hey i was just thinking, what if bethesda but in a system where depending on how much game progress you did in fallout 3, then you would get a reward in fallout new vegas, for example a rare gun, or armour or something. sorry if there is already a thread about this, i searched but i couldnt find one

Fallout 3 will be having nothing to do with New Vegas, apart from the occasional reference you might get.
And I don't know how it would be possible anyway? How could it work?

no. no. no.

fallout NV is in no way related to fallout 3.

I'd rather have to find my weapons rather than being gifted it for just wandering around for an hour or two....

I will mirror the sentiments, Fallout 3 and New Vegas are not in cahoots. It would make so sense.

i didnt mean they're related, or should be, im just sayin its an idea for bethesda, so dont go flaming stright off, its an idea

You have no logic behind it though, not getting on you, but how would it work at all? Like others have said, the 2 games aren't even related, how would you be rewarded for your progress from fallout 3? Really think about it before posting a thread of it.

ok sorry forum guys, im new here (you can probably tell lol)

Don't rip this guy apart. He means a loyalty thing on the company level. EA did it with the Battlefield games with Bad Company 2. I know the genres are world apart but I see what he means.

That being said, I don't think I like the idea, but I'll admit it was a good idea to begin with.

hes talking about previouse game data scanning, it was a gimick they used with some older ps1/2 and xbox games, also with a few game cube games, and some ds games would unlock something for having a gba game sometimes with but not always a completed game save.

I could see it as an easter egg, maybe a useless item like the anti fev vial from fo 3, you find it in a mail box.
maybe a courier from the east comes up to you and gives you a bottle of aqua pure, or maybe a vault 101 jump suit.
maybe you meet a garry.

I wouldn't use it to give you anything uber, but maybe use it to unlock a special event or semi useless item. te, maybe unlock 3dog's radio station.

lets see, one of the more comedic uses was in mgs1 and the mgs1 gc remake psycho mantis would scan your memory card and comment on game save data for certain games you have played.
and in uncharted 2 it would read your game and trophy data from the first uncharted and give you some cash to unlock stuff in the extras menu and multilayer early.

Don't forget that Beth is just the production company. It's being developed by Obsidian. I think there might be some policy issues to be had with some sort of link between the two.

This is a good idea... I haven't seen anything like it mentioned before...

Come on now. Fallout games are supposed to give us a fresh start, and require a separate mindset from the prequels. What's next, putting Imperial Guards in the game if we completed Oblivion?

yh something usless would be good, like a spork or your lump of brain from point lookout

Oh hell, I'll drink the kool aid...
Say you finish the main quest, you get a Liberty Prime snowglobe, doing the Hulk Hogan pose.

Honestly, I just don't like the idea. The pre-order packs should be the only "starter pack" type thing in the game.

hhmmmm how about tearing a vertibird in 2 and you've got my vote

There are, in fact, dozens of threads of threads about importing stuff from fallout 3, characters, progress, etc. There have also been a couple on your topic, but don't sweat it too much.

In answer to your post: no. I don't need to be given incentive to play a game I already want to play, and it wouldn't fit anyway, so no thanks.

thats a good idea, with a little effect to make his laser eyes light up

doesn't have to be a started pack, can be a trophy for your house, a little collectable with no use or value like garden gnomes, a piece of clothing just as uselss as slave rags.

its not importing, its data unlock. there a differnce, its like dlc you purchase just to unlock something thats already in the game.

yh i really didnt mean a started pack, just a little usless pressie for youu to admire in your house in-game, if you get a house that is, but probably

A little something something be nice. I've played a few games such as Assassin's Creed, Dragon-Ball Z. Which game you a little reward for playing their other games. It doesn't have to be related. Just a little pick-me up.

i think he means like something to the players of old fallouts, like an easter egg or unique item, not overpowered alien blaster or anything, but kind of like how harold appeared in fo1, 2, and 3 (why bethesda, whyyy did you have to stick him to the ground). or in gears of war how carmine appears in both gears...and dies each time (hes going to be in the third one but he might live...or die again, their voting on it). i think itd be a good idea, and it doesnt perfectly have to fit the lore, kind of like how we can get a vault 13 outfit if we preorder from gamestop

I think one complaint I have is that it shatters the suspension of disbelief that this is it's own part of a greater universe. All of a sudden, we wind up with these doo dads and whatnot that suddenly don't serve a purpose other to remind us of some other game...Which come to think of it, isn't that what achievements would be for? Useless little things that just commemorate that we played through it?
