Fallout 4 New Vegas is aiming to rebuild the entire New Vegas experience in Fallout 4's Creation Engine. You'll once again be able to explore the Mojave, visit the town of Goodsprings, take part in the second Battle of Hoover Dam & experience content which was cut from the original.
Like many games built on the Gamebryo engine, PC versions of Fallout: New Vegas includes a command console that you can use to change various game aspects and functions, such as adding and removing items, changing object sizes and modifying or disabling NPC behavior, to give but a few examples.While there are many Fallout: New Vegas console commands, however, only a select few are of interest, as many others are used for debugging purposes or perform abstract functions that will have little to no effect. Select others also have functions and features only apparent after extended use, and many Fallout: New Vegas console command lists oftentimes fail to elaborate on the hidden functions of some of these commands.
Activating and Using the Fallout: New Vegas Command ConsoleUsing most Fallout: New Vegas console commands is as simple as hitting the Tilde or '`' key on your keyboard. After pressing the Tilde key, your game will pause and the command console will be awaiting your command. Type a command at the command will appear in the bottom-right corner of the screen; press Enter to submit the command.
Some commands require that a target be selected: move your mouse around the screen and click on an object to target it.The object's information will appear at the top of the screen to confirm that the object's been selected. If the object name is blank, appearing as ' at the top of the screen, you've selected a static environment object such as a table or wall.
Make sure you've selected an object like a doorway, container or character when using target-specific console commands, as the commands won't work otherwise. Note that Steam achievements will be disabled for that particular gaming session once the command console has been activated, so make your changes and restart Fallout: New Vegas to re-enable achievemenst. Additem X YAdds an item to the selected object, where X is the item's code and Y is a quantity. Leaving out a value for Y will create one copy of the designated item.
Sets the selected object's size as a multiple of the object's baseline size as dictated by its model, where X is a positive number. Objects can be scaled to as small as.1 or as massive as 10, and the object's movement speed and viewpoint will be affected by the change in size.Useful if you want to cross large swaths of land in a hurry, but extremely dangerous: movement speed is changed in accordance with the value used, but falling damage is not, and it's very easy to fall to your death by running off a cliff that barely comes to your ankle. Set Timescale to XSets the flow of time, where X is a multiplier of the normal rate of time we experience. 'Set timescale to 5,' for example, would set the in-game time rate to five times our normal time rate. TAI: Toggle Artificial IntelligenceToggles NPC AI routines, including scheduling and social and combat behaviors.
NPCs will stand in one place and do nothing until the command is entered again. 'TCAI' operates on a similar principle, but only disables NPC combat behavior, preventing them from fighting. TCL: Toggle ClippingToggles clipping, allowing you to float and move through area geometry at will.
You can increase and decrease your altitude by looking up and down as you move, though you will always have at least some forward motion even if looking straight up. Very handy if you just want to get somewhere without having to navigate a bunch of obstacles. TFC: Toggle Free CameraLocks your character in place and switches camera controls to free mode, allowing you to move it around without restriction. Useful for taking pictures of your character in situations where the normal camera simply doesn't do it, such as if your character has been enlarged due to the Setscale command. 'TFC' by itself will engage the free camera, but 'TFC 1' will also freeze all game activity, including animations.
You can change the camera's movement speed with the 'SUCSM X' command, where X is a multiplier of the camera's normal speed. TFOW: Toggle Fog of WarRemoves the fog of war from your local map, allowing you to see all terrain features in the cell. Entering the command a second time will hide any features revealed by the removal of the fog but will leave naturally-discovered features visible. TMM X: Toggle Map MarkersToggle Map Markers: Causes all full map markers to appear on your map, allowing you to fast-travel to them at will. 'TMM 1' will cause map markers to appear while 'TMM 0' will remove all map markers from your map, allowing you to rediscover them.
Unlock and LockUnlocks the selected object, be it a chest or a computer terminal. You can also lock objects again by using the 'Lock X' command where X is a zero or a positive value. 0 will lock the object with a Very Easy lock, 1-25 will lock with an Easy lock, 26-50 will lock with a Normal lock, 51-75 will lock with a Hard lock, 76-100 will lock with a Very Hard Lock, and 101 or higher will lock the object and require a key to unlock it.

