Fallout: New Vegas Video Diary #4 : Fallout: New Vegas

But now the real question, which of the 3 major factions should I back?

Mr. House, who else? I mean it's frikin' Constable Odo people!

Watched the video again. While the character is talking to the computer with Mr.House's face he gets 2 things added to his inventory
"Nephi's Golf Driver"
"200 powder ganger charge(s)"

The golf driver is pretty self explanatory, but I wonder what the Powder Ganger charges are?

Explosive golfballs

Really loved this Dev Diary... I'm a huge fan of Rene's voice and it sounds amazing for the Mr House character.

The House shall fall, The Legion will falter, and the NCR will crumble. :gun:

PLEASE DON'T LET HOUSE BE ZAX! Do the devs realize why that would be such a bad thing?

Why would it?

Soo hard to decide who to back.. I'd back Mr. House but he doesn't seem to have any real physical forces.
NCR seems good right now since i've always wanted to stake every single slaver in the face.
All mafia like factions shall be befriended aswell.

Democracy and Organized crime go hand in hand lol

The factions are going to add tons of fun to play around with.I'm thinking of not even joining a faction an be solo throughout the wastes.I finally have extra reasons as to why I would make more characters for.My top 2 factions to join are Mr.House's group an the NCR.I'll just make 3 similar characters.
Would you still be able to work with all 3 primary factions or is it only restricted to one? If you don't count the disguises that is.

Since both enclave and BOS will be in new vegas

Enclave are confirmed?

@Lucky 38- How about you and I are BOTH Mr. Houses #1 fan boy :disguise:

What about me?!?

Why would it?

Because, it's been repeated over and over ind I just don't like it as a plot device. I'd rather have a human for a main character rather than a computer.

Vulpes Inculta, I'm going to have so much fun doing his quests

I can't wait for Omerta they are in charge of Gommorah that will be fun.

I'm staying away from Fisto the robot is not worth it

because although there recources are strung thin, there intentions are good. they want to bring america back to how it was before the war.

But isn't the way America was "before the war" one of the contributing factors to the world essentially ending? I'm not sure I'd want to side with a faction that will once again put the world on a collision course with destruction, even if they are well intentioned.

It has not been repeated over and over, it has been in one game, Fallout 3.

Fallout 1 had a giant blob.
Fallout Tactics had 8 brains connected to a machine.
PL had a preserved brain.
But none of them has had a ZAX super computer as a main character.
Only Fallout 3 did.

I don't wanna sound like an ass but I don't really like this faction system. I mean I wanna be able to experience everything with one character so I can log in over a hundred hours on him but idk it seems cool but three way branching doesn't sound that great to me.

One word: Replayability.

It doesn't bother me but i find it strange that they state that they don't want polarized factions (good/evil) and then they go on to say Caesars Legion is evil and NCR is good.

Let me rephrase that. A non-humanoid/organic character.

Can somebody confirm the Enclave, and did anybody else see the tranquility lounger?

i think they have learned from there mistakes. plus i doubt there could be another war that would require the same amount of fighting that the Great War did.

plus what nukes would they use. mini nukes arent enough to blow the world back to the stone age (again).

plus one of the reasons they are so low on recourses is that they have to fight off jerks like the legion

But that may be the amazing thing about him - he may have few resources, but he knows how to work behind the scenes and nudge things in a way that makes things go his way ... :shifty: . Besides, it's possible that while he lacks manpower, he has plenty other resources.

Brains are still organic.

Like money.I'm sure he could get a group of gunslingers or snipers to work for him.

Okay fine, something that can move. You know what I mean, plus you complain about things all the time on this forum, can't you let me have this one?

i agree. we dont need any more "what a tweest"s where the twist is that so and so is a Non humanoid thingy

but why is everyone assuming that House is a villain. it seems it all depends on what your views are

Because you didn't specify it right.
Feel free to correct me next time I'm wrong.

That seems to be one of the main things Obsidian have been aiming for, 3 shades of grey

The CL look more of a blackish color than gray.
