Also, the Pack Rat perk seemed really useful, especially on Hardcore Mode, but the skill requirement of 70 barter is very harsh.

90 hours in, level 30, plenty of quests done and still more to do, and I've only just last night confronted Benny. I'm really loving the game a lot, but have to say that my heart has dropped a few times due to the lacklustre interior building designs. Going around the soulless Kings building...

The location is called 'Wrecked Highwayman' in the southeast of the world map, and - from the Wiki - directly Northwest of Snyder Prospector Camp and Southwest of Clark Field off of Highway 95. It is a crater like area with a rusty car in the middle. You can find energy weapon ammo and, if I...

Thanks for putting this up, Nuka X. The map markers are so unclear sometimes, and I wish they gave them different colours or something especially when you have like 6 of them at a time. I absolutely HATE going through the Vaults (and most multi-level dark places really. Hidden Valley I'm...

They've just given NPCs more personality and depth overall, and it adds a lot to help set the mood for a town. Even the supermutants have personalities like in FO1 and 2, instead of being mindless, hostile enemies with the exception of Fawkes in FO3. Plus I think that with the variety of options...

I feel the same way about the sentiments that some places feel unfinished, having just made it to Freeside and at level 25 spending 40 hours already. At the start of the game at Goodsprings and going past Primm, Mojave Outpost, Nelson and Camp Forlorn Hope etc I quite liked the design of the...

I'm absolutely loving it, bugs and all. I wished that there would be lots of direct references to Fallout 2, and sure enough there are. I wanted trademark humour, and there it is - Dr Ava Strauss in Primm is a crackup :) I even wanted the Chosen One's broken down Highwayman to be in the...

Wasn't JE Sawyer saying in the lead-up in some interview that they'd figured out a way to prevent the player from doing this save-fail-reload-try again thing? Does anyone recall this? I wish I could man up and accept the consequences of getting busted stealing, but man, when it turns an...

Picking up my copy today, spent a couple hours last night on youtube looking up early footage just for a fix =) Hearing Arroyo music when the dude was shooting geckos for Sunny Smiles...fantastic :) It's little touches like that that bring about that nice, warm fuzzy feeling. I love...

On that note, with FO3 I noticed that the game would lock up severely when there wasn't very much HD space left on the console. My 360 is one of the 20 gig varieties, and ultimately when one of my FO3 save games got to about 10-20mb, just loading it up would cause massive, unplayable slowdown...

I can't help but think that there's some anti-Obsidian bias with these reviews. Note also how pre-release there were so many mistakes with even major sites saying that FNV was developed by Beth, but now there are criticisms, they bring up Alpha Protocol et al. If this was a Rockstar game or...

Oh man, that Gamepro review gets more and more embarassing as you read through it. They've gotta be kidding, what a revelation! What else, the game is a bit too hard on Very Hard?

Thanks for posting these Brother None, and yeah, completely agreed about Day 1 reviews. Honestly, for a 100+ hour game I'd much rather reviewers took their time with the game and posted their thoughts upon completion, with no rush, no deadline to adhere to. It's almost like live-reviewing a book...

Indeed. Whatever happened there when those two left, by the way? All I've ever read is that Interplay were changing up their management during production of FO2, Tim Cain was programming, and then next thing you know there was an exodus of many of the founding members. Was it ever made public...

The mere fact that Sawyer and Avellone got another crack at the series has to be a good consequence of Beth buying the licence. It could've been far far worse...like a whole series of BoS' type of game, or a Popcap interpretation, or a Facebook game, or... Plus, with the series coming back...

I spent about 200 hours on it all up over several playthroughs and loved every minute of it - the closest I've come to living inside a game world. Plus, I didn't begin playing FO3 with any expectations or the 'what could have been' disappointment of losing Van Buren. FO3 introduced me to the...

Ah, Jim Sterling, the narcissistic man-child of internet gaming sites, giving horrible reviews because he never got enough attention as a child :P It's so unprofessional when he trolls his comments and bites back at criticism by displaying what a complete cock he is with immature answers and a...

As others have pointed out, this 'review' is nothing of the sort - the writer doesn't give any indication that he/she actually played the game, refers to FO3 as the first game, and generally sounds fairly indignant towards the 'series' - which, again, consists only of 2 games in their mind...

Fair enough then, I was going to play it in Hardcore Mode in any case. Interesting design choice, I suppose that way all companions will receive an ending slide and will only die if scripted in 'sissy' mode. If it works narratively then good. With Fallout you really need that fear in wanting...

So does that mean with Hardcore Mode off, companions are invincible or just go unconscious or something? Man, you need that risk and emotional attachment.
