Mind you this was on win7 - back when I did it MS had just shat out some larger update that fucked up NVAC for win10 users, something to do with OS memory allocation. The difference was pretty significant when I copied over the mod loadout to another computer with pretty much the same hardware (better cpu, slightly worse gpu), it was still playable but there was some CTD - none on win7.
I think it's been fixed since, but NV can be a mystical thing so ymmv.
It is important to separate mod conflict crashes and engine-level fuckery though, a lot of older mods (even the ones you'll often find in old must have mods!1 lists) are pretty crap. You really gotta go through your modlist one by one in FNVEdit and see what they actually do, and solve the conflicts the automatic tools can't handle properly.

For what it's worth, I finished a NV playthrough a couple of months ago on Win10 following that guide and everything went surprisingly well. I did however install just a few substantial mods (the usual Project Nevada, Nevada Skies, EVE, unifiedHUD, Weapon mods + animations, Enhanced camera, plus minor ones, tweaks and a custom ENB) alongside the texture mods - but nothing that added new quests/characters so it was pretty much a very enhanced vanilla.
The framerate was 60fps smooth in all the places except for The Strip, though my processor is nearly as old as the game itself which doesn't help. Not that it matters in New Vegas anyway, the game truly is a black box of complete randomness when it comes to performance

Forget it, I  'ed 
Thought the link was for TTW itself, that was what I was going after at the time. Well, the FO3 part was.
And yeah, even with the original FO3 it's just better to play it on Win7 since unfortunately the best fixes from the stutter remover seem to crash with Win10 and it's hard to figure out if it's due to the mess that FO3 was or from the changes from Win10 vs Win 7.
Played DUST a few months back again, already in Win10 and everything was just fine.

I'm waiting until Outer Worlds is released, the current library looks pretty bad IMO.

Yeah that's why I didn't activate mine yet, if you did right now you'd still have a few days left after OW gets released, but I'd rather take my time with it than rush it through because the free sub was about to end.

AMD CPU? 
But it really is a stable-with-a-few-rare-crashes or crash-crash-crash kind of game, somehow I always luck out towards the former
You SHOULD use nvse + its memory patch, stutter remover, nvac and zen's purge for maximum stability though.

Intel 8th gen CPU.
I tried using NVSE, it's patch, stutter remover etc. but I couldn't even start the damn thing since I got a steam-error whenever I tried using the NVSE-launcher or the Vortex-launcher or whatever. And of course, starting the game legit means any NVSE-content is broken since NVSE isn't loaded.

Just finished Prey and man, what a game. Easily worth the $6 or so I paid for it. Also playing Slay the Spire, Warhammer 40:k Mechanicus and just getting started on Dishonored 2. All have been great thus far.

Nope, throws a steam-error. Spent a lot of time duckduckgo'ing the net following various advice and tricks to get things working but nope. I may have to just blow my system drive and install everything from scratch since it's been years of tinkering with services, registry and stuff to disable whatever, streamline whatever, tweak whatever. However, most other games show no such issues so I don't think it's my Win10 system.

Over and over and over again whether I run pure vanilla or with some simple texture mods (or with all the patch/fix stuff available). I couldn't launch the game in any other way than using the Steam launcher.
But I'm done. I've uninstalled it and won't spend more time on it.
Thanks to Morphineus it's finally time for me to put my teeth into Kingdom Come Deliverance.

Heard the series as such is really good but with some installments stuck in localization hell and such but eh happens to longer running game series and these games have been around since at least the SNES / Super Famicom.
Going back to some of the classics on Windows PC would be fun too but for now it's just dealing with the existing backlogged titles before starting anything new, gameplay probably hasn't held up but some of the older titles are still fun even if it takes a while to get familiar with it again.

Well, with the surge 2 coming out soon I gave the original a go since the first playthrough was without the DLC. The thing is... it got really boring just before the end (right before the final boss) so probably not finishing it anytime soon.
Decided to do the same with lords of the fallen and well, I'm liking that one much better. Shame that the possible sequel was canned

Diablo 3 a bit.
Bought Shadow of War Definitive Edition for 12€, so should play that a bit, too (just went through the intro part so far).
Gave up on Battlefleet Gothic 2, since it keeps crashing during the campaign, making progress impossible...
Also wanted to give Remnant some more time...
too much to play, not enough time!

Undermine
Shortest Trip to Earth
Both very nice indie games. Undermine is EA, but it's very playable and cheap (12 bucks).
There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.

One of my bigger gripes with jrpg's. They seem very capable of writing a very good premise. Super interesting and lively with good characters, but then.... It just becomes boring or they take away what made the premise so good to begin with... And then the end is usually good if it's wrapped up properly and not over the top god shit (most are just that unfortunately)

Yeah I'm not that good at explaining it but that's been a recurring thing with many older JRPG's and even the newer ones.
I assume time and budget factored in as the development shifted from 8 to 16 and then 32 bit systems and a focus on visuals and style but there's so many where it just feels like it falls apart during the later half or last act of the game and it's still a common issue or how to call it.
For Grandia 1 it starts out fairly standard coming of age and growing up and going on a journey that sort of thing but then the game has quite a shift in both tone and progression by the end of the first disc moving into finding something of a plot point and now it's down to being a hero and becoming the chosen one suddenly though the writing at least tries to set it up a bit less cliche wise and not being born as a chosen one or anything like that.
In effect some of the adventure and sense of exploration and grandness is a bit lost though the later parts of the game do have interesting scenes and sights but it's a bit of a flaw overall.
Still as said it is very common and also very mixed in how it's received, wasn't a fan of Dragon Quest XI's last act doing what it did but others absolutely loved it though I can see some of the appeal but it started to feel like excessive padding almost though you do get the option to just hop over a lot of it too should the player so choose.
EDIT: Also not exclusive to newer games or just JRPG's but they're a common recurring game genre with this particular problem and the start of the 32-bit era and more modern game really shook things up as I understand it.
But that happened with the west and traditional RPG's as well to a large extent and some series and studios just weren't prepared and went under as a result of the shift.
(Increase in cost and longer dev times must have been a huge factor and from 2D to 3D and then fully 3D can't have been a smooth transition at all.)

I cannot stop playing Hearts of Iron 4. Ever since my coworker showed me how the mechanics worked, I've been on it every single day for over a month and a half now. Currently playing as Democratic China after unifying everyone and pushing the Germans back after they took the USSR. My next two games will probably be as France and Canada.
