    I will probably give it a run mid January. If someone else wants to step up before then they should for it.

    I am debating getting it because I know I am going to be pissed off when I find some of the new skill books they added. Will just rage if there is a gun one when I am maxed out already.

    take your time, be patient about having to travel on foot a lot more than in 3

    Finally got the game for chirstmas. I had no idea what was going on early but now I'm loving it. Those damn geckos though. I finally brought out the flamethrower. Level 3 :feelsgoodman: I'm headed to nector/vector or whatever the town is called.

    Did you ever play Fallout 3?

    Nah, I thought about it but was told to just play NV instead. I had never played any fallout game before a few days ago.

    People say this like the same people that played 3 actually played 1 and 2. They are nothing alike and I would not subject myself to the awful mechanics of those games. 3 just came out of left field and became an instant classic.
    If you end up enjoying NV, I feel like 3 has a much better atmosphere and can truly be enjoyed from a historical aspect. I would actually sit there and read stuff about the landmarks I was seeing in game. Cool shit.

    I've heard there are things that can ruin your saved games. This still happen? Or is it patched?

    And definitely play 3. You should be able to get it very cheap. One of the best games ever imo.

    Yeah, I really enjoyed the atmosphere much more in 3 than I did in NV.
     
  17. Ikawgagoo

    Ikawgagoo Well-Known Member

    Yeah, I'll have to pick it up when I'm done with NV. I don't think the order is a huge deal like some other games.

    Good to know on the saving bug.

    I've just now gotten into Fallout 3 and it's the coolest game I've ever played

    got NV for Xmas and will get into that later

    the VATS thing is so sweet....pretty sure I don't choose perks/add points in a really effective/efficient manner though

    Speech, locpick are 1 and 2. I then think small guns and science are tied for 3rd.

    Also.that ammo finder perk(scavanger I think) will save you a ton of caps.

    I always tag science, speech, and lockpick for sure. Intelligence at 9 and charisma at 1 when doing SPECIAL too.

    The Dead Money DLC is pretty good plus it lets you get up to level 35.

    Is this photoshopped or is there actually a way to display the names under the map markers?

    That sucks, I wish this was an option once you have discovered a location.

    So is it a no brainer if we are loving Fallout New Vegas to go ahead and get Fallout 3?

    Huge Oblivion fan and somehow missed that these games were related until the past 6 months or something. Is Fallout 3 as good as New Vegas? Better?

    3 is better than New Vegas. Starts slower but its better

    Man, I'm jealous. I wish I could go through 3 not knowing what to expect. You will love 3 if you like NV.

    Legendary Cazador, Nightstalker, Deathclaw, and Fire Gecko out there. Legendary Deathclaw was in some cave around Primm Pass. I strolled in there with my Ranger Combat Gear and cleared it out.

    I played through it just to get the skill books and for the extra 5 levels. Was nice adding 2 new perks. The ones they added all suck. Pretty much makes my guy a tank.

    Yet to finish this game. Really need to get around to it. Kinda stuck at a junction where I can't beat enemies in any direction.
