Of course it will be a buggy mess. Didn't you play KOTOR2? Also, they have to carry on the Beth tradition of releasing games with at least 20 game breaking bugs at launch.

The problem is they are still hung up on the antiquated gamebryo engine which can't handle the ambitious magnitude of the Fallout 3 open world and its gazillion variables and flags, which is why the more progress someone makes in the game, the more likely their save will become corrupted and crashy/buggy. Add in some of the worst hardware compatibility of any major PC title in the last couple years and the insulting 'we don't support windows 7 on the GOTY version of Fallout 3 even though we released it after win 7 came out'.

It's like reading a sports thread when you are trying to avoid a result. There will always be a numpty who doesn't know to use spoiler tags.

It doesn't make sense to just avoid the thread for 24 hours? :lol

Why do you keep suggesting that 24 hours from now we'll all have experienced every side quest in the game and be un-spoilable?

my character will be named Mr. Mjister and will be all lady. I hope you can get tattoos in this game.

She will have high INT and AGI - low END (1) and only 4 STR. She may start drinking a lot of whiskey. She doesn't use drugs except on weekends though. Also she has bad luck in always getting her partners killed, but good luck getting away from the battle still intact... My character is actually
a cyborg

For some reason I don't see much hype around this game at all.
Same thing with Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.

Over 1000 posts 2 days before release isnt hype? Its already got more preorders than 3 did I believe.

Pre-orders for NV surpassed those of F3. It may not look like it on the outside, but the sales are there. I know a lot of guys who never play RPGs and say that Fallout 3 was one of the raddest games they've played.

Sorry to sound dumb but I haven't followed this at all. So this takes place AFTER FO3 with a new character?

Edit: Read the OP. Hmmm might pick this up in a few months.

Would DarNified UI F3 work with New Vegas?

Good question. I don't know what mods are going to work with NV. I had to used a mod for the menus too, hopefully the menus are "optimized" for PC this time around.

Same here. I wasn't a big fan, to be honest, and i'm more likely to go back to Fallout 2 but that's probably just because Beth games just don't do it for me. Was still a good game even though I didn't enjoy it as much as I expected I would - kind of hoping New Vegas clicks for me.

Reposting from the Steam Gifting Thread in hope of finding someone before the Preorder thing ends:

Anyone in europe that could gift me the uncut Fallout New Vegas Version? It isnt exactly expensive in germany, but...not exactly uncut.
Unfortunately I dont have PayPal. I can make normal transaction to a bank account in europe though.

Also if anyone else wants to try this.. If someone gifts the version to me and likes "surprises" I would gift him back with english games worth 10 Dollars more than New Vegas did cost, if you give me a list of games that you already own and a list which you absolutely DONT want.

Alternatively you can also give me a list of games you'd like to have and if Fallout costs 50, I'd buy you anything for 60.

Edit: Oh and I am sorry, no Australians or any other country which rips off their customers please :lol

Making that choice based on gameplay or story is one thing, but there are some people out there who can't bring themselves to play evil in a game because they're not evil in real life, which strikes me as a bit silly.

It's called empathy and it's perfectly ok to feel it for a fictional character. It's the same reason why i jer... wait.

Obviously it uses gamebryo. I'm talking about the next Bethesda game.

I'm almost certain they already said they are making a new engine to support the next TES, which is due up before the next Fallout entry from them.

:O

Now that's some bullshit! 49,99€ in Sweden... so what's the reason for this?


*It being steamworks means I can just buy it from anywhere and have it on Steam, correct?

Because most EU/AU people are too stupid to get a US gifting thing going. :)

Get someone in the US to gift it to you. 50$ vs 90$

Since there seems to be a misunderstanding regarding "ripping off". I'd take a version from any country where the price comes in at around 50€, preferably UK or US of course but I basically dont care.

The Hardcore mode makes me happy. I had mods that did that in Fallout 3, but they're just not as well-implemented as a built-in mode would be.

I probably won't buy this until there is a huge mod collection out there, though, I like I did for Oblivion/Dragon Age/Fallout 3.

I wait for the PC releases tell the GOTY is out cheep on Steam now. Play on consoles first.

Don't really know why I do this, I guess double dipping makes me feel like I'm helping out the devs?

But yeah, for PC releases I like to wait for patches, great fan mods and all the DLC now.

Maybe I just secretly like spending more money?

My main computer is down (PSU broke), so I am using my secondary pc with the following specs:

AMD 64 x 2 5000+ @ 3.08Ghz
4GB DDR2 RAM (32bit OS FTL)
8800GTS 320mb


I play in 1280 x 1024 (or 768). Will I be okay in mostly high settings?

Weeeeeeeeell my 360 was stollen this very morning.

I could

1) Scream my lungs out KHAAAAAAAAAN style

2) Save some money to join the glorious PC master race

3) Cry myself to sleep and forget this game exist for the time being

But I think I'll go for secret option 4) : all of the above


Let that pointless my-life-sucks post be an inspiration to you all, kids: max out your LUCK, you never know when you'll need it.

I'm moving to a new flat; some asshole stole the box right off the moving truck (I was carrying something upstairs). I know I should have been more careful, and in some way, I only have myself to blame, but... Just before the NV release. Timing couldn't have been worse.

Such a thing never has great timing.

XBoxes are not that expensive anymore though.

I played F3 on a similar setup and I recall it ran pretty well on mostly high
