Agreed, the score is incredible, the ominous music that kicks in as you trek towards your next destination is awe inspiring. It sounds even better with my turtle beaches:D
Its a bit of a weirdness moment when coming across something in the desert and some creepy music plays. Kind of funny exaggeration effect when it happens as the screen blurs when a drug is wearing off. Sound and music really shine with drama in FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS. Hopefully they'll get some "BEST OF" awards for all the hard work.
I havent tried out any Turtle Beach headphones. Was using some Tritton Axpros but then switched to some Audio Technica ATH-AD700 stereo headphones a week ago and for me it was a totally different satisfying complete experiance. The AD700s seemed more 5.1 surround then actual 5.1 headphones did even though they were only stereo with a jaw dropping soundstage which allowed me to hear every little slight nuance in sound and in which direction it was coming from. 5.1 headphones just dont do it for me anymore especially with the bass overkill that drowns out all the other sounds. Everyone has their preferences though and it all comes down to what one likes to hear in their audio.
Its pretty cool finding all the great trinkets laying about in FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS which adds to the sense of satisfaction when treasure hunting. So far i've found a snow globe and roaring toy dinosaur. Brings back memories of TES 2 DAGGERFALL with all the trinkets and icons one would find while exploring the huge world.
