Fallout: New Vegas

Archive: 17 posts


At first I was like: "Meh, it's made by Bethesda and Fallout 3 wasn't that good really. Well... this propably means that Fallout series are dead to me " But then I realized that the new developing team has A LOT of old Black Isle and "Van Buren" staff in it. So this gave me some hope It still is a little set-back that it has the same engine as F3, but hey! Now we can expect a real PLOT and maybe some decent DIALOGUE!

So, what is this thread for?

Here, we may discuss this upcoming game

Oppinions, anyone? C'mon, don't be shy!

I'll definitely be picking up New Vegas. There aren't any real screenshots from this yet are there? I've heard it's less "ruins", as Vegas wasn't directly hit by any bombs, so it's more "dilapidated" than "destroyed".

Either way, I'm a big fan of Fallout's world, so I'll be more than happy to explore Fallout-Vegas.

Hopefully there'll be some new enemy.

Fallout 1: The enemy was The Unity/ Muties/ The Master/

Fallout 2: The enemy was The Enclave/ President Richardson/ Frank Horrigan

Fallout 3: The enemy was Muties/ Enclave

SERIOUSLY! Can't you make anything yourself?!?!
But still, it wasn't a BAD game. There were just a few things that made me sort of "hate" it. Such as the poor dialogue and a poor plot and voice acting.

I'm glad that they scratched most of the F3 developing team. Just glad

The voice acting is pretty ridiculous. They get Liam Neeson for a major character, and then fill in all of the rest with the same 2 generic voice actors who just read every line exactly the same, like they're doing a radio commercial.

And I really, really got sick of hearing "Hello CHIIIIIIIILDREN!"

"Hello CHIIIIIIIILDREN!"

I shuddered when I read that.

"Its K-Dog, OOOWWWWWWWW!

The radio was sharply knocked off when I played it through.

I'm looking forward to it to. I loved all the fallout games, and seeing as most of Black Isle are now Obsidian, it should be good.

Well, Fallout 3 has WAY more AIs than FO1 and FO2, EVERYONE talks. They were already getting bugged. "WHEN IS FALLOOT THREE COMING OOT." I think they had to meet a deadline.2009-10-10 16:16:00

It's not about the amount. It's about the QUALITY.

Some new info. Not official, leaked. Sounds great tho .

http://hellforge.gameriot.com/blogs/Hellforge/Leaked-First-Details-of-Fallout-New-Vegas


- Similar to Dragon Age: Origins, at character creation the player can select from different background stories. The first few hours of the game are different depending on which background you choose, and you get some unique perks based on your background when the main game begins.

- One background story is shown, Chinese Agent. The background story takes place before the bombs fell. The player is part of a team of Crimson Dragoons infilitrating Hoover Dam. You manage to sneak through the Americans' defenses, set explosives, and head to an extraction point, but your escape is cut off by American soldiers in Power Armor. The player and other survivors of the Crimson Dragoons take refuge in a cave in the canyons, where they commit hari kari with cyanide capsules. The player about to do the same when the bombs fall. The background story ends an indeterminate time later, when the player exits the cave, removes his helmet, and sees his ghoulish reflection in the waters of the Colorado River.

- The background story segues into character creation. The player can customize the appearance of the ghoul, and you see you start the game with two unique perks. One, similar to the Ghoul Mask in Fallout 3, makes Feral Ghouls non-aggro. The other makes the player immune to radiation sickness and allows the player to discharge accumulated radiation in a blast similar to a Glowing Ghoul, healing the player and any mutants while damaging all non-mutants in range.

- By default, the Chinese Agent has the skills Sneak, Small Arms, and Explosives tagged and SPECIAL stats set, although the player can modify their tagged skills and stats if they don't like the template.

- One character background option is Lone Wanderer. This selection has no background story or template and is a complete blank slate for players.

- The SPECIAL system used will be similar to Fallout 3, but skills will be harder to cap and one character will not be able to become a master of all skills. The article is not very specific because apparently it's something the developers are still tweaking.

- Gambling will return, but not as a skill. Your Luck stat will effect gambling results. You can attempt to cheat at cards using your Sneak skill or hack slot machines using your Science skill.

- There will be vehicles. The desert of New Vegas dwarfs the Capital Wasteland and you will need transportation to get around and explore it. You will acquire a vehicle several hours into the main quest. You can customize your vehicle with parts bought at shops or won through racing circuits and quests. Vehicles will not be common, but you will encounter road gangs, merchant caravans, and other vehicles in the wastes. The open desert is home to some very large mutant creatures, like giant radscorpions and sandworms, that will attack your vehicle.

- New Vegas has a coliseum run by a slaver gang called the Caesar's Legion. You can gamble on and participate in arena fights.

I love the Fallout series and i hope they take a leaf out of the book of Gearbox's Borderlands. I loved everything about F3 but it could have done with some sort of vehicle. However, F:NV needs to flow much better like Borderlands does. Don't get me wrong I do think F3 is the better game but New Vegas needs to take elements from Borderlands and make a super game.

One final point. I hope F:NV is not online. This could destroy the game.

Even though i hated F3 i'm really looking forward to this

There's a good chance that i won't get it in the end but i really want to see what they've changed now that Bethesda isn't in full control.
I'm expecting an imaginative, well written and much more polished game. If they can provide that then it might just be the Fallout i expected to get from F3

*TEXT*

This sounds great, I didn't like F3. But this sound like its a tad more RPG focused and should be interesting.

I'm hoping for redemption by Bethseda after the excessive amount of glitches F3 had. F3 was still an awesome game so I'm hoping to get New Vegas.2010-01-08 01:13:00
