i just want to see xaveir renegade angel...

I wish that Ian would make an appereance in NV. Before anyone starts to rant how Ian died in Necropolis read this http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Ian

If he ain't there i'm gonna mod him in, after a few beers and high enough speech skill for PC he will spill the beans and tell about the past.

Ian would be long since dead by the time of New Vegas.

Told you to read the wikiarticle before starting to rant...

EDIT:

"In the Fallout 2 Restoration Pack, Ian is indeed located in the Vault City courtyard. It is here that the Chosen One meets him whilst attempting to negotiate a peaceful settlement between the city's government and the inhabitants of a nearby village. Whilst originally mistaking the Chosen One for the Vault Dweller, he soon realizes his mistake, and provides the player with information to further his quest. When pressed about his supposed death at the hands of super mutants, the player learns that in an attempt to shake off any enemies he had made in his battle against the Master, Ian told the Vault Dweller to tell the tale that he had died in a "blaze of glory". As for the issue of Ian's apparent longevity, he admits to the Chosen One that he himself is not sure, but suggests that the high exposure to radiation at The Glow is probably the reason. "

Turn-based.

There's already so much from the originals going to be in New Vegas but I can think of a few things I would like to see.

The Restoration Project is a mod based off of cut content, or content that the developers planned but decided not to include in the game. It's no more canon than Van Buren is. Less so actually since it was developed by a fan and only loosely based off of developer ideas.

And exactly how this prevents Obsidian to make it canon that Ian is still around due some mutation he went through in the Glow?

It doesn't, it's just highly unlikely since he is currently recognized as dead.

No thank you, I like the style we have now.

Okay I should probably have phrased it better: Optional Turn-Based Mode.

You sort of have that already, it's called VATS

The one thing I left out of my list because I know it isn't happening.

With the time Obs was given, I'd rather them to flesh out quests and existing gameplay mechanics as they've done than create a halfassed new one. Maybe Beth will be gracious enough to give Obs a possibility to create a new one with it. I mean, there is a market for it. :hope:

Descriptions for items.

:stare:
No.


Hopefully.

Ok then I agree with that.

Hopefully, yeah.

Even if it was a half budget game, if it was given enough time, it would likely be better than anything on the market at the moment. I kinda feel bad that that it's just a wishfeel.

In all honesty I was dubious when Fallout 3 was announced as 3D and non turn based. But on reflection after I had tried it, I was pleasantly surprised and think that VATS is the best compromise we could have ever expected. Turn based just would never have worked with the 3D and FPS elements of Fallout 3 IMO.

We'll just have to wait until gaming is "uncool" again and then Studios might actually break the pattern to let some creative games out.


Nah It wouldn't have worked with the FPS elements but that it's 3D has nothing to do with it.
But yeah, as a complete game-mode, not something like VATS that one can just turn on and off whenever the player feels like it.

I agree, and the market isn't as small as some folks believe. First person shooters are the big thing right now, and publishers believe that a FPS/RPG will net them more profit than a turn based RPG. Whether or not this is true I don't think anyone could really say since there's way too many variables that can't be anolyzed at the moment, it may very well be, but publishers are too scared to take a risk and try developing a modern mainstream turn based RPG to experiment. It would be nice to see a publisher willing to take such a chance, but I'm not holding my breath.

There's just not enough desire to take risks and think outside of the box in the modern video game industry, and I think that's the biggest problem.

Why does it have to "uncool"? I know know there is an FPS [censored]storm going on, but does anyone think about longer term products? I mean people are still raving about and buying games like PS:T, BG, Fallout, VtMB after 10 years. How many people will buy Fallout 3 after 10 years? None, I tell you: none.



Agreed.

Hmm, should've rephrased that as well... I'm a little dazed right now and can't put my words right. (Needs moar coffee!)
But I think Talonfire has already said parts what I wanted to say. (I really need to clear my head when on the forums.)

I read it and agreed with it. But it didn't really answer the question (not that I'd wait a definite reply from you, as it was a general question).

It's possible in the FO3 engine. Someone made the whole of FO3 turnbased.

It's a mod aptly named: Finally Turn-Based

Some might, but I agree to an extent. It seems like many folks are quick to forget about Fallout 3 in favor of New Vegas just because it's newer, and it's only been two years since Fallout 3's initial release. Ideally you should still want to revisit or invest in a game a decade or so down the line, that's what separates classics from a game that is simply average regardless of its "success".
