MOD: New Vegas Interface "Revelation"

Although I've been busy playing this beautiful game, I also checked the New Vegas Nexus, a sister-site to The Elder Scrolls Nexus, which is, hands down, the best source for mods for games published by Bethesda. So I stumbled upon this interface-mod. What it does? It changes the appaerance of the ingame-menues using graphics from older Fallout-games. In my opinion it fits better into the game than the default menues, which are kinda boring, but that is just my taste. Another benefit of this mod is the fact that it also enhances menues. See, in the normal version of the game, there are only like three choices displayed during dialogs, if you want to see the other choices you have to scroll. Using this mod allows you to view eight or nine, if I'm not mistaken.

FIX: Mouse Lag/Acceleration in Fallout New Vegas

First of all I have to apologize, my PC broke down on me so I had to play "Fresh Installation Of Windows 7 And Afterwards Installing All Important Programs Anew". FIOW7AAIAIPA is truly a great game, easy a 10/10.

So that's the reason why there was no update yesterday.

And since I lost my few-hours-into-the-game Fallout New Vegas character I have only time for a small update because I HAVE to play that game, it is just that good.

The hint is a fix for a very annoying bug in F:NV regarding the mouse acceleration: the mouse actually lags. Some may have experienced it, some may not, I have. And it really was a pain in the ass. 

BUT! 

there is an easy way to fix this, all you have to do is to add 

fForegroundMouseAccelBase=0
fForegroundMouseAccelTop=0
fForegroundMouseBase=0
fForegroundMouseMult=0

at a certain point in two .ini-files. The first file is located in the F:NV-folder and it's called Fallout_default.ini. You have to search for the [Controls] part in the .ini and then just copy-paste the above lines at the end of that block.

The second .ini you have to change is located in your My Games directory. Somewhere like C:\Users\<your name\Documents\My Games\FalloutNV. This one is just called Fallout.ini. Make sure that the file isn't write-only, search again for the [Controls] part in the file and add the lines.

Congratulations, you are now mouse-lag-free. 

PREVIEW: Fallout: New Vegas

So I recently got my hands on Fallout: New Vegas and I'm really excited. I'm not that far into the game, but playing it on hardcore is just so much fun, i really don't want to stop playing it. But i gotta admit, don't expect a full review in the next few days, that wouldn't do the game justice. In my opinion a game needs its time, and since I'm not the fastest player out there, the review has to wait a bit. 

But I can already tell that this will be another 8 or 9.

Depends on how the story is written. Maybe it really need more than one playthrough. Time will tell.

Go play it too!
