Finally got back to playing this and am enjoying it. The gambling is abusable as fuck and that's all I've done all day. <3
I just started playing this for the first time after playing Oblivion for the last two months. I'm only a few hours in, but I can definitely see the improvements in almost everything now 
For example, I love how the first few quests start you out. Your in Doc Mitchel's house and he tells you to talk to Sunny about using guns (or something like that...). So, you go and help her and kill a bunch of Geckos. After that, she leaves you placed conveniently right next to the Goodspring well, something that can be useful in Hardcore mode. Then she suggests you go back to the Saloon to get acquainted with the locals, which is where you're introduced to the Powder Gangers.
It's so much more streamlined than Oblivion. I've already beaten it once as Mr. House; but I think I'll enjoy it much more the second playthrough.

The Vault has the list of achievements for the Gun Runner's DLC up.
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:LivingLifeless9/Achievements_for_Gun_Runners_DLC
Looks like there will be a fair number of 'challenges' in the DLC, wonder what they entail.

Me too. I wonder if this will bring it up to the point total F3 had.rainking187 said:

I gotta think that if Lonesome Road doesn't get us to 1550, that the Gun Runner's pack will vault (no pun intended) us past F3.MrTroubleMaker said:

I dunno. Looks like a lizard man. :lol
I think everything in the Divide is going to be horribly mutated some way. You need to be tough to be able to withstand storms like that.

Is it possible to pickpocket all merchants?
Trying to repair my armor to its fullest from Major Knight then stealing my money back. So far no luck even with a Stealth Boy and 100 Sneak skill.

So any idea if we've hit end of the line on the DLC yet?
I played FO3 and a few of the DLCs, it was good but nothing great.
Heard NV improved things considerably and I'm willing to give it a shot, but I'd rather wait for all the DLCs to come out so I can experience it in one cohesive playthrough.

The last dlc should be out on September 20, 2011. So I would expect the GOTY edition to follow soon after.
edit: forgot about the weapon pack, should be out on Sept 27th

How many games have songs performed by the lead developer in them? Cause i think New Vegas wins by default.
Just completed my first playthrough and LOVED it. First fallout game I've played and it was a great experience, will definitely do another playthrough with emphasis on different skills now I know how they all work and can ignore the main quests.

I think I'm going to play Fallout 3 as soon as I'm done

It'd be fun if they waited longer on a GotY edition than usual as to not interfere with Skyrim launch.

The punchline is that there will be no GotY edition because it didnt get any GotY award.HadesGigas said:

Then they'd call it an "Ultimate" edition, or a "Wasteland Edition", or something like that.water_wendi said:

If they're not going to call it GOTY Edition, I'd rather they go with something Vegas/gambling related. High Roller edition, All In Edition, No Limit edition, etc..

But then people will think we didn't win any awards!
I just realized Fallout caused me to fall in love with older music. I don't think I would have listened to a lot of these songs before playing Fallout.
♫ Yes, I've got heartaches by the number
A love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting
That's the day my world will end ♫

Replaying the game has caused me to get a much better opinion of Dead Money. The companions are just so interesting, as is the whole Sierra Madre area. Sure, the collars are annoying, as is the cloud, but they cause you to take risks and explore other routes. The Ghost People may be tough, but they're fair most of the time.
On the other hand, my opinion of Old World Blues has dropped significantly. The world's just not that interesting, the characters are only funny the first time, and constantly getting harrassed by Lobotomites/Nightstalkers/Zombie Suits/Cyberdogs/Whatever got old pretty quickly. My sneak skill is at 100, and even with the stealth suit equipped I usually can't run from one map marker to another without constantly being in the "CAUTION!"-status.

Bethesda/Obsidian will be releasing a Lonesome Road holotape each week leading up to release. This is the first one.

You can do Honest Hearts at lvl2 if you wanted. It's totally doable. Dead Money might be... a bit harder. It really depends on your build. Dead Money relies quite a bit on various skill checks, both for conversations as well as for hacking, lockpicking, disarming, etc. Since you're stripped of all your gear, you can't bring in a bunch of skill books and drugs to easily help either. I'll say do Honest Hearts first, and use that to buff your levels a bit. If you go in HH at 8, you should come out with a much more improved character who should be able to handle Dead Money decently.

You can definitely do Honest Hearts. Think I did it around 10. Don't know about Dead Money, but I did that at too high a level, in the mid 30s, and the enemies were pretty brutal. Try doing DM after HH and you'll probably be at a good level.
You worked on New Vegas? Props to you my man. So jealous!Lionheart1337 said:
Same here, i loved all of Dead Money, even if it was a little annoying, and being stripped of your inventory and left only with your skills and whatever you scavenge was very thrilling. I tried to play the other DLCs that way, and it kinda works, but the atmosphere is not the same.Blue Ninja said:
Ever managed to hit any of the Ghost People with one of their throwing spears? I can't never seem to get the timing right. Maybe 7 ST is not enough.
