If we are playing an Android, I hope either
A) they tell you from the outset and that's that there's no lazy "you were/weren't an android all along!" twist
Hell, with the rumor, I'll be expecting the later.
Though it would be nice if they did the Blade Runner game's idea of "here's your list of 12 suspects, 3 of them are replicants (chosen at random/based on playstyle, and your character was on the list as well)"
Great idea, doubtful Bethesda or Obsidian could pull it off, is Skyrim's engine really good enough to handle something like that across the entire game?
I use this to mod both Skyrim and Fallout. As well as Oblivion, Morrowind, and a few other games. If you've never heard of it, I would recommend trying it out. I know some people don't like it, so you may already know about it.
Does anyone have any armor mods for New Vegas to recommend? I keep looking and everything I find that looks good is dumped in a box in Goodsprings in the most unloving manner. I want something a little lore friendly.

Everyone in the wasteland is a mutant due to exposure to radiation and/or the FEV.
And I've always thought that ghouls were kind of suspicious. Most of them were born before the war and due to their condition, you can never be sure who they really are. They could hold allegiance to old world organizations. Heck, for all we know, a lot of them were/are spies from other countries.
There was that one dude from Point Lookout who basically confirmed the few surviving spies were still fighting each other, even though the countries themselves were long gone.

It's possible that other countries, especially China, had their own Vault program. In fact, the Chinese government was probably in a better position than the US due to tighter control over the population and its authoritarian nature.
We talking a different Fallout, mac?
Just before WWIII, the US government was as authoritarian as anyone. And China didn't have the raw resource might of the USA to let it spend money on an insanely elaborate psych experiment.
The US government was certainly far more authoritarian than it is today but it's nothing compared to even what the real China has done in the past. The US was still sating the country's consumer culture. They never implemented any heavy rationing program. That's nothing compared to China during the Cultural Revolution.
China in the Fallout universe would probably would have no problem with just killing millions of people in order to conserve resources.
And China wouldn't have wasted their resources on an elaborate psych experiment, they would actually have a vault program designed to preserve the best, brightest, and most influential/important people in their country.

For a single armor, the Reinforced Chinese Stealth Suit mod has a unique area and quest for it, along with a few components scattered about the Mojave.
I guess the creator had a similar mod made in FO3, and is linked in that regard.

Project Nevada has armor (and weapons) integrated into the game, as well as scattering some unique versions around the Wasteland. Off the top of my head, there's a set of Vault-Tec Power Armor in one of the Vaults (I do know which one, but you said "something I have to work for," so I'm not telling you), Boomer Power Armor sold at Nellis AFB (you can also kill the Boomers wearing it, but why would you kill Boomers?), Linden's Outcast Armor from F3, a set of white recon armor (looks slick as hell), and reinforced dusters (with a unique version worn by the jerk who wants to fuck with Jacobstown). Also, surgical masks and pre-war helmets (I'm pretty sure the pre-war helmets are something PN added, but I am using quite a few mods so it might be from something else).
I tried the Reinforced Chinese Stealth Suit that crawfish recommended, and it's not bad. The new location is pretty out of the way (along the river, if I remember correctly), and the quest is pretty well-done, with some neat information about the suit's former owner. And you can upgrade the suit at a workbench.
Probably a reference to the video posted, which explains a bit of the process of adding features to NV, but winds up reminiscing about the infinity engine.

I never got that. Whats the point of funding and elaborate psyche expariment if the entire would is destroyed? Its not like there was another set of vaults that weren't made to fail. And who was studying that data? It just came off as a way to make the prewar goverment look pointlessly evil. Did they shoot themselves in the foot for the lolz?

Well, in Tactics they had Vault Zero be the "real" Vault project. They collect data from all the other vaults, look at how they succeeded and failed, and then when the time comes to let the cream of the crop out of cryosleep, you can do things totally right and fix the wasteland in a hurry, maybe using the surviving other vaults for manual labor.
Then, they ran some numbers, figured there was no way China would be dumb enough to nuke them, and cut the safety budget so they could get bigger executive bonuses. This was something of a mistake.
Think the Enclave might have planned similar things only with a space colony, but honestly, the Enclave is the stupidest collection of evil bureaucrats ever to pollute the surface of the planet. Their master plan in Fallout 2 makes their master plan in Fallout 3 look good.

I think the experiment was done in preparation for the real program and was never intended to be implemented during the real nuclear war. Basically, they would run the experiment to see which Vaults would be most successful so that they'd know what kind of conditions to set when they make the real selection for who goes into the Vaults. However, the nuclear war happened much earlier than they expected so they didn't have time to prevent the experiment.

Well, sometimes it's done for humor and general craziness.
Like society getting behind cars that have nuclear reactors and America staying in the 50s way into the future.
Still though, the prewar government were pretty shitty people. Soldiers in power armor took Canadians out into the street, put them on their knees and blew their brains out. All that blind uber patriotism and unquestioned loyalty in the Fallout universe lead them to some pretty dark places.
They didn't really see the people in vaults as the new age of Americans, if they survived, thats fine but they more had their eye on the select few like the Enclave, I would expect.
Probably a reference to the video posted, which explains a bit of the process of adding features to NV, but winds up reminiscing about the infinity engine.
Yes, this. I probably should've stuck an @ in there. Sorry for any confusion. Icewind Dale 2 chat made me all nostalgic and stuff.
It makes sense that the vaults were never intended to be used in an actual war. Tell people war was coming, lock them up and study them, all while life on the surface goes on and nobody in the vaults is wiser.
For what it's worth, playing FO3 on the PC with just the bare minimum 'mods', which are just unofficial patches and the GFWL remover, it crashes far less than the 360 version did.
I can't speak for NV though; it was far far far more problematic for me on the 360 than FO3 was though.

Is that the mod pack that changes the Boomer's to have Power Armor with the US Flag on them? That was an awesome little touch I really liked.
How are the PS3 ports of Fallout 3 and New Vegas? I'm itching to play them again, but I'm sick of them crashing every ten minutes.
PS3 versions are broken pretty much period sorry.
You can try it though.
Rule of thumb for Bethesda-Gamebryo games: You never know what you're gonna get. I've read so many different opinions on how buggy Fallout 3/N:V/Skyrim are it could fill a library.
PC is still the best method since you have more options for troubleshooting.
it will also be on next gen consoles. still on pc creation (skyrim) was extremely stable i only got it to crash 2x and that was more what can i do to blow this up.
So what's actually wrong with the PS3 port of New Vegas?
Memory Management issues due to the PS3's architecture. Same thing as with F3. Its an engine problem and Obsidian didn't really have time or knowdlege of Bethesda-Gamebryo to fix that.
Remarkably the PS3 port of Oblivion didn't have that specific issue IIRC. It was done by a third party though.
The Bethesda Gamebryo rule still applies. Type "Skyrim PC crashes" into google.
I had a similiar experience by the way. Crashed only like 3-4 times on me. (Though I had 1-2 other gamestopping bugs, but I resolved them all easily)
I had Skyrim crash a few times, but no-where near the amount that the Fallout games do.
Seriously, the game has crashed so many times, no matter what pc I'm on. So New Vegas straight up hates the PS3 though huh? Shame.

None of the game's actually crashed on me much. And I only encountered a few (annoying/remarkable) bugs in New Vegas and Skyrim. Moreso in F3.
As I said, thats the magic of gamebryo. I've seen a lot of people claim that the games were nearly bugfree for them. And many more that went from Oblivion to F3 / F3 to F:NV/ F:NV to Skyrim and complained that the later games were much more buggy than the previous.
So what's actually wrong with the PS3 port of New Vegas?
That was one of the aggravating messes I ever experienced. Freezing, slow down, falling through the world, you name it. The PS3 version is terrible, don't support it.
It's been about four frickin years since FO3 was released, we should probably expect to finally start hearing something on the next one this year.
The trailer they put out for Skyrim was one of the best game trailers I've ever seen, hopefully they repeat that with the next Fallout and give me a massive nerd boner again.

It is. I think my favorite is the Outcast Power Armor from Fallout 3 (it has "Linden's Power Armor effects, mostly," according to the Project Nevada spreadsheet - it's line 97 of the "Equipment List" tab), because of the color scheme. It's for Veronica when her quest is done. It's not a dress, but I thought it was fitting.

It's a lot of fun but crazy difficult...but a lot of that is also me having mods installed that make stims heal over time and injuries being harder to fix, I don't think I've ever burned through this many stimpaks before.
I am shamelessly plugging my mod for New Vegas because I just updated it because this thread made me re-install NV and of course I had to update my mod because of this.
My big thing is lore-friendliness. My mod adds some additional weapons to the NCR grunts as well as ammo-holding chest rigs and backpacks.
Unloaded texture mods due to me spending more time looking at the load screen than playing the game. Working through The Inheritance, will download OpposingFarce's mod to see if it conflicts with the improved ncr soldier mod.
