This doesn't worry me.



This does. Come on, really? Does no one else have a problem with this?


Everything else sounds great though.

He means that he wished that some of the guys who made the first two games (which were turn-based and in an isometric view) would have brought it away from a first person action game and made it more turn-based, if at all possible.

Try to cater more to the old-schoolers.

NO NO NO NO NO NOT LIKE OLD FALLOUT GAMES!!!!!!
one of the reasons i LOVED F3 was the loss of the turn based action!

That is the main reason that I loved Fallout 3. But Fallout 1 and 2 stories > Fallout 3.

yea the stories were nice.. but i HATED the turn based gameplay

What exactly do you find wrong with it? Sounds fine to me...

Am I the only one excited for the rollercoaster?

And again, Gary, or Chase... or Chary.. or Gase.. errr whatever
you are my favorite person on this forum

Anyone that knows anything about ballistics knows that a 22 cal has a hard time penetrating bone.

It just doesn't make sense that a 22 cal is going to cripple limbs and have critical bonuses. Anyone that knows anything about ballistics knows that a 22 cal has a hard time penetrating bone. If you wanna shoot me with a 22 you had better do it point blank to my head or hit a vital organ because a shot in the arm or leg is not going to stop me let alone a super mutant or even a human pumped full of adrenaline. It just doesn't make any sense at all and I certainly hope it is misinformation and if it isn't...well that's -1 for Obsidian and realism in their games.

It's a video game. Why worry about something, that, in the final game, will probably be something you won't touch after the beginning of the game?

Well we're talking about the first person shootery of it, and in every FPS me and my friends play, your guy typically gets shot, your health goes down, and then you wait untill your health regenerates then start shooting again. If that happened in NV, people would hate it. SO that only leaves the option of being bullet sponges and using stimpacks or dying over and over and over again from being out numbered in the early stages of the game and quitting.

I'm a little nervous about that "gangs evolving" thing. It sounds more like Oblivion style level scaling . Fallout 3's scaling was just fine for me, and I don't want 50% of all the raiders having power armor and plasma rifles when I reach level 20.

i know i will be using the .22 just because i am a champion .22 rifle shooter in my region it will be awesome

I have more info, once again it's from The Vault, so yeah, thank em' and all the people that gathered the details.

US OXM info:

* Character creation is virtually identical to Fallout 3, with cosmetic changes like the Gene Projector being replaced by ReflectionTM, "You're SPECIAL!" by Vit-o-Matic machine and GOAT by a psychological test
* The local super mutants are pretty tough and will keep you from wandering aimlessly in the early portions of the game - they tend to be tougher even than deathclaws
* Sunny Smiles' dog is named Cheyenne. They'll assist you with the Powder Gangers in the Ghost Town Firefight quest if you help her kill some geckos.
* The Varmint Rifle is a low-power .22 that does significant damage to limbs and has a high critical bonus
* If your Barter skill is high enough, Chet the shopkeeper give you the 9-Iron golf club and some weapon mods
* Every skill will have use in conversations at various points
* Each firearm has a maximum of three modification slots. Once you affix a mod to a gun, it's permanent. Hunting Rifle modification examples given are scope, custom action and extended clip.
* Temporary followers, like the Goodsprings folks that can help you defeat the Powder Gangers, will also be controlled through the companion wheel
* Concept art of Hoover Dam and screenshots of the Black Mountain radio tower and the character standing inside the mouth of Dinky the Dinosaur shown
* With high local reputation at Goodsprings, you'll get a free bed to sleep in and a discount at the store
* Neil, a super mutant who hates Tabitha, can help you storm the mountain
* Tabitha is actually a male super mutant gone completely insane
* "Skill magazines" you find in New Vegas will only temporarily boost your skills
* There's a rollercoaster in Primm
* The combat gameplay was tweaked to be more first-person-shootery

And additionally, here's info from Finland's Pelit magazine:

* Weapons have unique/individual qualities. Some cause critical hits to head, others will damage your limbs severely for example circular saw will eat your fingers.
* Death animations vary depending which weapon you are using.
* Different gangs and villages might evolve during your gameplay while you are not watching. For example random Raider gang might find a hidden weapons cache and rise to power.

Oh man thanks for the information! These sound great it sounds like that they are working hard on making more features in the game and sounds like its going to be a major improvement! I like the magazine thing, so magazines are going to be like drugs? Only temporary increase skills? Sounds like a good diea. Sounds like barter is going to be alot more improved which is great. The modifacations is an idea that has longed been dream for by many, and brings back some clasic elements. As for the other stuff meh isn't as a big deal to me than what I just mentioned.

Sounds like the melding of Bethesda's new-tech approach to the Fallout license and some of the original gang lovingly caring for and crafting the next installment over at Obsidian is shaping up to be the Mass Effect 2 GoTY challenger.

I appreciate the hard work Obsidian is putting into it, if they keep up the good work we might see more of them in the future.

I was thinkin' on this earlier, jus' to amuse myself. I had a fantasy vision of the game selling as well or better than Fallout 3, Josh & Chris telling Todd & Emil "We're thinking of doing the next one with a rotating iso camera like Dragon Age but with a turn-based option" and Todd & Emil looking puzzled and distraught as they're all about to start protestin' meanwhile Josh & Chris just hold up a sheet with the sales figures and a big Zenimax contract already signed.

Heh-heh. A little chuckle-worthy, I thought.

I don't mind the FP-perspective but I pretty much hate the "S" part. God I hate shooters. Hate them. You hear me, world? Hate.

I find that very unlikely, consider Beth has threw Fallout 3 created a whole new fanbase suddenly shifting the gameplay style again would just throw them of.
