does the Big Empty mean awesome new gear? : Fallout: New Vegas

» Thu Mar 03, 2011 3:06 am

We learned that the Big Empty is full of amazing pre-war tech, including the well sought after Ghost People suits. Do you think we'll get a lot of new stuff from Old World Blues? Instead of a couple guns and a few suits of armour like Dead Money.

Well it seems we're getting the Microwave Emitter again, then we get some new armor and a force rod melee weapon.
It's safe to say that OWB will be filled with high tech crap lying around.

From the hints that Avellone has dropped, I'm guessing there will be a gadget that lets us reallocate our points and choices. Maybe we'll get that plastic surgery some people have been asking about?

I certainly hope so. I would also like high a Science and/or Energy Weapons skill to shine in this DLC.

Maybe a high-tech barber.

Actually, pretty much any barber will do. A whole city full of people and yet only one guy knows how to cut hair?

The Big Empty is a high-tech military research facility(If you see preview video).

I'm sure there are many goody stuff with high-tech weapons.

I hope there's a bit of alien technology inside the Big Empty.
I'd love to see the return of the Alien Disintegrator and Atomizer.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the ATHENA power armor appear.

The way Elijah described the place, I'm expecting some bizarre stuff.

i can't say i know what that is but it's a power armour so yes i would like to see it there

It was a power armor project being developed by the Enclave and Poseidon Energy before the war, http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Athena.

god i hope so FO:NV is a real desapointment on PA's nothing new was introduced and they are so scarce that it's ludicrus :facepalm:

» Thu Mar 03, 2011 1:53 pm

I'm guessing that there will be insane and mutated test subjects that the Enclave were testing on from before the war. Maybe even if we're lucky, we'll see mutated Enclave scientists. That would be pretty cool. With the same Enclave scientist suits from FO3, they would look similar to Ghost People.

Well theres the remnant's stuff, and the NCR salvaged gear.

I know they're both not really 'new', but whatever.

you have 2 mark 2 PA'a in the entire game one Mark2 tesla PA and that is it for the remnants

NCR salvaged armour in not a PA it's a metal coffin where agility losses make it uselles

and there are very few ingame non factional t45b and even less t51b and 0 unique varients (and yes i don't count the tesla Armour as a unique varient)

» Thu Mar 03, 2011 4:20 pm

Well it shouldn't be common anyway. The only people with it are the Brotherhood and Enclave, both of whom have a small presence in game.

» Thu Mar 03, 2011 3:56 pm

i agree they shoulden't be common well not has common like in FO3 that you would kick a rock and find a tesla PA or mark 2 PA, anyway there should be some millitary facilitys in NV where you should find some, and this is about OWB's where if you can't find PA in there it's really wierd do you agree?

» Thu Mar 03, 2011 3:30 pm

In the brief clip of OWB, you see some kind of unique armor. It almost looked like an advanced combat armor. But seeing that the Big Mt is a pre war military research facility of some sort, there has to be a boat load of unique weapons and armor. I'm hoping for some extremely cool Prototype Advanced Power Armor or cool weapons that have never been used. To be honest, I'm almost as excited for OWB than for Lonesome Road

» Thu Mar 03, 2011 6:10 am

Something that could beat the Remnants Power Armor? I hope so.

» Thu Mar 03, 2011 8:45 pm

I suspect most of it will be junk by the time you get it, after all you had a Teck/power hungry nutzo BOS elder pick it over before you got there.

Well how much tech can one elderly man haul through the wastes. Plus, he didn't have anything significant on him when he was looted

Maybe a rocketpack like the movie The Rocketeer? Would be cool.
