Fallout: New Vegas

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

Haven't had any freezing or anything yet, but I had a hilarious glitch. Was told to go find Deputy Beagle while in Primm. Well, first, I went in to the Casino to peak around at crap I could steal. Well, I went in to one of the side rooms, looked up, and there's good ol' Deputy Beagle, stuck in the ceiling, with his legs dangling through the floor. But hey, I was still able to hold a full fledged conversation with him

Exact same thing happened to me.

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

For some reason I am just not digging this game as much as FO3, I am plugging away but so far the story is just meh. I will keep plugging away though...

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

Man... I think I'm getting too far into the main quest line. I've only done two of the main quests so far, but I'm already at level 12, and I feel like I can sort of see the end coming already. I hope I am wrong and there is more to the main quests.

Either way, I'm going to stick to side quests and exploring for a while because I can't find any information on where I am exactly in the story yet. I'll wait until more people actually beat the game so that I know how far I am along in the story.

I know that Obsidian said you'd have plenty of warning about the end of the game coming, but I'm going to go cautiously until more people are to where I am at or have beaten the game before I go back to the main quest line.

Anyways I'm just as addicted to this game as I was Fallout 3, if not more. It's better in almost every conceivable way to me. I just hope that they will put out a patch soon, because I'm now about 11 hours in and have 4 freezes and counting.

EDIT: And I don't know if anyone has seen/fought one or more of these Nightkin guys (You will eventually), but they scare the hell out of me.

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

So I spent an hour rummaging around after first making my character, then I discovered that it gives you the opportunity to reroll your character when you leave the first town. So I started over and maximized my time in the first town by

Spoiler

I set Charisma and Perception up to 10 and Luck up as high as I could with everything else at 1. This let me get 3 levels, beating all locks/computers/speech checks and really loot the town good giving me a strong start, then I saved that as a starting point for any future play throughs.

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

Some cool town of Nipton dialog spoilers concerning the Powder Gang and the bad reputation I have with them.

Spoiler

I am doing a mission when I got to go scout the town. I walk into the general store and some guy is sitting in the chair. He says, "first the Legion now the mf' Powder Gang Grim Reaper walks in. What do you have against us?" Now I feel bad for killing them all and want to know more about them. Awesome use of the Reputation system, and it makes me wonder how different it would be had I befriended them.

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

After walking around it for what seemed like an eternity, I finally found my way into Fabulous New Vegas. Haven't done any gambling yet, but it looks great.

Also,

Spoiler

Once I got In, I got my 2nd house, and this one is much nicer than the piece of junk I was given earlier in the game

About to try and sneak in a weapon with me to The Tops casino.

Did you come upon a lot of places on your way to New Vegas or was it just a bunch of open desert.

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

Did you come upon a lot of places on your way to New Vegas or was it just a bunch of open desert.

From Nipton to New Vegas, there are two decent sized settlements along the highway along with a few Ranger compounds and Tribe settlements. It's honestly a lot like the rest of the map. Once you get closer to New Vegas a lot more markers/significant places pop up. There were markers that popped up that I didn't go to that were off the main road because one of the first ones I tried to find, I got attacked by a bunch of these bloatfly type things (but were about 4 times as powerful), and nearly died. So, I can really only tell you about the things along the main road.

Apparently there is a quicker and easier way to get to New Vegas by going north from a mining camp named Sloan (just east of Goodsprings), but I was advised not to go that way because it was infested with deathclaws. Plus the main questline kind of sends you the other way anyways.

If you or anyone else goes on the trek to New Vegas I'd like to know if you come across some random guy in the middle of nowhere called The Lone Drifter or something or other. He had nothing to do with the story, so I'm wondering if it's from the Wild Wilderness perk, because I had kind of an interesting conversation with him.

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

PC patch is out. A mod too that fixes the Nvidia problems.

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

Seen a few minor glitches, like a gecko stuck in a rock. It was running(but getting nowhere) and you could see only it's head and hands, but it was stuck in the rock. Although the rock seemed to prevent me from damaging it, as I couldn't hit the gecko lol.

And then I saw one of those Goodspring Settlers and they were just a head, there was no body, just a floating, moving head. I was laughing so hard.

Well, I went in to one of the side rooms, looked up, and there's good ol' Deputy Beagle, stuck in the ceiling, with his legs dangling through the floor. But hey, I was still able to hold a full fledged conversation with him

Had both of these things happen to me as well, it's really odd and kinda funny but I'm hoping it doesn't become a frequently reoccurring problem.

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

I had a powder ganger corpse fly 20 feet in the air, stretch, deform and twitch, then fly 50 feet straight towards me. It even did it again when I reloaded the save (I had saved right before).

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

I had my first freeze on the PS3 last night. I was exploring near Sloan and a creature attacked me out of no where, as soon as it attacked me my whole system locked up.

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

Stupid Fallout. Was up way too late playing this night. LIke others have said. If you loved Fallout 3, run don't walk for this one. If you didn't like FO3, then pass.

BTW, hardcore mode is AWESOME. I love worrying bout my hunger, sleep, water intake. Also healing is much tougher. I really feel more desperate in the wasteland.

[Burns11]

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

Maybe it's because I'm not very far, but hardcore mode hasn't really been an issue as of yet. When it says I'm thirsty, I drink, if it says I'm hungry, I eat. Healing is different, but I've always played RPGs like healing items were precious so it's realistically not very different for me. The healing of limbs is the biggest change, makes explosives a pain in the mangled leg, and also makes powder gangers a little more scary.

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

I never did much melee in FO3, but last night I was ballin with the lead pipe! That thing was f'ing deadly. Nothing like getting geeked up with Jet and running into a room swinging a lead pipe!

Agreed about hardcore. It's not more difficult, but there's more maintenance.

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

Awesome game, but I've restarted like 4 times because I haven't been happy with my character.

Now I've created a Han Solo like character...good with plasma guns, bartering and speaking.
