I've started a new playthrough of Fallout New Vegas. Never got round to finishing it last time, so hopefully will do now! So far I've added some stability mods and a new radio station. Anyone got any other mod recommendations?

[–] dannydotcafe@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 years ago (4 children)

For a long time I went down crazy modding rabbit holes for the fallout games, spending more time modding than actually playing. I finally decided to just pick a setup and stick with it so I could actually enjoy the game. I ended up following this guy's modlist which has a nice focus on the essentials.

[–] OmegaMouse@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Some of those look nice! I notice that a lot have pre-requisite mods, and those require their own pre-requisites 😱 I'll see if I can find some easy to install ones

[–] dannydotcafe@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I definitely recommend weapon inertia and the one that makes enemies react to getting shot (can't remember the name, ragdoll maybe?). They're subtle changes but make a huge difference in how the game feels!

[–] OmegaMouse@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I'll give those two a go! Looking into it, I think I'd need the following mods to get these to work, which isn't too bad:

  • B42 Weapon inertia
  • Ragdolls
  • JIP LN NVSE
  • JohnnyGuitar NVSE
  • NC Compatibility skeleton
  • The Mod Configuration Menu (optional)

One thing I'm not sure about... I installed MO2 on my Deck using this guide which also installs NVSE. But how do I know what version of NVSE it installed? A few mods mention they need a particular version of NVSE.

[–] dannydotcafe@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Looking at the script from the repo you installed 6.2.4. This isn't the most recent. I think you'd be fine to update (it's just extracting an exe and a couple dolls to your game directory). I've never heard of a mod requiring an older version, so staying with the most recent is probably good practice!

[–] OmegaMouse@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks, I got it working! Well all except the ragdoll mod because that requires you to have all the DLC :(

[–] Cowbee@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Most mods require Ultimate Edition, you'll find.

Viva New Vegas is a fantastic one stop shop.

[–] Ecksell@lemmy.one 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Spider-Man:Miles Morales. Hopefully by the time I beat it Spider-Man 2 will be on Steam and Deck Verified

[–] freakrho@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

I played it twice in a weekend, so be ready to wait

My Steam Deck is a "Baba is me" machine right now, most of the time. It is a neat little puzzle game to play while sitting on the couch.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 years ago

Deck is currently being borrowed by my dad to play Zero Dawn, but last I had it, I was using it for Final Fantasy VII Intergrade.

[–] smort@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

This is so dumb, but:

The new Forza Motorsport has a system where you have to drive a car for like 3 hours before you’re able to upgrade all of the parts on it. Regardless of how many credits you have.

So I’ve been using xCloud to “play” Forza with all of the driving assists on—accelerating, braking, shifting, all of it—just to level up cars to the point I unlock all of the upgrades to that car. (Offline, of course. Not gonna mess up someone else’s game because of Microsoft’s weird ideas on progression.)

So “AFK racing” has been running on my Deck more than any other game this week.

[–] dandroid@dandroid.app 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wow, that sounds awful. Reminds me of shitty mobile games.

[–] smort@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah, I guess they were going for “engagement” or whatever metrics look good to the C suite pinheads.

But the actual racing with a properly upgraded and tuned car feels really good! So I enjoy the actual racing, and let the computer do the grinding for me lol

[–] pepsison52895@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How are you running Xcloud? Are you running Windows?

[–] i_am_hungry@meganice.online 5 points 2 years ago

Dave the diver, casual enough to play just before going to sleep.

[–] Firefeet@pawb.social 5 points 2 years ago

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen I just wanted to see how well it ran (decently enough, a few more stutters / slowdowns than I hoped but certainly playable) and now it has been the main game I've played for several weeks 😅 Game is fun :b

[–] thetokenlady@midwest.social 4 points 2 years ago

Spiritfarer, which looks like it’s related to Stardew Valley, but turns pretty damn dark at times. Also Baldur’s Gate 3, Stray and Hollow Knight.

