I love the CE box. I mean, it's no lunchbox, but it's still pretty nice.
and I don't get people not liking the metro tunnels in F3. They were fun to go through for me, and after you did it once you could just fast travel so it's not like you had to keep going back and forth through the same tunnel.

very good. even i, who am very forgiving of fallout 3, will readily admit that metro was confusing and seemed very silly and not well conceived.

I have that too.
Obsidian are such incompetent devs. This save bug made me lose like 2 hours of gameplay. Game runs like ass on %90 of nvidia cards. Did they even playtest their own fucking game? Cause I am not sure how you can miss those if you played it for an hour on pc.

Lovely that was my only hang up since I wanted to use my free money and don't feel like being a console beta tester again
If it runs CIV V without slowdown on high I think my PC can handle it.Animator said:
The save bug is definitely related to the steam cloud... manual saves are the only way to get around it.
What kind of performance are most people experiencing? At 1680x1050 I'm getting mostly (max settings, 4aa/16af) 60FPS with the occasion drop to 45 or so. It's pretty random though.

Amazon says my copy is on its way for delivery. Too bad I have to spend the evening at a family dinner and won't get home until late. Also, too bad I have work and Grad school the rest of the week.

Already ran into some character 5 hours in that are far more interesting than anyone I met in FO3. Cass and Ghost in particular. Also, the voicework is so so great - I honestly haven't heard a single repeated voice yet.
The game can ramp up in difficulty pretty quick.. Those
are an absolute bitch.

I'm doubting many people have completed it already but does anyone know if the ending will be like Fallout 3's original where you cannot do side-quests after finishing the main campaign.
If this is the case can people tell what they done with Fallout 3 because I only played it with the DLC and didn't experience that problem.

When I was playing on ultra settings last night, I was getting that as well, along with blue ones popping up occasionally, wasn't sure if it was a bug or intentional lol.
Has anyone gotten D3DOverrider to work with the game? Nothing I do works, have to use the in game vsync option and no idea if that is triple buffer or not.

It was mentioned in a dev video that when the game ends it ENDS.

You can't play the game after you complete. that's been confirmed by the devs a long time ago.

During interviews the devs said the game tells you clearly when you are at the point of no return. Once you get that message you have all the time you want to finish up side-quests or explore before returning to end the game.ashbash159 said:

I thought using someone else's engine would keep bugs away from this Obsidian game. Oh well guess I was wrong. Hope it gets patched soon.

My biggest gripe with Fallout 3 is that it punished players who put heavily put skill points into big guns and weapon skills as opposed to science, charisma, repair, etc. Is this any better in Fallout NV?

You mean the engine thats been consistently buggy for almost 10 years?reddwarf42 said:

If you pick explosives as one of your three starters, the game starts you out with some dynamite and the gangs in the local area are very prone to using it too, so you'll be able to loot plenty off their bodies.
So far I'm actually explosives-speech-lockpicking, with Four Eyes and Good Natured and having a blast.

Punished in what way? I mean, aside from repair, I'd say those characteristics were largely under-valued in FO3.

I think I read the exact opposite in here actually.... That there IS fast-tracking and there is no penalty for it.
edit: nvm, I'm wrong.
DoctorWho said:
Do you mean fast travel? You can use it on hardcore, just not if you want to travel somewhere so far that you would max out sleep, h20 or food in the process and die.
I recommend throwing it on and seeing if you like it. You can always switch it off at any time and the game is nice enough to (super mild spoiler about starting area)
start you very close to a clean water source that you can use any time at the beginning.

You'd think after 10 years of coding it'd be fixed by now.

Yea.. a lot of skills were pretty useless. Science was only helpful in getting double xp (unlock safe/door with lockpicking first then hack the computer). Barter had like a handful of options. Medicine was fairly useless. Actually, most of the skill "checks" in FO3 were fairly useless. Almost always you got the same information just phrased differently if you picked the normal option versus the [Science/Medicine/Barter] route.stupei said:
