Are you playing on Very Hard on Hardcore mode? I really don't see any other way to make the experience more difficult/realistic.
Yes and yes. I suppose it's because the guards are there mostly to catch you if you steal stuff, since most people are unlikely going to start murderin' for getting caught stealing a few bottlecaps.

Well you could mod it harder.
That's one option, but I haven't gotten around to installing the NVSE for the good ones. Any reccomendations? I haven't come across many mods that modify combat.

 I'm looking at XFO right now, and the alternate armor system (DR/DT) looks pretty good. I'd install it but it would probably make the game impossibly complicated to play for my dad - he's on the same computer.  :-P

It's a lot better now with the patch. All the energy weapons have more punch. ED-E is even halfway useful in combat - I was surprised to load up my game post-patch to find ED-E single-handedly stomping groups of radscorpions that were consistently murdering him pre-patch.

So Zenimax filed some trademarks that are pretty obvs DLC names - Honest Hearts (the speculated New Canaan DLC), Lonesome Road and Old World Blues.

My prediction:
Honest Hearts = New Canaan
Lonesome Road = The Divide
Old World Blues = The Big Empty / Tibbets

Finally got my new character up to level 20 and started Dead Money last night. I made it as far as getting Dog out of his cell and then I had to go to bed.

I'm looking forward to playing through this, the world is interesting, the characters (the two I've met) have been weird and fascinating, and the gameplay seems like it will be unique and challenging enough to keep me busy for a little while, especially considering the snail's pace that I play at.

I'm the kind of person who has to slowly examine everything around me, just to make sure I got everything and it seems like I'll actually benefit from this in Dead Money, particularly in Hardcore mode, since they take every thing away from you right at the start and the world itself is slowly killing you (not to mention the other hazards).


Anyway, yeah, I've barely begun it but already I'm really enjoying it. I know finding and shooting those radios is gonna be a real pain in the ass at times, but it shouldn't be too bad. I hope.

Still doing the main quest line now. Man, politics. I'm really bummed out that everyone wants to wipe out the Brotherhood, so I guess I'm just going to go the independent way and pull the plug on Mr. House. But I'm not enjoying it.

A lot of the stuff that's said about them in this game is true too - what made them likable in Fallout 3 was that they were kinda rebelling against the leadership back in NCR - all the "we hoard everything for ourselves and ignore outsiders" stuff that they were against is pretty big in New Vegas.

Btw, you don't have to kill them, at least not for Mr. House or the NCR, as far as I remember.

Not as NCR (though there are natural consequences as they were at war not too long ago) and not as an Independent. There's a PC mod that allows the same with Mr. House, but in vanilla and console versions you have to nuke 'em if you want to be a House guy. Unsurprisingly this is point at which a lot of otherwise "good"-aligned players stopped working for him.

Doesn't surprise me it was well made. Zack Finfrock is the guy from Indy Mogul's "Backyard FX", where they make props and camera equipment for cheap amounts of money that usually end up being pretty good. One of their latest episodes was him talking about how they made some of the major props for Nuka Break, such as the Pip-Boy and whatever the large gun in it is (which was made entirely of cardboard, iirc).

so...I've been taking breaks of NV intermittently for other games but now I'm back in the zone and it's awesome.

I'm still working on Dead Money, and on HC mode it's definitely alot of fun. It's actually a challenge to survive (sort of...sometimes), and the fact that they made uses for previously useless stuff (Junk Food, Turpentine, Pre-War Money, cigs, etc.) is really awesome. Except for the fact that my adorable scientist Shelly Sundial is fully addicted to Buffout, Whiskey, Vodka, and Sierra Madre Martinis since I'm drinking constantly in order to carry around all my junk when my companions are indisposed.

Anyway....finished Dead Money last night. I'm actually pretty dang impressed.

I must have done the last part like  five times before I finally got it right. Good thing I had so much practice too because by the time I actually did escape, I had figured out what I needed and what I didn't need so I was able to carry 4 gold bars out.

Not sure if this deserves it own thread, according to the wiki page the next installment is an MMORPG called Fallout: Online and set to release in 2012
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_Online

more research is needed.

This is actually separate to the main series. When Interplay sold Fallout to Bethsoft, they reserved the rights to farm an MMORPG to a third party or whatever. There were lawsuits and I'm not sure what's going on between them at the moment.

Apparently, Bethsoft's youtube channel briefly posted a trailer for the Honest Hearts DLC (apparently when they shouldn't have) and the NMA types got screenies of it.







Looks like a confirmation for whoever claimed that it would take place in Zion National Park.

