My opinion on a couple things/Review

Post » Sun Apr 24, 2011 2:46 pm

Ok first off I like the game as it starts off, the whole thing the Doc mitchell and the Charisma machina was pretty awesome along with the ink blots. I also enjoyed how I was introduced to Hard aiming and Geckos through the towns local law enforcer/rancher. The first legitimate quest that introduces you to powder gangers was very well formatted. I believe it achieved everything that a starter quest of a Fallout game should accomplish; those things being: Introducing the player to Moral choices, showing the player to gamble, introducing multiple factions and peoples thoughts about each, showing the player that skills aren't just limited to the battlefield and that the proper know how grants advantages, and finally that you have to prepare for battles or else you'll probably die from lack of food, water, ammo and being out gunned.

Moving on,

In the Mojave Outpost I liked seeing the NCR soldiers all setup and fortified, what I liked more is that almost all of them had opinions on the war with Ceacers legion. I also liked that instead of sitting around waiting at the outpsot they'd rather help the caravans move in order to restore trading in the wastes but command told them to stay put and the fact that you don't see NCR soldiers patrolling randomly through out the desert told me that the war had taken a toll on them, unlike in Fallout 3 where you would see the BOS and Outcasts patrolling all the time despite their constant losses to Super Mutants who beat them down with sheer force and the Enclave who out tech'd the BOS by a Decade. F:NV just feels so much more realistic and the fact that we also get an even more realistic mode tells me that Obsi made this game the way they intended to, give or take a couple of bugs here and there which honestly probably couldn't of been helped.

This will be the last part of my Review, I might update it later but I wanna get back to F:NV.

Caesars Legion: Honestly I didn't like how they were introduced. I was expecting the game to be just neutral on the matter of the NCR and the legion but they just came right out and said heres the legion there hella evil deal with it. I know everyone called the town that the legion massacred was a horrible place in replacement of a word that would have been censored but If we were allowed to experience the place as being the censored word it was then see the legion come in and wipe it out it would have been much better for neutralitys sake.

Also while im at righting the review i'd also like to report a bug. When I encountered a problem while downloading a Demo the other day I was told to delete it and start downloading it over againg. Well it wouldn't delete so I was then told to clear my cache, which worked. Well heres where fallout gets involved: It was a dark and stormy night and I got disconnected form Xbox live while playing Cod and when I started up Fallout NV a pop up. . . popped up on my screen alerting me to the fact that some content may be unusable with this Version of Fallout. so I skipped past that and started playing, any way I got on the next day got connected to live got the updates and all that but I didn't use any of the stuff from the Classic pack the night before. Getting to the point is that when ever I pull out the Weatherd 10mm it has a giant exclamation point instead of a gun. I haven't used the vault 13 suit that much but the Canteen works fine.

After rereading I noticed that the last paragraph is full of puns, I blame the Tops for that. completely unintentional. but i'm serious about that.
