Cool.
I killed the robots at some other place. Utterly unrelated robots. Which gave me negative rep with 38. Because Obsidian's scripters has flippers for hands and set those robots to be a part of the 38 faction. That happened a few weeks ago in game time.
Just to make sure I am not misunderstanding you here, I saved, went into the casino, got shot a bit, ran out, waited for a few days, then tried coming back in. That worked as well as expected, ie not at all.
I just need to know what's their id for the setreputation command. How does one look that up? In the editor?

[INT 9] I SEE YOU ARE FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT WITH UR WORDS. DERF GONNA HERF.
I can't believe anyone, ever, in the world, actually believes what you typed. I mean, I know people do, because those silly geese are in this thread, but it's hard for me to actually believe humanity has fallen to the depths this opinion seems to belie.
Seriously, NV is better than fallout 3+DLC in every way. It builds an internally consistent world, interconnected with the GOOD fallout games (1/2) and heals every bit of bitter disappointment I had about fallout 3 (aside from the perspective, but hey FIRST PERSON IS THE FUTURE AMIRITE, NOT AT ALL OBNOXIOUS TO NAVIGATE A LABYRINTH OF A VAULT FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE.)
Bethesda did a terrible job with fallout lore(DERF HERF 200 YEARS LATER NARP, BROTHER HOOD OF STEEL HAS PALADINS, GOOD GUYS!!!! LULZ CANIBAL SUPER MUTANTS, EXPLODING CARS NARF) and I had all but written off the series, Obsidian made van buren mk II, and after making Bethesda's fallout wannabe game look so utterly stupid by comparison, in so many ways, I can't honestly believe anyone wouldn't want them making the future fallout games.
But hey, some people are silly geese WITH AWFUL TASTE.
Alot of people have said that there is more "Hope" in new vegas than there is in Fallout 3, but I disagree. Humanity has settled down with some kind of vague sense of societal structure, but really - it's fucked. The whole game, from place to place, everywhere I go, is telling me "Look how fucked humanity has become"
This is a very, very good thing.
Fallout 3 was missing that.
They seem like good people to me. Not perfect, but at least getting back to some semblance of a decent civilization.

I actually think FPP suits Fallout games better now that we have tolerable graphics. There are some really f-g great tense moments in FO3/ NV made possible only in FPP. If only the Oblivion engine wasn't so old and broken.
On a side note: how could they even further improve VATS? I know total turn-based battle like in FO1&2 is out of the question (sales and audience) but for sure VATS could use even more refinements?
Crippling Bureaucracy. Inaction in the face of a rapidly approaching enemy. It is alluded to that if they want something thier laws prohibit they will go to shady means to change those laws.
Of course the flip side of the last point is the brotherhood that never goes against the codex no matter what; which has led them to bad times too.
If you have wild wasteland enabled it's the:
The insurmountable odds.
And they're only governing one small part of the country and one tiny part of the world.
Wow.
I like FALLOUT 3 better then NV so far. Even though I like the gameplay of NV more. Its the world and atmosphere I feel is missing. I am only a bit into the world, but I feel like NV is a series of individual outposts with vast emptiness between them.
FALLOUT3 felt like a city that was ruined. I felt like I could navigate my way around a bit more and doing so made sense. I feel a lot more like im wandering in a vast empty space in NV.
The towns and outposts have a bit less character to me so far too. Megaton, Littletown (or whatever it was called), that small town with cannibles, that city made out of a big ole boat- all felt unique and had their own interesting stories.
So far ive encoutered a town with nothing unique. A normal town which has been run over by gang members. A town which has a big dinosaur and a sniper. The people in them are boring too. Theres no drug addicts or bad moms with annoying brat kids I want to kill. Or creepy dudes who "saved" a girl in the past and acts like its his daughter when im pretty sure hes a pedo.
Maybe itll get better as I go on, but so far its a fun game for me to explore, but all the things people are claiming make it awesome, im just not seeing.
I honestly can never fathom this, because NV shits all over Fallout 3 here. It builds on Fallout and Fallout 2, reintroduces many old places and ties in the entire world in a more logical fashion. Fallout 3 feels like stuff thrown together from Fallout with no rhyme or reason for it.
In other words, it's exactly like the original games.
That's exactly how it should be.
Heres one, how do more kids end up in little lamplight TWO HUNDRED YEARS LATER.
The intelligence checks in dialogue in that game are somehow MORE idiotic than the normal (still idiotic) dialogue.
Unbelievable.
If you are at all educated it LITERALLY BOGGLES THE MIND.

