Forum:Fallout 3 new vegas teaser

i watched the teaser trailer 10mins ago and the first thing i noticed about that soldier standing on the ridge was what was written on his flag: Californian republic

i saw the lights were all on in Las Vegas, so maybe it hasn't been hit by bombs, however California probably had, so perhaps the people of Californa will try to take Las Vegas as their's. perhaps your character comes from California too, i read the description of the game bethesda gave us:-

"Experience all the sights and sounds of fabulous New Vegas, brought to you by Vault-Tec, America's First Choice in Post Nuclear Simulation. Explore the treacherous wastes of the Great Southwest from the safety and comfort of your very own vault: Meet new people, confront terrifying creatures, and arm yourself with the latest high-tech weaponry as you make a name for yourself on a thrilling new journey across the Mojave wasteland. A word of warning, however - while Vault-Tec engineers have prepared for every contingency,* in Vegas, fortunes can change in an instant. Enjoy your stay"

the fact that you are in a vault using a simulation makes it likely that the city is in fact destroyed but in the simulation it isnt. or you control something like an avatar (kinda like in that film avatar)

The soldier definatly looked 'evilish' however i thought that about the fallout 3 teaser trailer, where there was someone from the brotherhood looking 'evilish'. Perhaps it will be a civil war between New Vegas and Old California, (witha flag like they had, they probably were bombed.) The previous unsigned comment was made by Supersoviet.

I don´t think the whole game would be a simulation maybe a quest will say that you have to go inside a simulator pod and there you will the simulation begins for so long til you have completed the quest in the simulation like in Tranquility Lane or Operation: Anchorage.
 * So on a simulation scale, would New Vegas rank closer to Tranquility Lane or Operation: Anchorage?    phoenix       txt      data    06:31, March 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * The group is NCR (New California Republic). I doub't they are there to make New Vegas theirs. More likely than not they are there to help rebuild New Vegas to a pre-war infrastructure and help the growth of New Vegas. The solider is a NCR Ranger i believe. Their role is unknown as of yet, but they will definately be fighting against the Slavers of Ceaser's Legion. As for the power still being on in New Vegas, unlike other major cities New Vegas wasn't directly hit by the nukes. As of now it isn't known why. But because of that and the fact the Hoover Dam was also left relatively unharmed and working means that New Vegas has power that other parts of the wasteland don't have. I hope this helps.

 * I bet that Vegas wasn't hit because the casinos had bribed everyone beforehand to not nuke Vegas directly.--Master of cheeZ 20:59, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

On the whole simulation thing above: "Post Nuclear Simulation" is a phrase commonly featured in the ads for the Fallout 3, and a tagline on the Fallout section of Bethesda's website, refering to the player on their game console playing a simulation of a post-apocalyptic wasteland, not the player character entering a simulator of the titular location. So I'm 99.9% sure New Vegas won't start off like Tranquility Lane, get what I'm saying? Butcher Pete 00:42, March 8, 2010 (UTC)
