Do you make expansive arguments everytime you encounter a new opinion? It's a bethesda game. There are fantastic mods out there that fix and improve it. You can go integrate them and improve your gaming experience. Or you can not. I don't care.
The goofy thing is that you've somehow placed a 'Why would I mod my game?' argument adjacent to a 'How can you not see the benefit in modding your game?' argument.

I don't even know what you're all pissed off about Tuco. Basically I just tried to generate some interest in what I think is a cool mod that merges the two games together some people might be interested in, you came in and said "Why would I want to merge my two games, and then use that as a base for futher modding?" Which, I don't even really know where that comes from. I didn't suggest you do that. But in response I said "Well a lot of the popular mods are compatible with TTWL anyway, so check out this list" to which you got all snarky and started trying to check my Fallout Nexus fanclub card or some shit.
Then you make this retarded post where you act like I attacked you. What the fuck are you even on about?
If you don't like the idea of merging the two games together, I don't give a shit. Do what you want with your game. I just wanted people to be aware that this option now existed and its pretty cool. I don't give a shit about modding fallout.

Yeah its not something I do every time I play through the game. I heavily modded Fallout 3 back a year or two after it came out and Obsidian several times because its the only way I can play Oblivion its so mediocre
But this is the point: I never said use TTWL as a base for a shit load of other mods. I was merely responding that if stability is a concern you could LOOK THROUGH A LIST OF COMPATIBLE MODS AND SEE IF THE ONES YOU LIKE ARE THERE to help you DECIDE IF YOUD LIKE TO USE THIS MOD TOO.
Earth to Tuco: What the fuck are you on about? No one is here competing with you for king of the Fallout Mod Community at Rerolled.
One of the mods I've most desired since New Vegas' release was one that would merge the two games into one. That's what this one does. That's it. If people are interested, the link is there. That's all I was saying.

Thanks for posting a link to that, hodj. Nobody is mad at you for it. I'm not attacking you for it, I'm just apprehensive about the mod.
Here's the reason I'm apprehensive about it: Every modification you make to your game has the risk of increasing instability. Some mods have low risk (textures), some help instability (bug fixes) and some have high risk (Warzones). As you build up your game you have to weigh the value of each mod vs its risk. I personally don't see a lot of value in using FONV's engine to play FO3 and it seems like a high risk modification. If someone thinks it's the best idea ever then I recommend they try it.

Thank you for making a post clarifying what you are saying.
All I can say is that most of your issues are actually covered in the FAQ on the Tales of Two Wastelands site. Fallout 3 mods need to be converted to the new vegas file formats and shit
Here's a method for doing this
Most people experience performance improvements, particularly in Fallout 3 with this mod. Which makes sense, they're updating the Fallout 3 files to New Vegas files. Like I understand your concerns, but just a few minutes perusing the FAQ at the TTWL website I linked answers these questions for the most part.
FAQ | Tale of Two Wastelands
Note that Gamebryo's flexibility is why this is possible. There's even a port of Morrowind's game files into Oblivion and I think maybe Skyrim now. Yep. Google Morrowblivion for the Morrowind to Oblivion engine conversion.
http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/a...im-engine.aspx
Oh and Project Nevada is totally compatible, except don't use the weapons mod because it will duplicate all the guns, basically.
Also, a lot of Fallout crashes aret due to utilizing low memory amounts. If you download a 4gb .exe that helps address this issue. But I wasn't using one while playing with TTWL and had no issues with crashes at all. Rock solid.

New Vegas mods almost all work with few problems, because the New Vegas files aren't getting changed much.

Of course, its a mod, things won't go 100% but this mod has had a lot of time and effort put into it by people who've been trying to make this happen since New Vegas released. Their first attempt got shut down because of the legal issues bethesda's lawyers have with the project, hence they installer and the requirement that the games be legitimately purchased copies for the process to work.

This is actually not true, at all. In fact updating Fallout 3's files to run in New Vegas converts them to a more updated version of Gamebryo and thus makes them more stable. I'm not a tech and mods geek so I can't explain this as well as a programmer, but basically, all Bethesda games run on Gamebryo. Importing map and other files from one to another is a relatively simple process. So actually your initial impressions are founded in a lack of awareness of this fact. I hope you'll consider this and look into it more because this is actually one of the more painless (broadly speaking) modifications to the game files one can do.

That's why I generally preferred FONV's story to FO3. Obsidian does a much better job portraying the grey areas of morality and that not everything it so cut and dry. I had to put a lot more thought into the decisions I was making and often found out that things didn't go as expected. A lot of other games with morality systems, I often feel like I just go on autopilot once I decide which morality path to choose. (Going good? Always select the top dialogue option!)
I'd really love it if games could move away from these in-your-face morality systems that are constantly reminding you if you did something righteous or something evil. It detracts from the immersion. If I'm playing as a good person, my actions should be dictated by whatIfeel are good actions to take. Whether the game world agrees with that or not is another matter and one that is, ultimately, more realistic. I shouldn't feel like, "Oh shit, the game says what I did was bad. Time to reload!" I think games should find better ways of trying to drive your actions one way or another rather than an artificial bar that pops up every time you make a decision.
Games being nothing but a shade of grey are just as bad as games which force you into light or dark role.

I don't have a problem with black/white decisions, but you don't want people metagaming them just for the rewards or morality meter. Ideally, the rewards for these decisions shouldn't be quantifiable and directly comparable, like getting 500$ extra for being bad, or 500 karma for being good

I think an interesting comparison, when it comes to morality and player decisions making an impact, would be any of the FO games and Planescape: Torment. I may be crazy but there seems to be some similarity, and I did love PS:T for the dialogue, player decisions affecting the gameworld, and so much more.

Get Fallout Mod Manager and use it to load the files and launch them. Works good for me. Otherwise, crashing at start up is relating to New Vegas, not the mod, apparently.
And this would be my third suggestion

Would be my next suggestion.
