipers, as well as the B42 bow and retrievable throwables... just what I was looking for the perfect tribal warrior playthrough I was trying to do with my unarmed/medicine stick tribal. Thanks a lot for this vid!
I also like the mod "F*cking Scary Fiends," which changes the Fiends' leveled lists so they use scarier weapons like rippers, chainsaws, flamers, sawed off shotguns, etc. It does also add a buff to them though that gives them the same effect as being on every chem at once, so if you use NPCs Use Aid Items with it then they'll use additional chems on top of that buff.
@@Mutant_Mods how many changes , what mods does it clash with? If you didn't have too many mods already ' F*cking Scary Fiends" is still a good mod ,plus NPC uses aid, would still be good to use together yeah?
I absolutely love this channel for bringing to light some of these phenomenal mods and showcasing those kickass modders!! Really looking forward to seeing future mod showcases!
Definitely questline like that just stands to reason. Of course raider gangs that aren't allied are going to compete for turf, supply line ambush spots for caravans. Food and water sources etc. I reckon a quest line specific to each tribe, gang would be essential. Like the shaman of the Vipers could send you on some Viper style vision quest. And give you some special venom perks or viper trait perks when you come back successful. Jackals , you could be sent to kidnap people , whole families for "meat" for rest of the tribe. Like the freaks from Andale basically do, but way more full on raider style , with all the aggression, violence added . That quest could get really gory , that questline could get really good if you are into the brutal side of things. You could pick the wrong people to kidnap and have a real fight on your hands ,if they wanted to take revenge on the rest of the Jackals. There's a ton of great potential and ideas for raider gang quests.just need the passion for it and a little imagination yeah?
@@colddaze6680 Yes, I would prefer quests where the tribes' lore is expanded or explained. There could also be quests with interaction between them, or for the legion, in which you could recruit them or simply exterminate them, since for the legion they are degenerate. There could be a quest in which the NCR or the Crimson Caravan investigated the disappearance of the caravans and you would have to infiltrate the Jackals to be able to free the survivors. Endless options.
@@Lcs546 Yeah all those good ideas too. Shit a couple of long time fans like us could write decent quests and lore friendly quests all day I think, maybe we should get jobs at Bethesda lol? I get the feeling you are really into the Legion, just saying 😏 That's cool I'm more a Khan or Viper, maybe a Jackal or a chem head Fiend , at least one run through. Definitely wanted to join Khans in FNV. Closest thing you got to it was wearing their colours and doing drug runs and selling and buying chems from Jack and Diane. Close ,but not an official member. I kept their colours on for one character and pretended I was a full member anyway, and set up home in one of their tents. Getting attacked by NCR on sight every time I was dressed like a Khan ,which was all the time, was pretty immersive I suppose lol.
@@colddaze6680 Haha. We certainly got good ideas, or at least better ones than theirs if we worked there. No bro, I'm not a fan of the legion. The only thing that bothers me about them is the fact that there isn't much content related to them in the game. If compared to the other factions, it is very little. My favorite faction is the followers of the apocalypse. I believe in their work hehe. And thank God Bethesda has ignored them until now.
My god imagine if obsidian was atleast given one more year to make what they had planned. I will say a lot of that time would have been given to polish, performance and bug fixes because at launch it ran terribly but even seeing some of the other content would have been amazing.
I think there’s something about the raider gangs of nv that makes them different from the other games, that they don’t actually feel like raiders but their own distinct gangs and factions
Just gonna put this out there cause itll go well with all these mods, the realistic bullet damage mod transforms this game to a whole new experience, usually one to two shots with most weapons will take out your enemies, but itll also take you out as well, makes the firefights very short but extremely intense, not for everyone but its worth a try, totally changes the pace, and makes every little fight you get into something you need to plan for, or something youll be hard pressed to escape from, like getting the drop on a group of fiends for example with a full auto is guaranteed to satisfy, but at the same time, if youre not paying attention to your surroundings, youll get what Wild Bill Hickok got
For anyone who still wants to add more to the powder gangers Kvatchcount the creator of the NCRF encounter mod also has mods that add in ghoul supermutant and female powder gangers these even include new voice lines and outfits! He also has a mod adding several new types of powder ganger enemies!
