Good Points

Loot falls out of everything you open in this game. You open a tin of beans and gold fucking pours out on your shoes.

I'm starting to get a little tired of hearing Big Iron, though.

He played through Force Unleashed the night his save file corrupted on him. Pretty short campaign, but he enjoyed it.

He's also playing Fable III.

Been playing it when I'm at home, which means I really only play WoW at work these days. Avoiding the main storyline as much as possible because of the "issues" with FO3. Overall enjoying it despite the bugs. Granted I started trivializing the game around level 15 when I got the Sniper Rifle and added a silencer to it. ED-E and Boone are way OP if you have a good Gun and Sneak skill set.

I was/am getting tired of seeing that little red shield icon when I'm trying to blast things, even with Armor piercing ammo...

I'd probably have finished by now if I hadn't been sidetracked by Rock Band 3.

BIG IRON ON HIS HIIIIIIP.

It looked amazing in Oblivion, especially with high res texture packs.

But that was years ago.

Now it looks shit.

Same, I'm hoping they end up using id's new engine they're using for Rage when it comes time for Fallout 4.

Bloodsage had this to say about (_|_):
[QB]My biggest beef with NV is the beginning seemed forced, and the whole thing seems utterly seamless from the previous game.

---

While the beginning is forced, you pick up on the Courier back story and eventually get told the whole plot Benny had cooked up.

Also, seamless? Are you sure you're just not using the right word there? The games plot has absolutely nothing to do with Fallout 3s. It's more of a direct sequel to 2 than anything else in that regard.

If you meant it plays exactly the same, well thats Bethesdas use of Gamebryo for you. Can't really expect much that's fresh from a 6 year old engine.

Was kind of annoying and also pretty odd when Victor just randomly turned up dead infront of the Lucky 38 for no apparent reason.

Hehe, Deth says that ED-E and Boone are OP no matter what your skillset. I know that when I've watched him play, Boone is constantly firing off on something before Deth even has a glimmer that it's there.

---

I've had a lot of people say that, but I've never seen it. I see targets before Boone does because of ED-E. Most people say Boone is just OP by himself (he does have a sweet gun, much more evil when you give him the TriLaser).

I FUCKING LOST 4 POWER ARMOR SUITS. ED-E was carrying them for me and I "lost" him for some upgrades to the Brotherhood for a while. They stole the 4 power armor suits I looted from their dead Paladins.

Fucking bunch of thieves. Ought to go in the and HFG them to death.

Bent over the coffee table, Mortious squealed:
I had the same problem. By the time I reached Benny I was level 26, sleeping with the NCR, and all Mr House's robots wanted to do was fuck me up every time they so much as sniffed I was within a mile of them. Of course, at level 26+ you just kinda laugh at their pea shooters and blast them in the face with a gauss rifle.

We must be long-lost twins, or something; that's exactly what I did.

ACES! Another post by Mortious:
... level 26, sleeping with the NCR ...

---

Really? The only person I've found to sleep with so far is Red Lucy. And she's an expensive broad to get in the mood.

I'm kinda annoyed... I'd been doing stuff for the NCR pretty much the whole game, and somehow the NCR quest "For The Republic" vanished from my quest log. Looks like I'm going for Wild Card. The NCR already wants to have my babies, but the game warned me they won't "Have work for me", if I keep working with Yes Man.

I did tell Caesar to fuck off after upgrading the Protectrons and killing Benny in the arena. Looks like I'm heading towards taking over Vegas myself - gotta get a VIP card. It was funny getting Karl to badmouth the Great Khans, though.

...that's not the ghoul, is it?

That scene where Deth went and convinced her to work for the Garretts was just ick.

Lyinar Ka`Bael spewed forth this undeniable truth:

No, it's the Leader of the Thorn.

...but I never expected it to lock up on me during the ending.

Twice. During the epilogues.

Unbelievable.

Fun game though. The Boomers Bomber carpet bombing the Hoover Dam was awesome, as was the pretty "fireworks" display over at the Legion Fort if you unleashed the robot army.

I chose the path with House, got the Boomers, helped the cannibals, murdered almost everyone else (After I got my power armor training of course.)

Gonna do a second play through as more or less a chaotic good, sneaky melee/pistoleer with tons of speech and barter. Figure either let the NCR take over or take over myself as a shining beacon of vigilante justice.

Edit: Oh just for good measure, I shot the NCR Lt. in the head and turned to kill his troops after delivering House's terms...and the fire from the robots behind me, aiming at the NCR troops to assist me, killed me in about three seconds.

Have you tried the whore house? Or the other whore house?

Mortious thought about the meaning of life:
Also have around 50,000 bottlecaps, even after implants.

East of the Crimson Caravan Company compound there's the New Vegas Clinic. The doctor there sells implants that give +1 to each S.P.E.C.I.A.L stat for 4000 bottlecaps each. Also one implant that gives you damage resistance and another implant that gives you health regeneration, both which are double or triple that price.

You have to have the required Endurance in order to fit them, one Endurance point per implant, so an Endurance of 9 for all of them.

Wow, didn't know that. Time to head over there, I guess. After I finish these Omberta quests - I started them for that last bit of EXP needed to hit level 30. I think maybe the fact I leveled to 30 during Yes Man's final speeches may be why the ending keeps locking up. I've never made it through the end of the endings.

Nope. Are these in Vegas or Freeside? I found one joint in Freeside that seems to offer whores, but I was too busy getting banned to care...

One's a hotel in Vegas, the other's a shitty little apartment complex in Freeside.

Pretty fun! It's telling that I'm hooked on this and my copy of The Force Unleashed 2 is gathering dust.

---

In your defense, The Force Unleashed II only has like...3 levels.

I go down to the bunker, thinking I'll get my gear and exit. Except as soon as I get my gear I hit attack and...punch the head off the Legion goon. And his buddies jump me. So I clear the room, figuring I can run off under stealth. Yeah. Not so much. Entire camp falls on me as soon as I step outside and I realize I left my peeps back up at the tent, and they're dead, I'm alone, and HERE COME THE PRAETORIANS. Bugger me with a broomstick.

Long story short, I end up wiping the camp, the nameds (Antony has a named teddy bear!), and finally Caesar himself as he and his people come swarming out of his tiny little tent like it's a god damned Neo-Roman clown car of suck. And it isn't until I punch Caesar so hard his body flies over a fence where I can't loot it (ended up looting his disconnected head later) and the camera pans during the critical hit animation that I realize I'm still wearing the Naughty Nightwear (it made me feel pretty and I needed the +10 to Speech DON'T YOU JUDGE ME!)

So...Head of the Legion and most of his top-tier goons were wiped out by a skinny little purple haired girl with glasses and a beret wearing a leopard-print nightie.

I probably snickered about that for twenty minutes before I heard Mr New Vegas talk about "Caesar assassinated under mysterious circumstances" at which point I must've laughed out loud for ten more minutes.

I know Fallout 3 would let you go good/evil so I figure I could try to do that (one with each machine). I'd also like to make my gaming machine a fighting build and the laptop a bit more social/sneak.

Mr House wins.
The NCR wins.
The Legion wins.
You fuck everyone.

Then you get all the ending variations based on your actions, who you met, who you ran with etc.
