we dont know exactly what is between the coasts... it could be all http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damnation_Alley_(film) for all we know between Chicago and the East coast. if thats the case making it cross country on foot would make for one hell of a walk sir


best companion ever.

I'll second that. Sulik rocks.

ED-E was being sent to Chicago from Navarro in California, ED-E broke down some where between Navarro and New Vegas and was delivered to Primm by some other courier. ED-E never made it to the East Coast. The Eye-bots on the East coast were brought along by the Enclave.

you got that all wrong.

ED-E was sent West from Adams air force base (the base at the end of broken steel) by Whitley.
He thought Navarro was still operational.

ED-E passed through an Enclave Encampment somewhere near Chicago
and broke-down somewhere between Chicago and Vegas (probably much closer to Vegas judging from the E3 trailer)

Yeah, in a world where you don't have to cross Raider, Brotherhood, Legion and who knows who else's territory.

You could do it in a couple of years I suppose, but you'd have to be pretty tough. I can imagine someone like Desmond being able to travel great distances in the Wasteland.

exactly... massive plot hole, and own-goal on Obsidian's side. No-one can get to Vegas yet they have Wasteland Survival Guides? SOMEONE got to Vegas.

Well, not exactly. Caravans could have taken the text to Central America or something. There they could've been printed, and distributed between several caravans all the way to the West Coast. Not to mention, there are some basic e-mail possibilities. Sarah Weintraub for example, has e-mail and received e-mails from happy customers.

In theory, the text could have been e-mailed to the West Coast, printed there, and distributed in NCR territory. It's not really a plot hole.

so Moira is going to email text back west to be printed? Nah, don't buy it. Selling it to people in her store is one thing, selling a pile to a caravan is another, but selling it to people back west? How are they going to pay her? Wire transfer? lol Of course, she had to get it printed, so there is a chance the printers could have sent the text back west without her knowing.

The problem with continent-wide email systems is... well, there isn't any contact between east and west. Is there? The Enclave didn't know about the destruction of Navarro, and if anyone would have good comm systems it would be them.

I just hope its not a BOS/Enclave member to many of these people running around.

i think some people are assuming, that because "the wasteland survival guide" has showed up in NV, the author, moira brown from FA3, isn't too far behind. i can see this causing rumors.

No one.....but my hope is on Gary? GARY!!

lol he died when i played it! his gun was good tho

Necropost D:<

Holy necrosis Lil Debbie.

This has been confirmed as not going to happen. So you'll just have to lived without a Fallout 3 character in New Vegas.

"Mages Guild?
Yeah we got some reports of Necromancy in a thread.
Err it's 'Fallout', 'Fallout: New Vegas DLC' and then 'Wasn't a character from Fallout 3 supposed to appear'.
Yeah. Keep doing a good job guys."

OK guys, cool it with the remarks.

The way I look at it is that if someone posts in an old thread with a genuine comment, it is not a problem as it's no different to starting a new thread. If someone just spams, bumps or answers a question that was sorted months ago in an old thread then I get grumpy. I am happy leaving this one.

I always thought they said a familiar face and that they meant yao guai in HH
