Official Fallout: New Vegas Thread

I'd save Fallout 3 for last. Because it's so much better/deeper.

Just picked this up along with Fallout 3. Does it matter which order I play them in?

Just get ready to say goodbye to your social life for a while

thanks for the reminder, i had to format my laptop and forgot all about this game, but it needs to be finished. love the darker tone and fuller world. caesar's legion is one of the evillest enemy factions from any game ive ever played. I remember early-ish in the game when i was still deciding to be pro NCR or legion, and then i saw one of the legion guys getting interrogated, and when he described some of their activities... that was like the first time in any video game i was literally disgusted. i thought to myself "these motherfuckers gotta go."

anyone play dead money?

You have to love the physics display when you kill a Yao Gui in midair.

Caesar's Legion isn't even that bad. They only attack their enemies and immoral people. Like that town they destroyed was a hive of scum and villainy.

I just remember they let/made me shoot Benny. And I did it and wore his suit the rest of the game.

Barely beat it I hate how you cant play after you take ovee Vegas WTF

 

[Herm]

after I beat this game i had zero interest in that first DLC and zero interest in waiting for the new dlc. i put the game on craigslist but no bites for about 1.5 months now.

Anyone know if it's possible to completely wipe out the Fiends or will they continue to pop up around the New Vegas area?

From the fallout wiki:

 

Endings

If their leaders are destroyed by the Courier, the Fiends scatter throughout the wasteland. Without the organization of Motor-Runner, Cook-Cook, Violet, and Driver Nephi, they were easy prey.
If never weakened by NCR, the Fiends stage an attack against Camp McCarran during the second Battle of Hoover Dam. Though NCR repulse the Fiends, they both suffered heavy losses in the process.
If the NCR retreat, the Fiends stage an attack against Camp McCarran during the second Battle of Hoover Dam. The Fiends overwhelmed many of the troopers before Mr. House's Securitrons could deal with them.
If anarchy reigns after the second Battle of Hoover Dam, fiends overrun Camp McCarran and in the months that follow, the Fiends assert dominance over outer New Vegas.
If weakened, the Fiends attack McCarran during the second Battle of Hoover Dam. NCR repulse the attack with minimal losses and, in the following days, destroyed the remaining Fiend leaders, breaking their power forever.
If the Legion wins at the second Battle of Hoover Dam, Caesar, unimpressed with their performance and their dependence on chems, has the Fiends exterminated.
If Mr. House asserts control over Outer Vegas, and the Fiends are weakened, his Securitrons eradicate the remaining Fiends entirely.
If anarchy reigns after Hoover Dam and the Fiends are weakened, the Fiends attack Camp McCarran during the second Battle of Hoover Dam and, despite suffering heavy losses, overrun it. They continue to be a nuisance throughout Outer Vegas, but never establish full control over the area.

I have been meaning to play New Vegas again, although since I'm using a different account than my first time it will suck to have to get a bunch of achievements again, especially since I already got most of the endings.

Thanks, but I mean if I run around and kill every Fiend around the Strip, will they continue to show up while I'm still playing?

 

[A Tasty Burgerr]

My guess would be that they would continue to spawn in certain areas like Super Mutants in FO3, but I'm not positive.

I tried my hardest to not read anything in this thread since I don't want to spoil anything.

I will say after the first little hiccup I had with just dieing quickly I'm really enjoying this game. I also like how I'm not relying on VATS as much since it seems to be so uneffective its better to just shoot away on your own.

I want to get this game.

I had the same thing when I played. The difficulty in it is odd. The beginning is REALLY hard and SUPER easy to bite it without warning, which made for some frustrating situations when I didn't save every 2 seconds. It definitely evens out and even by the end is borderline joke-level easy. I just mowed down people at the end of it.

Hopefully Bethesda finds a nice balance in Skyrim between letting the game challenge you enough and still making it feel like you are more powerful than when you started. Both Fallouts were not very good at this.

I want to get this game.

If its still 20 bucks you'd be an idiot to pass it up.

 

[padman59]

I will say I'm having a good time playing this. Today is the first day since I started that I've played another game for more than 30 minutes.

I want to get this game.

Should have got it when it was $10 (or $15 if you want it on PC). :shifty:

Maybe. I'm not going to have any problems waiting for the version bundled with all of the DLC that will inevitably hit store shelves. Too many games to play in the mean time...
