It's also a testament to Josh Sawyer as project director that he went back through the Fallout games and anolyzed what mechanics and hooks that could be incorporated into New Vegas. Traits, certain weapons, caravan companies, character descendants, familiar faces, creatures from the West Coast, the remnants of older factions... seeing them all play out in New Vegas has been a fascinating process, and seeing these older elements in a new light in the Mojave Wasteland has been great to watch and experience.
This paragraph really stood out to me as something to look forward to in the game, the part in bold being what I am most excited to find how that was handled.
what characters descendants do you think we might encounter during the game?
