    Fallout: New Vegas Developer Diary #4 - The Factions

    While he is making an assumption, it isn't exactly unreasonable from what we have seen and heard. My current impression is as he stated, CL will be the evil faction and NCR the good guys. Then to muddy the moral waters, NCR is be overly controlling of their populace and their leader in the...

    Fallout: New Vegas Developer Diary #4 - The Factions

    At the end J Sawyer states, "You can decide, you know what I don't think any of you are particularly well suited to be running this place, so I'm going to fix that. That's where you are essentially the active champion of Vegas, or you basically just said it's anarchy now." I hope that...

    10 minutes of Fallout: New Vegas

    No offense, but I don't really care for the idea. Sure science should influence the ability to build/modify energy weapons or recover ammo (really it could do the same for conventional weapons), but it has nothing to do with being able to effectively kill with them. Energy weapons of every...

    GDC Online: Obsidian presentation on Fallout: New Vegas

    You may not have seen the cars as anti-immersive, but there are many who did. There are probably a couple hundred cars in FO3 that can cause nuclear explosions. Some complain about why they still have juice, I don't care so much about that - some sort of super long lasting nuclear...

    10 minutes of Fallout: New Vegas

    I know that in many games this whole first 10 minutes thing can be true...but this is totally different. This 10 minute video is a couple minutes of video, then the beginning of the tutorial portion of the game. Try as developers may, they can't really make a tutorial the best 10 minutes...

    Will Fallout 3 be remembered?

    I voted, of "course it will look at the sales." But I also agree that the people who now claim to 'remember it fondly' are just remembering seeing slow motion exploding body parts and toying with mini-nuke launchers. They will have zero interest in playing the game within 2 years if not...

    Mods you already want for NV?

    I read "Dies the Fire" by S.M. Stirling in August. It presents a completely different post-apocalyptic universe that Fallout (in his all electricity and most explosives stopped working), but these was something that both should have and that's plausibility. Sure in Stirling's novel you could...

    Fallout: New Vegas gameplay video, contest

    I'm sure I'm in the minority here (after all bloody mess was included even in the isometric Fallouts) but I just don't appreciate the exploding heads, severed limbs, etc...at all. I Fallout 2, I remember seeing it and kinda laughing, it was like seeing Warhammer 40K figures blowing each other...

    Your Easter Egg Ideas.

    I get the feeling even you don't like your idea by the time you finished writing your sentence or something. [joke] But really, didn't they just post that the only person from Fallout 3 would be ED-E or some such name for the little hover bot that's in the promo. I think I'm okay without...

    Fallout New Vegas Developer Diary #3 - Art Direction

    I'm honestly not fully versed in what's been revealed about the story, so I could be off; but... I don't think attacking the dam is only worth it if you need it to power a huge rival grid of your own. Could it not also be reasonable to take the dam to deny power to your enemies. Thus...

    Snowglobes.

    I'm not to sure what they would do it not buff stats. The use of "permanently" leaves the chance of temporary buffs, but that's kinda lame as either an hours latter the globe is useless or else I carry it around and keep shaking it for +10 science like some non-pharmacologic Mentats. Worse...

    Should a very smart character have access to stupid dialogue

    I like this idea too, though I'd think it could just depend on speech skill as to whether it sounded genuinely ignorant or fake. If not speech, what other skill would be used to show ability to con? Charisma perhaps.

    Your Easter Egg Ideas.

    Having just watched "The Goon" movie trailer from Comic-Con, I'd love to see a reference to their universe. It fits Fallout pretty well with ghouls, bars/alcohol, gangs, violence, etc... Simply a pairing of the Goon and Franky at the bar with a couple funny lines would be funny. An actual...