Additionally, a number of outlets are reporting that the preview for next month's PS3 Qore digital mag mentions a sneak peek at Old World Blues with the tag "Are you the scientist, or the guinea pig?" which all-but-explicitly points to it taking place at the Big Empty, a central location of Black Isle's FO3 and apparent experimental weapons tech facility / torture suite in the official canon. Chris Avellone's twitter avatar is a FO3 computer screen displaying a giant eyeball, which is probably ULYSSES / ODYSSEUS (likely the latter, given there's already a Ulysses character), the facility's state-of-the-art supercomputer.

I wish they could still be working on some of the bugs in the original game.

I just got a quest ending bug and I had to clear my cache in order to get it finished correctly.

The game itself is amazing though.  I just hit level 20 and I have had some really awesome stuff happen.

Like I was stalking a group of heavily armed Viper Gunslingers in an abandoned town.  I just had sniped one of them when something slammed me from behind.  I tuned around and saw a Deathclaw.  I took a dose of Turbo and Med X and sprinted into the center of town and hide behind a building.

The Vipers actually managed to kill the Deathclaw but the only one left alive was the leader who I finished off.  Then I took all their stuff.

They're still doing bugfixing. I think JE Sawyer mentioned not too long ago that they had found the reason Boone was owning the shit out of anything and everything - the bonus he got from his beret was continually stacking with itself, such that it didn't take long to surpass 100% critical chance. Basically the more awesome sibling to Dragon Age 2's permanent Isabella bug.

Art assets in game files point to it being the site of New Canaan, stronghold of the Mormons who control Utah, and it's going to incorporate the Burned Man (aka Joshua Graham, former Mormon and nigh-unkillable lieutenant of Caesar who was doused in pitch, set on fire and thrown off a cliff for losing the first battle at Hoover Dam). The original Van Buren docs for New Canaan were confusing, as there were two versions - one in which New Canaan was standing, and another in which it had been destroyed (as far as I know, they were for different builds). What I remember is that New Canaan was a fort controlled by devout Mormons and they wouldn't let anybody into the city, but there was a large population of refugees just outside the fort, and a power struggle was going on between the existing prophet, who fed and cared for the refugees, and a young upstart who wanted to kick them all out, and who I believe left the city to rile up a bunch of tribals for war. Meanwhile the fugees are growing more resentful that they won't be let into the city.

Were I to venture a wild guess, I'd say that we'll see something roughly similar with the young prophet replaced by the Burned Man, or something.

Hi everyone,

On behalf of all of the hard-working teams at Bethesda and Obsidian, I’d like to give you an update what we’ve been working on these past few months.

Well, here’s what happened: our next DLC release (announcement coming very soon, we promise) has been complete while we worked on getting a patch ready for you all. We didn’t want to just release more DLC before we had a patch that would improve the overall New Vegas experience.

The good news is that we do have such a patch and it’s been handed off to the necessary platform owners. It should be released in the next couple of weeks on 360, PS3 and PC (can’t be more specific than that, I’m afraid, although PC will almost certainly get it first).

So what’s in that patch? First and foremost, optimizations and stability improvements. While there are bug fixes, our core focus was on improving stability and performance. We worked directly with first party platform owners to identify issues, and we have fixed a great deal of the crashes and lockups that people were experiencing. In addition, we scoured the forums and this patch includes weapon balance tweaks and other requested fixes.

We know we’re not done yet. There’s still more work to do, and we’ll be monitoring the forums very carefully following the release of this patch, looking for more issues. We do have another update planned further down the line.

So I’d like to apologize for the radio silence. Hopefully you’ll be pleased with the enormous amount of work we’ve put into this update over the last few months, and will enjoy the rest of our DLC releases. We have some pretty cool stuff coming soon. Stay tuned!

Thanks,
Jason Bergman

just wanted to get some opinions on this perk: Quick draw.  Is it even worth it?  I dont see anything wrong with the normal draw time.  Is it just usless?  I kind have just stayed away from it.  Same with rapid reload.

I don't know about quick draw, but rapid reload is useful on higher difficulties and is absolutely essential for a Cowboy concept character - all the perk-buffed weapons are loaded by-bullet.

I don't know about quick draw, but rapid reload is useful on higher difficulties and is absolutely essential for a Cowboy concept character - all the perk-buffed weapons are loaded by-bullet.

It was the first perk I got on my cowboy character and my Energy/Guns sniper. Ammo is plentiful in NV.

I may pick up rapid reload then.  I am playing a cowboy type character.  Im lvl 22 and just ran out of perks that where useful.  I beat then game at lvl 20 the first time I played.  Figured I missed out on a bunch of content.

You must've, it's too easy to max your levels.

I feel like a single playthrough of FO:NV will almost definitely cover more area of the world map than a FO3 run will, but that's probably just because the easiest means of completing the first objective (find Benny) covers nearly half of the map. There's certainly much, much more content in FO:NV, no question.
