the game looks, at absolute lowest settings, maybe very slightly harder to run than skyrim. there is virtually no way that those minimum required specs aren't inflated to loving utter hell.

I can't give hard numbers but I'd say it is somewhere around 10% at 10 Luck/1INT. If it procs on a quest rewards you can gain two levels in one go pretty easily.

In literally every single fallout game perks that level you up faster have been a huge waste so it'll probably be that.

I wonder if you can cheese this by quicksaving before turning in a quest. Sounds super tedious but I'm sure a lot of people will do it if it's possible, especially considering how effective that would be. Same with quicksaving before charisma checks, which are now apparently %-based for some unfathomable reason.

I can't promise it but I think you'd need to gain some other form of EXP before trying again to get it to reroll. I didn't test for long because loading time.

Oh god, why? What is the point of making a speech check based on a die roll in a world where quicksaving exists? It just adds tedium.

I don't think that'll be the case this time, since there's no level cap. The bonus XP perks (or even more hilariously, the "gain a level" perk) in 3/NV were terrible because you were only ever going to get so many perks, so by the time you hit the level cap it was a wasted slot. With no upper limit on how many perks you can end up with, there's value to a perk that gets you more perks faster.

I would say it would probably be wise to wait until a couple hours after release to see user benchmarks with similar hardware before you buy the game and certainly before you buy any new hardware

Knowing that SPECIAL-based dialog checks are now based on a die roll really makes me devalue Charisma and Intelligence as stats on their own. Obviously Intelligence has some neat perks associated with it, but Charisma's just going to earn me the right to get pissed off when I fail a Charisma check that I theoretically had enough Charisma to qualify for.

To be fair, video games doing persuasion as a purely binary thing that is as simple as picking the [SPEECH] option from a list is obviously kind of boring and lovely anyway, but hey. I always thought the best way to do it in a Bethesda-style game would be to have speech/Charisma add new options to the dialog but not flag them as speech checks, so it's still up to the player to recognize that those are the better options. Probably not possible now that we can only ever have four options at each dialog choice.

If it bothers you, I'm sure someone will find a way to mod out random chance charisma checks and make them based on dialogue choices.

There were a bunch of Giant Rad scorpions on the way south, past Primm. They were off the road, but you could definitely see them. Most were off to the far side, near the map border, but a couple were in the salt flat. I suspect they were slapped in there to encourage the player to not get side tracked, but stick to the road and -you know- actually track down the guy who shot you in the head. It works on me, at least.

Is there a map that shows how the level of encountered creatures/people go for New Vegas, like the one shown for 4? I rather liked the design of New Vegas making you take the long way to explore it.