I always thought that with the cut dialogue between the three named Fiends’ that originally the Fiends would’ve been like, a group you could gain or lose reputation with. But it was cut due to time restraints.
I think its good that powder gangers seem a bit more organized and less brutal than raiders and fiends. Being ex cons, they would be more likely to organize, and their protection racket thing is also very much somerhing common in prisons. Fiends should have been a bit less organized and more brutal, using mostly melee weapons and common guns, given the fact they're just chem fiends. Raiders on the other hand should've been rarer. Given the presence of the NCR, the Khans and the Legion. Thos should filter out the smaller and less organized raiders, leaving only the more coordinated and larger gangs, with the ocasional opportunistic criminal and crazy survivalist raider here and there.
Dude what is letting me baffled is how many role playing animations you have, from the use of items, to the letter you deliver and the NPC reading it or the cherry on top of the cake the severed head of Cook-Cook . Dude which mods are those?
What I recall theres an actual Raider in New Vegas just outside Novac that either Boone or Manny killed, literally just a fiend with a different name but nonetheless
Agreed I wish they had fleshed out the Raider factions a lot more in New Vegas, I know you had the drug mule quest for the Khans working with the fiends, but I would have loved to side with the Raiders. My gal was a hockey mask wearing, chainsaw wielding drug using lunatic, she would have fit in beautifully, so instead I chose the Legion, though I definitely did not fit in 😂. Still that freedom not to be trapped between NCR/Legion/Yes Man, was why I was so ecstatic when the Fallout 4 Nuka World dlc came out (different game obv). It was a dream come true and the fact that I could spread out into the wasteland and take those Raiders with me as Raider Overboss ‘Chefs kiss’ that was something I wish they could have done with New Vegas. Regardless, New Vegas is still a great game, and I’m happy we have the Legion (although I still grumble that they should have had a ‘Boone’ Equivalent companion for the Legion that hunts the NCR on sight, much like he does with the Legion, (maybe even Vulpes) but maybe had said companion go back to the Legion camp) either way as a real life resident of Las Vegas, I approve 😬
It's the 3rd video I'm watching from your channel I liked them good job. However, about Khans not being tough enough, I think that's normal difficulty issue. I always played at hard and they seem to be tough enough, tho I'll try the mods you enlisted. Nice work on vanilla graphics enhancement video btw
I think I'd only go for a mod that puts the Powder Gangers in jumpsuits if it was just a few of them and not all of them. If they overtook a prison, they'd have access to the guards armoury, including their uniforms and stuff, so having them dressed like that works, but maybe not all of them would wanna change outfit. There could also be variants of the shirtless ones that have the jumpsuits but didn't put the top half of the jumpsuits on, and they'd just be tied around the waist or hanging freely around the waist. Edit: At least, I always assumed they were wearing guard uniforms, given the colours.
Do you know what mods are used for the effects at 12:46 & 13:08? I like how those looked, the bloodspurts looked good & the enemies felt a lot less over-the-top ragdolly. Also the one at 14:15, I can't believe he actually reacted to getting shot in the nuts, it's very responsive & the way he fell back felt very real & the way his body was on the ground afterwards felt very natural, those are much better than the swinging jelly bone ragdoll physics & the kinda weird way bodies are splayed out in vanilla New Vegas.
I just found out if you use both more believable powder gangers and powder ganger orange jumpsuit it will re-skin the convex and Prim to have the orange jumpsuit mod version (the one with the Sierra Madre armor)
hey mutant, your videos are very cool but i just wanted to know what the animation mod you where using for parts of the video (things like taking cook-cook's head, healing by eating, drinking, and taking chems, etc)
Have you thought about doing a Tale of Two Wastelands mod compilation? Would love to hear your opinions on some of the sub mods. Plus I kinda need a good combat overhaul, lol
An update for those who Lively Joe and Friends and has other Lively mods, check out the Super Lively mods from the same author who put these mods into one mod as a way to free up space in your mod lists and not surpass the 255 limit so quickly, at the time of me typing this there's two super lively mods out now on the nexus.
