Rangers have to be agile, they're scouts and snipers... not soldiers. NCR Salvaged Power Armor is stripped of its servo-motors making it literally nothing more than heavy plate mail, and on top of that the original T-45d model wasn't that flexible to begin with, so it would be impractical for a ranger to use.

yer it would be very impractical to have very heavy armour when all your doing is scouting for recources survivers weopens the enemy and towns

maybe just maybe the ncr troopers could have had some sort of heavy armour :fallout:

Wah? Great weapon, and don a cowboy hat and it fits right in.




Seconded. Not the Vet Ranger outfits, but those dorky http://www.google.co.uk/search?um=1&hl=en&safe=off&biw=1280&bih=923&site=search&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=american+campaign+hat&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq= that sit high on the head. rolf, they look ridiculous. WTF is with those? The outfit that goes with them in game too, you couldn't pay any of my character's to wear. NV didn't really add much good by way of outfits, I still think the most Fallouty-wanderer-courier outfits is the merc gear, and they didn't add any. Luckily the FO3 stuff is present though.

@ Boone the loon - yeah, I agree the levelling is too fast. I don't like to be maxed out two thirds of the way through my play. Although, I will say, the balance is a little better than in FO3.

same leveling :thumbsdown: too fast

In many ways it did, when the game begin i was so excited !!! as it played on i thought it was the best game ever! The new feel of the gameplay and the new hardcoe mode. But then it seemed to fall apart. As the storyline unfolded i realized how bad it was compared to fallout 3. There was a lack of emotion in the game. A lack of self being, The feeling of " Yea! i like this guy, oh nooo hes dead !!! so now im gonna avenge this guys death" overall it was 50/50 half bad half good.

Frankly, I find the whole faction conflict more fascinating and worth the motivation as opposed to being forced into the whole(and badly written) BoS and daddy plot.
Plus you get choices in NV. Something that F3 sadly misses.

You get choices in fo3 just fallout new vegas does it better it's like me saying theres NO exploration in fonv theres some but fallout 3 does it much better.Really American dream onwards theres choices same with fonv (well actually it's the one choice who to go with but whatever) at ring a ding ding after you HAVE to confront Benny which isn't exactly "ohh here do what you want".

I am quite disappointed. When I buy a game, ANY game, I expect it to work. Right off the bat it has to work. This is something I expect of a product regardless of who made it or what it is. I expect my RC stuff to work. I expect my auto parts to work. I expect my appliances to work. I expect my videogames to work. I'm also more than willing to wait out a release delay so the dev can ensure that it does, in fact, work. However...


New Vegas is about the buggiest pile of -beep- I've ever tried to play. I have to install a community patch just to get the damn thing to start! And don't get me started on the savegame issues...if it isn't screwing them up via Steam cloud it's corrupting them before I can get even remotely near the level cap. I've also never seen the ending slides Obsidian yammered on about for months prior to release. Why? THE GAME CRASHES FIVE SECONDS INTO THEM! It has done this despite my best bugfixing efforts, and it does this vanilla.


I could go on and on all day about all the bugs I've experienced in the Vanilla game, but I'll spare you guys the trouble. Suffice it to say that I could find something broken in every single cell.


Great game, but I am still highly disappointed because of A: How buggy it was and B: How long it's taking to patch it. I can only hope Obsidian has taken so long to release a bugfix patch because they were making genuine efforts to do something they should have delayed the game to do before it ever released. But I have the oddest feeling they spent the time they could have been using to fix bugs to instead make more DLC.



Seriously guys, do you even have a QA department?

I was dissapointed that you couldnt actually join benny.

It would be like 2 main ways to go and then 4 sub ways to go if they did that. Then there would have been so many options.

I would've liked it if we could have PG's, Khans and BOS take over as well.
PG's since they get their own land and can rule as they want and earn money from the already built establishments.
Khans so that they can have their own land back from the NCR and stop having to flee from them.
And BOS for obvious reasons. (Helios One, Vegas, Hoover Dam.)

But one can't always get what one wants.

Thought they could of handled the Benny situation a lot better .Bang bang ha ha chip mine .Then bang bang Benny with a hot plasma on his chin .Wish you could join him or even have him as a companion to say sorry for his greed.

Whats a PG?


And if you could have him as a companion that would also be awesome.

BTW im listening to that song right now on pandora it just popped up: You cant get what you want....

Powder ganger's rated PG.

I can't believe some people are complaining about multiple endings. It is supposed to be a RPG (role play game) so, in short, you, well, play a role, and change the outcome of the story/gameworld.



Precisely. Couldn't have said better myself.



If you are talking about exploration, I agree, FO3 has a lot more "things to do", the landscape is great. But it doesn't do much for me. I don't enjoy much wandering around aimlessly through the wastes with no reason at all, so personally, FO3 for me has a huge lack of things to do.

But not New Vegas. NV has truckloads of quests, you can find a quest almost everywhere you go, and a good bunch of them are interweaved in subtle, clever ways. It makes me feel important, because I am actively doing things, and interacting with the NPCS and the gameworld, not just walking around the landscape killing random things and collecting loot.

Plus, the Mojave Wasteland has quite a bit of inspiration from the real world Mojave Desert. Since it is not widely know as the Capital DC, it is no surprise that very few people are aware of that. I recommend visiting http://www.falloutnewvegastour.com/ .

IN short, FNV exceed my expectations, and, right now, is one of my favorite games. A Role Play Game through and through, that really understands the Fallout setting. :thumbsup:

Bethesda executives wanted this games to be released in 2010, and this what we got

Fo3's quests weren't boring a lot of people moan that they were too "epic" and weren't really coherent in the game world are you high on jet?

You have guts to insult someone without a good argument

When I saw the trailers I thought it would be awesome. Even though I didn't care for the setting or the main storyline, I thought it would have the other elements I like. For instance exploration, random encounters, challenging quests, dungeon crawling, to name a few. As I started playing the game my reaction to the main quests was as expected, I didn't think it was that interesting. But that's ok because I'll be able to roam, and explore, and go dungeon crawling and fight enemies. Well there was some of that, but it's not nearly as satisfying as I expected. And then there was the glitches, which didn't bother me at first because I figured they would get fixed. My game still crashes. The Strip is extremely disappointing. What partially saved the game for me was the Companions and their quests. So, I guess my answer is no. It didn't live up to my expectations. But there are some new things they added to the game play in general that I really like. Companions mostly.

Have you tried TES?

There were plenty of choices in fo3 you just don t remember them. NV had more, but fo3 had them.

As i've stated tut but yeah people seem willing to throw lies when fallout 3 is involved .

Wow! I read this and had to check to make sure it wasn't me who wrote it. This part ..."Sure, it is chock full of story, but it's like in "nodes" - travel from this camp, to that camp, to this cave, back to camp, back to the other camp, to the hangar, back to camp, back to the cave... over and over. Meaning for most of the game you could play it with Fast Travel alone (as long as you found the places on the map first). I didn't like that. I want to walk, explore, I want my story stretched out over the wasteland"...was one of my biggest disappointments in the game as well. Sure you could have walked back and forth to these places, but it would have been very boring because there is nothing going on between one map marker and the other and when you get to your destination there is no challenge to completing it. You just walk up and your done. It's just less boring to fast travel and get the boring quest over and out of the way. There needs to be a challenge to completing a quest wouldn't you agree?

I started playing Oblivion IV, but have not gotten very far. I think I miss the FO3 atmosphere. But I'm not going to give up on it because I think it has some game elements I like.
