Fallout: New Vegas just became a whole lot more awesome

Is this game worth getting for Christmas? Have any of the major bugs been sorted out yet? How long is it in comparison to Fallout 3?

1. Yes. Even with the bugs (which seem to be fewer and further-between compared to 360/PS3), I can't put this game down.
2. Not yet, but there are lots of community mods already out that fix a lot of quest bugs and the like, not to mention great gameplay mods.
3. Longer. Twice as many locations, and 163 quests vs 100 in FO3.

In short, New Vegas will make you hate Fallout 3 and think it was shitty, if you didn't already.
 
how is FO NV in comparison to FO3? it's pretty much copy pasta
 
FO3 is just a repeat of Bethesda's casual profit-raping of a series they didn't create. In both games, they basically ignored canon in favour of a generic one-dimensional story that makes the player out to be a simple hero without giving a whole lot of reasons why. Obsidian took their turn and this time, the world isn't a dozen areas stapled together in a loose grid, the story makes sense and the antagonists have real motives, the writing is good, the dialogue is natural, the characters have real depth to them, the voice actors are better....

Pretty sure my main storyline is ruined.
Caesar is dead, so is Mr. House, so are a lot of important NCR guys(apperantly needed for the storyline). I can't talk to Yes Man anymore either(only say 'goodbye').
Now I have 2 wild card quests open:
-Don't tread on the bear, which tells me the NCR won't work with me anymore if I keep working with Yes Man(but doesn't give any directions)
-Change in management, which is still marked as 'active' with no directions

Been doing a lot of side-quests, but nothing that seemed to get the main story going again.(by the way, I freed Benny from the Legion after killing all the guards)
Anything I can do other than starting over?

Is Cassandra Moore still alive?

Except Obsidian had nothing to do with that.

Make no mistake, I agree. But just saying.

What? Are you saying that Obsidian did not design, write, code and implement its own characters or chose voice actors to fill the role?

About the voice actors, I mean. I guess I was in a hurry and just left too much in the quote.

Bethesda did handle the voice actors.
 
That's fair. I mean, NV still has two-line generic NPCs voiced by the same six actors. But Dave Foley as Yes Man more than makes up for it :p

Uh, no, the recording studio handled the voice actors. Obsidian still chose who would voice what, otherwise, we would be still hearing the piss poor voice actors from Fo3.
 
Coulda got a few more female VAs. Sick of hearing Stan's mom all the time.
 
God damn tried one last time making hundreds of saves. Then I travel to Nipton for what should've been an easy quest and a random girl named Jackyln opens a dialogue with me. At the end, she says she is going to "compose herself". She shoots me dead.



Game returned.

I also like no-bark's voice.
 
The Archimedes II is broken. Whenever I go to target an enemy it closes in and does everything but right as it would normally fire, it just stops and the targeting laser just keeps appearing then getting smaller like its about to fire, no matter what weapon I have out. Made me have to load a save about 45 minutes back just to stop it, so now I can't even use the weapon.
 
What about the new update? Does it address major bugs and performance issues?
 
Performance is the same as prepatch with the dx9 dll fix for me. Things seeem more stable now.
 
Having a weird lockpick and hacking bug.

When I go to lockpick the comp screen that comes up when you hack a terminal comes up over the lockpicking hud. Lockpicking a terminal!

Also, when hacking the comp screen is all bright and I can't see the text. This only has happened in Hoover Dam so far so dunno if it's due to me being there early.
 
Ever since the update, my game has been crashing on me a lot more than usual. Anyone else getting this?
 
It's a shame they still have the same crappy Pip-Boy interface as in FO3, making managing notes for example annoying as ****, and keeping track of unlisted quests.

I hate those unlisted quests.

Trying to do the one where you help out the Ranger in Vault 3 but I can't find Motor-Runner anywhere. I swear I could've killed everybody but I never get a dialogue option saying that he is....
 
When you first get to primm, there is talk about another courier, who passed on the assignment and told them to give it to courier 6 instead. Do you ever find out who that was?

Isn't he the dude you find lying dead in the street there?
 
No don't think so. Wasn't he just the forth courier? He had a note on him with the number 4 or something. Don't really remember.
 
Are there only locations east of the colorado? Caesar's land, I mean. Or is it just The Fort? I know about the deathclaw promontory.
 
I am probably going to pick up this game for Christmas. Has anyone played Hardcore? Is it fun?

Also, on normal and hard, do you still have to eat and drink?

Hardcore is fun. I actually don't like playing it the normal way, after having started on hardcore.

And no, on regular difficulties, you dont need to eat or drink. You still can obviously, but just to get their negligible amounts of HP restoring effects.
 
Did someone say sandvich!

Dead Money announced.

Goddamnit, patch the 360 version first.

Anyway, completed it lastnight. Over 100 hours I put into it. Loved all the different ending possibilities. Will play it again soon but as an absolute bastard rather than the good guy I played first time through. Shame you can't take control of the Legion army.
 
Count me de fuk out, I don't buy DLC. Unless it's on sale.

Not to mention I don't even own a console.

Oh boy, console exclusive DLC.

That is because this DLC is only for the proper fans:

“We’re pleased to give fans a chance to expand their experience in Fallout: New Vegas this December with Dead Money,” said Pete Hines, VP of PR and Marketing for Bethesda Softworks.

PS3 users had to wait about a year for their DLC. I wonder how long we PC/PS3 people will have to wait this time.
