Enoch Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) I've had a reasonably stable trip through New Vegas. But I've just tried twice and have been unable to get through the endgame slides without a freakin' crash. Of all the things that can go wrong with the game, the ****ing endgame slides??!!! Edit: Make that three tries. Edited December 14, 2010 by Enoch

WorstUsernameEver Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 The atmosphere looks unusual for a Fallout game. I like the new environment a lot though. So our companions are a bald scarred chick, a Nightkin who was likely a slave and a classy ghoul?
Starwars Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 The environs look awesome there and the way the story is presented here, sounds like it could be pretty interesting. The... ghosts/holograms/whatever shooting psionic bursts are pretty eeeh though. Still, very intriguing. Too bad there's the whole Xbox only thing going for it right now.

Labadal Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 True, Xbox only means I can't give them my dirty, peasant money.
entrerix Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 the way im going to look at it: xbox first means that by the time DLC comes out on pc it will have been patched. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
Tale Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Was Fallout 3 DLC ever patched? Because Fawkes is still invincible. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Ausir Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Nope, never. Pillars of Eternity Wiki * The Vault - Fallout Wiki * Wasteland 2 Wiki
HoonDing Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Because Fawkes is still invincible. He was already invincible in the vanilla game. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Tigranes Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Looks cool, though not a fan of blue ghost people firing psionci bursts from ze head.

LadyCrimson Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) Dead Money looks like fun, only...it feels a bit more generic. Then, who am I to talk, since I've only played NV. I do like the all-for-one succeed or die concept, tho. Feels cinematic. Could be very interesting. the way im going to look at it: xbox first means that by the time DLC comes out on pc it will have been patched. Not that means a whole lot sometimes.... Well I mostly fixed Boone's head-tracking but the holster-combat issue is truly annoying/somewhat handi-capping, so...Arcade is now my new favorite companion. Maybe I can find him a boyfriend. Tho more likely I'll revert to 1.1 for a while. ....is Diablo3 out yet? ... Edited December 17, 2010 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Except for making stupid videos and roaming the wastes 30 minutes at a time with super-powered companions for giggles, I was tiring of the game itself a while back...trying to figure out scripting/packages in the GECK gave my OCD something to do but I've given up on that now....unless I build myself a house. Yeah, I could do that. One that's bigger than Novac's but isn't part of House's estate...that I can send companions to (unlike Novac). So yeah...I could use another game to obsess over. Winter, bah. :D “Things are as they are.

funcroc Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 From the latest Bethesda newsletter Dead Money Arrives on Xbox LIVE on Tuesday Just a reminder that Dead Money, the first downloadable content for Fallout: New Vegas, arrives exclusively on Xbox LIVE on Tuesday, December 21st. Visit Bethesda Blog to check out the trailer, and below we've got a look at two previously unseen screenshots.
Walsingham Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 I love the game so mycg, but have run into my first squadron of bugs, surrounding the Beyond the Beef quest. What blows my mind is how much care and attention to detail goes into the scenes and the storyline. I was really feeling tense and excited about the plot emerging. ...And then WHAM total game lockdown. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

I did run into a quest that was almost unfinishable. The talent recruit quest, the guy who hires you to look for talent would NOT STOP DANCING! Punching him finally got his attention so I could talk to him and finish the quest.

I didn't notice any bugs with BtB but I did find it very easy to make the optimal nice ending impossible. Also if you have Veronica in your posse there is a special gift you can pickup for her during that quest, just saying. Edited December 18, 2010 by Serrano

C2B Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) Some cryptic DLC info supposedly from a Focus Tester at Something Awful Syrant posted: Can you say what those ghost things are and why they're hostile how they are made? The ghost people are hostile for the same reason everything else in the Mojave is hostile- because gently caress you, I want your stuff. vv As for how they're made, let's say the haze in the sky isn't dust and leave it at that. El Negocio posted: Please tell me that ghoul wearing the tux and authority shades is one of the people you're forced to work with, and that he acts as awesome as he looks. He is, he does, and the best part is that almost all of you have already seen him playing through new vegas, though perhaps in a decidedly more aesthetic version. Dr. Discomfort posted: So is the nightkin's name Dog? You mean the one with "Dog" carved into its chest? Well... sort of. Edited December 18, 2010 by C2B
Starwars Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) I believe he is a focus tester which is slightly different. /nitpick Edited December 18, 2010 by Starwars Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
funcroc Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) - "GetWellGamers" at SAF is Ryan Sharpe, the president of The Get-Well Gamers Foundation. He was former Obsidian QA tester on NWN2 and currently works as editor at Nippon Ichi Software America according to his LinkedIn profile. - J.E. Sawyer's formspring Q&A What would you say was the major lesson you took away after the development of FNV to apply (if possible) to future projects at Obsidian? Something you guys really got right, or wrong, for instance? Use less complex scripting in quest scenarios and stage the development of quests in a more progressive fashion. I.e. start by implementing the A-priority, bare-bones, 100% solid scenario for everything first. Only after everything is in at A-priority does mad experimentation begin. The advantage to this is that if your mad experiments turn out to be completely idiotic experiments, you still have an A-priority path that, if arguably a little bland, still works as designed and isn't going to blow up in the player's face.

C2B Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 Another post of Sharpe Schlegel Mach posted: So, is the bald girl as much of a stereotype as I think she is? Hahaahaha. A stereotype? A stereotype. You have no loving idea. I'm not even going to go into it, because she's one of the best-written characters I've seen in forever. Her dialogues are sublime, I'm talking Planescape-level awesome, and you guys should all experience her for yourself.
