Hi. I emailed gamesas with a few ideas, and they suggested I post them in a forum. So here goes.

Modes of transport and some cammo gear please. To save you having to walk all over the place picking flowers etc., how about.

1. How come there are no military "cammo" style clothes to buy, steal, find etc? Surly there must be some about?

2. How come there is no personal transport to use to get your about the area faster than running?
Maybe a bicycle that needs spares and repairs?
Even a horse that needs to be fed? And if you're hungry, you can kill it and eat it yourself!! And there maybe various saddles for you to obtain to give you advantages with shooting whilst on the gallop?
Or maybe a moped that needs to be run on the various alcoholic drinks that are available and to be serviced? Maybe you need to get an MOT too? (Just joking!).

3. And because it is based in the good ole US of A, when it comes to weapons, why can't you get hold of the native North American firepower? BOWS AND ARROWS. If you got the schematics and the skill, you can knock up a bow and the arrows too. Tie on some dynamite, and KAPOW! Dip in poinson, and gurgh...Sloooow death....

As, I said, these are ideas I sent o gamesas and they said get some feed back. So what do you think?

It's not in the game because the developers have limited time and can't implement everything.

:down:

This is Fallout, not the Elder Scrolls. I've started playing Oblivion and love it so far, but walking around Cyrodil without a horse would get really dull quickly. I spent one playthrough in New Vegas using the fast travel feature as little as possible and I wasn't bored for a second.
I'd also much rather have an explosive crossbow then an explosive bow and arrow...oh wait, I have a Grenade Launcher.

Amen!

1. Not really. The ncr uniforms are kinda close to sand colour, I guess.
2. Fast travel means it's next to pointless. Locations are much closer together than in TES.


I hardly ever use a horse... but then again I normally go cross country where a horse would have trouble going... I just don't trust the roads.

Ummm. I know it's not in the game, but if the developers had limited time, then why would they produce the DLC's for FNV? Surely in the senarios we play, in "real life", just how many living people would be running about with lazers etc..?? Don't get me wrong, Fallout's great, but there is too much "high tech" flying about for such an environment.
Thanks for your reply anyway.

Good call regarding not using roads. I'm not much infavour of horses my self. But a tatty moped would be fun. Especially if you had to get fuel for it. But as in my original posting, I think there is too much "high tech" for a post apocalyptic world/land/what ever. Speaking for myself, I don't like using and high tech weapons or armour. I use glad rags and lead shooting weapons. Best gun you can get, it's gotta be the Light Machine Gun, 5.56cal with AP ammo. Awsome.

...

Think about what you just said and the answer will become apparent.



Laser weapons were mass produced before the Great War, so it's not surprising at all that people have gotten their hands on them.

the TES has magic as well as weapons. the FO games would be boring if they only have modern conventional weapons in it. it is fun trying out all those different type of weapons.

The wasteland is all a desert colour. So... Have desert colour uniforms. Which the NCR have already.

It does make sense to have vehicles, as the NCR would have to have gotten their weapons and heavy equipment to the Mojave.

I think Bows and Arrows are not such a good idea, as there are no trees whose wood is capable of making a bow.

The Fallout franchise plays in an alternate universe, where technology went in a different direction somewhere around the 50s. Instead of iPods we have nuclear powered pencil sharpeners.

Your a little late for the party.

There are SOME modes of transportation, just not for the Courier to use. After completing Lonesome Road and choosing the Long 15 to be... Blown to bits by a missile, when you go there, you see some destroyed vertibirds... Of course, I cant remember any mention of them during the game, but it seems to me that the NCR had been using them *shrugs*. Also, there IS that train in New Vegas that the NCR just happen to have...

But yeah, you dont really need any mode of transportotation, due to their being TONS of locations, and by the time you reach Lv. 20 or so you dont need to walk that far for almost any reason, you can fast travel to a location close to where you need to go, and easily walk there. Contrary to TES, where theres like five cities, and very few places to fast travel to in between them, so you mostly have to walk wherever you need to go..

Maybe if the next Fallouts world becomes really big, and theres not two hundred gazillion locations you can fast travel to, then something like a Motorcycle or even trains to ride could be interesting, depending on the location of the next one (I hope they take the same route TES did... Anyone up for a snowy setting XD?)

Fast Travel > Horse
Chinese Stealth Suit > Camo uniform
NCR "X" Uniforms > Camo uniform

Though I wouldn't mind a camo uniform, its not something I really need but should still be an option in game near Army bases

The reason there's no vehicular transport is that the game engine can't handle it, not the the level being more than a zipping world item with little to no animation. It can't even go that fast, because if it did, it'd keep zipping through cells causing the game to potentially crash.

I seen a mod where the guy/girl made on of the golf buggies drivable and the game ran rather smooth, s/he wasn't falling down the potholes or shaken side to side but beside minor physics everything was fine, I'll try find the video.

Found it, turns out it was a Fallout3 mod, but could easily be applied to Vegas since the code is almost the exact same. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7nxZUeAe0w

Would be more creative and fun if bethesda could add diferent uniforms with different colours :] and about transport? Well...how about sprinting/sprint ? would be nice to have an energy bar for sprinting,and endurance+strength decide the bar,bow and arrow would be very fun too,crossbows....

Ha! Ha! Loved the golfbuggy. TOPGEAR! FALLOUT NV. Must have been Hammond driving it with the clothing the bloke wore. And if you lot can cast your minds back to then you first woke up in Goodsprings. What was parked outside the cafe/diner? 3-4 motorbikes in good nick, just waiting for someone with good repair skills to... well... repair them.

Yeah for a town that must have been there for a good few years you'd think they'd have moved them or be actually using them.
I get the whole scenery thing, but its just one of those things, why?

Maybe they're really REALLY heavy.

It all boils down to one thing in a post-apocalyptic environment...fuel or lack there of.

In your opinion guys,what would be an good way to travel around wasteland quick?

Fast travel. I honestly prefer just wandering the wasteland as is.

A Bicycle.