Thanks, was looking for mods to enhance FNV to do a playthrough with guns while playing through BG3. Tried playing a few months ago but got bored of vanilla pretty fast as been there done that.
There's no reason for them to have bows, especially given the heavy abundance of guns energy weapons and ammunition for both of them in the Mojave. That was a downgrade.
Huh - I've always wondered why the factions and relating quests seemed so minimal. They seemed like a missed opportunity. Now I know why... corporate timelines.
Those Scorpions are a glorfied crew. Nothing like the families of Vegas. They make anybody and everybody overthere. No sword and gun on the table. No respect.
Have you or the modders never seen California prison garbs? Both old or new? They're historically blue. I do not like the orange outfit at all, that color is more common in East Coast prisons. Obsidian chose the blue color of the powder gangers as a conscious deliberate decision. The blue clothes wasn't stolen gear, it's outdoor and indoor clothing such as the jacket.
Disclaimer: nothing about vanilla FNV is truly awful. Just a statement to peak interest in the intro.
The same cannot be said about fo4
The only 3D Fallout that can say that without everyone laughing
Only things that's awful is the lack of femboy sex with Vulpes

And give you some special venom perks or viper trait perks when you come back successful. Jackals , you could be sent to kidnap people , whole families for "meat" for rest of the tribe. Like the freaks from Andale basically do, but way more full on raider style , with all the aggression, violence added . That quest could get really gory , that questline could get really good if you are into the brutal side of things. You could pick the wrong people to kidnap and have a real fight on your hands ,if they wanted to take revenge on the rest of the Jackals. There's a ton of great potential and ideas for raider gang quests.just need the passion for it and a little imagination yeah?
@@colddaze6680 Yes, I would prefer quests where the tribes' lore is expanded or explained.
There could also be quests with interaction between them, or for the legion, in which you could recruit them or simply exterminate them, since for the legion they are degenerate.
There could be a quest in which the NCR or the Crimson Caravan investigated the disappearance of the caravans and you would have to infiltrate the Jackals to be able to free the survivors.
Endless options.
@@Lcs546 Yeah all those good ideas too. Shit a couple of long time fans like us could write decent quests and lore friendly quests all day I think, maybe we should get jobs at Bethesda lol?
I get the feeling you are really into the Legion, just saying 😏 That's cool I'm more a Khan or Viper, maybe a Jackal or a chem head Fiend , at least one run through. Definitely wanted to join Khans in FNV. Closest thing you got to it was wearing their colours and doing drug runs and selling and buying chems from Jack and Diane. Close ,but not an official member. I kept their colours on for one character and pretended I was a full member anyway, and set up home in one of their tents. Getting attacked by NCR on sight every time I was dressed like a Khan ,which was all the time, was pretty immersive I suppose lol.
@@colddaze6680 Haha. We certainly got good ideas, or at least better ones than theirs if we worked there.
No bro, I'm not a fan of the legion. The only thing that bothers me about them is the fact that there isn't much content related to them in the game. If compared to the other factions, it is very little.
My favorite faction is the followers of the apocalypse. I believe in their work hehe. And thank God Bethesda has ignored them until now.
It’s the voice acting that always misses. Makes you appreciate the actual voice actors even more
I feel like there should be an optional line in the dialogue about ransom pay: "50 000 caps??! Is that kid made of platinum?"
I love that I think I'm hearing mercenaries 2 ost in this video.
Also, I love your comment guidelines, it fits with who I think you are. Lol
Great video as always!
My god imagine if obsidian was atleast given one more year to make what they had planned. I will say a lot of that time would have been given to polish, performance and bug fixes because at launch it ran terribly but even seeing some of the other content would have been amazing.
