'Fallout 4' Latest News, Updates: Team Behind Highly Anticipated 'New Vegas' Mod Clarifies Fan Misconceptions

The "Fallout 4: New Vegas" team recently came out with a statement saying the much-anticipated game modification will not be released with presets for popular visual post-processing mods such as ENB and Reshade. The reason for this, the devs state, is to keep an accessible baseline for anyone who intends to play the “Fallout 4: New Vegas” modification without hardware that can run ENB or Reshade with ease.

ENB and Reshade have been popular for games such as "Skyrim" and even as far back as "Fallout 3". The mods add additional post-processing effects such as exaggerated lens flare or color saturation options that are not usually part of the base game when it shipped.

The granular ways that players can modify the game's visual options have extended most of the game's graphical quality lifespans. Due to the community-made modification forcing the game engine to execute visual effects that may not have been intended to be implemented by Bethesda, post-processing mods such as ENB and Reshade tend to be graphics processing heavy. This can affect the base game's performance negatively if a player's hardware is incapable of rendering the desired post-processing settings.

While “Fallout 4: New Vegas” will not be released with any ENB or Reshade presets, the development team has stated that they will remain open to other such community-created post-processing presets for their own community project.

The mod developers have also addressed concerns by fans eagerly awaiting the project's release regarding the amount of darkness being showcased in the mod project screenshots. Some fans have been asking why the screenshots tended towards dark-tinged settings. “Fallout 4: New Vegas” developers have confirmed that the decrease in light for darker sections of the game is an intentional feature to make equipment, such as the NCR Veteran Ranger Helmet and the Cateye stim, more useful for their night vision-oriented qualities.

“Fallout 4: New Vegas” is an unofficial game modification project created by a community of "Fallout" fans. It aims to recreate the “Fallout: New Vegas” experience using “Fallout 4's” Creation Engine on the PC. For more information on the “Fallout 4: New Vegas” project, the development team has made an F.A.Q. available on their official website.
