Oh Bravo! Truly sir, your wit is astounding. Such respectful discontent, conveyed with such alluring clarity. And done so with great abandon to grammar and spelling, it's boggling why people won't pay attention to your future posts.

HmMmMmM well the original fallout games had random encounters and even FO3 did so i'm not sure what went wrong, it is interesting why they left em out.

they went to mw2 where you would randomly encounter someone not using one man army danger close n00btubes

The first few playthroughs I've experienced a few Legion assassins, but I'd run into them about 4-5 times and never see them again.

What I'd like to see is a place where Death Claws respawn, other than fighting them in the Thorn. A place dubbed "Death Claw promontory" they're supposed to respawn but I've yet to see it happen.

On my first playthrough I was lucky enough to have both NCR and The Legion send hit squads at me. It was a hilariously amazing fight lol (NCR won). But I've yet to have anymore encounters. I hope they take care of this problem in the patch..

Really , after the 1 time you play , you know where all enemys are , thats get half of the funny , you dont have reason to explore , you dont get by surprise , is really sad , so many good weapons , so many great mods and ammo ....

What about The Strip encounters? I get those often.

Other than that, I agree there isn't much in the Mojave.

NO. NO NO NO NO.

You deserve to be beaten, covered in pitch, set aflame, and tossed down a ravine for even thinking of bringing Cliffracers back. :verymad:

Yah well it is sad. Get use to the boring desert because thats all that you will see. Its sad really that they couldn't even implant those random encounters.

They may noy have bothered with random encounters this time, but neither I bothered with them in FO3.

For me, what really matters are the quests, things to actually do in the world, instead of wandering around for hours hoping to find ANY quest at all. This reay bothered me in FO3: so few quests outside the main plot.
That huge world with so little do that matterred, instead of searching for these "precious" random encounters that add nothing at all, IMO.

It is an RPG! RPGS must have quests! I never understood why Bethesda took this approach with FO3, since their prior game, Oblivion, has truckloads of quests.

New Vegas, on the other hand, feel a live world to me because everywhere you go there is some quest or another, and a good bunch of them are kind of interweaved in subtle ways. It makes me feel important because I am, you know, questing, actively doing things, instead of just looking for a random-spawn-that-may-or-may-not-appear-but-even-if-it-appear-will-add-nothing-at-all-to-the-game-world.
