100th post :celebration: (not counting OP)

i also wished i could have learned more of his past.
thats why im so exited about companion quests

Yeah me too. I can't wait to find out about Lily.



Hey, trying to steal my thunder. Get back I say. :ninja:

As my signature suggest, I'm going to miss all the anti-communist rhetoric of Fallout 3. I don't expect there to be as much of it in the New Vegas area (despite Nevada being significantly more libertarian than Maryland). I'll miss the Jeffeson Memorial and all the other great national monuments of the Mall. I'll also miss having a large and active Brotherhood of Steel -- I loved their citadel, which had a very "military industrial complex" type of feeling. Most of all I'll miss the voice of Malcolm McDowell on the radio.

Fawkes, Liberty Prime and the experience I had just stepping out of the vault. It was amazing.

I'll miss stepping out of the vault and exploring the school right by vault 101 (forgot the name of the school), and running away in fear after I ran out of ammo and was nearly dead.


I'll miss the time I was out wandering the wasteland at midnight one night, only to scream when I had a random death claw attack me, waking up the whole house..good times, good times.

I'll mis Nuka-Cola Quantum. It was terribly refreshing.

I know this is from awhile back, but that's actually not true. In the US, we're mainly an exporter of resources. We import stupid crap like plastic toys and junk. Besides, it's not like those resources are gone. They're in the buildings, machines, and landfills all around. It would be pretty easy to scavenge building materials without having to go into one of the thousands upon thousands of mines we have.


I get what you mean, I love the post-apocalypse too, but it makes sense that we would be rebuilding. Radiation takes a very long time to dissipate, but not for it to fall within safe levels. I imagine a world near-saturated would take longer, but Hiroshima and Nagasaki are perfectly safe these days. And don't worry - even though there's civilization, we're going to spend lots of time in wilderness, and probably nearly as much exploring ruins and abondoned areas.

EDIT: to stay on topic, I will miss Moira Brown and the lovely monuments of DC. As much as I'm done with Fallout 3, I REALLY hope we can revisit these sites eventually.

Me too. But its not so bad, we have http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Raul_Tejada instead. Charon's long-lost Mexican cousin (probably).

i will miss stockholm noble protecter of megaton and dispenser of awsome

Subtle cannibalism, a la Andale. So creepy.

The feeling of stepping out of the vault for the first time and thinking what the [censored] am I gunna do now?!

I know this is only a game - so the following (out of topic) is written mostly because I found this discussion interesting.

My point was that with full scale nuclear war all transport networks, mines, factories etc. will be destroyed. So even there is gold and oil in Alaska it doesn't help much in New Vegas .... There will not be much flora or fauna left - thanks to nuclear winter and after that UV (ozone layer will be wiped away). What will be left is cockroaches, viruses, bacteria and might be rats ...

So before fauna and flora can recover (to level we are used to) - it needs a lot of evolution and birth of species.

When people can hardly get their food - they don't focus to anything else than getting it - it means knowledge and civilization will just disappear during first decades. So will disappear most of machines and electronics. If a car stays out for 50 years - there is not much left of it ... especially after acid rains ... and the same formula goes pretty much for everything - even for buildings.

Even e.g New Vegas didn't get direct hit - its inhabitants needs to be sheltered over nuclear winter (-22F and totally dark period for one Year) - and if they survive it, they can't be in direct sun light for years. Afterwards there will not be left anything to farm. So first decades they are searching rats and cockroaches for food. They are also very sick - a lot of cancer - their children will be mostly mutated etc. etc..

From that kind of situation it is hard to believe in 200 years they reach an technology level close to present.

the missing of the whole bombed out part wtf i wanted vegas destroyed

I will miss the Gary clones for some odd reason.

I will miss the Post-Holocost Monuments,(they are almost as good as the real ones.) I am gonna miss the Shishkabob and Burnmaster Flamer, ( I am a Pyromaniac at heart.) I will miss Fawkes, (best Companion IMHO.) And I will miss the general desolation of the Capital Wasteland.

I will miss the patriotic music of the enclave, charging at a deathclaw while yankee doodle dandy is awesome

Gary.

how destroyed and barren everything was.

fawkes

Well you gonna love Wild Wasteland then. That trait gives you the weirdest things that happen. Some good, some bad. Hopefully better then, "Thanks for the help, me and this group gathered a present for you, take this cereal, its our graditude".

@skyojack im pretty sure shiskabab and flamers are still in game. So dont let your fire die. (lol get it, you see how i did that.... o what ever..) :sadvaultboy:

Agreed companion quest will be exciting. Specialy ED-E i want to know what the enclave wanted.

Sergeant RL-3 glitch i'll miss it a lot, no more all companions on console QQ... unless a glitch shows up that mimics that of Sergeant's.

I will miss Eulogy Jones the most, ya ya he was an arrogant jerk, lead the slavers, and you sure could not trust him as far as you could spit, but man that cat knew how to dress... And he did sell me Clover and he did not lie she was one freaky chick

I'm going to miss the familiarity. I loved Fallout 3, and Having been to DC many times, it was interesting walking from where I stayed to the Washinton Monument, taking a new tour of the Capital Building, and walking by the Reflection Pool. It just drew me in, because it was my Nation's capital, and I had been there.

Vegas won't have that for me. I've been there too, so the glitz and glam factor and the casinos will click, as well as some of the surrounding cities, but without those monuments and landmarks, I won't have the same feeling. That's fine and all, but it was quite a nice feel. :tops:
