Fallout new vegas

[Baby Tea]

How about make it an actual Fallout game?
You know, with actual role playing and choices that actually effect things (Besides that one bomb)?
And take out the sub-par FPS combat, which makes a tons of once-useful skills now useless.
And have a good story, too! Can't forget that!

All this talk of a good Fallout game has me hankerin for some Fallout 1 and 2!
I'll have to go find my CDs now.

The market would rather not have that but you've still got fallout online.

Well the market already has their wannabe Fallout gaming-abortion, with tons of DLC to boot, so let's try and make a Fallout game that at least somewhat reflects the original two. There is absolutely a market for that.
Of course, as mentioned earlier in the thread, Bethesda is making the Fallout games now, and their idea of 'good, deep, compelling story' is extremely skewed. Too bad we can't get a 'Black Isle' reunion game or something. Those guys were/are fantastic developers.

EDIT: And Fallout 'online' is a terrible idea. Totally defeats the setting of Fallout. I would never waste my time or money.

Ahh, many people that worked on the first two are now working for Obsidian, who are making this game, including Chris Avellone.

Stats that mean something, if I have 1 Charisma and 1 intelligence I don't want to have the same conversation as some one with 10 in each.

Being able to solve problems with out killing everyone would be nice.

What was wrong with them?
Don't you like sweet armour to loot?

'Sweet Armour'?
Really?

i just read that as aroma some how, i was like WHAT?! how would you even know?
OT: more than 4 songs if a radio is addded

Well The Brotherhood of Steel is part of the entire concept from the beginning. I think The Enclave should have been left out of things after Fallout 2, and by the end of Fallout 3 bringing them back yet again would be a little ridiculous.

I saw the NCR as being a referance to the original Wasteland, and honestly I WOULD like to see a connection to the original game that started it all officially defined. Perhaps setting "New Vegas" after the events of the "robot incident" in Wasteland. I'd kind of like to visit The Chuch Of The Mushroom Cloud again as odd as that sounds.

less glitches and vehicles, yeah, vehicles would be sweet

Aaaand cue the 'Hallelujah' chorus!
Normally Obsidian is 50/50 for me in terms of enjoyable games, but I'm a bit more hopeful about this now!

since it's sin city hopefully there won't be a karma system ,because greed , killing ,stealing etc is fun as for the money thing caps would be ok but casino chips would be better as for weapons as long as they have auto repair it doesn't matter just no wimpy 32 or bb gun

Glad to have been of service.

I suppose you like armour that does bugger all against bullets then, do you?(I only had 1 Endurence anyway XD)

I use the non-degradable Winterized Combat Armour.

Bastard! I need till September for that... Guess like I'll just make do with it's ingame degradebal fugly version.

There isn't a non-degradable version of it.
It's simulation only, unless you use the Gary 23 glitch to take all of your sim items out with you.

I know, which is why I said degradeable version.

 

[ace_of_something]

Maybe choices that actually matter. And a little more varity in the landscape and characters would be nice. I picked one of the default faces and was bothered by how many people i saw with my face in my face.

Whoops, mistypeing on my part.
I meant 'There isn't a degradable version'.

 

[infinisynth]

Multiplayer would be fun but they should defiantly focus on the single player game. Make the NPC's a bit more lifelike. Work on making sure the game dosen't lock up, thats so frustrating.

 

[UtopiaV1]

Fuck that, do a 3D version of Fallout: Tactics, easily the best in the franchise...

That's right, I went there, give me your best shot.

Yes there is, just it isn't fancy and winterised, hence the "fugly". T-51 power armour still exists, and can be found in Fort Constantine.

You misunderstand, I don't mean the Power Armour, I mean this:

Without the helmet.

Some form of co-op system. Granted, I wouldn't be able to use it (well, for the meantime. Might have wireless soon...), but damn, imagine some of the hilarious things that could occur from a co-op mode.

Other than that I can't think of anything.

you do realize karma is a staple of the series, don't you?

anyway, as far as "sin city" goes, i think its more likely it will have been colonized by a wasteland cult of super-strict morals.

also, i have to say that i find the use of bottlecaps as a currency over the whole united states is highly unlikely. I mean, i understand, nuka was more popular than god, but still. How is it these crazed hermits what havent been outside for a lifetime have gotten the idea to trade for soda caps?
