timone317 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I've played both Fallout titles over the past year which became available to me when a friend gave me his PC that had both games installed on it, and I've really loved every second of the games. Since I don't own my own copy of New Vegas I've been stuck with playing just Dead Money, Honest Hearts, and the mods available on this site. I haven't purchased Old World Blues or Lonesome Road yet simply because I don't think I'd be able to download it without waiting an entire day due to my internet speed. I just now found out abou Bethesda releasing the Fallout: New Vegas - Ultimate Edition for PC and I'm really interested in buying it since it comes with all the DLC. However, I'm a bit concerned about it...is this just going to be a repackaging of the original disc with a second DLC disc or will the game engine be updated on the first disc to include all the latest patches? I'd hate to install all the DLC and then have to install a patch for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModelV Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Both Fallout titles? :confused: There are 6 Fallout titles. :wallbash: Im going to assume it contains the patches since your system would explode when you install the DLC's without them and when I got Fallout 3 GOTY i didnt have to wait on any updates. On the chance that you need to wait on updates Im sure a 5 minute wait wont kill you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timone317 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 I meant the two Bethesda Fallout titles. And I'm just asking because I have no idea how big the patch would even be. I use about 34 mods and I'd like to be able to continue using them once I reinstall New Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shantih Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Back up your mods (textures and meshes folders, esms and esps) so you won't have to download them again to be able to use them. It shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timone317 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 I've actually got all my mods in a back up folder, I wanted to reinstall everything from scratch, and I'm worried about running into some sort of conflict since the mods will be old files and this will be a fresh install of the game.

FMod Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Are you going to start a new game? Yes: Best to reinstall all your mods, using Wrye Flash installer feature, to put them all right. And don't forget to check for updates.No: Back up your entire Data folder, move it, then copy-paste it into the new install, without overwriting anything. There will be no conflicts.

timone317 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 No, I'm going to be keeping my old saves and I have the original mod zip folders set aside. All I'm doing is removing my friend's copy from the computer and installing everything fresh (and getting Steam), mainly because I jumped into modding with no previous experience and I made quite a few mistakes that I'd like to go back and correct (such as using a super mutant retexture that has permanently left all super mutants with pale green skin). I've never heard of this Wyre Flash Installer, if I use that would I have to go merge folders myself or does that program do it for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minngarm Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 How can you play New Vegas without already having steam...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timone317 Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Idk, my friend just had it installed on here. It could be a copy, Idk. It won't matter once I buy the Ultimate Edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarnivalOfFear Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 there are non steam copys of New Vegas mainly in countries other than the US where internet speeds are terrible. I live in canada and I saw a copy in the local game store. except for some reason everyone and their dog seems to have a non-steam copy. Seems suspicious...
