Fallout: New Vegas
Cire27:
How do they fix that really, though? I mean, people don't usually face their upper body one way and walk in diagonal direction, twisting their lower body, so if they do it in a video game it looks really unnatural. Just as unnatural as the gliding thing.

Opening Cinematic. Reveals who shot you and what you were carrying, but given that it's in the opening cinematic, it's not really a spoiler. The video looks like it's been doctored a bit, even if the content is almost certainly legit. It seems not a little odd that the PC would survive with several bullets in the head in a shallow grave for one month.
If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say the poker chip is some sort of vitally important factor in who comes out on top in New Vegas, and that Benny is stealing it to put himself in a position of power. You get the chip, then you decide who gets its benefits.

Mysterious Stranger is back!? YES

Caravan Card game... revealed!
--- Quote from: 'J.E. Sawyer' ---
--- Quote ---Still a whole lot of ambiguities in those rules. Which cards can be "played against"-- all cards in a caravan, or only the one most recently played? Does "continuing the numerical direction" mean just the next number up or down, or can we skip numbers and play a 6 as the second card after a 4?

Numbered cards/aces can only be played at the end of one of your caravans. Face cards/jokers can be played on any card in your caravans OR your opponent's caravans.
Continuing the numerical direction means up/down. If your cards go 8 6 5, your next card can be 4, 3, 2, A of any suit. Alternately, you could play a higher card of the same suit. For example, if the 5 were the 5 of spades, you could play a 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 as long as it were a spade. You can reverse the direction of a caravan by playing a queen on the last card in the caravan. That caravan also then takes the suit of the queen.
--- Quote ---It's an interesting idea that it doesn't use a complete card deck, though. Possibly explained by post-War scarcity? (Not that there would be a shortage of complete decks of cards in Vegas, of course, but by the name the game probably originated with the traders out on the Waste.)
--- End quote ---
Caravan is a non-casino (some might say anti-casino) game that was invented by caravan guards who lacked complete/matching decks. They turned that fact of life into a core element of the game (deck building).

KvP:
Meet the companions. Each gives a certain unique bonus to the player when in the party, ala KOTOR2, which is nice.
One of these companions is the descendant of a Fallout 2 companion, but I won't spoil it (if it's not obvious).
