Forum:Custom Weapons

Hey guys, I was wondering wheather or not Obsidian was going to include custom weapons and schematics in New Vegas. And I'm not talking about the same ones from Fallout 3, because even though they were cool, that would be lame and lazy on Obsidians part. Any information is appreciated.

 * Hard to say. Maybe a couple. But considering you can mod your own weapons now I think many will be playing with thier improved toys than a schematic weapon. But that's my opinion.

 * One of the big selling points of Van Buren was the crafting system. It'd be hard to not include some of that in New Vegas. In addition, there's a Workbench in the first screenshot of the Companion wheel. Nitty Tok. 04:19, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Then it looks like we will have some schematic weapons as you pointed out. But that's hardly a crafting system. All it will let you do is create from the schematics that you have found/bought/were rewarded. There is no diversion from those plans. So unless it allows you to take random parts of guns and deteris you have on you and create your own unique weapons/armor, I'd hardly call it a crafting system. Although if you can mod those as well, increasing thier effectiveness, It will be very interesting indeed. Something to hope for.

 * It's a crafting system. You can't just randomly put stuff together and spontaneously generate items. No game works like that. Even a game like Borderlands that has a huge library of parts to randomly generate items with, those parts already exist in the game's files, and the game just assembles them whenever it gives you a new gun. It's just easier to do it the way Fallout 3 did it, so that's likely what Obsidian will do. It's still a crafting system. You are using random junk to CRAFT items. With the item customization system, however, we'll probably be able to mod the schematic weapons, as well, like adding a scope to the Dart Gun, or something. -Schneidend 19:41, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * i hope we get to see much more custom weapon building in new vegas,the meagre 8 we got in fallout 3 was really,in my opinion,quite pathetic,considering the amount of pointless junk you got in it,they had a couple of good ideas that didnt make it into the game,but i think that maybe you should be able to craft a weapon for each weapon catagory,and maybe you have to have a certain skill value in that catagory to make it,i think this would make the game much better,and i also like the idea of walking around with a small fridge on your back full of ammo with a gun made of junk,;) 86.170.40.80 23:13, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
