Isn't that kind of your fault for not using a better weapon though? If you use good weapons Lobotomites, Cazadors and Nightstalkers aren't bullet sponges at all. The DLC was very obviously balanced for higher level characters using very good high level equipment. One common complaint about...

The main enemies I remember being bullet sponges were the metal scorpions; the lobomoties, nightstalkers, dogs, spore carriers and regular robots not as much, where there others? With the scorpions, while they were bullet sponges, they were also slow and stupid and didn't attack too well...

Digital distribution is great for developers in a lot of ways. Obviously cuts down the second hand market, from which developer basically no profit (obviously this isn't as good for gamers as it is developers). It also cuts down overhead costs like distribution and packaging. It also created...

Food crafting is still very good later in the game if you stick to simple things like Bighorner Steak or things with more common ingredients like Desert Salad. I agree the complicated recipes like Cook Cook's or Wasteland Omelet aren't really worth it a lot of the time though. Even sticking to...

One thing that really annoyed me about Twilight Princess was the lack of any real danger from the enemies. I was pretty far in the game, had +10 hearts, multiple bottles and was in a one of the main dungeons and enemies were still only hitting me for like 1/2 or 1/4 of a heart, they would...

I think if it was marketed as "spin off" it could work, similar to how New Vegas is a spin off to Fallout 3, even though his story, setting, dialogues and quest structures actually resemble and somewhat continue the earlier games in the series, but more extreme to where combat mechanics are...

I agree, it's not hard to break sequence in Fallout 2, even for a new player without a guide. You can get Redding very early and one of the people there well tell you the general location of San Francisco; as long you aren't wiped out by random encounters on the way, which isn't too tricky with...

But would the Washington Monument magically grow a metal frame to support itself, so that you could still get a good view of it from a low priority target like the mostly intact US Capitol building?

Which would be a lot like attacking those big ugly power supplies on the backs of the power armors. In general my main point was that indestructible armor is never really indestructible as there as always weaknesses to exploit, whether it be power, vision, breathing, weapons, mobility or...

I think the key to defeating people in power armor isn't puncturing the armor, but finding a way to exploit whatever weak spot it has or the person controlling it has. In WW2, Russian infantry was often ill-equipped to deal with German tanks, but at times we able to improvise ways of...

And that is what they get for not wearing their helmets.

Like that time they signed a perfectly fair treaty with House and then attempted to assassinate him purely out of greed and that other time they allied with a crime lord to hire mercenaries to attack Vault City. I definitely don't support the Legion, but I don't see how NCR as any...

I've played it as a pretty much a pure RPG with no shooting skill at all and its been no problem for me either. What makes the game an RPG is the way the dialogue, factions and quests are set up in a way that allows you to uniquely define you character and New Vegas does that better than pretty...

It won a lot more game of the year awards than Two Worlds or Borderlands (it won at least four, plus some rpg of the year awards), so if they do release a collection I think it will probably called though GOTY. But again its not really waiting for because the base game is so cheap now (part...

In New Vegas is basically useless and best ignored; it effects Cass leaving if it is very low, getting a quest from Mortimer (which you can get other ways), the level 50 perks, a few minor comments at the end game, I think a quest from one of the NCR guys near Nelson and perhaps a few other...

The base game is so cheap now you can get it and the DLC for the roughly the same price of the GOTY version will likely cost once it is released.

At the start I usually focus more on a personality profile as opposed to stats or skills and improvise the stats and skills and perks as I go based on what I feel that character would want to improve.

The Legion are obviously the "bad guys", but what they going for them is they aren't so over the top bad, that its basically impossible to role play a character that would agree with them (like Fallout 3's Eden). You can play a fascist control freak, a warrior lifestyle thug or a misguided...

I don't think the game ever really tries to imply the Legion is the best for the Mojave. They give the Legion goals and justifications so they seem more functional and let you join them if you want, but the real debate to me at least framed is more NCR/House/Independence. Basically whether NCR...

I gained interest in Chinese history from playing Romance of the Three Kingdoms games, so there can be a place for straightforward educational content if the game play is fun. As far as teaching a lesson, I think the leaving the choice up to the player makes the game less preachy that games...
