That's my biggest wish! I've been playing FO2 lately and GOD! This game is good, the feeling, the characters, the story, and especially the thousands of ways to solve one quest. When I played FO3, there were ways to solve quests, but they seemed rather shallow, you weren't encouraged to find another method of acquiring something or accomplishing a goal. I also wish that cities feel real, I got into Vault City and it's very different from The Den, which is different from the Mordoc, they all have a quite unique feeling that I hope FNV will deliver.

In other words, I want FO2 with FO3 graphics and gameplay.

Do you think FNV will be this wonderful Fallout I dream of? Will it be the Fallout that we all wished? Will be epic as Van Buren was meant to be?

In short. Yes.

F:NV seems to be pushing the game to it' max capability.

Not 100% what you describe, but much more so than fallout 3

I also have another problem with FO3... it's too easy compared to old Fallout's. In FO2 and 1 you had to work hard to get a 9mm pistol, or even harder for a Hunting Rifle, killing enemies is easy and you won't have much trouble running into 3 radscorpions in level 2, even with the new hardcoe mode, I still feel the lack of difficulty.

Play on hardcoe AND Very Hard Difficulty. :celebration:

I hope so, but lemme ask this (everyone); if you could have a game as good and as epic as F2, but with a much less visually impressive engine, say the Fallout Tactics engine, or something along those lines, would you buy it? Or would you stick to smaller, less deep games that are more modern looking and 3d like F3?

I ask because I played F2 and BG 2 recently and thought they were awesome. It didn't bother me at all that they weren't 3D or didn't have great graphics. They're just great games. And it seems logical to assume if a game was 2D, and didn't have as much voice acting in it ect it would take up less room and therefore could be a lot bigger, and that would be great. I'd still like to play a cool 3D game from time to time, but I'd be more than happy with an older looking 2D game if it had the depth and scope of F2 and BG 2.

So what do you guys think? Would you be happy with that as well, do you think we'll ever see games like that again?

I mean, assuming Vegas ends up not being the holy grail that we're all assuming and hoping it will.

I have heard of Age of Decadence, and I think that's what it's aiming at, but will it ever get here (it seems to be a long time), and who knows if it will be very popular.

Oh yes, it was SOOOOO hard trying to obtain that pistol you first start off with from Vault 13.

And it was really hard to kill some rats for a hunting rifle.

Fallout 1 is pretty easy to be honest. In about two hours, I had about ten leather armors, ten Desert Eagles, hundreds of ammo, and a crapload of stimpaks.

Fallout 2, on the other hand, is really hard. Doesn't help that the trapper in the rat nest doesn't have the pistol on him(on my current character).

are you stoned or what..? am i the only one who was capable of easily obtaining weapons in the fallout games? through my experience i had an easier time obtaining high quality gear in fallout 1 than fallout 3...

fallout 2 on the other hand..

In my opinion, there's no going backwards from graphical improvements. If a graphical improvement is made you have to continue on with at least as good as graphics as the last game, if not better. This is in terms of business and capitalism and the 21st century. Personally, I still play games like that. One of my favorite 2D games is Diablo (the first one) I still play it, and it's still fun. If a game is amazing you barely notice the graphics unless they're very realistically stunning, and they're starting to get that way. Imagine what Console games could look like with components rivaling that of great PCs.

EDIT: Selling and grammar failures.

Basically yes, you have your humor back with the wild wasteland perk. You have casinos, you have geckos, you have the NCR, you have "Black Isle" basically back etc

If you ask me, it totally seems like Fallout 2 with FO3 graphics and gameplay. Sounds perfect to me :fallout:

IMO, no.
Van Buren is Van Buren.
New Vegas is a dissected Van Buren.
It might be an epic game in it's own sense but not as epic as Van Buren was suppose to be.

I had a really easy time...after I'd been through the game about twice and knew exactly where to go for the loot.

First time through was a [censored].

I don't mean to be off-topic, but an you even begin to imagine the improvements they've probably made on The Elder Scrolls V? It's been almost 5 years since TES IV's release hasn't it?

From what I've seen based on Elder Scrolls IV and a few things from Fallout 3, it wouldn't surprise me if the game would be a bit....bland..

I agree about the difficulty, although I didn't think FO1 was very hard either. Fallout 2 was a bit too harsh in places, but I did really like the fact that an Enclave soldier with a good weapon was actually dangerous. In Fallout 2 running in to a group of Enclave soldiers was a "oh crap" moment, while in Fallout 3 it was more like, "oh crap, I can't carry any more power armor right now."

This is what I hope for. I can't recall anything that I haven't liked about it, so it's hard to not let my hopes be high. If what they are describing is true and the aspects that they haven't been revealed are solid, then it will no doubt be my favorite Fallout.

very hard on 3.

nothing compared to the difficulty of the first 2 games

Yeah, there were a couple of battles in Fallout 2 where the Enclave fairly consistently picked off all of my companions except Marcus in the first two turns. :laugh:

:facepalm:

I think the game's going to be epic, period.

Oh god, I still remember when I first went to Navarro. I had to reload so many times because I kept running into Enclave Patrols that killed me in five to seven shots. Fallout 2 takes no prisoners.

I've actually never played the first two fallouts.

:whistling:

Play them now or Rohugh will eat you in your sleep

It has already been stated that only the Main Quest is scaled, and that it is MUCH easier to die in F:NV than in Fallout 3. So, you know, it will be difficult, d00d.
