-Walks past Lucas Simms-

"You have my ear citizen."

I think that the overall idea for F:NV was "It ain't broke, so we won't fix it". The game engine, combat system, and dialogue system didn't change much.

The chief alterations, I think, were:
1. Allowing four final paths to take instead of one, which I think was good. I do think that House and the Legion got a bit short-changed, as most of the "faction" quests seemed to focus either on the NCR or on smaller factions (Boomers, Brotherhood, Folowers, etc.) Each faction would have brought sometimng different to the table:
NCR: Democracy and rule of law, but bureaucracy and high taxes.
Legion: Civilization and total security, but oppression, slavery, and atrocities.
House: Economic growth and technological advancement, but intrusive, controlling government.
Independent: Absolute freedom (to the point of anarchy), but lawlessness and violence.
Choose the one that suits your fancy best.

2. Replacing F3's reliance on Karma with Reputation
This allowed a more realistic gaming experience, and a more complex one, but it seemed to be missing a lot of the heart that Fallout 3 had. a lot of that lay in the player's ultimate goal as well: helping a single faction dominate the others, vesrus helping everyone.

wtf. why?

Because it was 2007. It was meant as a parody gag that I thought no one could ever consider seriously doing ~little did I know at the time...

Guess what else... I made another parody gag that thought no one could ever consider seriously doing ~Point Lookout was unannounced at the time.

Gizmo I do notice another video that you did with.....Dawn of War? Now only if Relic made an Inquisitor RPG.....

They make out of this world RTS' games, but I dunno if they'd do a decent RPG.

They are making what looks like a DOW based GOW clone though, called Space Marine. Looks like it might be really good.

I wish DOW2 played like their concept... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzVlpUf7e5w

I think personality is different for different groups of players. When I think Fallout 'personality'... I think of Fallout 1's general attitude. In this FO:NV seems closer than FO3 IMO. **With one exception: Fallout 3 had a fantastic (very, VERY "Fallouty" landscape and general art design ~it was everything else that seemed off to me.)

lol. WTF. that looked so terrible.

I thought so... (I hoped so )

Clearly you arent getting the joke.

@Gizmo- That Oblivion mod- My first thought was 'UNIVERSES HAVE COLLIDED' xD

no, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO

M. Night Shamalan? :spotted owl:

don't make me disconnect you from your machines!

M. Night Shamalan releases his next film, Happening 2, where our protagonist must escape the deadliest product of nuclear war, Fallout carried by the WIND!

No, nononononno :bolt:

Terry Gilliam (Can it be denied that he would put some serious 'personality' into it?)

*Can't use http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj125/Gizmojunk/Bruce.jpg , but perhaps http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj125/Gizmojunk/cage.jpg (it may, just maybe, be a role that he'd thrive in ~unlike his last many movies, that I really wanted to like, but couldn't.)

Nah, Uwe Boll.

I should burn you alive for uttering that name. :verymad:

Fallout 3, directed in collaboration between Micheal Bay and M. Knight Shyamalan.

Personally, New Vegas didn't have nearly enough desert in it, but what desert it did have was great.

The whole exploration thing... I reckon Fallout: New Vegas missed the effect that the DC metro had on the player's progress in Fallout 3. Some moaned that it was a fake and repetitive way to extend the game, but it did require figuring out and was a lot better than none at all.

Anyway, the upshot is there's always stuff in a game that just wasn't finished in time. New Vegas' shortcomings in that regard are more obvious, is all.

Gizmo, for the love of God, please don't do any more parody gags. Every time you do them, they turn out to be true!

Seriously though, those were hilarious. But oh so depressing at the same time.

I agree, Bethesda art department did a superb job, only if the rest of the team can catch up.

LOL

Well, this time I think he kinda outclasses himself. Seems like some sort of mix between Morrowind and Fallout maybe? Dolph Lundgren the Nerevarine, directed by Uwe Boll? I mean, that's gotta be a classic

Release 2011, and I'm guessing 11.11.11 for some reason

All your parodies become real!

When I was watching Gizmo's vid I saw this.
