    Bethesda going to be as mindful as Obsidian with Fallout 4?

    OT: Um, no. I in no way expect Bethesda to respect any of the gameplay or narrative advances of New Vegas over Fallout 3 aside from the crafting system. I also expect the side-quests to make even less of an impact on the overall story arc though there will be a mind-boggling amount of them...

    What would make Fallout 4 a really good game??

    I'd like to see the next game be a little bit more sci-fi and a little bit less western. We can't just keep using the same old guns, armor and food forever; somebody's got to start to get ahead. We also need some new players on the field, or at least to knock off some go-nowheres. Not sure...

    Little things you would add to New Vegas

    Some signs of ostentation whose value has seriously decreased: in the future, who needs gold when you're stockpiling bullets. Who needs a diamond necklace when you're a few non-irradiated meals between life and death. Silk dress? Um, some dudes are shooting at you for your mac n' cheese...

    Plasma or Laser

    As far as stats go I love the plasma caster. Hate how it looks though, enough that I never use it. It's like a robot penis attached to a utility box. And don't get me started on plasma bolts. Now the LAER is a thing of beauty. Just as deadly, better range, better ammo usage and it makes...

    Old World Blues

    I think the one that would really sting is missing the Futurama references: [spoiler:c572850849]For one the main 'bad guy' turns out to be a senile, sorta kindly drug-abusing scientist who just loves the staples of 1950s mad science like giant robot scorpions and who makes sentient machines...

    What are you bringing to the Big Empty?

    There are definitely problems with the stealth suit. So far mine hasn't shot me up with that many stimpaks at once yet, but it absolutely drains Med-X like nobody's business. Until a suit fix comes out (I haven't checked the nexus yet) you might want to just use super stims or another suit...

    Building the Perfect Wastelander.

    Energy weapons focused character who I end up giving a stupid amount of implants to. S 5 P 5 E 9 C 1 I 7 A 5 L 8 And now it's time for a level two 'very hard' hardcore OWB run!

    The battle between the couriers.

    It seems like there are only a few ways Obsidian could deal with Ulysses without really messing up the Courier's backstory. The way that makes the most sense to me is the following: For some arbitrary, player-selectable reason Caeasar and/or some other higher-up in the Legion hierarchy...

    The family jewels (Level 12, PE 7): You're so perceptive that you can tell from a glance which side your enemy dresses on. 30% chance that a VATS critical hit to the torso will stun an enemy for five seconds. Enclave's Funniest Home Videos (Level 8, Luck under 3, automatically gained upon...

    The REAL prize of Dead Money

    For me, the greatest part of Dead Money was that we finally got a little bit of honest to goodness sci-fi in New Vegas and that it was really well done. Poignant story, great characters, cool technology, and all the great promises of the old world thrice dashed by human greed, hurt feelings and...

    Impressions of Honest Hearts

    Just finished HH, and I've got to say that my feelings on this one are pretty mixed. The art department really outdid themselves: the vistas are great, the character models are neat, and overall the world map design is top notch if a bit hard to navigate from the pip boy's screen. OTOH, the...

    According to The Escapist's Extra Credits...

    Granted: Fallout 3's story sucked overall. It was trite, aside from the side-missions there was hardly any of it and it was totally your standard blank-slate-hero's-journey except with a few of the staples removed. However, the (useful) point of the video's comparison was between the...

    What would you like to see in future DLC?

    I'd like to see some more love for the energy weapons users in the upper-but-not-uber range. The holorifle is cool and all, but where ma ammo-efficient lazors at? High tech energy weapons-focused light armor would also be sweet, maybe some sort of lightweight Jr. power armor with a small...

    Are you happy for Fallout to remain Post-post apocalyptic?

    I think, assuming that the NCR ending is canon (would make sense), they're getting to the point where they can start to develop their own technology and now have enough transportation range that they can start to colonize parts of the world that have up until now been untouched by 'civilized'...

    How rich are you in Vegas?

    Or...they wont release it on any other platform so that Microcox has another 'hey, you guys should totally be playing this on the xbox 360 or you wont get all this nifty stuff!' notch on their belts. I'm not saying this is definitely or even likely going to happen, but: a) People need to...
