Good thing about Goodsprings as a tutorial location is that you can just gtfo if you don't wanna deal with it.

Unlike some other games...

I'm going to guess that it's 'bored' which would be awesome.

Hey should I even bother playing through New Vegas again? I never finished the courier expansion, and I never saw any of the other DLCs after that first one.

I wouldn't because it might burn you out on RPGs just prior to the game coming out

also New Vegas didn't age very well as a video game

Tried booting up New Vegas again. ... Didn't click. Maybe I've played so much New Vegas I'm still burnt out on it, maybe I keep forgetting how drat boring Goodsprings is compared to everything else.

There's very little keeping you in Goodsprings.

Just walk away.

Welcome back to the Liturgigoon thread, friend.
I'm currently playing through New Vegas and I'm quite enjoying it...

That said, I'm an inveterate min/maxer and I find sneaking past deathclaws to get to Freeside to play slots with luck 9 before I've gotten a single level so I can buy an intelligence upgrade to boost my intelligence to ten so I don't miss out on a single skill point fun so ymmv.

Kinda surprised at all the people getting huffy about the lighting. Bethesda are a bunch of screw-ups, but I don't think you can accuse them of talking up their graphical fidelity very much. The vast bulk of their PR has always been about the game's vast open-world/emergent gameplay, crafting system, and voiced protagonist. Also, yeah, it's on loving consoles. We do live in a world where a zombie survival shooter mod of a six year old game was a smash hit and a there's whole cottage industry of games centered around retro graphics.

Fun is fun, and I'm going probably going to have a blast crafting a trash-cannon that shoots flaming billiard balls -- and you will too, OR ELSE.

Welp, finished my costume literally minutes before leaving for a halloween party, but the time I spent working on the laser rifle paid off - I won most creative and was 1 vote off from best overall. Won a bottle of Bourbon County Rare, which is an overpriced $60 craft beer normally only available on Black Friday in Chicago. Not exactly worth it, but yay gloating rights.

and to the above there is essentially 0 chance of paid mods happening again, and even if they went that way it would be pointless seeing as theyd be reuploaded to nexus in no time

that could be superseded by a contract with bethesda and is more to stop random people selling their mods without going through them

eh, a fair amount of the feedback during that was that paid mods after the community was established was a bad idea. doing it a few months after release when the modding kit arrives is a different story, and they have to have that bethesda.net client for a reason

I think this is likely, even if the reference is a small one.

One of the leaked screenshots displays the date as 10.23.2287, which is after New Vegas.

Hope dude drops some info on how stealth is. I'm not expecting that it's been refined that much, but you never know.
