I've been playing a lot of Fallout recently.
Well. Not so much 'playing' as trying to get all these awesome mods to work together properly long enough for me to load MORE mods onto it.
That's my problem with these types of games, I get playing for like twenty minutes and then I'm like, "You know what? These rats need bigger breasts" or something stupid like that and BAM, I'm back at the Nexus. Especially using a tool like Mod Organizer, which has some great perks, which are just barely enough to make up for the fact that those perks make modding harder for Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas and Oblivion. Easier for Skyirm, though. It turns what would be a 2-hour problem (for someone like me with the critical thinking of a gnat on crack) easily into a 4-hour problem. Of which I feel highly accomplished when I figure out.

I could never get in to Fallout on the console. My first gripe was, like Oblivion, the characters all look like potatoes. Ugly ones, not the cute ones.
And then, like Oblivion, it felt so rigid after having played Skyrim. I've also noticed that Fallout, being primarily a shooter but being a kind of rough one, requires a lot more skill to maneuver in. Which is something I haven't adjusted to yet, and is still kind of Immersion-breaking.
However, the game is still not failing to catch my attention especially seeing what some mods have done for it. New Vegas, more than 3, but they still both have great communities.

((That all said, using Mod Organizer has made me think of something for DSII and, before we jump to conclusions, I'm not looking for compatibility with DSII for Mod Organizer.
I would, however, like the ability to play DSII in separate profiles. Granted there aren't a huge amount of mods available (Anymore) for DS, there are still some of the bigger ones which, unfortunately, usually share some compatibility issues.
Adepts, for example, I always wanted to play through but never got myself to do it because it's a total conversion. (And I don't like Anime, I don't think the CatMansion things fit at all) But it still had some interesting sections of it I wanted to play.
I suppose the more I think of it, the more I think it's too big a project for too little a payoff. I just find it so messy to just have another copy of the game in a separate directory to play something like that.))

Fallout is a delicate little peach, too. One screw up in the engine and the whole thing comes crashing down, which happens a lot I hear because it's a pretty meek engine to begin with. I mean, Skyrim can be messy, but at least there's less chance of getting your character oblitermerated if you know what you're doing when modding.
Still. I'm starting to grow fond of it, finally. Can't wait till I get to a second playthrough, because then I'll have learned from my mistakes in the first very much like... Every other game, right?
