    How in the hell can they say this game is Faction balanced?

    Of course NCR is valuable trade parter, but that doesn't make it ethical to annex the area. Life in places like Goodsprings, Westside or Freeside isn't amazing, but they are getting by without relying on NCR and would likely continue to do so. The people in the area know how to farm, to...

    Whats your favorite radio music?

    During the holiday season satellite radio had a Christmas music channel and it was most ly playing people featured in this game: Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Frank Sintara, etc... It really made me want some cheap lame, Christmas DLC for this game.

    How in the hell can they say this game is Faction balanced?

    Life in the Legion is terrible compared to NCR or Vegas. Its pretty obvious and even Caesar seems to know it. However, if we are to believe Raul life in the Legion is better than life in pre-Legion Arizona and New Mexico, because those areas didn't House or the Vault Dweller to help pacify...

    Whats your favorite radio music?

    I liked Big Iron the first hundred so or times I heard it, but it got old, same with the other songs. Turning off the radio was good though, the ambient music in this game good and I was missing out on it with the radio on. While the radio in this game gets repetitive, at least it doesn't...

    How in the hell can they say this game is Faction balanced?

    NCR and the Legion are both good for their home regions, but not for Vegas. Compared the tribes of Arizona and New Mexico, the Legion was a big step forward, but for a more developed location like Vegas, it is the opposite. NCR has been good in California and northern Neveda, but they are...

    Level Cap - To easy?

    I think the game was designed so that different character type could skip many of the quests if they didn't fit the character and still have plenty of experience available to level up. I've played through the game a few times now and my first character did as many quests as possible and hit...

    Fallout: New Vegas patch coming out very soon

    It crashes about as much as it always has, which not that much, and about the same as Fallout 3. It still crashes more late game and more around Forlorn Hope.

    New Vegas is way too complex

    This basically what the reviewer said though, although in the stupidest pseudo-intellectual way possible. Most the comments here make it sound like he didn't like the game and trashed it, but he called a masterpiece.

    Fallout: New Vegas patch coming out very soon

    I got the PS3 patch tonight here are a few things I noticed: The bug where Veronica freezes after her quest is fixed, also she gains hit points. The various safehouses are full loot like harder to find armor and weapons. Rachel is available to talk to after you finish her quest allowing you...

    New Vegas is way too complex

    While he might be being stupid about some of the gameplay and his writing is pretty fluffy, the main point of this article though is that New Vegas, despite some wonky gameplay (and there is no doubt parts of gameplay and interfaces are pretty bad) stands out as as a great game, because it's...

    Dwarfs

    Also needs more people with hook hands. But at least there was someone with an eyepatch.

    Gamefaqs says FO3 one of greatest games of decade.

    Fallout and Fallout 2 didn't come out in the last decade, they are old games; New Vegas is too new to be on the list. Pokemon is popular and popular is what determines what wins these things more than good.

    The sniper rifles are so powerful it makes me cry.

    Energy Weapons aren't that bad. I had a low str, high agility character that used Plasma Defender for most enemies, Laser RCW for very occasional crowd control and then Pew Pew and Alien Blaster for strong enemies, and I cruised through the game with no difficulty. The Sniper rifles are...

    Are shotguns utterly worthless?

    Riot Shotgun tears up a group of Cazadors like nothing else I've found in the game. Shotgun surgeon and living anatomy are a good perks for shotgun users. You'll need another weapon to deal with heavily armored opponents though.

    I want an old school Fallout game again

    Map travel is important if you want the game to take place over a larger area. Fallout 3 and New Vegas can't really cover more than Vegas/DC metro areas, but if want to show the full range of the Legion or NCR lands you need map travel. Map travel also allows bigger cities, especially if you...

    Do you think it's perfectly okay to dismiss Fallout 3...

    I think Fallout 3 is a pretty good exploration game, but a bad RPG and bad at following up on what made Fallout and Fallout 2 good. There are two things that really stand out to me as poor in Fallout 3. First, which has been mentioned several times is that is it much too easy to max out...

    Is Charisma needed?

    The Nerve bonus is pretty significant and because they couldn't increase party size because the game engine, its about the best they could do as far as it influencing your companions. Even bugged, Veronica is pretty impressive mid game, with a higher Charisma character, because can find a lot...

    Has anyone else killed Caesar yet? With their own gun?

    I had close to 100 explosives skill, 3 ranks of demolition expert, and was playing on normal when I blew up everyone in the tent. Is the Vulpes bug on PS3? The wiki lists it as xbox only. I figured he was just flying to the moon like Caesar. I actually had to blow them up like 5 times...

    Neutral Path?

    The Karma system is pretty useless and nonsensical in these games, the value given for most of things make no sense, and really no amount of fixing radios and errand running should make for that time you murdered a bunch of innocent people and stole all their stuff. Reputation is really the...

    Making Energy Weapons work

    I played as fairly low strength energy weapons character my first time through and I got by fine. All the energy pistols have very low strength requirements which is nice. Another thing you can do with pistols is take lots of shots in VATS, especially if you take perks like Plasma Spaz, Math...
