Fallout: New Vegas
 

<insert relevant comments here>


Not one of my own, and not a definetive verdict, but definetly a bit of early warning:

Fallout: New Vegas, Old Obsidian

I would expect some sort of patch support. Hopefully. Maybe?

I've played through the character creation tutorial. It's a carbon copy of Fallout 3 in look and feel. I was expecting as much from the screenshots and previews I'd seen, but still a bit of a letdown.

Are the animations any better, as far as you (or anyone I guess) can tell? The one thing that really bugged me about FO3 was the goofy animations :nope:

Fallout New Vegas will have DLC exclusive to 360, again.

Hopefully, yeah.

Would love some more Fallout, but having Obsidian at the helm changed it from "day-1" to "maybe". I don't know if it's sloppy coding or lacking quality control, but it always comes out rather broken lately. :(
Oh, how nice. Fair, too. :shifty:

Best bet is to wait until the GOTY edition.

I guess so... maybe I'll even have completed the story and DLC from FO3 by that time. :D

So no DLC for PC? Bollocks. (Borrowing from you Brits and Aussies) My copy won't be arriving until tomorrow, but this news really dampens my enthusiasm for the game.

If your patient enough, heck ya. From the sounds of things, i'll wait and see if i get a copy as xmas gift.

After putting in 3 or 4 hours this evening, I haven't seen any game breaking bugs. I did notice a bit of the AI behavior where NPCs would run in fear and you had to chase them down to talk to them, but it wasn't all the time.

The way accuracy with guns is handled is nice - I'm not sure if it's because I'm playing on hardcore mode or not, but the way that your aim will waiver while looking down the iron sights is nifty. I'm finding myself not all that great with firearms of any sort...I only have a 30 or so skill in them, and it shows. Nice touch.

The crafting system is interesting. I haven't used it a lot aside from some tinkering with ammo, but it seems to have some potential to be useful.

The storyline is getting a bit muddled for me. Maybe I'm just getting sleepy.

That worries me. Without giving spoilers, which faction(s) are you working for? I almost always play as an evil character and will likely be siding with Caesar's Legion at some point. If the story ends up getting dodgy, I hope it isn't that way for all of the faction quests. My own selfishness would tolerate some strangeness with the NCR quests because I probably am not going to play those very often.

I like to play goodies, so I'm heading down the path of working with the NCR. It's no spoiler, but at this one point you're at a NCR outpost and the troops stationed there are talking to you about NCR internal politics and leadership like I should know who the people they're talking about are. Maybe I wasn't paying good enough attention, maybe I skipped something I shouldn't have, but I was just kind of "huh?" It doesn't seem integral to the story (yet, if at all) but I just got lost.

That being said, I was up past my bedtime, so I'm going to chalk it up to that for now.

One of the creepiest things I've ever seen: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2010...ools-released/
And yes, mod tools released. Yay!
