Menageryl Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 It's been a while since I've run the game all-Vanilla... A long, long while actually... For... reasons... I went through the pain-in-the-butt process of disabling plugins today... As part-and-parcel of what I was trying to do, I ended up restoring a mid-game save repeatedly, in quick succession, as I disabled and enabled... At one point I essentially ended up with a Vanilla setup again. And was FLABBERGHASTED!!! W.O.W... Did... Does the game REALLY look like THIS out of the box!??!??!? Did I really do almost a complete play-through with the game looking so.... Wow! I very quickly then switched EVERYTHING back on and restored the game again (and I wasn't even in a particularly attractive area of the game either - pretty plain location)... It is actually absolutely INCREDIBLE just how much additional visual quality and atmosphere mods can bring to this game!!! STARTLING!! And I'm not even running any high-rez packs or ultra-settings. But add a few environment and lighting mods (plus a couple of model updates) and suddenly... Well, putting the two results side-by-side one could only really tell it was the same game because of the unique art-direction of the Fallout games - otherwise one would be hard-pressed to make that connection. Anyways. Just had to make this comment. Put it somewhere it might be seen and appreciated... :) But seriously, maybe you should do yourself a favour at some point - especially if you're feeling negative about the game for any reason - and just disable all your plugins for a quick view at what your game would otherwise look like, then re-enable and move forward once more... It actually quite an eye-opener. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the moddability of games like this! And for the support of a wonderful community such as ours!!!
