Old World Blues... Honest Hearts looks awesome, but Old World Blues sounds like it's gonna have some fun gadgets for me to play with.

50/50.

Honest Hearts for Graham and OWB for lvl 30 trait.

Lonesome Road; why? This description:


a job that leads you into the depths of the hurricane-swept canyons of the Divide, a landscape torn apart by earthquakes and violent storms



maybe some inclement weather, eh?

I was previously very excited for Old World Blues (new technology, what more can I say), but it seems to be similar to Dead Money. I might not even get it if it turns out to be just a rehash. Since I don't have much interest in Graham, it has to be Lonesome Road. The whole Courier Six and Ulysses relationship intrigues me.

They all sound amazing. I think I'll like the story in Lonesome Road best and all of their settings sound beautiful.

None have got me very jived but Lonesome Road sounds ok.

Honest Hearts, mostly because I can't wait to see Zion and hopefully some of Southern Utah all torn up and nuked. Something strangely appeal about seeing your home state Falloutified, that and in the screen shot we have the Burned Man looks pretty awesome. Lonesome Road is a close second because of the fact that it'll feature Ulysses who is probably one of the most interesting characters in Fallout to date.

Honest Hearts sounds so cool with the Burned Man, and I want to see how all of this plays outs. Lonesome Road sounds like one the most epic dlcs ever because of its hinted at story. Old World Blues sounds like Dead Money so I am not that excited for that one but it is still dlc so I have to get it.

Looking forward to Old World Blues. I think they will have some new monsters to kill. I keep hoping for a wanamingo. I know you all say they are extinct. But it would be very easy to have them at the Big Empty. And No-Bark made an offhanded comment about seeing one. Who knows, should be fun though.

Im not sure I dig what I have seen of honest hearts so far witch isnt much so just gota wiat it out. Id have to say old world blues is what im interested in the most at this point.

keep the pre war tec coming! :tops:

Not.
Wannamingos were a failed experiement by the Enclave/government using FEV to genetically create a new creature to fight for them.
How the hell are wannamingos or their design data suppose to be in Big Empty?
Who brought it there?
Will it have the resources or technology to create them?
Who would want to create them? They were after all a flawed experiment that failed.
And most importantly where is the FEV gonna come from? It only exists in three places, one is blown up, one is on the other side of the continent and one is either blown up, taken by the Shi or taken by the NCR.

Honest Hearts cause I'm anxious to see how Southern Utah is gonna look after the bombs fell and its my state. Lonesome road would be my next anticipated cause it sounds like there is gonna be an epic battle between 2 couriers in the end. Old World Blues sounds cool, but not really technology friendly unless its technology linked to bigger explosions and destruction. :whistling: :nuke:

Probly HH. OWB sounds like Dead money, and I dont realy want that agian :unsure: Lonesom road, Sounds cool, but Im afraid of what that will do to my rpring. I like to write my own storys, and I dont realy want to have to rediculously mold my storys to make make sence, and to match thiers some how ala fallout 3. :blush:

The Lonesome Road.It sounds like the most intense and interesting.Second would have to be Honest Hearts.

wait, so there ARE other sorces of FEV still? So the mutants (my fav creatures, deathclaws aside) AREN'T completely doomed?!?! :rock:
Which game said that one was either blown up, taken by the shi or NCR (im guessing those were all possible endings of 2 that haven't yet been clarified as to which is cannon)? Which game is on the other coast? I though everything from FO3 was gone...

In FO2 marcus makes claim that the "juices are flowing again" so there no reason the muties cant make babies as ugly as that is....
not sure if thats cannon of not.....
but then in tactics theyre trying to cure the sterility problem....
eh...

I think maybe the they think we never though we would go is Area 51 (there are supposed to be scientists hold up there after all...). I think he thinks we will be surprised because everyone assumes that 51 would have aliens and thus thinks it wont be there (though those people should be glad I'm not a dev, cuz I'd stick a whole hidden room filled with aliens and there tech, looking VERY similar to MZ just to piss people off, lol. I'd be with wild wasteland only though).


