For example, here's a really cool bit involving the main quest affecting the game world permanently. Other portions of the project, meanwhile, bring back New Vegas' original, in-engine opening, add multiple choices and stages to some really interesting quests, and make many scenes and scenarios more consequential. The Strip as found in the retail game is not the original plan for the area, and the checkpoint gates that make the area so clumsy to navigate are sadly a technical compromise - to quote Obsidian lead designer J.E Sawyer: 'Memory problems caused crashing in both The Strip and Freeside, so they had to be split up.'" "The Strip Open is an attempt to restore the Vegas Strip worldspace in Fallout: New Vegas to what was the developer's original intent namely a large, visually spectacular open area.
For instance, one mod restores the Vegas Strip to its original vision - as opposed to the cramped, underpopulated consolation prize we got in the original game. But, taken together, these bits and pieces stand to transform New Vegas into a far more impressive locale. The end result? A restoration project that borders on insane.Īdmittedly, no one individual piece of the cut content is game-changing or anything like that. In short, a modder by the name of "Moburma" went sifting through New Vegas' code and excavated scrapped bits and bobs of all shapes and sizes. Semi-recently, I had quite a joyous time with the harder-core-than-thou JSawyer mod, but now I'm getting ready to dig into an official-unofficial project that positively dwarfs it. And in spite of the couple-hundred-some-odd hours I've put into it, I want more. Fallout: New Vegas was a glitch-ridden, unwieldy beast of a game, but it's a testament to the wonderful (and very Black-Isle) world Obsidian crafted that - in spite of rampant instability and a fiddly engine - it still stands as one of my absolute favorite games.
