...wow you sexy thang. I just got a stiffy looking at your profile pic. Bring that dusty red sandstone ass over here. ...I mean, yeah, whose going to listen to someone with no charisma, amirite? ...you sexy thang.

Overall how do you guys feel about it so far? How funny is it? Describe the level of immersiveness brought about by the story and appropriate dialogue and character personalities. Is it a must have if one wishes to learn all the most important parts of the New Vegas storyline or is...

To mimic Hollywood, yes, Bioware is throwing sex in your face right at the beginning of every game and with multiple characters. Flirting starts as early as five to ten minutes into DA2. While it is awesome to be the guy who saves the day and gets the girl (or vice-versa), sometimes you just...

I liked the idea how trying to change a game drastically usually fails so DLCs can be used as a testbed for new ideas. I hope this practice continues so that if a certain DLC sticks out from the rest and becomes very popular we can then expect an entire game to be made to function similarly.

Yeah...about that. I did not know Confirmed Bachelor was a euphemism for a homosexual. I thought it meant someone who "confirmed" his "bachelor" status by choice, who hates commitments and instead plays the field, as that is what the words mean on a literal level. But, yes, I was happy with...

Also, Charisma greatly increases party member combat effectiveness, so if you are boosting the stat anyway you can equip all the best weaponry, armors, and ammos on your companions and have them do all the work while you go hug a Broc flower plant and kiss a Big Horner or something.

Without posting in-depth spoilers, there are some very interesting and funny dialogue options with some of the skill checks, like when dealing with the head chef in the Ultra-Luxe or going to the third floor of REPCONN HQ. As for how complex and enjoyable puzzles are because of skill/speech...

I finished the casino quests in the Strip like three weeks ago, yet one thing is still bothering me: the path I took to resolve the situation with the Omertas. [spoiler:83004824f8] I decided to side with Cachino because Sal and Nero seemed to be doing some evil shit, so I torched their...

In Fallout 3 you could get by as a pure combat character. To be fair, it felt like the nukes just landed five minutes before you exited the vault, so with reasonable people so spread out it is hard to make use of conversation skills. In Fallout: New Vegas, you can do the same, however you...

Since F:NV's areas tend to be geographically accurate, I did a Google Maps search for New Canaan and Sierra Madre. Ogden, Utah, where New Canaan is founded, is way to the northeast of Nellis, which would most likely require being Idolized by Caesar's Legion as well as some very fast travel to...

Quite a few NPCs and quests hype up the importance of H1, so it is unfitting that it is relatively unimportant in practice. Maybe a DLC could build upon it some more and expand the capabilities of the station. Then again, it seems we need lots of DLCs for lots of different major things anyway...

Part of the problem is that there is sometimes an overwhelming number of things to see, manipulate, or do that it is hard to keep track with mere text. One example that comes to mind is if say you have to find a quest NPC in Vault 21, but he/she/it keeps moving around, it's more of a nuisance...

It's pretty clear that the line references how Benny "rigged the [delivery] game from the start" and knew exactly which courier would be in possession of the Platinum Chip. The Courier him/herself did not know what he/she was transporting nor its value, believing it to be just another delivery...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw this, although you said it much more eloquently than I could.

Sigh. It also means more buggy games. Good to know. I somewhat addressed that in the last sentence of my post as well.

Good news: Chances are Bethesda will use id tech 5 (see Rage) for FO4. Bad news: id tech 5 is only meant for ZeniMax developers to use and won't be freely licensed to outside software shops. That means Obsidian can't use it unless ZeniMax buys Obsidian, which most likely won't happen. I...

When you talk to him he mentions the words "mysterious" and "stranger" in his dialogue when referring to how his father left him when he was young for unknown reasons. He also possesses the weapon, yes.

I didn't mean to be verbose for the sake of being verbose. However, if you were unsure of something such as whether damage is tied to a skill, an idea from Fallout 3 (whereas FO1/2 were focused on accuracy), chances are you would also be unsure of what exactly the Strength and skill requirements...

Strength and skill requirements both ensure that you are attacking with your weapon at full accuracy and rate of fire. Combat skill levels also increase the amount of damage your weapon does; the only SPECIAL stat that directly increases damage is Strength for the sake of bonus melee and...

Err, I don't think they took ALL of the stuff 1950's American society believed and put it into Fallout. If that were the case, there would be no black people - they wouldn't have been able to get into Vaults, meaning they would have been killed, Ghoulified, or even dipped into FEV for the...
