If it really will work like that, it will be a great thing to save caps for, I remember having enough caps (and stored gear worth) to just about buy the entire D.C Wasteland in Fallout 3, but there was barely anything interesting to buy anyhow.

Yeah I know, which is why I'm trying to think of someone else. In the end though I intend to be very socially incompetent but very sneaky/cunning. Game seems to support this pretty well.
So.... Buffalo Bill?
Didn't he just skin his victims and wear them as a hat? I mean sure, that has its merits too but I didn't think he ate them. Then again it's been a long time since I watched the movie.
On monies and such: Getting a lot of money on Hardcore isn't going to be easy from the sounds of things. I just now decided to sell all my shit in FO3 (my ammo that is) just to see how much money I could get. No vender could trade this, but I have roughly $1,000,000 caps in ammunition on my person.

Pittsburgh?

Has anyone seen Friend of the Night perk in use ? It sounds a bit too vague in its description in my opinion.

It's not pittsburgh, reno or oregon. BoS was set in texas but that's not right either.

ok last one is St Louis but I can't remember a fallout game ever happening there?
There was reports on GAF from a guy who apparently got an early copy, in which he bashed the game for having numerous bugs, glitches, and all around unpolished BS throughout. He didn't specify which version, although the majority figured PS3.
Just wanted to know if the PC version received any impressions yet. I'm kind of debating buying it through Steam, but I need to know it won't be some buggy mess that will need a patch or three.
Also, does it use GFWL for Achievements? If I get it on PC, it's going to be played on the big screen with a 360 controller. Essentially the Xbox experience, only better running, better looking, and lots more mods.
Seems like I'm going to have to wait until Friday if I end up getting it on PC, even though retailers are selling it on Friday. Boo!
And my pc just started making a.. troubling noise. :? Does not sound healthy at all.

Sorry, that kinda comes with the engine. Excpect a buggy as/little less buggy game than Bethesdas.
As for me I didn't run into any serious bugs yet (XBOX360) but then again I do not care about most bugs.

I'm not demanding that it be bug free from the start, it's just that the guy in GAF was really wailing about it, saying it was even worse than Fallout 3. He could have just been trolling, but I just wanted to verify.
Also, is that "exclusive" DLC for Xbox timed-exclusive? I'll assume it is.
And lastly, I asked this before, but what do I need to do in order to have a Steam game install in a separate hard drive?
My main drive absolutely does not have enough space for a game of this size.

There is already a reviewer (Gameinformer) tweeting that he didn't run into ANY bugs during his playthrough.
So, it really depends. Most gamers go after first impressions and hyperbole things that were just as much in F3.

Why are people saying that DLC for F:NV is only for 360? They mention GFWL will get access too. All it means is that PS3 will lose out. No surprise there. Same thing happened with FO3.
Of course, having to choose between having to use and support the PC GFWL client and just missing out on the DLC is actually kind of a hard choice...
Nah, at least with FO3, all you had to do was move the DLC into the data folder and activate it via the mod manager. Let's you use it even when using something like FOSE that blocks GFWL.
I can't wait to see the New Vegas mods.
And if there isn't a Texas Hold'em tournament in the base game, I will be very disappointed. Of course, some modder will fix that.
Then another modder will mod that into Strip Poker.
Then another will mod it into Sex Poker.
Then another modder will turn it into
Rape
Poker.
Sadly, yes. I still wince whenever I visit the Nexus and see the animated prostitution mod and the various nude/breast size changing mods.
Take comfort in the knowledge that most westerners don't make those mods.
Apparently, they're mostly ported over from japanese/recoded from asian mods. Oblivion started the (horrible) trend, and Fallout continued it.
I'm pretty sure Somethingawful has a very NSFW, utterly hilarious, utterly nightmare fueltastic set of articles on the japanese modding scene for Oblivion. Which is a thousand thousand times worse then the Fallout one is.

The Japanese sure as hell didn't make that Tulip mod.
I've worked out my build. I'm going to do what I did in fallout 3 and try to be awesome at everything and then fail and relise I'm terrible at everything then focus on small arms (or whatever its called now) as I level up in a desperate attempt to right the wrongs of my initial set up.
Planning ahead is for babies.

Some things are too screwed up, even for them.
To be serious for a second, i'm pretty sure the whole thing has become some sort of self perpetuating beast by now, thanks to the support all mods get in the form of sites like Nexus. Sure, some crazy japanese guy may have popularized the whole "adult mods" thing to the point where they started showing up en-masse on Nexus, but i'm pretty sure he's not the only one doing it now.
I'm probably going to play as a melee-type the first time through NV. I know they added special moves to melee weapons this time around, but is the same true for hand to hand weapons? Are there special moves for going unarmed, as well?
i preordered from gamestop (wanted the CE for PC, and amazon didn't have it.)
they say they ship on the 19th, but they have 'street date guarantee' that if you pay for overnight shipping, you'll get the item on the street date or cash dollars back
but it hasn't shipped yet qq
Gamespot overnight shipping usually doesn't inform me that the item has been shipped out and give me the tracking number until the morning of the day it's going to arrive.

I enjoy talking about our work and I have the good fortune to be able to do so to the press and fans, but I worry that it obfuscates the immense volume of human time, headaches, frustration, and creative passion that goes into making something of this scale. This is not the result of one person's ideas, the fruit of one person's labor. And though the press and fans have emphasized the connection between the Obsidian of today and Black Isle of days gone by, I believe it diminishes the role of both Bethesda, in developing Fallout 3, and the myriad developers at Obsidian who are coming to Fallout for the first time. Without their creativity and drive, this game could never have been made.
We are all momentary heirs to and stewards of this small world. I can't claim to have made it, but I'm glad I had the chance to stay here for a while. I am grateful for all of the many people who have gone before to light the way, and to everyone who came with me into the flickering darkness of the wasteland, guiding my oft-unsteady feet until we found our way back home.

3 more days and I can be playing a game I know very little about. That isa really rare thing for me. .Usually I know everything about a game prior to purchasing it but not this one. Alls I know is it's going to rock even if its more of Fallout 3 with nothing new...
- I feel thoroughly exhausted. Not enough sleep this weekend. Now I'm trying to write the reviews for games I stayed awake all weekend playing
- That ****er (New Vegas) was a major culprit.
- Our Vanquish and New Vegas reviews are embargoed until tomorrow morning. Make sure to check out Dtoid for those. Both should be interesting.
- I can't tell you what I think about the game. But I can tell you that you most likely won't sleep if you get it at midnight.
- I cannot comment on New Vegas' quality. I can tell you that if you preordered it, however, you shouldn't cancel.
Heres hoping i can find a long trenchcoat to wear in game to go with this badboy.
I'm hopeful. F3 had Autumn's and Chase's winterized coats. Perfect for it. The Regulator dusters weren't bad for it, either.
Ya know, I'm thinking a Deckard play through might be in order. A bounty hunter roaming the Mojave taking down criminals.
Annnnnnnnnnnd the skill requirements have totally ruined the build I'd hope to do. Needing Barter for anything is pretty much bullshit because its an utterly useless skill, and it was useless in every iteration of Fallout thus far. 70 Barter. 70 God damned Barter for Pack Rat and Long Haul. Blech.
