Old World Blues

[Mastermind]

Energy Axe and robot scorpions.

I might grab this just for the loot.

In before skyway and generic codex rage.

 

[Andyman Messiah]

Oh man is it out now? :D

 

[CrunchyHemorrhoids]

Corridor shooter.

 

[DragoFireheart]

Roboscropions? Looks fun.

Obsidian is sending out a patch before you can DL the DLC however. I'll probably wait before buying to avoid any bugs.

 

[Mastermind]

No but they posted some screens on facebook. The other one was of two BLOBERT robots arguing so I didn't bother with it.

The mechanical radscorpion makes me want to reinstall NV arrrg.

 

[Surf Solar]

It gets released on July 19th.
While the other DLC (especially Dead Money were good, I will skip on that one. I always hated wacky "OMFG ROBOTZ AND BRAINZ EVERYWHRE!!!" in Fallout, not particulary interested here either.

 

[Turisas]

So Lonesome Road won't release until August, then?

 

[Surf Solar]

Most probably yes. Must be some serious shit as to why they delay both of them while they are apparently already done.

Most likely bugs. Every time a DLC was released, it came packaged with more bugs.

Shades of the old EPA and Boulder Dome design docs all over this one. I've been really pleased with F:NV thus far and have liked the DLC, but this one looks pretty iffy. I might still give it a shot because the team hasn't really done me wrong thus far, but man I don't know...It just looks silly.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

It is a Mister Christ Avellone DLC though, so surely it'll be great.

and still all dungeons look the fucking same

I'm playing through NV now after I picked it up for $10. Definitely better than FO3 (not saying much) but not good enough to make me want to buy any DLC. The funny thing is each DLC adds five more levels to the cap which is utterly pointless since any balance the game brings in terms of limiting you to a three or so skill character build breaks around 20ish. By level 40+ you can probably have 100 in almost every skill.

and still all dungeons look the fucking same

Yep. Lazy art direction. Granted they were leaning on Bethesda's assets and they did a slightly better job of making things look somewhat different but ultimately the 'generic ruined building' tileset accounts for 80% of the locations.

authentic american architectural design

Pretty much. We made some cool stuff before it all turned into glass-faced towers and over-priced, cookie cutter housing developments though.

jaesun you scamp did you just move this to general gaming

 

[Surf Solar]

The reason for the delay.
And yeah, it looks like the most boring and rolleyes-inducing DLC so far. Not sure if I'll get it.

jaesun you scamp did you just move this to general gaming

It was here all the time I believe.

 

[someone else]

Roboscorpions? Why not let Prosper do a DLC instead?
I wonder if they have laser cannons in their claws and stingers.

Pretty sure this belongs in RPG Discussion

General RPG Discussion is too edgy for that.

 

[Phage]

more like Jaesun's RPGs Discussion.

Nifty design in itself, but recycling it for entities right next to it is pretty lame.
