Fallout: New Vegas

[God]

nevermind, the main quest got a lot longer then i expected. it broke down into like 7 different things.

Anyone using the Wild Wasteland trait? I'm debating whether or not to use it when I can actually start playing.

I selected it just to see what happens. Thus far I really haven't noticed anything "Wacky" or out of place. I admittedly haven't had much playing time with it yet. I'm sure it will become more obvious as I venture into New Vegas more often. I expect to meet some strange characters.

From the wiki...

In an interview with Chris Avellone, he notes that the Wild Wasteland trait may add more references to older content in Fallout and Fallout 2, in regards to special encounters. Players without Wild Wasteland will find less silly analogues in places where Wild Wasteland modifies things. According to J.E. Sawyer, the trait was added as a compromise because different members of the team often suggested 'wacky' content that others thought would be out of place.

I selected it too. I read one random encounter is a refrigerator with a corpse and an Indiana Jones-like hat that makes a reference to the last Indiana Jones movie where he survived an atomic bomb by hiding in a refrigerator.

I found that. It was just North of Primm. When I got to it, a crazed vault boy appeared at the top and it just said (...). I guess it was cool?

lol @ gamespot giving this a 7.5.

gamespot and ign are honestly the worst video game-related websites out there.

Isn't it glitchy as hell?

[DirtyMagic97]

People have reported some technical issues (mostly for PC) but I have yet to experience anything that takes away from the experience. Occasionally it gets a little clippy, but it never lasts long.

Apparently there are already some patches on the way for PC.

What site do you use for reviews?

I'm about 35 minutes in. I like the crafting system though I haven't done much with it yet. Seems like it will be a good way to use up otherwise useless crap.

I honestly can't say that gamespot's review is that far off. The game does seem to slow down the longer you play and I have had some choppiness, but I haven't experienced all the bug they're talking about. The story seems solid but I not as drawn in as much as with FO3.

The combat, at certain times, seems really difficult. I've died a few times where I didn't even have time to react. I'm currently on a quest to kill a bunch of Nightkin, blue super mutants that are invisible with stealth boys, and I just don't have the firepower to take them out. They're easy if you can get an initial sneak attack but that's pretty damn hard considering they're invisible.

I would think.

I think the nightkin in the basement is a little too hard for so early. I couldnt beat it so i left and leveled up some and then came back later. I liked it actually instead of speed running through fallout 3, i rarely died in that game. Considering there will be a patch i disagree that the bugs warrant a 7.5
