RADIO

This is completely down to personal preference. There are a fucking ton of radio mods available on New Vegas Nexus.

USER INTERFACE

------------------------------------------------------------------

Darnified UI: Very good heads up display, most people use this. Follow the damn installation Instructions

http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1131897-wipzbeta-darnified-ui-nv/

 

One Hud: Wonderful mod that makes it possible to configure almost every aspect of your heads up display.

GRAPHICS

------------------------------------------------------------------

NMC's Texture Pack: Very nice textures

http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/43135/

 

Poco/Ojo Bueno: Very nice textures, but doesn't cover as many as NMC. Recommended to install NMC, then install Poco/Ojo on top of that to get the best of both worlds.

http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/42028, http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/39755

 

Vurt's Wasteland Flora: Adds numerous flora to the game. Comes with two versions: Dead and Fertile

Enhanced Shaders Lite: Very nice general improvement for the game. Not compatible with any other ENBs

http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/34868

 

Weather

------------------------------------------------------------------

Only use ONE of these mods.

 

Project Reality: Looks quite nice, but has terribly ugly rain. Has performance issues on even the most powerful rigs

http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/42180

 

Nevada Skies: Comes with two versions: URWLified, and Normal. Install the one you prefer. Doesn't lower performance too much

http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/35998/

 

Western Sky: This mod edits the way the sky looks, the distant mountains are more blue/purple, but the only weather it supports is duststorms.

CLASSIC FALLOUT

___________________________________________________________________

 

    >Some ammo penetrates armor well, but some doesn't. Also it's best NOT to use the AP ammo, it's bad implemented in the game. Only some types are good, but they are quite rare. Good AP ammo: Rocket AP and Needler AP.

 

    >Secondary Skill Doctor can be used to heal crippled limbs. You have a % chance of success, even with 10% skill, so there is no need to tag it.

 

    >If you find some melee enemies hard, wait until they almost reach you, attack, then retreat a few Action Points. Most of them can't move enough to reach you and to attack as well.

 

    >You can often survive an otherwise unbeatable random encounter by running away.

 

    >You can keep some one-handed weapon in inventory in case one of your arms gets crippled. Don't leave NPCs or stuff in a random map location. After you go, they are lost forever.

    It's recommended to save often. Save before a battle and after. You can always take a critical shot which bypass your armor and kill you no matter the stage of the game.

 

    >Also it's recommended to save before you try to lockpick something, it's a chance to critically fail and jam the lock (it will last until midnight)

 

    >Save before taking drugs, bad things can happen.

 

    >It's a good idea to search everything. Search the boxes, containers, dead bodies, some of them are in locations obscured by walls. Also if you take something from a house with people around, they may become hostile, so save before and use sneak when necessary.

 

    >If an enemy has fallen down, the chance to hit him is increased by 40%. So targeted shots can be used at that point. You can shoot an enemy in the legs to knock them down.

 

    >Best targeted shots are in the eyes - around 60% more the normal critical shot chance. A critical hit worths 2-4 times the damage of a normal hit and can bypass enemies' armor.
