*sips coffee* : Fallout: New Vegas

From the looks of the forums now, i'm the only one that actually enjoyed this DLC. Anyone else?

I like it very much, you're just seeing the vocal minority shouting at the top of their lungs here.

I really did enjoy the DLC, the story was a bit short, but I'm far from done and its great to explore new areas in the rain.

It's great, although there could be improvements that would make it awesome.

-Being able to side with the White Legs.
-Taking Joshua and/or Follows-Chalk back to the Mojave as companions
-Starting the DLC from a Legion perspective. Not as a Happy Trails caravan guard, but as a Legion assassin sent to hunt down Graham, using the White Legs in Zion.
-A small makeshift settlements of New Canaanites would also be great. Only civilized people there are Daniel and Graham.

That's not to say I didn't enjoy the DLC. I did so immensly, and I've got Graham's armor and pistol to play with in the Mojave.

Speaking of sipping coffee... I'm just upset that the Black Coffee has a -Agi modifier.

I just had a big cup of black coffee myself, and I don't feel any less agile. If anything, I probably gained AP.

Nope.. im with ya.. i enjoyed it .. well.. am enjoying it.. more hunting to do and caves to loot before i make my final choice. ( end quest)
and i can see comming back for quite sometime to follow more ridges and check more nooks and crannies.
They have done a good job with the game as a whole as far as i am concerned.
I started gaming in 82 and have had the good fortune of playing some games i will always look back on fondly.
FO (all of them) has secured a nice place in my list.

Ah. Good to see i'm not the only one enjoying this fine piece of work here. It was overhyped and almost everyone is crying that it didn't reach their personal 10/10 marker or they doofed and shot the first friendly NPC they saw. Loved the storyline, if anything I have to complain about its

all the tribals vanishing after the credits, leaving Zion empty besides animals.

i honestly don't see how it ISN'T good. what do people have to complain about? what were they expecting that they didn't get? personally i'm savoring every second of it, haven't even come close to beating it yet and i don't think i will for a good while :hubbahubba:

Depends on the ending. In my game, Graham and Daniel have left but the Sorrows and Dead Horses camps are still occupied.

Ah nuts. I-

Evacuated Zion, is that why they all left?

I enjoyed it, I just didn't enjoy it as much as O:A, Pitt, PL and DM.

So far I have no reason to dislike it. I love to explore (more than reading story....) so for me it's been fun. Minus some CTD's... :whistling:

I enjoyed the scenery. I thought it was beautiful. I loved the .45 sub. My main concerns are length and a completely uninspired story. I loved Fallout 3's packs, but so far NV is coming up lacking. I definitely enjoyed it more than Dead Money though. I would have happily paid 400 credits for it and been happy as a clam. 800 for HH is overpaying.

Idle curiosity: I don't know how these xbox/console credits/points work. How does that equate vs. actual dollars.

800 credits = 9.99
400 credits = 4.99

800 credits = 9.99
400 credits = 4.99

But what does one do to get "credits." I assume it's something different than just giving them money/cash in straight exchange for virtual credits.

Actually you just swap out money.

400cr = $4.99US
800cr = $9.99US

I've only gotten a little way into Honest Hearts, but so far I'm liking what I see. I'm especially pleased at having uses for items I would previously have ignored completely, such as Coffee Mugs. Haven't used many of the new recipes much yet, as I rarely bother with chems or poisons, but the new healing items will be handy.

I got my hands on the Compliance Regulator and I'm rather unimpressed, although the fact it freezes the target in his/her/its tracks with each hit does redeem it somewhat. I could see that being handy against Yao Guai if one did not bring any heavy weapons, for example.

It's not an even exchange, but yes, it's cash for credits essentially.

you just go buy a card or have them charge your CC. i dont get why nintendo and microsoft use those points though, why not just be normal and use money? what does steam do?

» Fri Dec 17, 2010 2:55 am

It's a marketing tactic.

You spend more that way.

I wish they would do what PSN does and just have a wallet.

» Fri Dec 17, 2010 3:16 am

Oh ok. For some reason I thought it was some kind of "rewards" program or something.

Thanks for the info.

And Lord_Kain, Steam does money/cc. If they do anything else I don't know about it.

They are pretty much comparable though. PSN just seems like it works better. What people tend to forget is that there is a minimum purchase amount. It has to be at least 5.00 dollars, even if you're only buying a 99 cents costume in Little Big Planet. In the end they are about even. I would just prefer using money in place of points. Give me a set price and I will happily pay it instead of trying to figure out how many credits I need.

You can, RP it. Caesar only sees the White Legs as puppets so use them accordingly. Kill Graha from the inside out and learn his plans. Then set up accordingly to make sure the White Legs win. Just not indirectly ot through the main quest.

I wish so too, should have been more New Canaanites. The Dead Hrose Camp should have been expanded to show a highly frotified mix of New Canaanites and Dead Horses.