The Fallout series is known for being innovative, interactive, and accessible to many gamers through use of great writing, gameplay, and overall atmosphere. It's one of my all-time favorite games out there, and I'm not alone in that. Bethesda kicks some major butt in making an environment that is immersive, realistic, and makes it feel like we have landed right in the middle of a nuclear wasteland. The characters are dynamic, the choices feel real, and the radio is the perfect soundtrack to wandering.
As a series, it's just great. Via: youtube.comLook at this cute-ass German Shepard, all armored out and cute.
What does New Vegas have to offer? A robot dog with a gross exposed brain who is one of the most useless companions (useless, but nevertheless one of my favorite choices anyways, because dogs).
Dogmeat is everything Rex wishes he was. He can disarm mines, retrieve items, detect enemies, and there isn't a single quest about trying to get Dogmeat a new brain. Dogmeat is the ultimate doggo, able to take down raiders and eat bullets like they are kibble. The best part is, when an enemy downs Dogmeat in Fallout 4, pop a stimpack in ya boi and he's ready to eat more bullets to save you. Rex, on the other hand, is about as tanky as, so he'll spend more of the game passed out and waiting for you to finish the fight. If you're playing on Hardcore mode, he might even die; then you'll be stuck trying to reload your last save, just so you can live with yourself. Via: youtube.com (GOSUnOOb)There's just nothing like a baseball bat with attached saw blades for kicking some Raider or Ghoul butt with some style.
New Vegas changed the Fallout series by adding modifications to guns, which opened up the Mojave to some new combat options. Fallout 4 took that idea, and gave it a syringe full of steroids. Multiple options for barrels, scopes, stocks, magazines; you name it, you can probably strap it to your gun.
Prefer.45 over.50? You can convert your rifle to your ammunition needs. Plus, the ability to name your guns adds a touch of class to any arsenal: my legendary, double projectile.44 Magnum was named Darla's Butt, after one of the best butts in the Commonwealth. Regardless of your opinion about my ex's butt, you can agree the ability to customize a gun down to the name gives a welcome extra layer of depth. Via: youtube.comArmor makes the man (or woman) in the Wasteland and the Mojave. When you start taking bullets from all directions, you're gonna want something you feel confident can stop a bullet from point blank range. The armor got a cosmetic boost as well as a major boost in customization in the jump from New Vegas to Fallout 4. This works similarly to the guns; you're given the ability to completely customize your armor, down to what it has resistance to and the paint job.
This allows you to create your own personal armor and hand-tailor it for the situation you plan on running into, guns blazing. Rather than scrounging for the one armor set worth a damn in the Mojave, you can make sure whatever armor you pick up is the best it can be using the supplies you've got. This makes the superior choice in armor customization, which will help you survive the Commonwealth. Via: gameranx.comOld World Blues and The Burned Man were decent DLCs in New Vegas. They added a bit of plot, one or two new guns, and an outfit or two. They were good, but Fallout 4's DLC is insanely good. New Vegas gave you a canyon and a 9mm, while Fallout 4 gave you a re-imagined theme park, a harbor in Maine with a threat worse than a radiation storm, and the ability to make your own robot companions, among other things.
That is what DLC should be! Fallout 4 added new mechanics, new perks, and a refreshing new plot. The effort that clearly went into the DLCs was obviously greater in Fallout 4 than it was in New Vegas, making the choice in the two games pretty clear when it comes to additional content. Via: youtube.comNow this may seem like a small detail to most people. I mean, we're talking about a change in one enemy out of a few hundred character changes.
The changes made to the feral ghouls were literally jaw-droppingly shocking. They didn't just update the skin, reskin the model, or improve the graphics; they changed the personality, the movement, and the entire feel of the creature. These ferals now sprint, like Usain Bolt heading to the finish line, and dive and twist with the agility of a puma. They are, without a doubt, the most terrifying parts of the game. In 3 and New Vegas, ferals were anything but dangerous.
