Question About the Graphics

[D.A.R.K.]

Is there a way to mod the graphics to be better? People say this one of the best, if not the best, Fallout game in the series, but the graphics bother me a lot, enough to stop me from buying and playing. I was watching a video and the graphics in this video is great, acceptable, so I came here to ask if it's possible to upgrade the graphics with mod or something like that.

The video is called "Fallout: New Vegas Is Genius, And Here's Why" and it's from "hbomberguy" (I'm not him, and I'm sponsoring him, just using his video as example how good the graphics in the video are)

Just looked up that video and it skimmed thru it. Seems he doesn't use any graphic mods he just put all his graphical settings to ultra. You can do the same in the launch options menu when you boot up the game.

If you can give me a time stamp where you're seeing better graphics in the video I might be able to see if there's a mod or not.

The whole video, basically... Are you telling me he's playing the default graphics? So why Steam store page shows me horrendous images like this one (below) instead of the true graphics of the game?

Again, a time stamp would help me see what graphics you're talking about. I'm not going thru a hour and a half video to see what your talking about.

Plus, that screenshot was from before the game came out for promotions. Who knows what graphics settings they used. Hard to tell as it's an image.

I just pick any point. It's literally the same quality throughout the whole video. I look at the SS in store page and thought that was the graphics, but looking at the video, it looks great compared to the SS. Unfortunately the SS is the only thing that we can use because the trailer isn't game play trailer, so we can't know the quality of the graphics.

Frankly I don't see a difference between the graphics in that screen and in that video. They are the same, vanilla FONV graphics

[Ladez]

That does indeed seem to be the vanilla textures. The screenshots on the store page are horribly compressed JPGs and who knows what graphics settings they were taken on.

The gameplay in the video is a pretty good representation of how the game actually looks.

[Vex Hilarius]

Yeah all I'm seeing is vanilla graphics even in the pic i have no idea what you're seeing.

[Ladez]

Look at this one from the store page:

https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/22380/ss_f703adcb9aa1d718a39288adf7d2e1b4dc0e568a.jpg

Even if you've never played the game before, it should be obvious that this shot has horrendous compression artifacts. That location looks vastly better in-game on high video settings.

Thanks to know the graphics in the video and the game is true, that was my doubt.

follow this mod guide, then after that go to the fallout nexus mod page and sort by most popular. From that point work from top to bottom and select what you like, one of the first mods you'll see is the texture pack mod NCM textures.

My current mod list

AWOP
EVE
FNV Mod Limit
FOV SLIDER
Interior LIghting Overhaul
JIP LN NVSE plugin
Jhonny Guitar NVSE
More Perks
Nevada Skies
New Vegas Heap Replacer
New vegas script extender
NMC Textures LARGE PACK (3parts)
One tweak
perk every level
Stewie Tweaks
Mod config menu
UIO
Unofficial Patch NVSE plus
Wasteland Flora and Terrian Overhaul
Weapon Mods Expanded
Weapon Retexture Project
Yukichigai Unofficial patch
3rd person camera extended

Although this may seem like a lot, it was really easy to get it up and working with Vortex since you just click and download and the mod manger comes with a mod load order function as well.

Also I want to add that the goal I had in mind for my modlist was making a modlist that helped to increase stability, performance, introduce bug fixes and overall refine the new vegas experience without straying to far from its 'vanilla' state. Although AWOP adds 150 new locations I really feel like all the locations it adds fit into the game great and it is a must have.

[Yashar]

i also added screenshots for those who want to see what the game looks like with this mod list on my profile

It's funny you are the single one that touch this point, but I'm gonna answer... Yes, if the graphic of a game is too horrible to bare I won't play it. If you look at my game list you'll see a lot of games that I play and like the majority of people would consider the graphics "horrible", but not me because I'm not a graphic ♥♥♥♥♥... Yet, I have limits.

I was always interested in playing one of the Fallout games but never pick one, people always told New Vegas was the best one but I always thought Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 are the most interesting ones. When I opened the Fallout New Vegas Steam Store page and saw the pictures I just thought "I won't endure the graphics".

At this point I went to watch a video about it, saw the graphics and came to ask what are the mods he's using, because this is the only thing stopping me from playing the game, until I discover (thanks to this thread) that those are the true graphics of the game and the pictures on Steam Store page aren't true to the game.

Do you have any issue with the steps that I took?
