This Thursday Oct. 14th at 7pm Eastern/4pm Pacific time, columnist Michael Thomsen will host a livestream event with New Vegas Project Director Josh Sawyer. They'll walk through some of the game and answer questions submitted by gamers.

I'm here to collect said questions.

My name is Jake and I work for Best Buy, who is hosting the event (details - http://www.liveatbestbuy.com/fallout ).

Post your questions in this thread and I'll come back and collect them early afternoon tomorrow to forward to the folks at Bethesda/Obsidian, who are currently preparing for the livestream.

Thanks in advance guys! Looking forward to your questions.

- Jake

EDIT: Fixed the link. Thanks, Expresate.

Your link doesn't work. http://www.liveatbestbuy.com/fallout

Will the player have to actually work to get high-tier weapons/armor, and will said items be rare?

If there's anything that annoyed me about Fallout 3, it's how easy it was to get the best gear.

Edit: Typos...

If this is real, will the playstation 3 version of fallout new vegas have as many bugs as the fallout 3 version did?


I'm so getting flamed for this :facepalm:

don't be ashamed, just because people on the PS3 don't act like random [censored]s dosn't mean it's not the superior console

Are there ranks youll go through in the main factions (NCR / CL) such as oblivion or will it be similar to fallout 3 where your more of an associate ?

Who's some characters returning from the originals?
Is house a computor?
What factions can't we join?
If we assassanate faction leaders what are some things that might change?
Is any companion evil?

When the casinos take away your weapons are your hot keys going to remain intact, or are we going to have to re-set them, and if so, will this be fixed in a patch?

J.E.S., how does it feel to be back at the reigns of YOUR intellectual property again? How's Feargus feeling about NV?

will there be any post game completion downlodable contenent

Will the .44 Magnum revolver be in F:NV?

I would like to know as well, the freeze bug better be fixed :banghead: :flame: :swear:

What are all the new perks? I saw the 10 they already released this week. What are the others?


Thanks!

If I'm in sneak mode, and take a shot and kill a faction member without them seeing me, and nobody witnessed it... will that have an effect on my standing with that faction?


I spend a lot of time looting and exploring. Approximately how often in HC mode would my character need to eat/drink in realtime to maintain levels of hydration and starvation?

Will there be any references to the intelligent deathclaws from FO2 and will we learn what became of Goris?

Hey Josh we've talked on the Gun thread so I'll post an appropriate question what's your favorite weapon that got added and will the R91 return?

I second the PS3 question, and consoles in general. Have you guys worked to fix the myriad of bugs and game-ruining stuff that was present for people?

Listed in order of importance...

• What is the player's advantage for using VATS to hit the legs and arms?
  (Would the developers' expand on the high-points of the V.A.T.S. targeting system)
  
• How far does the Third Person camera zoom out?
  
• Are there ways to cheat the casinos?

hi i'm interested in the faction play in new vegas but i have also been thinking will there be an option where the player can recruit npcs or start your own faction? i've played anchorage and it was fun having alot of npcs fight with you again lots of enemies

Are you cognizant of x modders because of their skills or their released mods? To clarify, I am asking do you recognize FOSE's added script functionality, as something you should of incorporated in this game to make the lives of developers easier?

what are your 3 favorite perks, and out of the 3 major factions which one do you like the most. N.C.R, Caesars legion or Mr. house

have you guys discussed what to do for DLC yet? if so can we have a hint? (im assuming that one is a definite NO)

Can you specifically explain the dehydration/starvation/sleep aspects of hardcoe mode? Such as how often you have to do each thing, and what happens to you when you don't eat/drink/sleep?

How many traits are there? I noticed in a few gameplay videos there appeared to only be 10 traits, thats seems to be a little low...

Have any of the mini-games that were present in fallout 3 (such as lock-picking, hacking) been changed or edited in any way?

Have there been any changes on what the SPECIAL stats effect? All i've seen is that there are now strength requirements on weapons.

With the benefit of being able to look at the feedback players gave on Fallout 3, which if any elements (like dialogue, quests, the map, etc...) did you know you were definitely going to try to address in New Vegas? Thanks, best of luck on the release!

Do you guys down at Oblivion personally believe that you've done the best you could do on Fallout New Vegas?