Imagine thinking Raiders is a faction and not a social class in post-apocalypsis
It Will be only a little easy to kill them
I think there’s something about the raider gangs of nv that makes them different from the other games, that they don’t actually feel like raiders but their own distinct gangs and factions
Just gonna put this out there cause itll go well with all these mods, the realistic bullet damage mod transforms this game to a whole new experience, usually one to two shots with most weapons will take out your enemies, but itll also take you out as well, makes the firefights very short but extremely intense, not for everyone but its worth a try, totally changes the pace, and makes every little fight you get into something you need to plan for, or something youll be hard pressed to escape from, like getting the drop on a group of fiends for example with a full auto is guaranteed to satisfy, but at the same time, if youre not paying attention to your surroundings, youll get what Wild Bill Hickok got
These raiders needed this
3:25 the clipping 😆
Why does it happen?
@@Mutant_Mods It's mostly has to do with how the engine renders 2 objects at the same time.
I'm always excited when I see a new video from you.
Happy to hear that!
Been waiting for this one. Thanks king.
You should consider making a ‘collection’ of all these mods on the nexus. Great vid!
For anyone who still wants to add more to the powder gangers Kvatchcount the creator of the NCRF encounter mod also has mods that add in ghoul supermutant and female powder gangers these even include new voice lines and outfits! He also has a mod adding several new types of powder ganger enemies!
I always thought that with the cut dialogue between the three named Fiends’ that originally the Fiends would’ve been like, a group you could gain or lose reputation with. But it was cut due to time restraints.
Actively trying to make a load order that consists of every mod you've suggested for FNV
"This may just be the jet talking, but I really wanna kill you right now." lmao
The Inheritance is a good mod, got it in my loadout as we speak, though i never had a hostage sitch to deal with.
I think its good that powder gangers seem a bit more organized and less brutal than raiders and fiends. Being ex cons, they would be more likely to organize, and their protection racket thing is also very much somerhing common in prisons.
Fiends should have been a bit less organized and more brutal, using mostly melee weapons and common guns, given the fact they're just chem fiends.
Raiders on the other hand should've been rarer. Given the presence of the NCR, the Khans and the Legion. Thos should filter out the smaller and less organized raiders, leaving only the more coordinated and larger gangs, with the ocasional opportunistic criminal and crazy survivalist raider here and there.
this mod list is awesome
more unique raiders always
14:59
lets overhaul the creatures in the next video
next video: gunplay overhaul
Next video in this series. Gunplay video is part of another series.
all the mod channels seem to be drying up glad MM is going strong. awesome video, great info.
What other NV mod channels are our there?
Never gonna stop bro. After I’ve explored New Vegas, maybe a good game would actually f*ckin finally drop them I could mod that as well.
Dude what is letting me baffled is how many role playing animations you have, from the use of items, to the letter you deliver and the NPC reading it or the cherry on top of the cake the severed head of Cook-Cook . Dude which mods are those?
Finally! some lore-freindly mods! I absolutely hate horny mods in Fallout (I dont mind it in Skyrim lol)
10:32 dude that's just Chance the Rapper
Finally some quality content
I know right
What I recall theres an actual Raider in New Vegas just outside Novac that either Boone or Manny killed, literally just a fiend with a different name but nonetheless
Let's goooooooo MUTANT MODS new video, this is a great day
I love the different factions of raiders. Bethesda learned that too late in fallout 4 with the dlc
Agreed I wish they had fleshed out the Raider factions a lot more in New Vegas, I know you had the drug mule quest for the Khans working with the fiends, but I would have loved to side with the Raiders. My gal was a hockey mask wearing, chainsaw wielding drug using lunatic, she would have fit in beautifully, so instead I chose the Legion, though I definitely did not fit in 😂. Still that freedom not to be trapped between NCR/Legion/Yes Man, was why I was so ecstatic when the Fallout 4 Nuka World dlc came out (different game obv). It was a dream come true and the fact that I could spread out into the wasteland and take those Raiders with me as Raider Overboss ‘Chefs kiss’ that was something I wish they could have done with New Vegas. Regardless, New Vegas is still a great game, and I’m happy we have the Legion (although I still grumble that they should have had a ‘Boone’ Equivalent companion for the Legion that hunts the NCR on sight, much like he does with the Legion, (maybe even Vulpes) but maybe had said companion go back to the Legion camp) either way as a real life resident of Las Vegas, I approve 😬
It's the 3rd video I'm watching from your channel I liked them good job.
