<p style="margin-left:50px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;border-top-color:#ffffff;padding:5px;border-right-color:#bbbbbb;border-left-color:#ffffff;border-bottom-color:#bbbbbb;">However, the biggest mystery at the moment is what the Vegas Strip looks like, and what you’ll be able to do once you get there. Obsidian are currently working on the Strip, and despite several probing questions, the team is saying very little about it. We know to expect lavishness, only with a slightly run-down feel, and all kinds of mad entertainment. Gambling? It’s a certainty. Musical shows? Very possible. Ghoul pole-dancers? Er, maybe.
With the vibrancy of the Strip, the scale of the Hoover Dam, and the varied colour palette of a world that hasn’t been completely levelled by nuclear war, the ‘fresh’ territory of Fallout New Vegas is certainly a more interesting place to be than the Capital Wasteland. Combine that with funnier story-telling courtesy of the new developer, an improved dialogue system and the same half-strategic, half-realtime combat we enjoyed in Fallout 3, and the odds certainly seem stacked in its favour. The first truly great RPG of 2010? Place your bets now.
