This would be the hugest, most comprehensive DLC ever. I don't think you can really argue against the fact that it's a full, content packed game. It has a number of improvements over three, like the hardcore mode and a ton of little things, plus it's an entire new map to explore. It's the wastelands, but it has a unique theme.
What more did you expect?

The game definitely plays differently for me than Fallout 3. The inclusion of Damage Threshold? Is one of the bigger thing in combat. You can't just take out a Robot or Rad Scorpion with a dinky gun or you'll just waste bullets on route to killing them. Then there's Hardcore mode that has me utilizing a lot of the junk that had no purpose in Fallout 3.
It may look exactly the same in parts but the base game play is a richer.

of course its a full game with lots of stuff, it'd have to be. But it feels like more of the same.
maybe because I played through GOTY edition maybe around may but it doesn't feel fresh.
my comment made no valuation with regards to content but more related to atmosphere.

Comparing it to FO3, how does it stack up in terms of content? One of the things I loved about FO3 was that even after tens of hours of play, I still felt there was much more to do and explore.
I know it's probably hard to say already since it only just got released a day or so ago. But it's still something I'd like to know if possible

Cool. The game doesn't claim to be Fallout 4 (whatever the hell that would mean anyway).
Why did you buy the game without looking into it at all? It's terribly obvious that the game is more or less the same as Fallout 3 graphically and system-wise. The story, setting, characters, and encounters are the draw for this game.

Much more engaging, but that wouldn't have been difficult considering how insipid and dull I found much of Fallout 3's dialogue. This certainly isn't Planescape: Torment but the dialogue is generally much more interesting than the previous game, and there is considerably more dark humor that permeates New Vegas relative to Fallout 3. The characters are better-written and generally much better-voiced, with an exception or two so far (Sunny).
This isn't Fallout 3. This is the game Fallout 3 wanted to be. Playing in Hardcore mode on higher difficulties, the game takes on much more of a survivalist tone (befitting a post-apoc world), which was never the case with Fallout 3 when you were able to eliminate everything easily with VATS and never really had to worry about much in and out of combat.
It took me a while to notice, but I just realized that some music tracks in Fallout 1 and 2 are in the game! That was so awesome and it just fits so well. Notably, I had the LA Boneyard ambient music playing while in the NCR camp near Primm. I also heard the typical dungeon music that played in FO1 and 2 in, well, dungeon-like locations.
I wish they got Mark Morgan to score the entire thing instead of Inon Zur but Zur's tracks for New Vegas definitely fit better than the out of place brassy "epic" tunes he did for Fallout 3.

Sorry, I didn't know that character's name was a spoiler, it was mentioned all over in the official pre-release media releases including the latest dev diary, so I didn't think there was anything spoilerific to it. Fixed now.

Well, it's not really up to Obsidian really. They're a developer and if they're paid by the publisher to continue support they would. Fallout New Vegas is obviously a big deal and it's going to sell a ton, so yes it is already much more supported than Alpha Protocol was. AP was sent to die by Sega after a very troubled development.

I rolled with Jericho for most of the game in F3. Had Dogmeat along for a while as well, but he wasn't nearly as effective.
With Jericho, I never really had that many of the companion issues that so many others did. He killed shit and never died (especially after I decked him out in power armor), and he was also beneficial to have around as a mule. Worked out quite nicely, even if it just made the game even easier. :lol

Fawkes was awesome with his gatling laser. Problem was he was so slow. By the time he'd start shooting anything, Dogmeat would have killed everything. :lolZeliard said:He wasn't terrible or anything, but in a fight, Jericho manning a minigun in power armor is simply more effective (and awesome-looking).
Main reason I eventually let Dogmeat go is because he was just making an already easy game just too easy.

It isn't close to where Harland is; it's almost on the other side of the level where you end up in some basement/generator kind of area with a nightkin who has a key, which you use to unlock the locked section in that very same room, then proceed downstairs to a series of rooms.
Here's the video I mentioned earlier, of me clipping through the ground then ending up at the exit -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ipwz5jel4E
I'm still a long way off from
, which people are mentioning as the earliest place for a safe container. I did just find a second
. Can I use those as safe containers, or do they get cleared out?

I'm aware that I'll need to pick up the stuff at the different box I've sent the stuff to.

It might vary based on difficulty level, but I had
about six Stealth Boys and Boone with me, so I wound up creeping through the hallways, stealthed, careful to aggro only one Nightkin at a time. I'd fire off shotgun blasts while retreating to keep them chasing me, and Boone'd shoot them in the fricking head. I killed off every Nightkin but the last one in the basement that way, no trouble, on Normal. More than one at a time, though, turned into a bloodbath.

so i have to kill a nightkin for the key?RS4- said:
Darn that stinks. I figured I'd
play both sides in the NCR vs Powder Ganger prison thing. I told the lieutenant I wanted to be part of the raid, but instead of rendezvousing with the guy near the prison, I went in first and sneak attacked Eddie and killed everyone, but then the NCR soldiers considered me an enemy.
