I don't know at all. In fact I don't know if there is a clown, that was just a random example I could picture after hearing some more details about the perk.Andronicus said:

Ok the Indiana Jones and Crystal Skull reference has sold it to me. For anyone who doesn't know Indy survived an Atomic blast by hiding in a 1950's fridge. And everyone from fans to realism critics threw a hissy fit. Very nice subtle joke and they are always the best
Great review Russ, I know exactly where I am now in terms of buying this game which is exactly where I want to be after reading a review.
Ill be happily picking this up in the coming weeks(hopefully when a few of the more serious bugs are found and fixed) as soon as I get the money and finally finish Dragon Age(50 hours in, I gotta be near the end right?)

"Skeleton of a man in a refrigerator with a hat."
Indiana Jones?!
OT: Good review. And I knew there would be bugs. I've been saying that for ages!
Ah well, it seems the story is better then Fallout 3's, which isn't quite surprising since Obsidian is good at making great stories(with crappy endings).

You know as much as I do. Without having played the game twice (once with this perk, once without) I don't have a means to compare.Andronicus said:
hmmmm. I'm kinda on the fence about this one now.
While I was all excited for the new humour and atmos in this one. The thing about the bugs has me doubtful about whether it's worth the price tag. All of those problems were what killed Fallout 3's enjoyment for me so much so towards the end. Especially considering it had been out a while and no patch.
Hopefully it'll be patched quickly, else I'll just pick it up for a tenner pre-owned in a years time.

So I'm officially running downto the game store on my first break to nab this.... if the lines arn't too long...
"It's disappointing to see such an otherwise brilliant and polished game suffer from years-old bugs, and unfortunately our review score for the game has to reflect that."
Because when Fallout 3 launched and had the same game-breaking bugs, you really couldn't be bothered with that kind of petty thing, I guess. Good job finding your principles in a bag somewhere, though. Well done. Stars in the margins. *thumbs*

Your position seems to be that because the bugs existed in a previous title, they should be excused in New Vegas. My position is exactly the opposite.nipsen said:
It's sad that it's still suffer from glitches that should have been fixed. I felt much the same way as Russ regarding FO3's glitches, in that because the game had so much to offer in general, a few glitches wouldn't bother me. But getting rid of glitches was one of the things I really looked forward to. Never mind the addition of the vibrant humor, delightful coloration, and so on. I want those bugs fixed.
Mind you, I haven't played the game, and I plan on buying it and enjoying it like I did with FO3. But Russ' review told me what to expect, and I reacted accordingly.

My favorite in the series was fallout 2 for its humor and overall writing. I actually found Fallout 3 fun, but the writing was lacking in some places such as the horrible ending. I'm definitely choosing wacky wasteland first time through! If Fallout New Vegas combines the gameplay of three with the writing quailty and humor of 2 then I think it may end up being my favorite.
It is an Obsidan game, I expect great writing and tons of bugs. I think It would have bothered me more in a sense if the new fallout game DIDN'T HAVE BUGS. Then something would be up. I mean all the Fallouts had bugs, just the nature of the nonlinearity of the series.
Also, people bitched about the bugs in Alpha Protocol which wasn't that bad really bug wise... I encountered almost as many bugs in "polished" games such as the Mass Effect series.
I could just be an Obsidian fanboy though...

Fair review, it seems there's more to it than I expected.
I expected a stand-alone DLC, but it seems it's bigger than that. Very well, you got me interested, I'll see when it'll be available in my country to buy it.
