Ah, we are agreed. But as I've been saying, what made the tweak such a bother wasn't it's existence itself, but the fact that I was kept guessing throughout the first two hours before they made it totally clear. It could've been in any of the text-messages you receive from the file is loaded...

...It's got a goddamn name. And it doesn't matter whether his practical experiences with the place are still valid or not, he would remember them, and if he knows he's been there already then so should we. To roleplay, we have to be aware of what our character does and doesn't know. Basic...

Not the point. If you've repeatedly navigated to and from somewhere through in-numerous dangers and hardships at any time then the experience should make enough of an impression that you wouldn't disregard it completely upon return. The entire DLC still hinges on the Courier actually having...

Navigation, trading seasons, weather conditions and supply control in a post-apocalyptic world? For a "Courier", keeping track of where you are, where you've been and what you know about the destination at any given point would be crucial. Just because you can blind-walk or fast travel...

A businessman takes a 2-10 hour flight to and from wherever he goes for work, experiencing nothing to make the journey worth remembering, while the Courier would have to travel potentially thousands of miles on foot in the wasteland, running into slavers, monsters, allies and enemies every step...

It's restrictive in the specific sense, the prologue allows quite a bit of freedom RP-wise as long as you don't mind the age thing. And as prologues come, it's still a good one. But yeah. Bad example. Sorry. Gotta agree though, aside from LR, New Vegas' premise is pretty nice.

They have? Funny, it says "BETHESDA" on the covers of both Fallout 3 and New Vegas, but I've never played the others, so guess I'll have to take your word for it. Ahem... and who cares? The point still stands. And whether or not the Courier knows exactly what happened is irrelevant. If the...

I disagree. The writing is at the very, very least decent and personally I'm not at all disappointed with the DLC itself. It's just the little issue between player-character knowledge I think they handled terribly. A quick, ambiguous note -at any point before entering the divide- saying...

Well, if that's the case then I would have preferred for the game to inform me that yes, I've been to the Divide multiple times on errands before and heard rumors that the place went to hell subsequent to my last delivery there beforehand, rather than leave me guessing as to what the hell...

Well, Ulysses outright states that the Courier has some pretty personal connections to the Divide. My problem is that the Courier can't actually respond to confirm this, and a few dialogue options really do imply that s/he doesn't remember anything about it. Is there anything definitive in...

Right, I started playing New Vegas wondering, if my Courier is such a well-traveled ranger-mailman, why doesn't he seem to have the slightest idea what the f*ck is going on in the Mojave desert, where ANYTHING is located or how any of the local factions work? Wasn't much of a problem, really...
