Wait...Alpha Deathclaws?

(also nice to hear that we can break down bullets and re-craft them in specialty rounds)

Hmm, I may order the CE guide via Amazon using the slow super-saver shipping.

I don't want to have TMI when I start the game, but it looks like very useful info that I can explore upon on a second play though...

Meh, it was okay.
Not the information I'm holding my breath for but at least it's something.
So, a [censored] load of craftable items huh?
Still wish we had a skill called Crafting.

I think it is the same jack-o-lantern face as http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2434/3629153996_f1af196c8f.jpg.

Just a typical glowing one (in both cases) as far as I can tell.

My memory failed me then. I remembered the glowingones faces to be identical to normal ghouls.

No matter then.

I wonder if we can fill manila envelopes with Legion coins and hurl them at enemies while spouting cheesy one-liners like "Special Delivery!"? I'm sure the answer is yes. Would this be the ultimate craft-able weapon? Yes again.

I wonder if that's the throwing spear we've heard about or another variety.

I am tempted to do a melee, survival character right off the bat just to get a feel for the new stuff they added.

the game guide looks really cool, but I have apprehensions. I think playing with a game guide right off the bat kinda ruins a game like fallout. I want all the info, but none of the spoilers.

Well you have the option to do so.....

But I think being a spear warrior is cool in New Vegas because I won't have to "miss" 20 times before one Gecko dies :banghead:

Feels more like a survival thing. But on my first and second play through it guns all the way baby :rock:
