gaming Anypony here play Fallout:New Vegas?

[Yes-Man 597]

I'm just curious to see anyone else who does.

If so, who did you side with and why, what's your karma,and what is your character like?

 

I personally sided with the NCR,because they made the most sense for a good karma character.I had Very Good Karma, and my character is hispanic with shaggy hair,power armor, a plasma rifle,and a cowboy hat.

[Till Lindemann 8]

I have a Vault Tec t-shirt, does that explain it.

 

F3: Bad karma, Enclave power armor, ends up sacrificing life for good. Flaccid mohawk thing and beard.

 

NV: Bad karma, beard, Caesar's legion, bald, sort of. Basic Courier Six appearance.

[Twiliscael 3,960]

I would recommend Fallout 3. It is a vastly superior game and you can get the GOTY Edition for $5 at Gamestop.

 

Though for New Vegas, I had neutral karma, sided with Yes Man (because both the NCR and Legion were too controlling in their own ways). I used mainly pistols and rifles.

 

In Fallout 3,  neutral karma, and sacrificed 

Sentinel Lyons

to save the wasteland. I used mainly the Lincoln Repeater and Combat Shotgun.

[~Master~ Button Mash 2,307]

Eeyup! Plus since I played it on PC I modded it to the gills. Still haven't completely explored all the new content I added.

 

Played it several times over, once as NCR, once as Caesar's Legion, and once going lone wolf with Yes Man.

 

Though I preferred Fallout 3 (which I also modded to hell). The setting was a lot darker overall and seemed much more "apocalyptic" than New Vegas.

Yeah, New Vegas may have had a lot of bugs but it had much more replay-ability thn Fallout 3 and each story mode had a different result.

[Yes-Man 597]

Well, to me, a post-thermonuclear wasteland is a big desert.

Maybe that's why I liked New Vegas more.

I do like the Fallout 3 DLC's better than Vega's,though.

[dragon4111 914]

Byck yeah I play it. I played it with a white male with red hair. plus I wielded a anti matrial rifle. I played with very good karma with a side of thieving. I know I'm a bad pony.

[Retro*Derpy 3,185]

I enjoyed fallout NV, though Fallout 3 was better IMO. In Fallout NV, I sided with the Brother Hood of Steel, and got them to do a peace treaty with NCR. With lonesome road, I blew up Legion, and some how sided with Yes man as well? It was weird. I also managed to get all the gold in Dead money, so now I have thousands of mini nukes to kill everyone :3 I also have enclave armor, and Boone has BOS armor.

Pretty diverse and strange set of replies here.I love it!

Let's really keep the Fallout 3 was better discussion down,I'd rather not have this thread become one of THOSE. <_<

[Grayhem1136 10]

I'm played it, and I'm playing it right now.

I always play the goody two shoes, even in other RPG's I can't play the bad guy for some reason, I geas I'm to good natured.

I'm cocasion male, beard, blast back hear. wearing a bounty hunters clothes sunglasses and the ranger gray hat.

I make myself a hacker and lock picker useing either a energy or firearm weapon.

And I always go with the NCR.

Yep I play or rather I played. When I completed it and all the dlc I moved on. But its one of my games that I'll never trade in

 

Well the first play through I was in good Karma and sided with the NCR. I speced my character to be rougish, hacking, stealthy, lockpicking etc. But once those were maxed out I put loads of points into maxing out the weapons.

 

I was wandering around in Brotherhood of Steel armour, and had I think a pulse rifle and a sniper rifle. Of course he had dreads

I usually try to side with Mr. House mostly because the Ceaser and NCR annoy me.

I usually get bored and decided I want one of those rangers helmets, so that means I'm usually vilified with NCR.

And I just kill Ceaser's men just for the fun of it. So basically I play as a psychopath...

 

My characters usually look like me, meaning they have beards and are asian. My builds vary depending on how I want to play. I usually play melee and sniper all the way but I have tried mixing things up. I've playing with fists only (it was very hard), and I once tried to play without killing anyone (it kinda failed once I found the minigun...)

Man, been a while since I played this. I like playing the good guy, and would probably side with NCR being a California boy myself. Yes Man's not bad either, I suppose. But there's something about that [spoiler ALERT] brain-in-a-jar thing that has always freaked me out just a bit. Messy dirty blonde hair, a little stubble, and brains over brawn. Plus as many APs as possible, for V.A.T.S is amazing.

I've never played any of the games in the Fallout series, although I've heard that they are good. I don't know if a new one is coming out or anything though, because I usually won't buy old games when I could just wait until the newest one comes out. (With the thought in mind that the newer one will be better.)

I played it a lot when it first came out, but not so much anymore. It was a great game, but not as good as Fallout 3 in my opinion.

 

I sided with the NCR and my karma was pretty good I think.

 

I liked to use guns such as assault rifles, shotguns, pistols, etc. I almost never used melee weapons.

[Evilshy 5,090]

I never actually finished NV, I just kept making new characters. This tends to happen to me on a lot of open world RPGs

Anyway, my first character had messy, auburn hair, and was evil (I always go evil first time I play a new game where you can choose). I mainly just ran around and VATs bitches in the head a 10mil. I ended up with Caesars Legion, but having rangers chase me down all the time was annoying.

Second character was mostly the same stat-wise, but with a different appearance and neutral karma. I almost finished that one.

My 3rd character was Bill Nye. Good karma, as close to Bill Nye as I could make him look, high intelligence and charisma, and uses lasers and science. Didn't get very far, but it was fun RPing Bill Nye in fallout

 

 

Also, general question to those who say 3 is better. I don't want to start an argument, but why do you think that? Also, have you played the older Fallouts (1 and 2) at all?

