New ‘Fallout: New Vegas’ Mod Gives The Strip New Life With Restored NPCs
We all love Fallout: New Vegas, but let’s be honest. There’s something missing along that New Vegas Strip: people. It’s no secret that Obsidian had to chop some things from the final game, and diehard modders have managed to put back a lot of them into the game, including PushTheWinButton’s The Strip NPCs Uncut mod, which restores NPCs that were originally meant to be populating The Strip.
As the modder explains, part of the issue for getting these NPCs back into the game was “due to difficulty in deciphering the scripts related to the Strip”. Nevertheless, this mod accomplishes that.
The Strip NPCs Uncut restores 12 NPCs, which were cut for performance issues. They don’t provide any additional quests for the player, but just add more to the atmosphere you’d expect from something like The Strip. In addition, there are supposed to be seven ‘scripted scenes’ that occur on The Strip, but given their complexity, that will have to be saved for a future update.
Those aren’t the only NPCs PushTheWinButton is planning to restore, as they’re currently making a mod which also restores cut NPCs to Freeside, as well. These NPCs were never actually placed in the game, so expect some “creative license” to be taken with this one.
Hey, if you needed another excuse to jump back into what many still feel is one of the best modern Fallout games, this is as good as any excuse. Obviously, this is for the PC version of the game, but you can snag that on Steam or GOG for pretty cheap these days.
And, if you haven’t already gotten an Xbox Game Pass, Bethesda has recently added their Fallout games to the service.
Xbox owners feeling left out over SFB Games’ throwback Survival Horror title Crow Country coming to Steam and PlayStation? Never fear, as the developer has secured an Xbox Series release via the Microsoft Store, which will launch on May 9th as the other platforms. And to celebrate, Xbox owners also get a new trailer announcing Crow Country coming to the platform alongside the PlayStation 5 and PC.
In this brand new horror inspired by classics from the original PlayStation, Crow Country takes place in the year 1990. It’s been two years since the mysterious disappearance of Edward Crow and the abrupt closure of his theme park, the eponymous Crow Country. You are Mara Forest, and you’re searching for some answers from Crow. You’ll need to venture deep into the abandoned Crow Country theme park and uncover the secrets behind its Crow’s sudden disappearance.
Crow Country will see you immerse yourself in a richly atmospheric, deeply sinister world evocative of late 90s pre-rendered graphics. You’ll need to make every bullet count as you manage limited resources and try to survive against the creatures that stalk the eerily tranquil grounds of the amusement park.
Monsters aren’t your only problem, however. Crow Country hides many secrets behind its locked gates, requiring you to overcome the gauntlet of puzzles and challenges that stand between you and the truth. And for those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere without having to battle against the inhabitants of the park, there’s the “Exploration Mode”, which switches off the combat to focus entirely on solving the mystery and exploration.
Crow Country will be available for $19.99 USD. You can also check out the demo on Steam.
