The entrance to another DLC (Probably one in LA)?

Post » Mon Aug 16, 2010 9:01 pm

I recently started replaying Nv, which I haven't touched since January after beating Dead Money (Is it just me, or did the last update increase that annoying glitch where your gun goes up higher/over your head) and I just go to the Mohave outpost. I went to the back of it and saw that the gate needs a key. Now it could be that there is a key for it and I just never found it, but I think it's actually set as an entrance for a future DLC. If so, it will probably be set if LA, as a sign just b4 you reach primm (which is down the road from the outpost) says
Los Angeles on it. Now since the arrow points up (twords the outpost) I'd assume that that's the direction LA is in, but it also says nipton underneath it, so I could be wrong. Does anyone know if LA is supposed to be south of
Nipton
the outpost, or east of nipton. I'm thinking the gate in the outpost DOES lead to LA as on the map the road that goes through it is two lanes, like a highway. Also, there clearly used to be a toll booth or something in the outpost, so that could have been the boarder between Nevada and California. What does everyone else think?

I don't think that entrance will lead anywhere as a DLC. It goes back southwest toward's NCR. Been there done that with Fallout 2.

LA was in Fallout so I doubt they would make a DLC for it in New Vegas. Its also 270 miles away.

It just seems like too much of a coincidence to me... to be honest I'm a little frustrated by all this "we were already there" crap. Yeah we were there- with [censored] 2D, top down graphics. To me its not near as fun exploring in the old FOs as it is in the new ones. The style is just much better for exploring imo. I'm surprised fans of the originals aren't begging them to do it. I played 1 and a bit of 2 and would LOVE to explore LA in the new style. Besides, its probably changed a lot since its been, what, over 50 yrs (or is it 100)?

Yes. LA is to the southwest of New Vegas, but I doubt they will make a dlc that goes to LA just because how far it is from Vegas. Plus I think the next Fallout game will be set in the LA area. Just a guess though.

I hope the next game will be in New York City or Florida!!!! That would be awesome.

Its not going to be the location of the next Fallout Game. I know this because LA is a big part of Fallout aka Fallout One. Its known as the Boneyard.

Also California is civilized now with the NCR so it won't be much fun as an unlawful area like Mojave Wasteland or Capital Wasteland or Point Lookout. Basically LA would be like the Strip with guards everywhere.

I think it would be pretty cool but I doubt it.

I think its just there to show where the NCR and caravaners are coming from.

You can run past it on PC and its nothing but desert followed by a huge dropoff of water.

It may well lead to LA, and I know you went there in Fallout, but half of the people that bought NV(and F3 for that matter) havent played any of the old Fallouts, like me.
I would love a DLC where you go to California, and anyone who says "Go play Fallout and see it there", it will probably look like x1000 different.

i think it would be cool if the next FO game was set in like a mountainy area, where as alot of people would run to if there really was a nuclear attack. kinda like where the "friendly" super mutants reside in new vegas. almost like an elder scrolls:oblivion type area. of course we'd have to have some sort of access to some "close by" city or towns.

if im correct, in one of the interviews with someone at bethesda, it was mentioned that a previous place that players wouldnt think they would see again will be in an add on,as well according to wiki there's still 2 possible add ons other than honest hearts,lonesome road and that other one that might be made

And your point? Maybe we can solve an economic or infighting issue. Are you implying it is an absolute must that a DLC has mandatory violents, bullet sponges, and all that crap? Plus, The Boneyard is not that civilized. Razz, or whatever his name is, at Camp Golf mentions how growing up there was rough, and he either joined NCR army or die by NCR's hands for joining chem fiends in the Boneyard region. He can't be any older than 25-26, so It's perfectly logical to deduce The Boneyard being a good DLC. Plus, if it add's more 'What after all this time' lore to the series. Don't be such a closed minded person over this :shrug:

la is 245.8 from primm that's a wee bit far

Your point? We could ride with a caravan, or maybe the NCR could reutilize an old USAF military truck, the BoS and NCR both make use of them as shown by their use at bases.

it was in the first fallout no point going back you wanna see la play the first fallout

Again, your point? It's been near to 50+ years since the Chosen One went forth. Times change. If done right, it's perfectly acceptable to see an old site.

Because you're acting like one of those people who thinks the old games are a holy grail and should never be retextured and updated with new lore, which is counterproductive of your third signature sentence.

There is nothing wrong with revisiting old locations if done right. I have faith in Obsidian's writers to do right by lore. They did amazing with the base game and Dead Money's lore, and they'll keep on doing so.

Hmmm i see that. But that sentence is totally unrelated to Fallout. I guess if they do alot of things to spruce it up and not make it totally out of whack it could work.

Thats what i just said, it will look a million times different with the NV engine. and maybe you are in a vertibird and it crashes.
And mayybe, it gets taken over by the Legion or another faction.. I just think it would be great to go there.
