i cant believe bethesda chose not to include the enclave.

Obsidian is the developer.

no they werent. they svcked. the graphics were bad.
the story svckz
it was an rpg.
it was too hard. you could get killed in like 5 hits.
and ammo was too hard to find.

:slap: :slap: :slap:
That's what made Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 it epic. It wasn't a streamlined no-brainer like most games no-a-days are. You actually had to use your brain to play it and I find it very disturbing that so many gamer object towards games that make you actually USE it. I mean, your brain isn't just for school you know

Edit: Three slaps where enough

Great list of sources there. Could do with some better formatting though IMO. Things like a unified font, systematic color scheme (which you sort of have going but not completely), bullet/number system, some use of bold, italic and/or indentation for the FAQ section, proper punctuation and consistent spacing in the FAQ section, etc. Right now it's a bit of a jumble, especially in the FAQs section. Though it's still a great resource and I appreciate the work you put in to collect all this info. If you want I'd be happy to do some formatting, but if not I understand of course. Either way, thanks for doing this and I hope it stays alive.

well its odd. when i go on the thread i see tons of new guys looking at it. but none of them seem to post.

I think they're scared of the bear.

Ontopic, do I have to?
Oh well, seriously man it's nice to have all those links there, time for me to get even more up to date with what's been released (and spoil myself even more.).

I thought the whole point of this thread was so that new people didn't HAVE to use the search button?

Yeah, i'm almost completely sure there will be normal grenades, especially as there are now grenade launchers and grenade machineguns,

im sorry.
i hadnt really looked up anything about fallout new vegas.

There's a quick scene with it in one of the gameplay show-offs. (YouTube Fallout New Vegas gameplay)
Yup. When you complete a quest you can use a weapon to paint an area for the Archimedes II Orbital Solar Super Laser Cannon Satellite once per 24 hours. Charges don't stack AFAWK

» Fri Jan 14, 2011 12:59 am

Charges don't stack AFAWK

Which is pretty bad IMO.
Should be able to stack up 3-5 charges at least.
He's already confirmed that it isn't an instakill beam. (J.E)

One of the video links at the start of this thread will have it in.

If you havent read up much about it then the list is a really good way to start. Read the Q,A section at the start of this thread too.