BG3 really needs to be played plugged in as it eats battery like crazy and also helps with a bigger screen. At which point I might as well go down to the big computer.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A friend got me into Honkai Star Rail, so that's been taking up most of my time.

Other than that, I've also been playing Black Mesa and Trolley Delayma which is a free little trolley problem game.

I'm still putting off Baldur's Gate 3 hoping for FSR 2 to be added, but with silence from the devs on when/if that's being added, I'll probably go ahead and start playing it soon.

[–] Ecksell@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How did you get HSR running on a Steam Deck?

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

There's a 3rd party launcher for it. They've asked people not to link it publicly, so I'll send you a DM.

[–] Ecksell@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago
[–] topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Tomb raider 2013. Doing solo at 100%

[–] kerf@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I hope to play some more Baldur's Gate III. I'll probably stream it from my main computer since the fan noise is so loud otherwise. It's been a while since tried to run it on the Steam Deck so there might have been some updates, gonna try it again! I'll probably make some progress in Stardew Valley and Hades too, both wonderful games for the Deck!

[–] jherazob@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Currently going through every Metroidvania Castlevania posterior to Symphony, went through the Advance Collection and had to resort to emulation for the NDS ones, currently on Portrait of Ruin. After that we'll see.

[–] McWolke@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Binding of isaac

[–] adam@kbin.pieho.me 3 points 2 years ago

Finally got around to playing Carrion. It's a great game for the deck and is a massive amount of fun.

[–] danielquinn@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Ni No Kuni II. It's a fun RPG that's easy to put down and come back to when you have time. The combat is fun too, though the voice overs are a bit distracting.

[–] Bender12@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Trails into Reverie. Then onto Kuro No Kiseki.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 points 2 years ago

Still Baldur's Gate 3. And a little bit of Untitled Goose Game on the side.

[–] pipariturbiini@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Played most of COCOON during a recent airplane round-trip. Also started Pocket Mirror, I got an RPG Maker fever after playing Corpse Party.

[–] Cuttlersan@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Been rocking out with Songs of Syx, a rather fun little city builder/colony management/4X mashup. Gotta admit I’m getting back into strategy games with the touchpad lol

[–] airbussy@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Slowly getting through Lego Bricktales. Building on a flatscreen isn't as satisfying as the real thing, but it's a nice little game to play on Deck.

[–] zipkag@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Just finished shadow of Mordor yesterday and it was fun, and worked perfect on the deck. Today I started Darkwood, seems to be working reasonably well so far, although the run versus walk controls are a little clunky, but overall no big issues just an hour in to it

[–] Panda@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Baldur's Gate 3, mostly. But I've been playing Pathfinder Wrath of The Righteous when the others in the group I play with can't play.

Oh, and some Cities Skylines II here and there. Works reasonably well with the controller, but it's not perfect.

[–] ErwinLottemann@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

still vampire survivors 😵‍💫

[–] CalcProgrammer1@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Haven't used my Deck in a while, but yesterday I played Overwatch on it. New gf plays on console, so she was on Switch and I was on Deck. I'm not good at controller Overwatch but after a few games I felt like I wasn't a complete drag on our team at least.

[–] hurricane155@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

High on life since I don't get to play much but have a marginal stack of games to get through. Good game so far and very witty

Hollow Knight.

I started playing it at the start of this week, and have been completely hooked into it.

What I find pleasantly surprising is that I gave the game a few chances over the years, but it just didn’t click. Perhaps as I was playing on a PS, and I find it very odd to play platformers and similar games on it.

[–] geemili@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Factorio and I just picked up a game called Outpath (similar to Forager, but in 3d! and other minor changes).

[–] NabeGewell@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

No Man's Sky for few months now.

Also started Hellblade, its very easy to get stuck in that game it seems

been playing West of loathing and shadows over loathing lately. Fun and stupid, nice to be able to play them on deck

[–] Kobaltauge@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

Still Lonely Mountains: Downhill And newly bought Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun

[–] k7ZFwGZHFz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago
