The Influence of New Vegas

You complain about AMR's killing Power Armored chars with just a few shots in NV, but the thing is, that's what AMRs were initially designed to do. They were used to scrap Tanks and Howitzers in WWI.

Started replaying Fallout 3 recently, without TTW this time and with FWE. Sentry Bots have 500 Health and 76% DR with FWE. They're absolutely ridiculous to kill. It takes a full drum from Eugene to kill them (at 100 Big Guns skill), that's like 250 shots, with all of them hitting the Torso. With FWE and T-51b Power Armor+Perks, i have 95% DR. Big hitters such as Missile Launchers, Sniper Rifles, Plasma Rifles and Grenades don't do [censored] to either me or the Sentry Bot. I can even take a Fat Man's Mini Nuke to the face and survive. Full auto weps though will start to tear into me. When it comes to pure DR, DPS is absolute King. No if, and, or buts about it.

A House mention in a pre-bomb fall Robco commercial would be sufficient for me

You are required to access and destroy a pretty tall building if you want to access those ending slides...

Hope so, don't need more dumbing down. Oops, too late.

This [censored] doesn't even need justification. It's a wonderful gameplay mechanism that in some cases defies realism, but is ultimately rooted in it.

Does this [censored] really matter? I recall Bethesda approached Obsidian too, and the result's the same as if it were the other way around.

After a bit of research it would seem that you are right.

In an earlier interview Todd failed to mention that Beth had solicited Obsidian's pitch for NV and made it sound like they came with it on their own. That was what i remembered but it's not the whole story so yes i was incorrect. apologies.

Not really. Simply wanted to know if that was true though for the sake of knowing.
