The Area 51 thing was pure speculation on PC Gamer's part. We did not show it or confirm whether or not it's in there. PC Gamer put it in because it's Nevada, and they think that means it will be in there.

I'm not saying it is or isn't, just that we haven't said either way.

so it might be in there ?

Oh, thanks for clearing that up.

I would rather it wasn't there. Too many bad memories of Mothership Zeta.

Although, it probably will be...

Bad, bad memories.

Indeed! :yuck:

But hey, Osidz may have come up for something interesting with it that, though implies to it, is not related to aliens at all. I'd love that.

[Big Homie]

That was great. From the sound of it, there'll be more of it.

If the whole landscape is populated with people as colorful as Jericho and Moira Brown we're going to be in for a good game.

[darnell waddington]

Area 51 could be really cool. All the time you think of aliens, and at the very end you se... Cabbages! Bet you didn't expect that huh?

More unique weapons like the Rock-It Launcher and the Mesmetron. Not the normal boring Small Guns.

# You're a courier, wounded and left for dead in a shallow grave. A friendly robot, Victor, digs you out, and his doctor owner Mitchell patches you up. You take a "vigour test", which is some sort of electric parlour game. This decides who you are and sets up SPECIAL. You can also take some Rorschach tests, but the mag says this is for fun. The Doc then gives you a Pipboy as he was once a Vault dweller.

This sounds like a very interesting story, I'd imagine your memory has degraded and why you are clueless about the area? Or is there going to be a more in depth story about your character? A fallout game where you don't start out in a vault sounds great! It was beginning to become cliche!

Were it not I would be very surprised because it's closer to Vegas than Raven Rock is to Downtown D.C.

[Intelligence] So you say that you think that it might be in there?

Come on, you can't be serious asking this after he clarified everything!

[Skill check failed] Sorry, can't tell you. Maybe if you had authorization from PR, I could give you a yes or no answer.

Indeed. That would be...... maybe too much to ask, though.

Come on, you can't be serious asking this after he clarified everything!

[Intelligence] So you're asking if he's serious about a question of whether or not that thing is in the game, from an implication that stated it may oir may not be there after there was some suggestions that it may be.

[Endurance] So you are asking me if I....

[Robert Jackson]

Well Area 51 could be an enclave outpost.. or some other high tech unit.. and not necessarily alien related

Question is, will factions be in as such and can they be joined ?

[Bellismydesi]

Question is, will factions be in as such and can they be joined ?

The main factions are given and from the sound of things, they are cooperative (I wouldn't know about their joinability) if the player chooses so - which, if true, would be exactly as I had hoped for (three rival factions and all helpable with consequenses) - but I don't think there'll be other "joinable" factions.

[perception] So I'm askin you.... wait a minute.... :mellow:




:P

[james tait]

sounds like there realky busting their asses to give us a great game, i didn't really except this much improvement given the amount of time they've been working on new vegas pleasantly suprised and eagerly awaiting fall

[Symone Velez]

God, I want this game soooo badly! Fall 2010, me with 60 bucks, first in line at my GameStop.

[RUby DIaz]

God, I want this game soooo badly! Fall 2010, me with 60 bucks, first in line at my GameStop.

50 for me (PC - unless they raise the price). And yeah, this my most looking-forward game so far, even Starcraft 2 gets left behind.

With all the hype, I hope people don't overrate/underrate the game.

I'm there with you on that one, I look more forward to fallout: New Vegas than I do starcraft 2. Sure I love strategy games and starcraft 2 looks like its going to be a good game but fallout has always been my favorite series!

[Helen Quill]

So what was the rationale behind no negative consequences for dialogue checks? Were you trying to save the player time and clicks by making it so they didn't have to reload after trying a failing dialogue check and getting pulled out of dialogue and into combat?

[J.P loves]

With all the hype, I hope people don't overrate/underrate the game.

Oh, believe me when I tell you, Fallout 3 taught me not to raise my hopes too high.

[clelia vega]

Some people are incredible. JE Sawyer already said this resembles somehow the system in F3. Meaning, if you fail some of them the respective NPC might, let's say, attack because of the situation. So it's not completely devoid on consequence. Actually, it looks pretty much as the system in F3. Charge more caps, fail, no consequence. Beg not to be attacked, fail, be attacked. Get it?

[Reanan-Marie Olsen]

Oh, believe me when I tell you, Fallout 3 taught me not to raise my hopes too high.

I dunno whether to laugh or feel bad by that comment?

Anyway, I think with the determination and collected team in general working on NV, it will outclass FO3? It seems they're putting quite a lot of work into getting it ready, and that's definitely a good thing.

[elliot mudd]

I dunno whether to laugh or feel bad by that comment?

You'll do as you see fit, but (in case you misinterpreted it) I'll just say that all the hype for FO3 raised my expectations to a certain level which was not reached by the product considering the franchise.
