Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back a page or two to re-sync the thread and this will then show latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

I stand corrected

If this plays like Fallout 3 but has the writing and choice of an old Black Isle game then I think my top 10 games ever list will need a reshuffle. The only thing holding Fallout 3 back was the crappy Bethesda writing.

Taken from no mutants allowed blog:# The Brotherhood of Steel is back, but the core story revolves around the NCR and Caesar's Legion.
# SPECIAL now has descriptions - eg CHA 10 = Cult Leader, EN 1 = Basically Dead.
# You get a Vault 21 jumpsuit from the doc who revives you, along with a pistol and a Pip Boy 3000.
# Weapons can be modified, but modifications only have positive results. The magazine implies you won't need to make a choice between different mods, because they won't be mutually exclusive.
# And a little later the magazine contradicts itself by writing that adding a larger magazine increases reload times.
# Every weapon has a special attack, not just the golf club. It seems that Fore! does not mean groin shots are back for every weapon.
# Guns have different knockback amounts, pistols don't do much, shotguns blast people away.
# There's a town-specific reputation, and Obsidian has 'hinted' that the reputation will impact endings.
# Karma has been overhauled, tracking the factions and ideologies that you agree with.
# Nightkin are back, as blue-skinned Super Mutants who've gone schizophrenic through Stealth Boy use. They attack you while cloaked, deactivating cloak at the last minute to hit you with a club.
# The Tabitha situation can also be resolved by convincing Tabitha to revolt against the other Super Mutants.
# Helios One is not only a power plant, but also the location of the controls of a solar weapon developed by Poseidon Energy which you can employ yourself.
* It shows the command wheel for followers, with 8 commands: toggle melee/ranged, open inventory, toggle stay close/keep distance, back up, toggle aggressive/passive AI, use stimpack, toggle wait here/follow me, return to normal dialogue.
* Scripting is wittier, characters more distinct. Example from vigour test word association: mother-human shield.
* Opening inventory consists of a kit from the doc, adapted to your starting stats (like Fallout 1).
* The Nevada area is less affected by the nuclear war, so it has plant life, relatively unspoiled houses, and in visual presentation has saturated colours and a bright sky.
* There's a tutorial (led by a character named Sunny who looks a lot like Moira Brown), but unlike Fallout 3, it's optional, so you can hit the open game in 5 minutes from starting.
* NCR and Caesar's Legion are the confirmed faction, article assumes Brotherhood of Steel will be in but they weren't not mentioned in the presentation.
* "In New Vegas it's all about the player examining the ideologies of the various groups that are controlling the area and supporting one over the others," explains Sawyer. "Each of the ideologies will have something good that you can relate to, but will also have massive flaws."
* When asked about PS3's Fallout 3 being inferior to the others and if New Vegas will do better, Obsidian devs make no promises but indicate it was a learning process and they're working with all 3 platforms and all have problems.
* The New Vegas strip is still in construction but will have gambling, variety shows and concerts.
* Electrical power is key in the faction struggle.
* Radiation is still a problem, there's a nuclear test site to explore north of New Vegas.
* The soundtrack will blend "Rat Pack style tunes with more Western numbers".
* New Vegas doesn't tell a single-player story, but weaves decision into the gameworld and gives you greater power to influence things than Fallout 3 did.
* On top of adding back in geckos, New Vegas has a whole new type of animal: mutated mountain rams called Big Horners.