That's a sad way to look at games, you probably miss out on a lot of great ones

I mean, Diablo 2 is way better than 3, Morrowind is better than both Oblivion and Skyrim, Fallout 2 is better than any other FO, CoD 2 is better than Modern Black WarOps 6 zombie edition or whatever.

[Twilight Circuits 603]

Oh man I had so many WTF moments in Fallout3 it was great. Wonder where Dogmeat is and find him running at me on fire! i'm like "Whaaaat...."

[One 498]

Modern Black WarOps 6 zombie edition or whatever.

I think you mean:

 

Overhyped Call of Duty: Modern Black Op Special Zombie Dubstep Lensflare 7 ELITE Bonus Edition

 

That sounds like a fun game... Ha! That was a joke!

[MagmaKnight 17]

Yeah I enjoyed Fallout: NV not as much as I did Fallout 3 though but I still loved it.

 

I also sided with the NCR since they seemed to be the best leaders for the future of the Mojave. 

 

I always go good karma in every Fallout game I play and I rarely spend much time on character customization (Mainly because he's going to be covered up with badass power armour!)  

[RippedOffMattress 314]

Yeah, but it was full of bugs, and that the game itself was getting a bit boring, so I had to stop. I mainly only got it for the Pit-Boy for the Engineer in TF2.

[Harmonic Revelations 8,835]

I have played it once or twice, and only for a few hours, I didn't get very far. It was fun but I just had a very busy schedule at the time, I might get back into playing it eventually.

[Jon the VGNerd 885]

I play Fallout: New Vegas, but the trophies are REALLY slow to earn, compared to Fallout 3, and the enemies, such as Deathclaws and Cazadores are difficult to kill and the Fat Man weapons are rudimentary, often scarce, which makes killing them impossible, especially the Deathclaw Alpha, which I find it unpredictable to kill as I'm ALWAYS getting killed by it in Quarry's Junction. <_<

[Twiliscael 3,960]

Also, general question to those who say 3 is better. I don't want to start an argument, but why do you think that? Also, have you played the older Fallouts (1 and 2) at all?

I have several reasons why I think that 3 is a better game. First and foremost is the wasteland. The Capitol Wasteland had so many memorable places in it, and it was never boring to explore. You could go anywhere and do anything right from the beginning. In NV, the wasteland was just a giant desert and it felt like you were forced onto a linear path to the Vegas Strip through Primm, Nelson, and Novak. Next was the general tone and difficulty. Within 3, the whole setting of the game felt bleak, hopeless, and depressing. Everything that a wasteland should fee like. People were dying of thirst, reduced to living in sewers, committing suicide, and making weapons out of random shit they found in a junkyard. Alot of the Mojave's inhabitants were living okay lives with money and food in settlements spread throughout the desert. Plus, I breezed through NV on the hardest difficulty with ease. In Fallout 3, that never happened. Lastly was the engine and bugs. In 2007, the engine used for Fallout 3 was spectacular. It had everything it needed and was an improvement over the one used in Oblivion only a year before. You'd think that in the 2 or 3 years in between 3 and NV they'd have made some sort of improvement. There was none. Also, countless bugs occurred for me in NV which include but are not limited to quest items falling through the floor, invincible enemies, hostiles becoming passive or passives becoming hostile for no reason, and worst of all, the final boss (Lanius) going to sleep and not waking up instead of fighting me. He told me how he'd kill me and all of my armies and conquer the Mojave, then proceeded to go in his tent and nap.

 

That's not to say that New Vegas didn't have it's improvements. The main one being the new companion system and the aim-down-sights feature. Companions felt like true characters with their dialogue and personal quests. And the aim-down-sights just made the game more immersive and fun to play. In my opinion, Fallout New Vegas is superior from a gameplay standpoint with the additions to combat and skill and all, but it pales in comparison to the experience and feel of 3.

 

And for the record, I've played Fallout 2. Not 1 though, I might check it out.

[Metatora 37]

New Vegas was an improvement over 3 in terms of combat and story, but I enjoyed Fallout 3 more. I'm only 40 minutes from D.C and to see a place that I've actually been to totally decimated like that hit me closer to home, unlike the Mojave, which was just sand. 

 

New Vegas also lacked in exploration. In 3, I could literally spend hours just wandering the wasteland and never run out of areas to explore or things to shoot. But in New Vegas, it was more linear (plus those damn Cazadores) and there was much less interesting scenery to look at. 

 

Though I will say that New Vegas gave me the better challenge, even after I had gotten the hang of the game, I still needed to be careful. But after a certain point in 3 (usually level 15) I was able to steamroll anything that got in my way. 

[TheBreech 91]

Do I play Fallout: New Vegas... Does a Lakelurk look like he's shouting Fus Ro Da? Lol, I realized that one. XD

I'm a good guy in the Fallout Series. My character, Leo, wears light armor (leather then Courier's Duster after The Lonesome Road) and he uses SMGs and Sniper/Anti-Matter Rifles. If it's an emergency and I have a good one, I'll use pistols but I will be at zero ammo whatsoever for the first two before I comprimise. I always have him with Boone's little hat (I can't remember how to spell beret or whatever it is) and Sunglasses.

 

I help the NCR. They may be a disorganized bunch of trigger happy grunts and depressed snipers, but at least they're not a bunch of sadistic, sexist, skirt wearing rapists and slavers. Seriously, women can't be in the military but guys can wear skirts? WTF LEGION?!?!?!

Mr House is just a Big Brother type of characte, and I know for a fact 2+2=4, not 5 ever! (A reference there if you've read George Orwell's 1984)

Finally, I don't want to lead humanity to rebuild it self. Thats too much attention focused on me, I'd rather just play guardian angel for the guys who does. I prefer being like Ezio, not like the prince he's protecting.
