Pwnstar posted:Ah yes so Obsidian did everything that made the game good, Bethesda did everything that made the game bad.I accept your position. I mean, even if using poo poo Bethesda made only made New Vegas crappier (which I don't fully agree with, but whatever), that's still a hell of a lot of poo poo that made the game actually feasible to produce, even if you view that all as just cutting corners. I guess based on peoples reactions it came off like I was defending Bethesda or attacking Obsidian or something. I wasn't. I was just pointing out that Obsidian didn't exactly build New Vegas from the ground up.

I mean, obviously Bethesda owns the IP and had a heavy say in what the game was going to be, but I'm pretty sure they didn't veto many, if any, design decisions.

Bethesda's company policy of having an ever progressing timeline for their personally owned IP's precluding Obsidian from making a game set in the past (which isn't even confirmed as far as I know) during early development talks is a far sight different, and carries a lot of different implications from the idea that Bethesda personally came in and vetoed Obsidian's design decisions. 'Setting and timeline' is a conceptual concern at the stage we're talking about, not a design one.

Kalos posted:I don't know if it ever gets mentioned in the main games, but in the original unrleased Fallout 3 Denver was supposed to be a city completely overrun with wild dogs. Salvagers there would maintain a series of bridges between rooftops and upper floors. So clearly dogs are doing just fine after the apocalypse. Ulysses has a throwaway reference to packs of Denver hounds.

I finally got OWB working and holy poo poo it's my favourite DLC of them all so far (just starting Lonesome Road then I'll have completed all of them). Boros is loving amazing, someone compared him to an old sci-fi narrator and that's perfect. I mostly went through it Salt-Upon-Wounds fisting everyone to death, why have I not built an Unarmed/Melee bruiser yet? Punch robots in the face erryday.

I really liked the Proton Axe, but the Superheated Saturnite Fist is just the best thing, I mean the best thing. Also Oh Baby! is still my favorite melee weapon, even with the fist existing. Sometimes punching someone's head off isn't as exciting as bashing them into pieces. Edit: PS Search hard enough and you'll find the Protonic Inversal Axe, which is even more fun and my go-to against robots.

It's a little less reactive than a mouse and keyboard, but other than that it works great. Edit: Qwezz posted:put me also down as buying the ultimate edition because of the steam summer sale. I loved all of them, though they're a bit divisive-a lot of people disliked Dead Money in particular (Though it's probably my second favorite behind OWB.) They're all well worth the price however, especially on sale. Acebuckeye13 fucked around with this message at 18:45 on Jul 16, 2012 |

Man, I can't wait till I get the realistic experience of sitting in the back of the Gun Runners factory, a true commute to work experience. "Each day I walk through from my humble Freeside abode, past the masses of homeless out to the compound. I stick around at the gate for a minute or two and have a chat with the guards - that Dave on security detail is a real wild card, some of the things he comes out with - then walk on in to my workbench, where I sit and work for eight hours straight. Then I go home so I can do it all again the next day! My life could never be better."
