no need to hide the tears boy, it just makes the sensation for me more delightful

In a rather serious and not trollish note, Lcar, share some of that LSD you're taking, must be some SAVAGE shi..........

I hope its a Dune-like Sandworm, that would be sweet.

Please no insects....I hate insects.

Everything is looking good so far. They would have to do a lot to screw up this time around.

o.......k.

just stop bashing Van Buren. you didnt play it. so stop acting like ya did.

and then maybe my tears will dry :cryvaultboy:

Huh, I wasn't bashing Van Buren....

By any chance...are you from NMA?

This thread got...heavy. :rock:

@Lcars: I'm gonna have to agree with the consensus, you're not making a whole lot of sense there, buddy.

It is a feature that is based on the notion that there is such a thing as a "damage threshold". Problem is, there isn't.



So you're saying the system in New Vegas will be identical in practical terms to that in Fallout 3.

Why, how interesting.



Do I come across as that? My apologies, I'm not trying to be aggressive.



How big of an improvement is it if the companion AI is still on the level of a bootlace worm?



Not much of a special attack if the difference from a regular attack is...well, there's really no difference.

Now, the special attacks from Oblivion with Deadly Reflexes added, that was quite something.

That sounds pretty cool, I wouldn't mind having some kind of giant bug l that sort of resembles something from Starship Troopers. :tops:

As do I, but you have to admit... a giant mutant worm that comes up from the ground would be a pretty cool and fairly seamless addition to Fallout. We already have giant ants, crabs, scorpions and rats after all. What's a giant worm here and there?

I think you meant Fallout 3 rather than Oblivion, funny mistake that.

I have heard however that the special attacks are supposed to have special results. Knockback, knockdown, that kind of thing.

I'm afraid I can't recall where I heard that, possibly the Game Informer with F:NV on the cover.

yeah anybody that heard your other comments would agree with me. you were saying that VB would have been a big disappointed.

No i am not from NMA. the only reason i ever go there is to download F2 mods

http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=8273? I'm pretty sure he meant Oblivion.

Ahhhh

I was thinking Wired Reflexes. I've made an ass hat of myself. I'm not sure what this is, but I'm one.

Edit: Oh, it's a mod. Now I feel like much less of an ass hat, I had the 360 version. No mods for me.

No mistake, I certainly meant Oblivion which, as we all know, is based on the same engine as Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Thing is, melee combat had the potential of being a big part of Oblivion. With a few mods, it was just that. Deadly Reflexes added special attacks that actually took some skill and timing to use.

When Fallout 3 was made, the melee combat turned out to be crap, absolutely the worst part of the game.

I'm not all that optimistic that New Vegas will remedy those problems, unless Obsidian employed the maker of Deadly Reflexes to fashion a new melee system. As things go, it's most likely that New Vegas will have special attacks that require little or no skill and/or timing, since melee tends to take a back seat when guns are involved.

I wish I would be happily surprised, but I'm not holding my breath either.

You don't have to be from NMA to know you're [censored].

"FALLOUT 3 IS BETTER THAN VB WOULD HAVE BEEN BECAUSE FALLOUT 3 WAS RELEASED" that's a pretty stupid statement buddy.

I'm gonna go ahead an close this up. I see very little discussion of the preview, and a lot of other activities.
