You all played New Vegas wrong. I went Yes Man until I killed him, usurped his robot army, hosed up the Legion and told the NCR to gtfo because I run New Vegas now edit: oh wait i missed like a million posts Big Coffin Hunter fucked around with this message at 18:23 on May 8, 2018 |

new vegas was also the first video game i can remember that had good, worthwhile dlc that i didn't feel ripped off buying. dead money annoys me for taking your equipment away, but it is otherwise great. honest hearts is one of my favorite dlc's for any game, love the writing and story being told, and it is actually fun to go through. i found old world blues mildly boring gameplay-wise, but it was a fun story with a good concept and performances to keep it interesting. lonesome road might actually be my least favorite, just because it was unsatisfying to me as a true addition to the main story, but it was still fun to play through. new vegas was very good.

I'm definitely going to watch all of it next time I get around to binge watching. I don't think I've binge-watched anything since I did it with season one of Fargo back in the fall.

I haven’t been able to play New Vegas properly due to my phobia of giant insects, particularly ants. I blame the queen ant that flew up and scared the poo poo outta me as a kid for that. Oddly enough, I’m cool with giant spiders. Probably because they eat giant insects.

I felt completely exhausted all day yesterday, called out of work today because I literally couldn't get out of bed, and have slept for 18 of the past 24 hours. I think being surrounded by death for the past 3 weeks finally caught up to me.

New Vegas was very good and I enjoyed it + all expansions, at least until my game started making GBS threads itself due to enormous save files or whatever. Turns out trying to do all of the things when you're on PS3 is not a good idea. Dead Money felt like an entirely different game, but still a good game. It did a good job of presenting its message (despite maybe beating you over the head with it a little hard), and at the same time like any other TES or New Fallout game, my desire to loot ALL OF THE THINGS made it fun to run out with as much loot as possible, basically flipping the bird at the message. I really liked the writing in Honest Hearts but I didn't love the gameplay/setting that much. Joshua Graham goes a long way towards making that a good expansion, along with the survivalist journals. It also starts the trend of people mentioning Ulysses.

Fallout 4 was great, but also disappointing. It lacked the roleplaying and strong characterization of the other games, yet I still spent 100 hours on it. Question about New Vegas: Was there a quest line that led to you killing Caesar? I found his camp while exploring once and kinda slaughtered the lot of them, starting with him. Always wondered if there was an official plot line to lead you to that point.

There's a part of the main quest that basically sends you to meet the leaders of the factions and you can kill him if you want (i do) the best part of fallout 4 is completely ignoring the dumb plot and base-building busywork and wandering the commonwealth

One of the neat things I found later on in life that relates to New Vegas is how in OWB, Boros is talking about how nice and docile the Cazadors are which makes sense because in real life actual Tarantula Hawk Wasps are fairly docile and will even all you to hold them (I wouldn't recommend it though since their sting is the 2nd most painful in the world)

bethesda doesn't need to hire obsidian's writers. they should hire the great writers who have passed through obsidian and moved onto higher paying jobs because they own. Steal away people like John Gonzalez, George Ziets and maybe even Avellone if you can isolate him from everyone else. And bring back Michael Kirkbride. Let all these people write what they want. Game saved
