    New Vegas, why isn't it 'great' in your opinion?

    I would not hesitate to call New Vegas great myself actually. But it depends on what context I look at it from as well. I think it's a much better Fallout game than F3 but there's still a lot of stuff that I think just doesn't fit with the universe. And the gameplay is rather far removed from...

    Holy crap, things get awesome *Vegas spoilers*

    If you're female... [spoiler:a61c5b716f]You get the option to seduce him (via some appropiately fucked up dialogue) and after you bed him, you get the option to kill him in his sleep.[/spoiler:a61c5b716f]

    Chris Avellone interview

    I'm kinda wondering whether there will be a DLC related to Joshua Graham. Afaik he's not in the game but there is a fair amount of build-up regarding his character.

    NMA Fallout: New Vegas Impression Piece

    Return to Sender didn't bother me that much. It's hardly what I'd call a great quest though. I liked that it sent me exploring a bit but it's gonna be a pain when replaying the game. Still, it's not a defense for the quest itself, but a nice thing about the game is that there's just so much to...

    Just cause its BETTER doesn't make NV perfect...

    The Legion bothers me a bit. And it annoys me because I think they had a really interesting situation going on with the choice of factions in the game. I like how both NCR and House are done. But even though there is justification for the Legion's beliefs in the game, in the end it just feels...

    Fallout: New Vegas reviews roundup #6

    That sounds fair. And yeah, these things are really personal. For me, I've got the opposite experience. F3 crashed consistantly for me (Oblivion too for that matter) over the course of a few different system. New Vegas is more stable overall, but I have more of those weird glitches like...

    Character builds?

    Female character S: 5 P: 4 E: 4 (I think) C: 8 I: 9 A: 5 L: 5 Traits: Good Natured & whatever it's called that increases accuracy but slows down firing Tags: Barter, Speech, Science Has been quite a lot of fun. Have chosen perks which affect dialogue, including Black Widow...

    JE Sawyer Formsprings #9

    While I dislike the visuals and outer appearance of the Legion, I think they are somewhat compelling. I'd personally qualify the thieves from Fallout 1 (the Underground?). I love almost everything about that game, except those guys. Not sure if one could call them a "faction" since it's such a...

    Fallout: New Vegas' bugs due to its size

    I've played for a bit and I've only had a few oddities regarding NPCs and enemies getting stuck in terrain which were things that happened in F3 for me too. The nicest thing is that I personally haven't had a single crash yet, which is a problem I had with both Oblivion and F3. Overall, New...

    Fallout: New Vegas Developer Diary #6 - The Characters

    Yeah, but it looked... pitifully easy. He didn't eve have to heal afterwards, the only real loss was a bunch of ammo. And if the player had been clever enough to use ammo that would punch through their armor it would've been even easier. Perhaps there is some difference in difficulty from the...

    Fallout: New Vegas Developer Diary #6 - The Characters

    Whelp, time to stop watching now. On one of the pre-recorded streams he made it to Freeside and I stopped watching as soon as he went into the Strip. Freeside in itself looks really good I think, feels very run-down or "slum-like", kinda like the Den or New Reno in terms of the run-down feel...

    Fallout: New Vegas Developer Diary #6 - The Characters

    I've not really followed his streams but another thing that seems promising is that, at least in the earlier parts of the game (I'm watching one of his earlier recordings), he has pretty few healing supplies. Granted, it may be due to the fact that he doesn't seem to explore every nook like I...

    Things you *aren't* pleased to see

    I don't mind the Vegas thing in itself so much, I think it'll provide a nice change of pace (with a hopefully interesting backstory). But a lot of stuff in the setting bothers me quite. Stuff like the Kings is just retarded I think. While I enjoy the idea of having a hierarchy like ancient...

    GameBanshee Fallout: New Vegas subsite launched

    I think a "talking character" will have more options across the board now really. CHR and Speech seems to the most important. But I think we'll see checks for INT as well. But I mean, Avellone mentioned somewhere a while back that Barter had some of his favorite dialogue options in the game...

    Fallout: New Vegas full voice cast

    I don't know about others but I really am not expecting what I would call a "true Fallout sequel" from the game. There's a fair amount of stuff in the game that I think I'll find pretty stupid. I'm mostly excited because it looks like a pretty damn fun FP RPG at this point and I always felt that...

    Fallout: New Vegas Developer Diary #6 - The Characters

    Watched the stream above a bit despite myself. As long as it's the beginning areas I figure I won't get too spoiled. Anyways, starts off kinda slow I think. But Goodsprings itself looks really great, it really feels like a settlement which is nice. They really caught the atmosphere of a...

    Fallout: New Vegas soundtrack blog

    Extremely interesting read. My biggest fear personally is that the "liked" vs "hostile" pieces will feel too over-the-top or overbearing. But I am personally a big fan of the string quartet inclusion and think it, while not in tune with the older Fallouts, bring a soundscape that could still...

    Fallout: New Vegas news round-up

    Would've been really nice to have that built into the game, agreed. Had really hoped they'd include it for New Vegas, but meh. At least it'll probably be one of the first things modded in.

    G4TV Fallout: New Vegas quest walkthrough

    I'm not terribly impressed myself with what is shown of the quest (though kinda reminds me of the whole Doc Morbid business a bit), but there appears to be a rather substantial amount cut out. We also don't know what solutions it will have. It's also nice that there seems to be pre-requisites...

    G4TV Fallout: New Vegas quest walkthrough

    I think everything does feel rather more alive than F3, which is great. The interiors here look pretty good in particular. The voiceacting is great, only time it stumbles is when the old guy is talking to the Securitron where you have that old problem that, yeah... It doesn't feel like these...
