This Fallout: New Vegas mod cleans up the Strip, taking it back to ‘its original concept’
Okay, it's confession time. Who else felt a little underwhelmed when they first entered the Strip in Fallout: New Vegas? The game is magnificent in pretty much every way – and we are playing a post-apocalyptic game set after a nuclear war – but it does feel like the game's biggest feature needs a bit of freshening up. Nexus Mods user Qolore7 evidently felt the same way. Bringing us a more cleaned-up version of the famous location, "Lived-In Strip" intends to breathe new life into Fallout: New Vegas' brightly lit and somewhat seedy landmark. It attempts to bring it "closer to its original concept," cleaning the Strip up to make it look that extra bit more enticing to tourists. Image via Qolore7/Nexus Mods In addition, Qolore7 says the mod not only adds a little zest to the Strip but also does so without compromising your PC's performance. In fact, they say it may even offer a better frame rate than the vanilla version due to the "large number of excessive draw-calls removed." New-New Vegas It still very much looks like the gambler's paradise that New Vegas is known for, but the screenshots on the Nexus Mods page show the differences between the standard look and what Qolore7 has achieved. New Vegas is typically held aloft as the greatest Fallout game ever, representing some of Obsidian Entertainment's best work. Despite looking its age these days (it did come out in 2010, after all), one of the game's strongest assets is its writing, combined with its dark sense of humor. Bethesda may have reinvented the series, but it was Obsidian that gave us its most celebrated entry. It's a good time for Obsidian. The developer is no doubt patting itself on the back after the recent release of Avowed. The fantasy RPG set in the Pillars of Eternity universe has been getting some pretty good reviews since launching in February, but it's going to take some beating to stand up to the might of Fallout: New Vegas.
