We all love Fallout: New Vegas, but let’s be honest. There’s something missing along that New Vegas Strip: people. It’s no secret that Obsidian had to chop some things from the final game, and diehard modders have managed to put back a lot of them into the game, including PushTheWinButton’s The Strip NPCs Uncut mod, which restores NPCs that were originally meant to be populating The Strip. As the modder explains, part of the issue for getting these NPCs back into the game was “due to difficulty in deciphering the...
