It also lets you football tackle foes with your Power Armor to send them flying into space.
A fairly comprehensive mod called Project Nevada makes the game much harder. Improvements led to entirely new quests, weather, companions, and finally difficulty adjustments. I wasn’t about to play New Vegas, an Obsidian/Bethesda joint from 2010, without some serious fan-made fixes. I eventually landed on the last of those three. Old games like… STALKER, Breath of the Wild, and Fallout. Both of these conspired to get me jonesing for old games. Or else there was new content for games I had mostly written off (e.g.
STALKER 2 and a Breath of the Wild sequel). Some of which are successors to series we haven’t hung out with in a while (e.g. This year’s show didn’t have much in the way of truly new news. But the seed of modding - of making a game as unique or interesting as I wanted - was planted.Įnter E3. The long load times it added eventually introduced enough friction to break my bender. There are basically three flavors of comprehensive BattleTech suites: a light dusting of better mechanics, a challenging overhaul of the base game, and “ go fuck yourself mode.” I opted for the middle option. I found my answer in a still-healthy modding scene. Unable to choose a new game, I grew obsessed with this old favorite all over again earlier this year. This technically started with BattleTech (the 2018 mech tactics game that you should absolutely play if you haven’t already). I’m afraid the floodgates are open I’m going full bore mod pervert now. Plus it means I never actually have to choose what to play. It turns out modding the ever-loving Christ out of games is addictive, too. As it turns out, however, I had bigger concerns. Bloating that with fan-made quests or features would just interrupt me even more. I like to carve off one big, juicy slice of my “to play” list at a time. This is partly why I never got deep into mods.
When it comes to games I’m neurotic to the bone - no doubt about it. It’s why I ended up streaming XCOM 2: War of the Chosen for seven hours at a time. At the same time, my addictive personality really ties me down to a single game whenever I do decide what I want. My backlog, like so many of our loom Death Mountains of Steam Sale purchases, gives me the kind of analysis paralysis human beings were bred to handle. I have a tough time deciding what to play.
