peteed1985 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 will a fallout new vegas unofficial patch come out? i'd assume steam would see game wasn't the same as latest update and would patch away any unofficial patch unless an unofficial patch disables steam which seeing as steam is the DRM would be illegal was there an unofficial fallout 3 patch on the steam version? if there was then I guess a new vegas one must be able to happen but if it couldn't then this one might not be able to either is why I ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a patch patch given that the name patch was used and patches are normally updates to core game files :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x0diak Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Good question, but yea, a Mod is a mod. Im looking forward to the modding community fixing many of the broken elements of this game, as they always do. I fear the day modders do not...

I thought it was a patch patch given that the name patch was used and patches are normally updates to core game files :PIn a way, but the unofficial patch purpose is not to correct engine's bugs but bugs in quests, textures, lists and so on. So it is in fact a mod delivered in ESM/ESP, texture files and so on. Notice neither even OBSE nor FOSE actually edit the main files, they patch it only on memory. PS: It's important to notice that kind of mod (general patches) should be "Installed" first, it's not enough to just change the load order most of times. The reasoning being this way they are less prone to disrupt whatever change another mod does (considering they tend to be very broad in scope and meant to correct/keep the original game content/structure instead actually changing it). Albeit not a rule written on stone, it's like a "golden rule" (notice that's not the same for bashed patches that are meant to be loaded last)..
