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

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.

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

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.

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

As in Mass Effect's "download your character from the first game" idea? It'd be interesting for owners of the first game, but they are mostly unrelated other than some references from Fallout 3 are going to be in Fallout New Vegas, as I read in a magazine recently.

Seeing as how it wouldn't make any sense what so ever to have the alien weapons in New Vegas unless there's a crashed flying saucer somewhere I'd most certainly love it I who have fallout 3 and Mothership Zeta could get those weapons and ammo to fallout New Vegas.

Can't help it, I love them pew pew guns.

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?