But in 4, a horde of feral ghouls have the ability to rip apart your power armor. These kinds of dramatic changes in character movement and development are exactly why Fallout 4 is better than New Vegas. Via: youtube.comIn any Fallout game power armor is the ultimate accessory for any player, and it's certified in making you look like a badass. Finding power armor and getting power armor training in New Vegas is quite the pain in the ass. The Brotherhood of Steel or the Brotherhood Outcasts are just about your only shot at obtaining power armor, and both are hard to find or show up very late game.
It only emulates a handful of wired network cards.In your case, the network card VirtualBox is emulating for your Windows 8.1 Virtual Machine is an Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM) (unless you purposefully changed that setting).Still, you should be able to get perfect network/internet access in your Virtual Machine. I downloaded the Windows 8.1 preview software and so far it works well.Now I want to test the wifi connection but it seems there is no way to connect to wifi in Windows 8.1 preview software. 
Ah yes, well, VirtualBox doesn't emulate a wireless network device. Which means something's not configured right. There is now wifi option in the side bar like there is in Wondows 8 and the only internet connection that shows up even in 'view networks' is an unknown Ethernet connetion that despite me not having plugged in an Ethernet say it's 'Limited'My question is I'm using Windows 8.1 preview in an Oracle VM VirtualBox virtual pc, how do I connect to wifi?Anyone who can answer this must be a god among computers.
Fallout 4 on the other hand has a new take on power armor, making the armor more widely available (seriously, it's everywhere) as well as offering more customization. Power armor is now a psudeo-Iron Man suit of apocalyptic superiority. With multiple variations and limited charge time (screw fusion cores), this adds a dynamic to using power armor that New Vegas just doesn't bring to the table. Via: youtube.comSpeaking of power armor: Ad Victoriam, brothers. While some tend to hate the near Fascist command that the Brotherhood took on in Fallout 4, I was just glad to see them brought back into the main plot. The Brotherhood is one of the most interesting and deep factions within the series, showing up in nearly every installment of the game.
Yet in New Vegas I always felt like the Brotherhood was underrepresented. They are confined to an underground hole, difficult to find, hard to work with, and the payoff doesn't feel that satisfying. The Brotherhood in 4 is the Brotherhood I remember fondly. They arrive in an airship and start droppin' Vertibirds and Paladins like it's nobody's business. The Brotherhood feels like an intimidating force not to be messed with in 4; in New Vegas they feel like some upset children hiding from reality. Via: imgur.comSurvival Mode in Fallout 4 is the Dark Souls of the Fallout universe.
Between saving only when you find a bed, limited ammo, double damage dealt and received, suffering through dehydration and hunger while trying not to die of radiation poisoning. It's as close to the nuclear apocalypse as I would ever like to be. The Survival Mode in 4 is dynamic, new and refreshing. While New Vegas' Survival Mode just feels tedious and obnoxious.
With no real change to combat, the realism of being dehydrated is immediately taken away by having to dump 1,000 10mm rounds into a raider's head before they are killed. Not to mention, 99% of everything seems to debuff you to the point of wishing Benny left you dead in that ditch. Via: bethesda.comThe whole world of Fallout 4 has more of that 1940s feel to it that just hasn't been in other Fallout installments.
Rather than just a green or sepia filter over the world to give it a general feeling of 'apocalypse', the bright colors contrast beautifully with the dead wasteland surrounding them. Fallout 4 gives the player moments where things will send you back to memory lane, like seeing an intact toy that looks out of place in a feral ghoul den. Meanwhile, New Vegas just seems to have a drab sepia tone washing over the whole game that doesn't give the same amount of immersion that Fallout 4 offers. Fallout 4 has that feeling of an antique shop with preserved junk, while New Vegas has the feeling of finding a dirty sock buried in the desert. Via: Accelerated IdeasThe whole point of a Fallout game is to explore. You're encouraged to look in every nook and cranny, and search every jetted-out addict's body to find every piece of scroungeable loot possible.
