After these few bad years under the Bethesda reign, I didn't hope to see this forum still well alive and kicking!

I know this might sound overly nostalgia-driven but Persuasion and Deception (Lying) skills do somewhat ring a bell! Other than that, great announcement and a marvelous presentation!

They get away with the DJ in FNV since it's Vegas etc., a real big city that stills manages to operate in a (post-)post-apocalyptic environment; Mr. New Vegas makes some sense as well (as read in the Wiki). Mutant radio station was quite funny too and it's something that could happen in the FO2...

Any chance of getting the CanardPC review translated? Thanks in advance!!

Any way of turning it off?

The way I see it: Wasteland = original inspiration Fallout/Fallout 2 = "canon", spiritual successors to Wasteland Fallout: New Vegas = "semi-canon" spiritual successor to Fallout 2 Fallout Tactics = "non-canon" yet complete Fallout game Fallout 3/Brotherhood of Steel = "non-canon" shitty...

Still, if you liked the originals, you *can* enjoy this one, as long as you look past the crummy mechanics and the lousy Beth content that still appear in this game. The original content in NV, however, is far better in any respect. I agree with you, the original franchise was literally raped...

. . . and even if you find it quickly, there's still that PA Training perk needed. [spoiler:6457a1cb3c]Right now I'm kind of undecided whether I'd like to kill the whole Brotherhood (will be a real pain in the ass, I guess) and loot all of their stuff or to leave them as they are. I heard...

I kind of miss that mood system that was present in the original games (i.e. NPCs changed their attitude to the PC when triggered properly. this attitude could be either friendly, neutral or unfriendly). Right now you can't really piss NPCs off and even if you say something offensive you can get...

@Anarchosyn, I like this approach, the problem is the bonuses are somehow too much in most of the cases. I remember how exceptional it was to have a +3 STR bonus on Power Armor in original Fallouts but this is easily explained. I don't understand why a vault suit has +5 Energy Weapons, +5 Small...

I wouldn't say that. To each its own I guess, but I didn't like "taking my first steps out of Vault 101" (felt like a replay from Fallout 1 yet worse with all this child stuff and a stupid b-day party I should have enjoyed!) and I didn't like "exploring the Capital Wasteland" (which doesn't...

Thanks for the replies, guys! I just want to report it works fine on my Intel Centrino Duo 1.66 GHz as well. Load times are not so long and irritiating as expected, even while having the minimum 2GB of RAM. Indeed, there are some problems with the framerate when more than 2-3 NPCs appear on the...

Heart-warming read! Thanks for the translation! Pardon my ignorance but what is RP?

Okay, thanks a lot! It seems I will have no choice but to buy, check and then worry about it. I'm not feeling like resorting to illegal sources even though that'd be one "safe" way out. There should be a demo version available for fuck's sake! Anyways, if anyone's checked, please speak! :)...

Thanks! Then why such a difference? Fallout 3: Minimum: Pentium 4 2.4 GHz / Athlon XP 2500+, 1GB RAM Recommended: Intel Core 2 Duo / Athlon 64 X2 5200+, 2GB RAM Fallout: New Vegas: Minimum: Dual Core 2.0 Ghz, 2GB RAM Recommended: Pentium Dual Core E5200 2.5GHz, 3GB RAM It plays...

Alright, I know there is already at least one thread that deals with F:NV system requirements, but here I'd like to hear from someone who have already played the game on a system that subcedes (is this really a word?) minimum requirements that are listed by Beth. I'm especially interested in the...

The bugs. I guess this is still Beth's fault -- why did they stick to the same unstable and bug-prone engine? Why rush it? You can't make shit smell like flowers. It's just like: "Hey Obsidian, make us a game, here you have some shitty tech we no longer want to use, do something with it. Oh and...

Fuck, it's all of them!

memorable companion NPCs with consideration to some old Van Buren ideas (be it a reference to e.g. the Hanged Man). vehicles you can drive better interaction, better dialogues, better voice-overs (please!)---I'm just parroting ;)---plus a real-deal "talking heads" concept put into practice...

I liked him, too, but---again---there's that feeling he's just another "reproduction" of something seen before -- think of him as of a mixture of Lieutenant's erudition and manners, and good karma and nature of Marcus. Plus Fawkes is kind of an overused figure -- "V", "Anonymous" (that...