It can't, can it? thats odd, cuz Oblivion had weather and the same engine and I never notice an issue with it.

i say honest hearts or old world blues, i need some new armor i hate how the enclave armor is the best and the worst looking...i just hope for super high tech power armor from old world or some kind of "paladin" armor from the Mormons or something in HH

god paladin armor from the mormans would be awesome all shiney and gold trimmed or something and you can only get it with veary good morality. maybe looking like the enclave armor body with the T-51b's arms and some cloth like the ncr rangers' coat but just from the waist down, and some other rags on the shoulders....god im gonna be so horribly disappointed when it comes out.

West-Tek, blown up.
Mariposa, blown up and mostly drained out, might be in the hands of Shi or NCR.
Vault 87, draining up, V87 mutants desperately looking for more to no avail.
Only places FEV might still be present is Mariposa and V87.
But both has had their supplies used for years so I wouldn't expect there to be much more left.


It's not canon.
I'm sure they still have sperm but it's not fertile.

All of your questions are easily answered and pose no real problems. They said that Old World Blues will help explain some mutated monsters of the wastes. So, I'm guessing FEV is going to be involved. This is the problem I have with the canon concept. Too many people get hung up on canon. Yes, it helps continuity in the series, but it does not explain what is happening everywhere. We do not know the full extent of the enclave/gov't experiments nor do we know all of the vault system's experiments. And there are many areas of the country we have really no idea what is going on. I bet before fo3 you would have said that FEV ONLY existed in two places. Well, guess what, it was on the east coast too.

And from what i read about the Big Empty, it might have the most scientific resources we have seen yet. I don't know for sure of course, but we will find out soon. And so what if wanamingos failed in the earlier experiment. That doesn't mean they might have a slightly different experiment somewhere else associated with wanamingos. One that experienced a bit more success. Very possible. The point is, don't get hung up on canon. All the canon really does is explain what happened in THOSE locations at THOSE times. The devs could easily bring wanamingos back in my opinion. I don't think they will, but like i said in my original post, I am hoping.

I see no reason why Chris Avellone, the project director/lead designer/or whatever of Old World Blues and writer of the Fallout Bible would go back on his own word.
Sure OWB holds potential for a lot of stuff but what reason is there to add in wannamingo's?
If Big Empty is where they were created then I'd like some data on them from holotapes and terminal entries but I see no point to add in wannamingo's just for the sake of adding in wannamingo's.
Detailed data on how they were created, for what purpose and what the results were is more than enough.
But there's no reason to have them rise from the grave.

Heh tell me you wouldn't like one of them stuffed and mounted over the fire place
As for the rest of that i would really love to see the research info on them cause theyre one of the few creatures you dont really get to know much about other then theyre in your way slaughter them for money type quests in FO2.

I am not sure offhand, I'd have to say Lonesome Road at the moment. I'll be buying all of them, but I'll see which one I enjoy the most.

Honest hearts and lonesome road, I'm prolly not getting the old world blue or old blue world or whatever it was called..

See this is the whole problem with getting hung up on the bible. He wrote that a while ago. Things change. He wants to sell games, so why not give the player the chance to see a wannamingo face to face in real time? That is the opportunity I want. And I bet there are others who do too. That is the reason to have them "rise from the grave."

Obviously you want to hold onto the bible and that is fine. I just would like the opportunity to open a door and see a wannamingo standing there. I would get that "oh, crap" feeling. Doesn't that sound fun? I don't think it will happen. But what could happen is a new monster that could appear. I think players are looking for a BOSS type of enemy. Just something that makes you want to run away or at the very least makes your blood pressure rise because you aren't sure if you can beat that enemy. So, in that regard, I say Old World Blues has great potential to provide that opportunity.
