Stop following my posts and being so helpful all the time. You make me feel stupid :( But thanks, Oerjeke, SudoX, and FolcoTook. I'll check those tips/guides out.

Ringo. On a side note - how do you play Caravan exactly? I am able to place my first card, but then when my second turn comes I only have the option to "Discard Card" until I run out of cards and lose.

If you stray away from the path you will get slaughtered more often than not. I had a Giant Radscorpion chase me all the way into Nipton before I evaded it. Also, if you meet Jackal Gang Members - they HURT. You have to be smart when fighting them, abusing cover and lobbing...

I figured as much. Not quite there yet since leveling is really slow compared to FO3, although this may be because I'm exploring and scavenging like a mad man and worrying about HC mode's survival needs. All of these things make every single skill point you spend and perk you choose even more...

Were they a console-only thing? Or are the hold-down-left-click charged up attacks the PC version? I haven't seen any in-VATS special with melee or unarmed weapons :/

Best response ever. Your sig ("Boom") also made me LOL. I tried to interact with the birds I saw earlier, but they got scared and flew away. Next time I am going Duck Hunting.

He said "45 hours" at the end of his article. I assume he's at least 1/2-way done and in Vegas proper, especially since he is able to disguise as a Khan member, doing Khan member things (which are done in Vegas).

I feel the opposite way. The fact that there are about half (3/4?) as many potential skill points in the game compared to FO3 makes it harder to become a jack-of-all-trades-master-of-all. You have to pick certain skills over others because it is impossibly to max all the good ones. One thing...

Obsidian has a ridiculous amount of experience. What they don't have in surplus like other developer studios is money, people, and power. The first is why they take whatever work they can get, making sequels and such for other developers' games. The second is why the games are so buggy. The...

Bethesda will definitely keep the Fallout rights for as long as they can, but I would not be surprised if they had Obsidian make all future Fallout games from now on. This allows Bethesda to focus on TES instead. Zenimax has a solid setup going for them if they choose this route: id = tech...

One of the things with NV vs FO3 is that, since it doesn't feel like the bombs landed 20 minutes before you start the game, things are so developed and civilized, relatively, that the grim nature of the Wasteland isn't as present at first. For the first six hours at least things feel like...

I woke up at 3 AM this morning for my Steam unlock so I could play for 6 hours before going to work. Yes, there are bugs. However, almost none are the fault of Obsidian. I haven't crashed, I had some FPS lag during bigger firefights, especially with explosions, but I have max settings and my...

Steam is going to unlock the game at 12AM Pacific, meaning 3AM EST for us. It's lame, but I figured out a way to get some gaming before work tomorrow. Once I get home, I am going to cook some food for the week, eat dinner, and promptly pass out at around 7 to 8PM after popping two Ambien. I...

The Xbox 360 version has been on torrents for a couple of days already, so it is possible they played that version. Either way, while overall I think FO3 is a good game, it is by no means the masterpiece the reviewer in the link in the OP and most of the gaming world claim it to be. The...

Glad I could help. By the way, I fucked up. I said "emphasized stats other than Agility and Luck" when I meant "Agility and Intelligence." In FO1, 2, and 3, every single one of my characters has maxed Agility and Intelligence because it is stupid (for power-gaming purposes) not to get those...

From the GameFAQs thread by the OP: I guess at around 6 to 7PM EST we'll be hearing about all the perks and traits in the game (according to the strategy guide). Maybe a second source can confirm the descriptions of the traits (and whether they affect both VATS and non-VATS combat, as...

Quiet you. I liked how a Super Mutant Behemoth was a worthy threat to a squadron of elite BoS soldiers armed with Power Armor and laser rifles, but how another was easily captured by mere raiders. It made so much logical sense and Obsidian is stupid for not reintroducing this. Oh yeah, /s if...

Once they revealed special melee attacks in VATS, I was sold on a melee character. Last week's and this week's perks only solidified my choice. Well, Spray and Pray is still useful in Normal mode. If you can't hold down LMB and spray your weapon for maximum DPS because your companion is in the...

The engine is the same, thus the 70% of the game that revolves around combat, animations, graphics, and core mechanics will be very similar if not slightly improved. The 30% of the game that focuses on story and dialogue will obviously be very different because you are in a different...

Ports are the devil. They usually start console first and then get ported over to the PC, causing the PC controls to suffer horribly. The PipBoy 3k is fine as it is but definitely has room for simplification.
