Today’s game is Fallout New Vegas. I finally got it to work again after it kept crashing whenever i entered VATS. i ended up reinstalling (after backing up my saves) and now it works fine. I think this game i’ll spend a while on because it works well with my schedule (I can save at any time and it uses up a low amount of battery on my Steam Deck). I at least want to get old world blues done, but i hope to finish the DLC, complete the game, and 100% all achievements.

I took this screenshot while hunting down parts for the “all my friends have off switches” quest. This was in the area with the Spore People and Mr. Gutsy. I struggled with Mr. Gutsy and ended up saying Fuck it and used a grenade launcher on them. In this specific screenshot there is one right below the bridge from me which killed me right after the screenshot.

    How straight forward is modding new Vegas on the steam deck? Keep meaning to go back to it but I’d prefer to play it on my deck and I just can’t imagine ever going back to vanilla NV.

      I believe that Vortex, the nexus mod manager, has Linux support now that I have heard is fairly straightforward but I haven’t tried it myself.

      I will say though that I recently used Vortex for modding my Fallout 4 playthrough and it was a breeze on windows while using a Nexus mod collection. Takes a lot of the pain out of modding for sure. So if you can get their mod manager running I think it’s worth a try. Could be as simple as downloading Vortex, finding a collection of mods you like, downloading the collection (usually a temporary subscription is nice for this, and then running the game. You could be done like I was in a matter of a couple hours.
