[QUOTE=Artifact;25327066]Fuck, I lost my preorder receipt![/QUOTE] Tell them your phone number if you don't have a license.

I've never bought an Elder Scrolls game/Fallout 3 on Steam before, but I plan to with New Vegas. Will mods still work okay though?

[QUOTE=stepat201;25338715]I've never bought an Elder Scrolls game/Fallout 3 on Steam before, but I plan to with New Vegas. Will mods still work okay though?[/QUOTE] They most likely will.

well the New Vegas GECK will be released at the same time as the game.

Why is this thread getting posts every hour, instead of every minute? There are tonnes of things to be talking about( Mods, WIPS, NV, heck, even the Diagonal running issue)

When New Vegas comes out it will be pretty busy. at least I hope it will.

What Diagonal running issue?

You move diagonally, but the character uses the forward animations

moon walking.

[QUOTE=UnidentifiedFlyingTard;25339064]moon walking.[/QUOTE] Takes good skills to pull it off.

[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;25303145]While I admit I may have bitched about the graphics a little too much, that is utter bullshit.[/QUOTE] -story was different -setting was different -items were different -monsters were different etc... What was similar?

[QUOTE=Earthen;25340048]-story was different -setting was different -items were different -monsters were different etc... What was similar?[/QUOTE] gameplay. things run up to you and attack until you kill them (although you can now use VATS to shoot things, too!) with no real AI to speak of. the "daily schedule AI" thing is still in effect. when you talk to an NPC, the camera zooms in on their face and you have conversations with them like in Oblivion (except there are slightly more varied choices and persuasion is not available). the buying-shit system is largely the same as Oblivion. the quest system is pretty much the same as Oblivion. damage and healing, same as Oblivion. the only thing different gameplay-wise is the fact that you can use guns as well as the few melee weapons in the game. hence, Oblivion with Guns.

It's actually a "proper" Oblivion with Guns. I mean I have played Oblivion with Guns and it sucks! Is it just me or is fallout tactics hard!

-snip- Double posts only happen on this thread WTF!

I just pre-ordered Vegas from Direct2Drive with a coupon code "iluvaction". Saved me 15% it did.

[QUOTE=Fkpuz Version 1;25341130]I just pre-ordered Vegas from Direct2Drive with a coupon code "iluvaction". Saved me 15% it did.[/QUOTE] oo thanks. So, how does D2D interact with Steam.

It doesn't.

[QUOTE=Novangel;25343450]It doesn't.[/QUOTE] yeah, it'd be weird for D2D to let its games interact with a direct competitor...

It will, I think, as FNV is a Steamworks game. Though it might only be the Retail versions...

All copies will need Steam.

and I'm ok with that.

The old Fallout group from 2009 still exists. [url]http://www.facepunch.com/group.php?groupid=284[/url]

Is New Vegas going to allow you to use your old character from Fallout 3?

[QUOTE=Xenomoose;25340622]Oblivion with Guns.[/QUOTE] How are you so sure Oblivion isn't just Fallout 3 with swords.

[QUOTE=Funcoot;25346880]Is New Vegas going to allow you to use your old character from Fallout 3?[/QUOTE] Well it isn't going to stop you making a character with the same physical and statistical attributes as your Fallout 3 character started with. [QUOTE=xpod1;25346920]How are you so sure Oblivion isn't just Fallout 3 with swords.[/QUOTE] Sure, why not. But Fallout 3 came after Oblivion and reused a stupid number of gameplay elements, not to mention the engine. Under the hood, it had more in common with the Elder Scrolls than Fallout.

You get the first winner of 2010 for taking a joke seriously.

[QUOTE=Mericet;25346968]Well it isn't going to stop you making a character with the same physical and statistical attributes as your Fallout 3 character started with..[/QUOTE] I thought there were rumors you could use your old character. :(

[QUOTE=Funcoot;25347396]I thought there were rumors you could use your old character. :([/QUOTE] They probably meant that you can make your character look like that one. I want to make a Gordon Freeman character (the character I always use when doing storyline) It's cool that you can have a trait that makes you wear glasses.
