Mx Amber Alex (she/it)<p>Omg I just had a brilliant idea for a trait I could mod into New Vegas.</p><p>For the uninitiated, traits in Fallout: New Vegas confer an advantage to your character, but at the expense of a disadvantage to go with it. I.e. "Small Frame" gives you more agility, but makes your limbs more prone to damage, and "Four Eyes" decreases your perception, but increases it if you wear glasses. They're great for themed character builds.</p><p>Okay, so my idea:</p><blockquote><p><strong>With A Face Like This?</strong></p><p><em>Your honest smile and innocent eyes endear you to people all over the wasteland. However, hardened warriors dismiss you as an inexperienced amateur.</em></p><p>Speech checks against characters with good karma are eased by 5–10 points.<br>Speech checks against characters with evil karma are toughened by 5–10 points.</p></blockquote><p>Any thoughts?</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/FalloutNewVegas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FalloutNewVegas</span></a></p>

Mx Amber Alex (she/it)<p>That was an incredibly anticlimactic final quest, btw. It's supposed to be the big showdown, the second battle for Hoover Dam, the mighty NCR, closest to a nation state around here, against Caesar's Legion, a terrifying fascist militia... and it consisted of me shooting 20 legionnaires and that was it.</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/FalloutNewVegas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FalloutNewVegas</span></a></p>
Mx Amber Alex (she/it)<p>I found out that you can't play Fallout New Vegas any more after you finish the main quest (meaning: no free roam, no side quests), saved and begrudgingly started the last main quest... and the game crashed just as I'm about to face the final boss.</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/FalloutNewVegas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FalloutNewVegas</span></a></p>

Mx Amber Alex (she/it)<p>"Caesar": Hey I know you're an enemy of my legion but I forgive you, can you do this thing for me?</p><p>Me, lying through my teeth: Sure.</p><p>Caesar when his legion keeps attacking me at every turn and sending hitmen after me and I have to kill them in obvious self-defence: You monster! I declare you an enemy forevermore!</p><p>????</p><p>Not that I was planning on siding with him, but I was hoping to milk him for all his rewards (i.e. for killing House, which I intended to do anyway) before I got rid of him…</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/FalloutNewVegas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FalloutNewVegas</span></a></p>
Mx Amber Alex (she/it)<p>I was 16 hours of game time old when I found out Cass throws away guns that break.</p><p>Not keep.<br>Not repair.<br>Not switch to another.</p><p>THROWS. AWAY.</p><p>And here I was wondering where that plasma rifle I had invested $2000 of upgrades into went 😭 😭 </p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/FalloutNewVegas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FalloutNewVegas</span></a></p>

Mx Amber Alex (she/it)<p>...I died while the fucking kill cam ran so I couldn't use a stimpak.</p><p>The killcams are nice, but NV draws them out about four times as long as 3 did, and there's no way to change that except turn them off entirely. jfc</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/FalloutNewVegas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FalloutNewVegas</span></a></p>
Mx Amber Alex (she/it)<p>I'm level 14 now and I <em>still</em> can't get past the deathclaws and ...bee thingies in Goodsprings?? Even though I'm rocking armor, military-grade weapons, and whatnot??</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/FalloutNewVegas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FalloutNewVegas</span></a></p>
Mx Amber Alex (she/it)<p>Soooo.... Caesar sent his puppyboy to forgive me, and then later I killed said messenger and his troops in Nipton and now I'm hated by the Legion... does this mean I won't get to meet Caesar now? Is there any way to regain favour with them long enough to meet the dude?</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/FalloutNewVegas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FalloutNewVegas</span></a></p>

Mx Amber Alex (she/it)<p>Oh yeah, another hilarious failure of the game's anticipation that I might shortcut to Vegas?</p><p>You can gather clues about Benny along the way, which you can then present to Swank, the Tops Casino manager. If you do, he'll realise what a jerk Benny was; if you don't, he'll mourn him when he's gone.</p><p>Well, if you just waltz into Vegas and talk to Benny and get him to tell you his plan, there's no way for you to tell this to Swank <em>after</em> Benny's death. Also, somehow shooting Benny in the presidential suite that everyone saw us walk into together <em>doesn't</em> turn the entire place hostile (I just killed the chairman of the chairmen ffs!), yet somehow word of Benny's death <em>does</em> immediately reach Swank at the front desk?</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/FalloutNewVegas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FalloutNewVegas</span></a></p>
Mx Amber Alex (she/it)<p>So far, how does NV tally up against 3?</p><p>Things NV does better:</p><ul><li>setting (space western just scratches my itches better than green-tinted ruins)</li><li>dialog system and skill checks (I love that "Speech %" isn't the only requirement)</li><li>queer people (3 had two gay couples, NV has gay companions <em>and</em> lets you be gay or bisexual!)</li><li>it has Rene Auberjonois in it</li><li>intro</li><li>traits 🥺 </li><li>super mutants</li><li>general story is just more my thing</li><li>player freedom (less mandatory nonsense that I can't opt out of and fewer characters (none so far?) that can't be killed for nonsense plot reasons</li><li>guns look better (models/animations/sounds)</li><li>I can finally tab out of the game reliably (3 always crashed when I did that)</li></ul><p>Things 3 does better:</p><ul><li>gun gameplay (no 3000 kinds of ammunition for 5000 guns)</li><li>mouse movement (NV's mouse is way too fast in menus (i.e. Pip-Boy) and way too mushy in camera</li><li>food (heals instantly, no over-time nonsense)</li><li>skill books (I detest skill magazines with temporary boosts in NV, my inventory is full of them and I've never (once) needed them)</li><li>bobbleheads (exploring and finding them is just so much more fun than buying a (limited) amount of expensive implants from a wasteland doctor, not to mention that "this doctor whose hospital is dirty enough to get tetanus thrice can develop and safely implant machinery that increases your stats" is only marginally less implausible than "this funko pop increases your stats")</li></ul><p>So overall New Vegas wins on the big important concepts, but for the most part, 3 feels better in day-to-day gameplay. Still a NV win, but with a smaller margin than could have been.</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Fallout3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fallout3</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/FalloutNewVegas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FalloutNewVegas</span></a></p>
Mx Amber Alex (she/it)<p>LMFAO because I skipped most of the first act by sneaking my way to Vegas early, this Legion dude Vulpes Inculta just walked up to me outside the casino and granted me a pardon from Caesar so I can meet him.</p><p>I haven't even <em>gotten</em> to perpetrate any crimes against the Legion (including killing that dude, yes I watched Hbomb's New Vegas video I'm spoilered to hell) and now I've wasted my one pardon early, without any choice in the matter?</p><p>And right after, an NCR messenger intercepted me and told me <em>his</em> boss would <em>also</em> like to see me! And I get that this is supposed to happen after you've fought, talked, and achieved your way around the southern end of the Mojave desert, so you're supposed to be this big accomplished hero by now, but I literally just snuck past some deathclaws and ran till I reached Vegas! It feels weird, really weird, that apparently suddenly everyone's heard of me, when all I've done so far is play paperboy for the caravan company!</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/FalloutNewVegas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FalloutNewVegas</span></a></p>
Mx Amber Alex (she/it)<p>So uh. Do I get to keep the presidential suite? Because so far, the lack of owned housing has been a real problem for me (unlike Fallout 3, which basically gifts you a house ten minutes into the game) and I've had to throw out tons of stuff I'd rather have kept just so I don't fill up my inventory.</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/FalloutNewVegas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FalloutNewVegas</span></a></p>
