Fallout New Vegas - Eurogamer preview

I don't recall that being possible with Frank Horrigan. The closest you could get was having some of his guards defect.

You could have the guards (speech) and you could hack the turrets (science) to kill him or both at the same time.
 
It would be nice if FO:NV did actually force proper specialisation rather than master of all by lvl20/30.

I'm looking forward to it because FO3 was a fun game but the RPG side was a bit lacking, needs to be more focused rather than generic.
 
Has anyone heard if there'll be an editor for this, like FO3? I hope there is as FO3 was somewhat mediocre without mods. It was the great combo of mods that made it a good game for me.

Since it's based upon the same engine and uses the same elements as Fallout 3 I can't see why there wouldn't be editor tools available.
 
I never played FO3 with mods so i don't see why people find it mediocre (not that i know what mods are out there for it...).

but yes i think if Bethesda released an RPG without the ability to mod it, they'd have to deal with 1 hell of a ****storm...
 
Well logic would suggest they'd do the same and have an editor but I haven't heard a peep from Beth or Obsidian over this, so I guess we'll have to wait and see. To me, Beth games really come into their own with mods, I also found Oblivion 'lacking' without them. I tend to find their games just too simple/dumbed down so with some decent game changing/balancing mods etc they can give a really nice challenge and more immersion.

Also the the UI is the first thing to get modded when I play as the console style UI in OB and to a lesser extent FO3 was a joke imo. Just too lazy to do a proper UI for the PC.
 
Looking forward to this. Still can't make my mind up whether to buy the FO1 and 2 pack. Maybe worth a gamble since it's so cheap. Was it Fallout Tactics that was pants? I've seen FO1 and 2 with Tactics for £6.49 :)
 
No harm in buying all of em, i might have to try em out some day.

Decided to go get some mods for FO3 and start playing it again, currently using:

FO3 Wanderers Edition (FWE)
Marts Mutant Mod (MMM)
Weapon Mod Kits (WMK)
Cipscis' Auto Save Manager (CASM)

Good fun so far. I was using Energy Visuals Enhanced (EVE) and a weather mod but i was having trouble getting things to work and eventually managed it without EVE (might add the weather mod back in but the whole merged patch thing confused me).

And jeez i wish i'd paid attention to the whole 'Feral Ghoul Rampage + Increased Increased Spawns' warning of "bring nukes". At 1 point i had no less than 20-30 feral ghouls chasing me at the train yards near Tenpenny and each 1 had a 50% chance (i think) to ressurect after a time. The enhanced weapon damage really makes the game more playable for different styles, went and got my Ol' Painless from the Republic of Dave to find it came with a free Silencer and Scope. Also Assault Rifles were tearing things apart so i've remade my Heavy Weapons char as a Brotherhood Outcast starter and with the overhauled Casdin turn in system and the new Barter system i'll be rolling in 5mm/ECC ammo for my heavy weapons.

You could hack turret systems in FO3 but still you needed to kill the guy so being completely pacifist aint an option. :p

oh using speech in fo1/2 did not mean you where by anyway a pacifist.

on the oil rig good speech meant you could have the scientist gas nearly everyone to a horrific and painful death :p

And talking the master out of it resulted in a church full of children getting nuked :D

After horrible mutilated and raped corpse that was fo3 I'm not getting my hopes up.

If I can't talk my way through the game it ain't FO.

I'm surprised you don't like FO3. I've had a realisation of late that I don't really like all-action FPS (Had Aliens V Pred for a few weeks and played it once, Call of Prip I play nearly every day which I know you quite like) I like the RPG-ness of FO3. I like the feeling of doing stuff rather than corridor clearing.

Looking forward to Vegas.
 
I don't like FO£ because it could have been so much more, but just become generic fps with some terrible and useless RPG addons.


You could pick up any gun and use it well regardless of your skills, and by the end of it you where a god of everything so it didn't matter.

in the originals if you went small guns only and you tried firing a minigun with a skill of 9 (out of 255) , it would either miss horribly or explode in your face.