Eventually, after about 125 hours (once you've started questioning why you haven't showered in a week), you've probably seen all you can see, and killed everyone you can kill. So, why not extend that timeframe by exponentially increasing the size of the map?
As you can see in the image above, Fallout 4 has the largest map in Fallout history. You get far more bang for your buck, and this doesn't even include the full maps of Far Harbor and Nuka World, which add hours of exploring and make your vault dweller into the perfect scavenger. Easy pick with this one.
Via: fallout.wikia.com'Come Fly With Me' is one of the most frustrating and hated quests I've ever played. The quest takes forever, even if you know where everything is. New Vegas is packed full of bullsh.t quests that make the grind ever so real.
Whether it's killing hundreds of ghouls for Vargas or running around doing meaningless tasks for the Brotherhood of Steel, New Vegas is just full of quests we don't want to be doing. Fallout 4 has gotten rid of these long pointless questlines, and instead replaced them with plot related quests or quests to help expand immersion. While Preston Garvey has been bashed on (rightfully so) for his constant harassment of the player, at least his quests have a purpose other than grinding for the sake of grinding. This is just another reason the most recent installation is the clear choice for the best Fallout. Via: youtube.comThe facial customization in Fallout 4 is unmatched by any game out there, and I will fight you on this. This is the game with the most detailed facial animations, mixed with the best customization to make your character exactly what you want him to be.
New Vegas Map Fallout 2
For a game so focused on conversation and interaction, the ability to make your character look and feel real is worth the extra mile. New Vegas was a generation behind, but even for its time it was not the leader in animation or realism. Characters you made in New Vegas would look great in the character creator, but awful in the actual game. Outdid New Vegas easily in that respect, and it's hard to say if any game will outdo the level of detail and customization Fallout 4 puts in the players hands.
Hey, bonus points if you can tell who these two characters are based off of! Here's a hint: why so serious? If you didn't get it from that hint, I have nothing left for you, and you may not call yourself a nerd in my presence. Via: fallout.wikia.comThe whole plot of New Vegas is a stretch at best. From taking a bullet to the head, surviving that (somehow), surviving the almost guaranteed infection, and finding the man who did the job in an ever expanding Wasteland, the Courier does it all, with no motivation other than the promise of revenge. To go from this to somehow ruling the Mojave makes almost no sense whatsoever. But has a classic story that runs throughout the entire game. You're emotionally invested in the character from the beginning, after watching your spouse die.
Interactive New Vegas Map
Find your son. Anyone can get behind that plot, and would take on an army of Super Mutants to get their child back. The twists and plot points are all going toward that one goal, which keeps you pressing on through the Commonwealth.
Via: youtube.comPerks make the Fallout world go round, and Fallout 4 has the coolest way of picking your perks, offers the most perks, and gives the most description on what those perks will actually do to benefit the Lone Survivor. The diversity between the perks and the games is one of the paramount points in why Fallout 4 is the superior choice. The perks in New Vegas seem helpful at best, but hardly game-changing. Fallout 4 on the other hand introduces game changers.
There are ways to make Dogmeat hold and enemy for you, craft stronger armor and weapons, and the classics like lock-picking and Bloody Mess make an appearance. The animations add an extra layer of vintage fun to the game. Watching a smiling little Vault-Boy play Jesus in the Life Giver perk is worth the $60 on its own. Via: Business InsiderWhile some people hated the Minecraft resembling building system in 4, it was definitely innovative and leaves New Vegas in the dust.
Being able to customize whole areas as you go definitely adds to the immersion of the game; these places start to feel like a home and like they're yours. This feature is honestly a whole game in itself with the depth it reaches. Every player of this game has a settlement that they've made into a home, and people get really attached to their creations and spend tons of time building them up and decorating their houses.
It's like The Sims meets Fallout! In DLCs they've added the ability to build your own Vaults, create contraptions that defy gravity and physics, and even catch and release Deathclaws in your own Thunderdrome arena! Two games in one is the best reason Fallout 4 will always come out on top compared to New Vegas.