However, about Khans not being tough enough, I think that's normal difficulty issue. I always played at hard and they seem to be tough enough, tho I'll try the mods you enlisted.
Nice work on vanilla graphics enhancement video btw
At least New Vegas actually HAD raider factions. Not just generic “raiders”.
I think I'd only go for a mod that puts the Powder Gangers in jumpsuits if it was just a few of them and not all of them. If they overtook a prison, they'd have access to the guards armoury, including their uniforms and stuff, so having them dressed like that works, but maybe not all of them would wanna change outfit. There could also be variants of the shirtless ones that have the jumpsuits but didn't put the top half of the jumpsuits on, and they'd just be tied around the waist or hanging freely around the waist.
Edit: At least, I always assumed they were wearing guard uniforms, given the colours.

“Pack of drugged out killers”1:26
NPCs cant use aid items1:34
Do you know what mods are used for the effects at 12:46 & 13:08? I like how those looked, the bloodspurts looked good & the enemies felt a lot less over-the-top ragdolly. Also the one at 14:15, I can't believe he actually reacted to getting shot in the nuts, it's very responsive & the way he fell back felt very real & the way his body was on the ground afterwards felt very natural, those are much better than the swinging jelly bone ragdoll physics & the kinda weird way bodies are splayed out in vanilla New Vegas.
I wish this stuff was in vanilla NV especially the bows. I’d play new Vegas everyday for years
I just found out if you use both more believable powder gangers and powder ganger orange jumpsuit it will re-skin the convex and Prim to have the orange jumpsuit mod version (the one with the Sierra Madre armor)
hey mutant, your videos are very cool but i just wanted to know what the animation mod you where using for parts of the video (things like taking cook-cook's head, healing by eating, drinking, and taking chems, etc)
Have you thought about doing a Tale of Two Wastelands mod compilation? Would love to hear your opinions on some of the sub mods. Plus I kinda need a good combat overhaul, lol
An update for those who Lively Joe and Friends and has other Lively mods, check out the Super Lively mods from the same author who put these mods into one mod as a way to free up space in your mod lists and not surpass the 255 limit so quickly, at the time of me typing this there's two super lively mods out now on the nexus.
Thanks, was looking for mods to enhance FNV to do a playthrough with guns while playing through BG3. Tried playing a few months ago but got bored of vanilla pretty fast as been there done that.
There's no reason for them to have bows, especially given the heavy abundance of guns energy weapons and ammunition for both of them in the Mojave. That was a downgrade.
In lore they use bows thats reason enought
@@Alex-yf4zi But they lost all of their culture from before the genocide committed by the BoS
13:29. Wish they had Mongol Yurts and Plains Tribes Teepees.
Huh - I've always wondered why the factions and relating quests seemed so minimal. They seemed like a missed opportunity. Now I know why... corporate timelines.
if I was tripping all the time, I wouldn't wear a goddamn skull. freakout central
Btw if anyone has a problem with raiders from Mojave raiders wearing the new armors than delete the esp
I love your content
Pls make more lore friendly mod lists like this ❤❤❤
Another day in this man's glorious army.
I love that you use the Sonora soundtrack
OH MY GOD YESS!!! Been wanting something like this
Thank you so much for the video
I miss this game 😭
Those Scorpions are a glorfied crew. Nothing like the families of Vegas. They make anybody and everybody overthere. No sword and gun on the table. No respect.
Now I gotta edit the mod list and start a raider playthrough
Damn those were some good looking armors.
Very accurate to real life Las Vegas
Always on the lookout for some more cannon fodder
Powder Gangers are a great example of why would I ever side with them
I didn't even realize those last two were factions
Have you or the modders never seen California prison garbs? Both old or new? They're historically blue. I do not like the orange outfit at all, that color is more common in East Coast prisons. Obsidian chose the blue color of the powder gangers as a conscious deliberate decision. The blue clothes wasn't stolen gear, it's outdoor and indoor clothing such as the jacket.
You should make a mod pack for all for of these videos or just the mod list order to use the all the mods in these 4 videos
