Fallout: New Vegas
If you're going to say late, leave.

What is New Vegas?

You should know this already, but whatever. Fallout: New Vegas is a sequel to Fallout 3.
It, obviously, takes place in the dead Las Vegas.

What's different?

Well, for one thing, it takes place in Las Vegas you ding dong, and instead of taking place as a Vault Escapee, you take place as one of those annoying trader people from the wasteland. The game places the player in the role of a courier. The courier, while delivering a package with unknown contents, is found unconscious in a shallow grave after a failed assassination attempt by an unknown assailant. The courier is treated for injuries by a local caregiver, Doc Mitchell.

What is the gameplay like?

The gameplay uses a different engine from Fallout 3's stuffty one. It will have many improvements from the old one.

What about the weapons?

There are new weapons, some are Fallout 3 weapons, and there's now a weapon modification system. The modification system allow for weapon modifications, such as mounting scopes, modifying rate of fire and changing size of magazine.

Are there still Companions?

Yes, but there are better control over your companions, using the new "Companion Wheel" feature.
The Companion Wheel is a graphical and a radial menu, it's an easier way to control your companions and give them orders.

We already know about Fallout: New Vegas, why did you make this topic?

Well, if you haven't noticed yet, it's up there for pre-order on Steam and you can get the "Caravan Pack", so I felt to dig up some information on it.

Pictures!





Heard of it propably gonna buy it

If you showed me those screenshots and told me it was Falllout 3, I would have no complaints.

they need a new engine

Looks like a bad reskin of Fo3, regardless I'm buying it but, considering it an expansion and not a sequel. I just hope they fix the stuffty combat mechanics. I also hope the scopes are 3D scopes.

they need a new Elder Scrolls instead of Fallout

Fix'd.

Fix'd.
Bethseda is just publishing this game, it's being developed by Obsidian. I'm pretty sure a new TES is already in the works.

i swear
if they make leveling like fallout 3
i will kill them

They announced it over a week ago.

The gas mask on the steam promo image is loving lovey.

No, it uses the same engine as Fallout 3.

It looks fun though, you can view down your gun's sights like in COD which I'm uncertain about.

If you think those images are from fallout 3, I took them from the Fallout: New Vegas page, go ahead and compare.

Anyways this is basically what would happen if you took fallout 3 and applied like 3 existing mods to it.

Also, this game is currently at the top of the pre-order list.

No way it's a different engine.
