New Vegas patch this week

[Comrade Goby]

People use third person mode?

I have no clue how people can stand the animations in F:NV in 3rd person.

Also I single save pretty much every game I've played since N64 days. I don't think I've had one corrupt save file in that time. Inb4 my next save gets corrupted.

The NPCs will be executing these same animations in front of you regardless of your camera choice (save for jumping). In 1st person you may not see your character unable to run diagonally, but everyone else in the gameworld will still be unable to run diagonally.

No goby, you are the full retards

Anyway, exploring in 1st person all the time makes me dizzy. Panning the camera away now and then alleviates the effect.

What the fuck I had just killed the souvenir dude in Novac and then I was taking a look at his radioactive closet and then boone starts talking about his beret... while he's not in the room

And do I lose much content by killing vulpes?

 

[Clockwork Knight]

iirc, Vulpes is substituted by another guy if you kill him early. Check his page on the wiki.

You'll get a "Like" point if Boone sees you kill Vulpes. You need 5/13 of them to unlock Boone's quest.

These hiking sims lend themselves to being played in 1st person. It gives you the feeling like your the one actually out there exploring.

That's the strength of these games.

How the fuck do you get dizzy ? Do you sit there spinning in circles ? Or do you have vertigo or something ?

These hiking sims lend themselves to being played in 1st person. It gives you the feeling like your the one actually out there exploring.

OR it gives you the feeling that you're just a floaty spectator in a gameworld you don't belong to, an effect particularly noticeable in bethesdian games where you don't even see your lower body when looking downwards.

I'd rather see my character in the gameworld, either through OTS, topdown, sideview or whatever other perspective. And since we're talking about hiking sims OTS cam lets you have all the landscape-admiring functionality of fpp while retaining the sense of identity you have from seeing your character in the gameworld, the "link".

For me the third person view makes the game unplayable if I want to do anything other than moving. Whatever. I like fast travel.

[UndetectedButthurt]

Holy fuck, that was beyond painful to watch.

 

[malko_sundervere]

Hmm... That looks like it will be very silly.
But I suppose it's the Fallout 2 version of New Vegas DLC. I just hope that it's funny. Probably won't be up to par with Dead Money, nor even Honest Hearts, might be very stupid... But I'm an optimist. It might be very funny.
...Who am I kidding, it's Canterbury Commons again . But it'll at least be an Avellone-written version of it.

Haha oh man that looks ridiculous.