I mean, they're some of the worst aspects of Fallout 3. Rivet City though I will give anyone was a fantastic concept.
It's difficult to take you SERIOUSLY when you state opinion as FACT and post in an OBNOXIOUS way.
People are allowed to like Fallout 3 more than NV. But having that opinion doesn't make Fallout 3 better than New Vegas.
I mean, a whole town that rains artillery down on anyone that gets close to them is just awesome.
My only complaint is it's a huge fucking expanse of real estate to run quests across.

There's tons of problems like that in all of the Fallout games. Singling out Fallout 3 for those is rather silly. It was a great game, and had FAR fewer game-breaking bugs than NV. Calling it the better game isn't at all wrong, it's just a matter of opinion.
A lot of silly people are in this thread.
Could you tell the silly goose that also MANY MANY people never even played fallout 1 and 2 and that NV 'feeling more like "real" fallout' means dick to anyone that came to the party with 3.

Granted, I loved 3 despite its warts, but the story, setting, dialogue, locals, NPC's, and improvements (crafting, hardcore, companion control, etc.) just simply set this game apart.
If you came to the party at 3, maybe get to know the guests already there, I'd like to introduce you to them, thier names are fallout 1, and fallout 2, and while fallout 3 is over drooling into his upturned dunce cap in the corner, they have some things called good writing, wit, verisimilitude and marginally well-thought out plotting to share with you. Please, let them.
You make me want to facepalm so hard my brain ejects itself through the wall behind me, into the fucking dimension buckaroo banzai drove his rocket car through.
That is the entire thing though. NV feels far more Fallout than Fallout 3. It has all the aspects of the original game that Fallout 3 lacked or was just confused on. Fallout NV remembers things like cars not being god damn bombs (some are explosive though). It has a wasteland that feels like a wasteland, complete with utterly terrifying creatures that will brutally sodomize you without mercy. It's towns and cities make logical sense, with most of the quests also making a good deal of sense as well (EG no blowing people up within 5 minutes).
I mean, NV is a genuine Fallout game. Fallout 3 feels like a fan game. NV feels far more like an actual sequel than Fallout 3 ever did.
Edit: NV IMO despite its bugs (but I played Fallout 2 on release) is probably only below the original Fallout in terms of how great an RPG it is. Fallout 3 is definitely not a bad Fallout game, but it ends up only above Fallout Tactics in terms of Fallout games.
Yeah this too.
I didn't feel like spending that much time on him though to be honest.
I can understand how people who maybe never even heard of Fallout before Fallout 3 might feel a little alienated by new Vegas as well.
I will make you even sadder.... I cam e to the party with..... Tactics.....
the SHAME!
EDIT: Of course I figured a military outpost would have cleared some of those cars off the road to open up a clear field of fire but whatever.
I don't know why to blow up a town or not is considered an interesting choice by bethesda. Why they thought bringing back the dark brotherhood quest giver in such cheesey way would make it less 'oblivion with guns' and why oh why they included vampires.
It's like they can't help themselves

Eh, maybe I wouldnt like the original 2 that much. I always try to get into them, but I always get bored.
Also, I play videogames for fun. Littlelamplight and Megaton were FUN concepts even if they werent super realistic. You know what else isnt realistic, a dude trying to sell me dinosaur toys. But its funny and I enjoyed it.
Your entire argument seems to be "NV is closer to 1 and 2 therefore its better." Which...is silly. I could say "Fallout 3 is closer to Oblivion, therefore its better." But that wouldnt mean anything.
So far the entire concept of the Legion seems absolutely retarded. Why are they dressed like Roman soldiers? Im sure I will find out more eventually, but I also bet its still sort of silly.
How comes theres like 1000 dudes who escaped from one prison to form the powder gangers? Thats dumb!
You can throw away a bit of realism for fun.
Face it, all of these games have tons of stuff that's unrealistic or just silly. It's part of the fun. The only objective problem I've seen listed is bugs, and New Vegas, well...
