Anyone have idea why New Vegas is already under $20.00?

discussions help humanity advance, even the most insignificant, agreeing to disagree is neglecting the exercise of an argument ehrefore making humanity lazier. or thats what I think.
 
How did they save their money? The DC is stated to be a piss poor shithole, California on the other hand is a prosperous region, the NCR, the Tenpenny residents seem to have lived in the tower for their entire lives, where did they get money from the DC wasteland?

Well for one susan lancaster is a former slaver so most likely these are wasteland adventurers who amassed enough wealth to retire.

Yes and we've been having a discussion but in one such as this it can only start going in circles, especially when everyone stands their ground on a particular point. Arguing about Fallout 3 endlessly...

But it is funny to point out the obviously obvious wrongs wit with the game watch people try to defend them.

And I like Fallout 3...........for the mindless dungeon...er subway crawler that it is.

Most of the people in that tower are weak civilians in their mid 20 to 30s, retire from what? and why spend the money on the Tenpenny tower? How does the tower even stays clean and supplied with anything at all if they don't have anything to trade? no matter how you look at it, it doesn't make sense.

Why the hell do they even use caps!

Hell, why does New Vegas use caps? It could've been like fallout 2, where NCR cash was the prevalent currency. Well, at least it was there.
 
In New Vegas is because the NCR currency has gone down tremendously after their war with the BOS, the Hub and their currency is more prevalent again and they are one of the weapons the NCR needs to expand, so they just decided to push their currency again and put those old caps to good use.
 
Because the BoS attacked the NCR gold reserves, reducing the value of the NCR dollar, to remain economically sound, the traders in the Hub went back to using the tried and true bottlecaps.

EDIT: Ninja'd
 
Which brings back the "cool shit" point. Fallout 3 is full of "cool shit" which mostly makes no sense at all.
 
Here it never actualy arrived, so I can only buy it either by importing it (wich I did, I wanted the collector's edition) or steam, and on Steam is still 50 dolluhs.

EXACTLY! No one can defend things like this. I enjoyed Fallout 3 for the atmospheric, dungeon crawling, exploration FPS it is but you can't say something is there that isn't. None of the settlements seem sustainable or have any background at all. People say it's because they're all struggling to survive or whatever but again, it's 200 years later. I really don't understand why they've set it 200 years after the war, WHY? Because it was on the east coast they didn't have to set it so far ahead surely?

Because the DLC will renew interest in the game but with a GOTY edition in the wind no one will pay normal prices for the regular edition. Retailers have got to move their stock after all.

What happened to the capital wasteland is when a parasite kills off its host. I got the sense that the dc area use to be far more populated. In paradise falls the slavers say "round ups are going slow, its like their less wastelanders each year". This is probably the biggest flaw in Ashurs plan, he is building up the Pitt by strip mining dc. Mutants and the fact that its easier too kill and scavenge mean that without either the Brotherhood or the Enclave humanity would burn itself out in DC within 50 year.

I remember one being a retired adventurer who needed a place too keep all his stuff. If you look around their are no kids, or even 20 something people, tenppeny tower is the florida of post apocolyptic world.

Now now, don't be silly. The game gives an explanation for that: the tenents pay their rent and Tenpenny uses that money to pay the guards and personnel, and to buy supplies.

Of course this brings us back to the problem that there's no explanation on the source of income of the tenents...
