Forum:What do you want from New Vegas?

Fallout fans over the world reveled in joy when it was revealed earlier this week that a new Fallout game, New Vegas, is being developed by Obsidian Entertainment, the developers of Fallut 2 and KOTOR 2. It is said that the release date is sometime in 2010.

I'll just start off by doing some complementary cheering: HUZZAH!!!

However, what do you expect this game to feature?

Since Vegas is involved, I think gambling is an aspect. Maybe as a skill, maybe as an activity. I am hoping for new, not-so-generic weapons (AK-112 sounds much better than Assault Rifle) and more skills and abilities would be cool, too. AngryNorwegianDude 06:12, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

What do I want from New Vegas? A game that will stop the bitching from the Fallout 1 and 2 fanboys.

In all seriousness, though, I'll take whatever they give us. Hopefully, it will stop the bitching. Maybe it will even stop the bitching from the Fallout 1 and 2 fanboys. Did I mention that I want the Fallout 1 and 2 fanboys to stop bitching?--71.162.16.245 19:27, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

The same things I want from Vegas now. Cheap booze, loose slots, looser women, endless food that may or may not poison you and plenty of fireworks. But you know...nukified.--JiNX Bloodfang 19:53, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Basicly F3 but with more quests and dark history like F2. 81.234.140.17 22:23, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

I'd be happy to find a drunken Augustus Atumun in the New Vegas Streets, but you know, no sequel. I could imagine something similar to the FO2 New Reno Quests, Mafia Wars and all that stuff - and maybe there are a yet-to-be-numbered Vaults around, and you have to scavenge them to support one of the Families with superior technology. 77.25.212.1 22:59, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Hopefully a trip to "Area 51", which after all is not far away from Las Vegas. Gunner Bill 14:07, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

A change in the ragdoll physics so that an explosion will send stuff flying, regardless of whether it dies or not. It pissed me off so much when a car landed on Bryan Wilks' head, & he was still standing.

I want to see my house, and have my childrens childrens childrens childrens childrens childrens childrens kids(varying on what year the game is set on) be a sort of leader in my housing complex, that'd be sweet. I WANT A VERY HIGH CALIBER SNIPER RIFLE .50 for example, oh and I want the Stratosphere and the Wynn to be bases of the BOS that I can share.

No superweapons or skantily clad showgirl ghouls here, but there are a few things that I would like addressed in the new chapter. One is more believable rubble piles. I, for the life of me, could not understand why I could scale 9/10ths of a rubble pile only to be stopped by a stand of barbed wire or 12" chunk of concrete. In reality if I was able to get over that much crud I would be able to get over the top too. I understand why the game didn't allow it, but it would have been easier to swallow if I was blocked by a wall of chunks. Second is realism. With aerial views, sat pics and maps of Vegas, the designers should know not to put the Bellagio next to the Stratosphere. I was kinda perturbed to see in FO3, the White House in what amounts to the neighboring position of Fords Theater!! Next, Vehicles, Vehicles, Vehicles!!! I know that in FO3 the only operational vehicles were the vertibirds yet there's a reference to a bug where you can stand right next to one, but not do anything with it. I think it'd be better if you could pilot one after discovering all the locations. Fast Travel is great but heli travel would also be a plus. Lastly, I know the whole concept of FO3 is a guy trying to find his dad, then to carry on his work but how the H-E- double hockey sticks did he learn how to operate a fat man?!?! No training, just picked it up and nuked a behemoth. In short, a second gen science type How many of you know that the real life RPG-7 has a dual trigger system. Not many I'd wager. Maybe the protagonist in FO4 would be a regular everyday run of the mill National Guardsman trained in the weapons encountered but not very high on the food chain. Or, the kid of a trader like Flak. At the very least he could be a Vault dweller who's GOAT said he should be Security then start game after he's been on the job for awhile.

I would the environment to be a Rat Pack version of Vegas, not an apocalyptic view of our modern one. Some classic mobster stuff. Maybe a little bit of Sinatra or Dean Martin on your Pip-Boy Radio. This would better convey the whole 40's, 50's, and 60's motif. MOST IMPORTANTLY: A SECTION OF THE DESERT THAT HAS BEEN TURNED INTO GLASS FROM NUCLEAR BOMBING!!!! Can that even happen?
