with Controversy The TV series has sparked new interest in the games on which it is based, with mod hosting site Nexus Mods holding a contest for Controversy Mods, with the best new mod earning its creator a prize of a trip to Las Vegas. The contest attracted entries for the entire Bethesda-era. Controversy game-results 3, new vegas, 4, And 76-And there are some really impressive pieces of work in the show. We encourage you to download them and spend the next few weeks messing with your load order and modifying records in xEdit to make them work with the rest of your mods, just in case Bethesda releases another update that breaks everything again.
However, if all this sounds like too much nice, clean entertainment, you can also entertain yourself with some of the work of modders who took a, umm, less conservative approach to the challenge. Here are some of the funniest/weirdest/most entertaining tricks hidden deep in the list of contest entries.
Let’s start with this little gem that seeks to answer the question, “What if every time you lost in the game, you got teleported to one of 250+ locations?” What exactly? As the mod’s creator says, “Hope you’ve been saving lately!” (This is solid advice for Bethesda games in general, it must be said.)
If your game is feeling a little too safe, inject some chaos into it in the form of a script that randomizes the projectile every time the gun is fired. That’s right, every time you fire one of the guns you find in the Commonwealth – whether it’s the weird 10mm pistol you find in the starting vault, one of the clumsy pipe guns that quickly fills your inventory, or the unholy monster that somehow comes through. fallout 4Key Assault Rifle—You’ll never guess what comes out of the barrel! Would it be a very large armor-piercing .50 BMG bullet, a laser beam, or a railway spike? Who can say!?
Of course, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander, so the same applies to the guns the people shooting at you carry. Have fun out there! (Also in the comedy ammunition department: the harpoon plunger, which changes the projectile fired fallout 76Harpoon guns in toilet plungers.)
A quest mod that adds hours of Lovecraft-inspired content fallout 3‘S Point Lookout DLC. It looks legitimately cool, but it’s on this list because it takes the game’s already scary NPC models and gives them an Innsmouth look.
(Aside: If you’re not familiar with Tale of the Two Wastelands, it’s a mod that adds fallout 3game data of fallout New VegasAllows you to complete both games in a single playthrough. This is possible because both games use the same engine; new vegasThe implementation of is new and includes missing features Result 3, And it also plays well with modern computers, so many people like to play Fallout 3 this way. This means that while it is technically a mod fallout 3it requires fallout New Vegas To run. Look? It wasn’t confusing at all.)
Does your settlement require daily representation from the head of Bethesda CEO Todd Howard? look no further.
And speaking of Bethesda’s main man – with whom the community continues to have a complicated relationship – we’ll end with a mod that you can’t actually download, but is worth mentioning anyway, because it plays up the worst fears of anyone who has ever spent time with a Bethesda game. Yes, it’s Todd! Or, more specifically, it’s an animated cardboard cutout of Toad (who is somehow also a snail?) coming after them and all they hold dear. Who is laughing now?
