Finally figured out a fix!

Post » Sun Mar 06, 2011 5:09 am

Link here: http://img573.imageshack.us/img573/5728/fix.jpg




























































The money for this is going to a pre order for Dragon Age II. At the very least I can count on Bioware to make a working game. You don't get to release a broken product and expect to have us sit on our hands for weeks on end waiting for any kind of real fix. This is the first and last title with Obsidian's name on it I will ever purchase. If and when Fallout 4, hopefully developed by Bethesda comes out I will purchase that but not on day 1 or through pre order. And for my 2 cents, Fallout 3 was a far superior game as far as Interesting quests, locations, NPC's, and size of world is concerned. F:NV basically removed all my favorite things from F3. The Tranquility Lane wow moments, tons of Super Mutants to battle, plenty of BoS / Enclave, Ghouls and other off the wall weirdness. FNV is just a boring, tan desert filled with emotionless tasks, characters and dialog catered to the Black Isle fan boy purists. I hope Bethesda will have enough sense to ignore the loud mouth complaints and blind faith declaration of how much better NV is while they are in the planning stages of F4.

Yes. That's a great idea. "Only listen to my opinion. Nobody else's matters. They don't see things the way I do so they're obviously wrong."

I came into the series with Fallout 3. I thought the game was great. I like New Vegas more.

Well we all have that choice... but the fact is that FO:NV is closer to the mark for a series game, and FO3 was [IMO] way off the mark in everything but art-design and landscaping.
IMO Obsidian fixed by omission (and I think many would agree). :shrug:

No no no, we're loud mouth Black Isle purists. Why would he listen to your explanation? He's obviously on a higher level of thinking and logical reasoning than we are. Truly we should be honored to even be noticed by his magnificence.

"Hey guys, let's make a spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate and allow the player to have a huge amount of control over their character's background, and create really creepy looking Darkspawn, and then blow that all to hell with the sequel that we'll release before the original even has a chance to move off the shelves!"

I mean, if that's what you're into.

If that's the case maybe they should just let Obs keep making broken garbage with series numbers behind it and start a new Fallout series. I dunno ....maybe...... "FALLOUT : doesn't crash your gaming system and actually has interesting content" too long a title?

Gotta say I feel really sorry for the people who can't enjoy the game.

I was having a LOT of crashing issues myself. Updated my sound card drivers and they all went away thankfully. Only thought to do that because I noticed the crashes were all happening when the 'digging' sound was played. I've had one random crash since updating the drivers with over 30 hours played time now :(

Just glad im one of the lucky ones I guess :-)

You beat me to it... then again I thought DAO was pretty watered down compared to a Baldur's Gate successor, or at least what I would of wanted from a successor. Bioware is dead.

On topic... Beth should of made the game, which they couldn't of because there focusing on ES V most likely, and Obsidian should of wrote it. Then again I don't really think there is anything remarkable about Obsidian's writing in particular.

Doesn't crash your system? Do you remember what Fallout 3 was like before the first bunch of patches? It's still broken for many people.

You guys kill me. Bioware is dead but long live Obsidian. Wtf are you all married to the devs. Point out 1 way that F:NV is better then Mass Effect 2 or Dragon Age Origins. It's like if the game doesn't absolutly require the most asinine and outdated gameplay elements then it's not an Rpg.

Yeah I hear what you are saying. I purchased FO NV on the back of FO 3 which I loved. FO NV is good and I had put in 10 hours and was ignoring the minor glitches as the game is still good (mine actually runs and loads on Xbox360). Then i start getting the downloadable error when trying to load saved games so I cleared the catche and deleted the earlier games. It seems though any save after helping the mutants lauch in their rockets just will not work. It is perhaps a sign the FO 3 team did not work on FO NV which is a real shame and refund is a realistic option. Can't believe Bethesta would put the game out in this state...... However I hear that game entitled "Rogue" somthign was also not upto par? 10 hours. Their advice is save often. I did. It does not work. My only option is to play from my last saved game until completion which isn't going to happen. :angry: :(

Last post I'll make. I think I've kind of gotten a little upset at your approach.

Be careful of attacking the man and not the ball....

Everyone has a limit to their patience, and Kano does raise a couple of good points. There were things done in FNV which could only have been done due to some of the feedback from F3, but it's a matter of choice as to whether that adds to or takes away from the game.

The point is that these changes weren't the damaging things to this game, those damaging things were the glitches that were unfixed from F3's playability, and that would suggest a problem in the engine or game mechanics.

Yeah I do. It never crashed my Xbox or corrupted my save data. Actually NV is the only game out of almost 200 that has crashed one of my Xbox's and been COMPLETELY unplayable. Even buggy ass F3 on pc could be reloaded.

He does have a few good points. I completely understand how angry he is with the glitches that have plagued his copy of the game. I'm not trying to shut down what he's trying to say. It's just this high strung "my opinion is the only one right" attitude that seems to be coming from him. Hey, Kano, if that's know what you're acting then tell me I'm wrong.


...wouldn't be the first time it's happened.

But it's still on a much higher level than Beth. Emil simpy can't write.

True dat. But Bioware doesn't really exist anymore. Yes there's a company called Bioware but they seem to only make fodder for anime porm fan-fic writers.

That being said, the last true rpg Beth made was Morrowind. New Vegas is close though. Gives me hope for the old girl.

Well it's a good thing that's your last post. I don't know what I would of done without your response. I'll stick with my opinion and you go stand over there and pout like a lil' girl with a skinned knee. Your text might of been better spent actually giving me a reason why you think your right instead of reassuring me why your wrong. If I have to guide you though this maybe you shouldn't post anymore.

Close to Bioware perhaps..... but when it's broke, its broke. KOTOR 1 never crashed or glitched or did anything bad on the old Xbox.
