Maybe I should get New Vegas, so we're all on the same page. I've never tried NV. It would be fun if we're all out there together.

Can 't get it today though. Maryland's in the middle of a blizzard.

Lonesome Dove is a sniper too! She's headed for the prison next in fact. She'd rather have a real sheriff for Primm than give it over to the NCR.

I actually prefer FO3 to NV. For lots of reasons.

Renee, New Vegas requires Steam, whether you buy it on a disc or not. So you could just download it instead. That is what I did. I figured since I have to go online to to play it, I may as well buy it online too. That is if you buy it for your PC of course. I imagine you could download it from X-Box Live too though. And since it is snowing, that means you don't have to wait to create a new character!

Do it! New Vegas is amazing (although my love for the game leaves me biased). I've taken a break from TES so I'll be playing NV for a long while.

As you may have heard NV is very different from FO3 landscape/enemy-wise. by this I mean all enemies arne't leveled with the player, some higer level enemies are places in certain places as a tool to keep you from progressing, leaving the open world gameplay a problem; but none the less it's still fun to play!



Snipers are amazing. Lori is also very skilled with a 9mm but she prefers to keep at a safe distance these days.

The main thing I prefer with NV is the companion system. I've never been one to play the game completley alone, and I find the companions of NV have so much more character to them. I also prefer the weapons system.

Aargh!

Taking a look in here was a mistake, now I'm getting the itch to dig out FO3 again...

Oh, I'll just get it for Xbox. Xbox doesn't require Steam, at least I hope not?

I'm playing Skyrim today (snow outside and all that) and I might roll a new toon for Oblivion today too on PC. I'm going to create Renee Gade III today for that game.



Sweet!


There are no mistakes in life, CT. Yes, you should play Fallout 3. * grins *

I'd advise against Fallout New Vegas on the 360. I had it, and got rid of it.

For me it started out with gamebreaking bugs, and by the time they were done patching it it still had gamebreaking bugs, only now half the time it would just freeze up before I could even finish creating a character. It was still buggy, and far too unstable.

Of course, not everyone on the 360 had the same experience, but still, it'll either be very good (and it certainly was a good game underneath all the bugs), or it'll be straight-up unplayable.

Yep, this is one of my big dislikes about NV. The PC version has lots of bugs too. Most of it is just silly stuff, like dogs with their eyeballs floating in the air beside their head, or scorpions doing handstands. But I had one completely gamebreaking one. Or at least it would have been if I had not been on the PC. Thankfully I was able to use the command console to get around it.

I have been running into a brand new bug this time playing. The game freezes whenever I try to load my most recent hard save. But it loads off the quicksave just fine, and any other hard saves. When I make a new hard save, it won't load off that one. But then it will load off the previous one just fine. Makes no sense to me at all.

Bugs? Yicch. I hate the things!

Well, depending on how much it costs, I'll either get NV or I won't. If it's less than 30 bucks at the game store, I'll go ahead and get it. We'll see.

See what it costs pre-owned. I really wouldn't say it's worth buying new. Too likely to bug out.


Now, the problem I've got with Fallout 3 is resisting the temptation to start a female character called Lexa Kimbo

Yes, you should roll that toon, CT. Make sure to buff her stats too.

Just kidding. What will Lexa Kimbo specialize in?

I can't remember what I paid for it on Steam. I think I got it on one of their sales for about $20 or $30 US. It should not be too expensive, it is a rather old game now.

I just checked Steam, and they want $10 for just the base game, and $20 for the Ultimate Edition with all the dlcs. So it's a decent price.

Not a bad price, I agree. That's actually a very good price.

She'll be a sniper, so; small guns, sneak, repair, and I'll have to boost lockpick and explosives (for mines). Or maybe I'll switch repair and lockpick around...

Then I'll be faced with the challenge of not making too many puns on account of her name.

You know what I love bout Fallout 3? The G.O.A.T. That whole entire part when they have to take the GOAT is hilarious. I forgot how funny it is. There's a lot of subtle humor during this scene.

Like does anybody else notice when the teacher is reading the questions he goes "Oh no!" during one part. That just kills me. And also towards the end he is reading the final question to his class, and he has to look down at a sheet to remind himself to say the right things about the Overseer. The entire time he's doing this, his voice is just 'meh', as if he's trying not to roll his eyes

I'll be honest, I've not paid any attention to the G.O.A.T. since my first couple of runs of the game. After that I just skipped it. I do remember the last question though, that was funny, the way he sounded so very tired of asking that question

After the first time, I have just skipped over the Goat too, so I cannot remember most of it. Just a few things like killing grandma...

Ahh such a shame. It's so funny. All the comments that are made as the students hand in their tests also are perfect. There's one gal who is surprised she's being slated for the Maintenance department for instance. And the Tunnel Snakes give the teacher a lot of semi-rude comments that had me cracking up

I´ll never be on the same page anyway!

AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP SAYING TOON!!!


...don´t want Warner Brothers on our tail...

What else would serious, hardcore gamers like ourselves call them?
