You guys finish games?
I liked fallout New Vegas a lot, but my hoarding mentality and constant inventory management was a bad combination, so I never finished that game.
There’s a UI mod that makes a world of difference. Adds categories and columns for sorting, one of the categories is junk so you know what you can just trash without worries. Another is a weight/value ratio so its easier to drop heavy armor that looks sort of valuable but really isnt. It saves an incredible amount of time. Game still takes forever to beat if you wanna do all the quests.
Anyone know what this mod is called? I have the same hoarding problem as the other poster so this sounds essential for me.
Its been over a decade so I’m not entirely sure, but I think this might be the one: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/60534
I played around with Skyrim modding more so I may have confused some features with SkyUI. I could have sworn they were made by the same people but now that one is listed as developed by the SkyUI team, and looks like it got a lot more updates.
I think last I played NV I also used Project Nevada which gives a major overhaul of tons of aspects for the game. It’s got a whole lot more than you’re asking for but it was pretty rad.
Edit: Or it might have been the DarNified one. This sounds familiar: https://taleoftwowastelands.com/viewtopic.php@t=7284
Sorry for the uncertainty here, its really been awhile and I would have to reinstall all this stuff to know for sure whats what.
Save corruption was what did it for me. Every single attempt at playing New Vegas resulted in save corruption before I could beat it.
Baldur’s Gate 3.
I played through one single player save and two multiplayer ones with different groups, enjoyed it all - but only got a little ways into Act 3 on any one save. A combination of middling performance with my older rig and just having sank so much time in I burnt out a little.
Still think it’s a fantastic game, but I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to finish it - I feel like I’d have to start a whole new save.
I’m in the same boat. I want to like the game and it is fun, but I got stuck with some area with orbs and my save corrupted…one of the orbs just disappeared after 50+ hours and I can’t bring myself to play again and possibly have the same bug pop up. Maybe someday but it’s just such a big game.
Yep, love the game and got a good portion into act 3 but then just lost all will to play.
It was the same with divinity original sin 2. The final act was so large, disorganized, and not fun. Like they had a lot of ideas they needed to use but didn’t know where until then, so they threw them all in a big city and called it a day.
I have that game and never made it past the first 20 min. Maybe I’ll give it another shot.
In my experience act 3 was extremely buggy, we had a blast in act 1 and 2 with my friend but the bugs in act 3 killed basically all our motivation and we never finished it.
- Doom 2016: Save with low ammo before a big fight
- BioShock 1: Save with low ammo before a big fight
- Prey 2017: Save with low ammo before a big fight…
- Hollow Knight: Got lost to the point where now half my playtime is trying to find where to go, making me give up
I loved Hollow Knight except for the same issue. By the time I gain a new traversal skill, I have so many paths to explore that I can’t remember them. Became all about meticulous backtracking, gave up.
Decided to give it another go. This time I found a map online, removed all icons and edited the image so it was just a simple outline with no spoilers. Printed it out. Marked it with notes and colour-coded symbols as I played. Made more progress, and exploration was way more fun.
Then I moved house and lost the map… I really love the game but just haven’t gotten the desire to try again just yet. No idea how everyone does it with just those way-too-limited in game map markers
I found that Elder Bug would pretty much always just tell you where to go
Well it’s been a while, so either I still managed to get lost with that, or I completely missed that mechanic… Well, I think even if I were told what area I should be in, I’d still feel like I needed to check off the 3 new paths I can now go down of the 15 currently locked to me. If that makes sense. I miss my map…
