TheOuroborus Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Is there a way to somehow create a mod that simply adds Fallout New Vegas as a sort of DLC to Fallout 3? Or vice versa? I'm not a tech whiz (clearly), but it seems to me that the games are virtually identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohannesGunn Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 While I'm sure there is a way, I'm also pretty sure the moderators would frown on you following this course of inquiry. If memory serves, there was one person who partially succeeded, but the moderators shut down the thread and removed the images from it. So, yeah, it can be done. Should it? Probably not. And if you do, don't tell anyone. Still, I wish you luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NieaV Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) If you own both games where is the problem in proceeding with such a objective? Edited November 20, 2010 by NieaV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVampireDante Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) If you're doing it without any intentions to distribute, there's no issue. Uploading anything that does this, or the file assets themselves is where the problem lies... As long as nothing leaves your system, you're fine to do what you want on your own computer. A definite "Keep it to yourself" situation as it were... It does mean asking people to do it for you is out, as that rquires people to pass around files and such. If you want it, you'll have to figure out the process and do the work yourself. Edited November 20, 2010 by The Vampire Dante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surenas Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Remarkably enough the intention to add Vegas as DLC to Fallout 3 (and not perhaps vice versa!) is latent in the air.That tells a lot about the experienced value of Vegas compared to its predecessor game. Whenever I switch back to Fallout-3 I'm sad about Vegas which is, to be fair, indeed nothing but a DLC to Fallout-3 sold as a standalone.

JohannesGunn Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) If you're doing it for your own personal use, there's no problem. Just thought I'd warn you that uploading it would probably result in your file being removed, you possibly being banned, etc. The debacle over Morroblivion comes to mind...

Surenas Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Morroblivion tried to combine two totally independent games. The only independence between Fallout-3 and Vegas I can Identify right now is the ultimate necessity of the steam online shell by the latter. For that reason alone it is already again impossible to talk of Vegas as a DLC to the non-steam game Fallout-3. But that's all when we talk about the differences, for there are no other. Stillborn hopes, I fear. Too bad. Edited November 20, 2010 by Surenas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohannesGunn Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I was thinking more along the lines of the uproar caused, but you're right, the only thing that separates them is NV's reliance on steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOuroborus Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 I was thinking more along the lines of the uproar caused, but you're right, the only thing that separates them is NV's reliance on steam. So, couldn't you just go offline with Steam, put your fallout3.esm in FONV Data folder and be on your way? Seems to me if you own both games and aren't trying to sell the method or mod for profit, there shouldn't be a problem. Unless they are technically incompatible. Which it doesn't appear that they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
