They're not nice people, Kay, and in the Wasteland sometimes you have to take the law into your own hands. There's no shame in pride in a job well done!
Actually you worked a lot harder to do the right thing than I did when I was with Cass. As soon as we figured out who was behind it all we went into both places guns blazing and killed everything in sight. To be honest, until Bulletstorm, I think I enjoyed killing things in New Vegas more than almost any other game. There is something disturbingly satisfying about it.

Just started Dead Island last night. Nice to be back in New Vegas, dog collar and all. This DLC seems to be lacking a certain visual panache but it's fun right off the bat. Fun and annoying. I killed my first foe, something called a Ghost Hunter which was some guy in armor all glowing. I killed him, then ran up to him and, no...he was only knocked out. I had to administer a head shot to loot the body. That gave me pause for a minute. While I had no problem shooting the guy in back from across a courtyard, killing him while he was unconscious wasn't so automatic. I kept my level, all my skills etc. but relinquished all my items. While I'm looking forward to playing this one, I wish they would come up with something more novel than just taking all my toys and making me find new ones. Also I have so many pts. into SPEECH but wonder if I'm even going to need it. Anway, it's nice to be back.
Kay, I finally went back with Cass and took out the Van Graffs. I was going to let them be for pragmatic reasons but finally, like you, lost it with them. I am definitely no Barack Obama, he of the cool head and middle way. [Image Can Not Be Found]

Did you mean Dead Money, Scout? Either way, I read this today:
According to sources at Bethesda, four more DLC packs are in
production, with further two in consideration; a total of eight DLCs are
planned for New Vegas.
The possible names of three DLC packs ("Honest Hearts", "Lonesome
Road", and "Old World Blues") have been found in the in-game text files.

Dead Money. Yup. Though Dead Island might be more apropo than you might think. As much a Freudian slip as a brain fart.
Eight DLCs? No way I'm playing that many. I think. I'm pretty sure. Well maybe. [Image Can Not Be Found]
Still wandering around trying to put together my party. Just found the first one. A mad mutant. Sort of reminds me of Fawkes from Fallout 3. Fawkes so rock. "Ha, ha. You lose!"
Off to find the second party member.

Heck, I got most of a year out of F3 base+DLC then mods. $75 or so bucks total, with the mods for free. I'd pay $100 for a whopper GOTY with 8 DLC. Then there'd be the modding!! Hell, that could last for the rest of my life - well, maybe 18 months. Such a deal. [Image Can Not Be Found]

Spike, I think you probably got the best gaming deal ever with your Fallout 3 experience. A year of fun for $75? That's hard to beat!

No shit. And if I get the GOTY with 8, count 'em, 8, DLC, I'll consider THAT the best gaming bargain of the century.
The downside has been that I've been trying to play some of my pile of adventure games in the last few months, and not a one of them has gripped me. Most have been ho-hum at best. Talk about spoiled. I've even been wishing for keyboard controls for a better playing experience. How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm.... [Image Can Not Be Found]

Is Beth going to release all 8 DLC and main game at once?

No way to know for sure, but if they follow the F3 model, the DLC will be released one at a time (with Dead Money, just released for PC, being the 1st), then all will be included in the GOTY edition. Eight DLC really sounds like a lot of extra content, so I'll believe that when I see it.
But having said that, I just posted in Kenneth: "I'm weak..." And very weak I turned out to be. [Image Can Not Be Found]

That's what I meant. I have my doubts they'll bundle all 8 DLCs into one package. Maybe more like 4 in the GOTY and a Final Four or some such. That IS a lot of content. Unless they suddenly decide they want to release FO4 and want all the New Vegas stuff out the door.

Ooooh! F4...now that might just be something else to look forward to. What with all the sales, not to mention the praise and awards, of the previous games in the series, F4 might just show up in a couple of years. By then, however, I'll bet I'll need a new computer. Incentive. Incentive is good.

I do like the way some characters have their little repeated phrases that sum up their attitude. Boone in New Vegas always says, "Your mine" just as he pulls the trigger and takes someone out.

I am closing into the end of this game. I am either getting supporters (the Boomers) or neutralizing others (Great Khans) so I am moving toward the end. But as I always do...... slowly, slowly, slowly. The nice thing about being a real slow player is that games last so long.
That is where I am now. Kay

Finally finished Fallout New Vegas on the NCR track. I thought it was a terrific game and superior to Fallout 3. I liked having a big selection of companions to choose among depending on what I was up to at the time. It was also interesting having a number of options of what faction to go with and what groups to support and which to make enemies. One thing that I discovered part way through was speech is really impotant and having a high speech skill solved a whole lot of problems more easily than fighting.
I think I will keep New Vegas loaded on my computer and try some other paths through sometime in the future. There are still many places I have not yet found.
But for now, I am going to give STALKER a try although given how hard I have heard it is, I may not get far. But I hope I can get an idea of what it is like since I have read so much about it on Tap Repeatedly.

Glad to see you enjoyed New Vegas, Kay! I think most people here are in agreement in liking it better than Fallout 3.
I will revisit several times in the future, I know that for certain. I hope with less crashing.

Congrats on finishing a great game, kay. I got a lot of satisfaction from New Vegas. It's exploration freak heaven.

Well done, Kay! Glad you enjoyed it. It's a great game.

Now that I can enjoy the awesomeness of FO:NV, I can finally read this thread! I'll tread careful though, and only read a little, to avoid spoilers.
I'm about level 12 at the moment (I bought the game about two days ago), and I've just earned enough money to go into the Strip - or I can alternately see The King to get in. I'm jus trawling through Vault 22 at the moment, finding out the secret of the killer plants. I'm told there's also someone down here I need to find and rescue, but I haven't found her yet.
I did garner a small amount of satisfaction in robbing the Silver Rush blind - not for a quest, but just because I could! Smarmy bastards...
Anyway, on to reading what you guys got up to!

Hellooooo, Vegas! After almost seven months in fantasy lands shooting fireballs, I'm comin' back.
Actually, it's been only two weeks since I was in 21st century Vegas but I forgot to pack ammo. [Image Can Not Be Found]
This weekend the last save on the Lake computer put me in Nipton but I fuzzily recalled standing in a dino mouth asking Boone to be my companion. Whew, this computer (at home) has me right where I'm supposed to be in Novac.
Oh, how I hate my Pip-Boy. Whoever decided that TAB plus multi-clicking to see menus & maps was a good thing?
Still haven't played Two Worlds II. Thanks to Pokey I got a strategy guide for $5 but it only arrived recently. After Fallout New Vegas' grit & grime, I'll return to wielding magic in TW II & The Witcher II. [Image Can Not Be Found]

Welcome Yapette.............
........ to the wonderful world of Fallout: New Vegas. Actually it isn't such a wonderful world but in comparison to the world of S.T.A.L.K.E.R it seems like paradise. Every once in a while after a brutal session with STALKER, I go back to Fallout: New Vegas just to see how normal life can be. There are many places to go and many things to do and they don't all involve killing or dying. Enjoy. Tell us about your adventures. Kay
