Man.... if vanilla New Vegas is still giving you performance issues, you might wanna upgrade your toaster.

Nah, with mods the lack of threading makes oblivion and fo:nv unplayable once you add on enough eye candy

It absolutely does, though. Vanilla crashes all the time and has several game-breaking bugs. I don't recommend that anyone plays New Vegas unmodded – especially on a newer machine that'll be less compatible (like my 7700X + 4090 rig running Windows 11) – unless you just hate yourself. You need community patches to get it in a playable state.

Same goes for Fallout 3. It's not nearly as buggy as NV, of course, but try running it Vanilla on a modern Windows 11 machine and let me know how well that goes for you lol. You get massive framerate dips and it literally crashes every 5 minutes on a brand new PC if you don't install any mods to make it compatible.

If it brings me a few minutes more battery life on my steamdeck, it is worth it

Todd, I didn't know you were a Lemmy user.

How much can upgrading a computer cost, $10?

The big question remains…..is this compatible with A Tale of Two Cities mod?

Give us a current gen remake.

I wonder what would happen if Bethesda gave a few of the best modders full access to the game's code and to the latest version of the engine. I bet they could come up with a current gen remake in under a year without the involvement of a single Bethesda dev.

I think you're severely underestimating how much time, effort, and resources game development takes. Especially when the devs aren't doing it full-time.
