I don't recall. The opening was on youtube (and all subsequent clones) but it was taken down faster then Moira Brown at a Gun Convention.

Honestly? After seeing the terrible art direction in Dragon Age 2, I just can't bring myself to find flaws in any other game at all.

As far as I'm concerned, New Vegas is perfect.

I've got one big thing to complain about,


it's all YOU complaining!!!!!!!!!!
:flame:

Damn well if it was it was if not then at least it doesn't ruin much of the story.

Omygoshmyfavoritethreadisback!:D

What to complain about...
Actually I'm rather excited for New Vegas.
Repcon sounds interesting now but it still looks like a clowns ass.
So I'm taking back that complaint.

And adding: The achievements for this game is the 2nd worst achievement list I've ever seen.

And then I don't think I have more to complain about... Huh... Too anxious for the game I guess.

I'm complaining about all the complainers complaining in this complaint thread.

The only thing i can crticise:
IT IS NOT OUT YET!!! :cryvaultboy:

This X2

I'm all for constructive criticism, but it baffles me that we can have a six pages long thread criticising and complaining about a game that hasn't even been released yet.

only complaint, the effects of hardcoe mode is take it or leave it, instead of giving us the option to choose how it effects.

The beta textures svcked... I hope they use their new wasteland textures as their finale texture. I think it was at the beginning of the tv ad trailer and at the part where a guy was shooting two glowing ones with a shotgun.

Caeser's Legion. For some reason a bunch of people pretending to be badass dressed up as ancient Roman soldiers just doesn't sit well with me in a post-apocalyptic setting.

Pretending?

Also, they dont really look like "ancient Roman soldiers". Reminds me more of the goons in Mad Max 2, which is VERY post apocalyptic IMO. But yes, they're trying to imitate the Roman empire and they ARE badass! :rock:

Adding on to my complaint that there is no poker variant (although thats understandable) im annoyed there has been next to no HUD/UI improvements. Companion wheel, sure thats an improvement but the rest is still as bad as it was in Fallout 3.

And space armor and 1940's English Army helmets does?

constructively, i would like to criticise FO:NV, for not including a better load order system. Again, unless you will tell me now , we will end up using FOMM. While FOMM maybe me much more advanced than the devs should care to match, i think more friends will be made if they don't have to download any extra utilities for their first play through with mods.

Load order system?
FOMM?
Extra utilities?

well Beth isn′t really assuming there game needs to be altered by 500 mods to be good.


I run Fallout 3 with 2 mods, the standard setup works for me.

Um. In soviet personal computing, we make mods, mods don't come to us at the digression of big bully power players who chargE $$$

edit: @ralos i thought there was a big problem with mods being unchecked randomly if you mess with the load order through the launcher?

eh no, naturally the launcher is built to handle a few mods, FOMM was mostly built to help people avoid load issues when you have like 20 mods on at the same time.

Yes. These are just my own personal tastes. :shrug:

I've also always had a problem with the "medeival knights and speech" of the Brotherhood of Steel as well, and abandoning their more modern Army rank structure (Private, Lieutenant, Colonel, etc.) in favor of such ranks of "Paladin" and "Knight" I don't much like either. It really clashes with the ultra-high-tech appeal of the BoS and would've been more appropriate with a group of tribals. I like the Enclave's ascetic more than the BoS for this very reason as they are more in-line with what I consider "science fiction", even if the Enclave are a bunch of evil bastards I fight against.

Really, at the core of it all is that I really don't like anything that comes too close to "fantasy" RPGs ("Fantasy" being my catch-all term for anything resembling D&D, Conan, Sword & Sorcery, Tolkien, Medeival, etc.). I figure that if I wanted more of that stuff, I'd go play Dragon Age or Oblivion. In fact, the whole reason I've been a big fan of Fallout throughout the years, and what motivated me to pick up a copy of Fallout 1 the day it hit the shelves all those years ago, is because it was an RPG set in a world that WASN'T "fantasy", as the market was saturated with them at the time (and arguably still is).

but the legion isn′t a fantasy element as a Historical one, based on our own History.

This is true, I know (and applies to the BoS as well), but the whole of fantasy is based on our history. A particular fictional version of history that I've frankly had my fill of thanks to many, many, MANY, MANY other RPGs. Admittedly, in recent years game developers have branched out RPGs into many other genres more often (sci-fi, post-apocalyptic, superhero, espionage, etc), but when I was a kid it seemed like a majority of the RPGs available were D&D or some variant on the medeival fantasy world thereof.

The Brotherhood was never part of the military (as far as I can recall); though some of the first were in the army. Its long since become a cult (even before Fallout 1). They have used the knights, and scribe titles (as I you know), in every game to date.

I just now read through the BOS WIKI entry and it says, "with roots in the American military and government-sponsored scientific community from before the Great War", but I can't tell its been retconed or just appended... (to incorporate FO3).

**an early http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfOVLdmEHkgactually used an armored fantasy knight as the demo character.

I'm going from personal memory here and I remember reading a computer journal entry about the BoS being derived from US Army soldiers and scientists, who eventually became the BoS. Why they suddenly decided to use the whole medeival knight motif is beyond me. :shrug: But if I'm recalling correctly, the journal was written by a ranking US Army officer just after the bombs fell.



I could swear the computer journal entry I read was from one of the first two Fallouts. I think you got it inside a military base, but I forget which one.
