Forum:Expectations are high

So yeah, everybody is awaiting new vegas and there are loads of new ideas of what they will be doing, who they will be, what stats and gear everybody will have...

the thing is, we have very high expectations for this game, we await this game to be similar to Fallout 3: diversity of places, landscapes, quests, a lot of dialogue, and as a PC user, a lot of customization options, as well as debug console and mods.

Obsidian Entertainment must only limit one of the aspects that made fallout 3 such a great game to start a "Fallout 3 was much better" trend in the whole forums/wikias/fansites, I know this from my experience in SC2 where Battle.net just went some steps backwards.

Imagine that FO:NV doesn't have a console, not only you're screwed if a NPC disappears but you'll also have to wait for the developers to release a patch to fix this problem, instead of just typing a player.placeatme command that you can't, cause there is no console.(PC)

Imagine there's no option to remap keys (PC)

Imagine you MUST connect to internet in order to be able to play a single player game, DRM.(ALL)

Imagine mods are not permitted, and only officially accepted mods can be implemented on the game, imagine somebody makes a mod that lets you obtain collector's edition exclusive items and then the developers decide that this mod should not be allowed to make the ingame items exclusive make more ppl buy the collector's edition.(PC)

Imagine 3rd person camera cannot get farther than certain small distance and you cannot see the enterity of your character. (ALL)

Ypu see, there are so many ways to easily screw this game, and there is only one way to make it right. I can only have faith the developers are sane and that they will do right.

PS: many of you wouldn't really care if these things are done, as you would just play nonetheless, but for me these are essential features that made FO3 a great game.

As long as you can mod the game, virtually any other problem you may have with it can be fixed. Also, we already know the details of the DRM. You need active internet to install with steam, but not to play after that. Could be better, could be worse.

All of the things you listed are wrong. New Vegas IS the game we expected... --Silent.Killa78 08:09, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm wrong but I swear I read somewhere one of the Devs was boasting how in F:NV that there will be much better support for modders in terms of the flexibility and features of the GECK. And the fact that not having a console in a game is utter madness.

I wouldn't worry at all, the Fallout series is known for its awesome modding community. ViperXeon 09:25, October 18, 2010 (UTC)

I really hope you're right guys, I am very concerned after experiences with Starcraft II Wertoret 11:24, October 18, 2010 (UTC)

I recall on Halo commercial that absolutely blew me away in all aspects and got me into a childish joy, So ALL I HAVE TO SAY TO YOU IS.... Believe. Exosion

How's it one day after release? not many mods we say... looking forward for your opinion Wertoret 17:18, October 19, 2010 (UTC)
