New Vegas review from NMA, too good to be true???

[Crooked Bee]

Please take pictures of his girlfriend and post them in this thread, thanks.

Come to think of it, haven't Obsidian changed the Power Armor to look more like the original?

They should make it more like a huge robotic suit, though, like it was in the first games.

 

[Lockkaliber]

Yup they did. It was a pleasant surprise for me since i really disliked beths power armour design. I never played long enough in F3 to meet the enclave but is the remnants armour any different from theirs?

You tell me.

VS.

 

[Lockkaliber]

What the fuck. I didn't think there could be anything to rage about in F3 this long after release.

Moreno with his power armor is badass

That was probably one of the coolest moments in the game, for me, when

that old fart ran away, and I followed him only to run into a fucking Enclave soldier straight out of Fallout 2. For a second there, I turned into my twelve year old self the first time I got my ass handed to me by the Navarro people.

bethesda should fire every single artist working for them. their item designs are always so fucking ugly that it literally hurts to look at that shit...

no, there was surprisingly well-done "original" t-51b power armor in fo3 too, hidden away in fort constantine. nv uses the same model.

 

[Radisshu]

Oh. Well, Obsidian still gets tons of incline points for the old school Enclave armor.

Oh, I guess I was wrong then. Still, their own power armours look like moldy ass.

 

[DalekFlay]

Of all the things to complain about in Fallout 3 I don't think the Enclave redesign is one of them. I liked the more insect-looking Enclave armor in that game. Which is not to say the classic look isn't cool to see in New Vegas though, make no mistake.

Yeah, i felt the same thing.

Everything about their mechanical/weapon design sucks. I don't even want to use energy weapons anymore because of their ridiculous looks. The original FO energy weapons had a bit of the 50's touch, but they didn't look like complete piece of shit. Yet another reason why Bethesda should stick to generic fantasy bullshit.

Okay, tried a shot at this game one more time

The horribly annoying looped background noise bug is still present, but whatever, this can be fixed by a quick save/load.

However, I am told by Sunny to go see someone called 'Trudy' in goodsprings saloon. Well, okay. I go there, but there's no Trudy.

okay... Let's consult the quest compass. It points to some arbitrary house.

I enter the house when suddenly some unnamed settler comes out to greet me yelling 'THANK GOD YOU ARRIVED AS FAST AS YOU DID, OR I WOULD BE A GONER. HERE, TAKE THIS'

Uhm... who the fuck is this woman and what the fuck did just happen.

Yeah, she also wasn't the 'Trudy' I was looking for. The quest compass still points at this house, but there's no Trudy inside.

Yup, that's a really promising fucking beginning.

Fuck this game.

That's the woman who was attacked by geckos earlier at the wells during the tutorial mission, maybe you didn't notice her. Trudy lives in the same house.

I went through the whole building. SHE'S JUST NOT THERE.

AND IF SHE LIVES IN THE HOUSE, WHY DOES THE JOURNAL TELL ME 'MEET HER AT THE SALOON'?

FFS, EVEN ARCANIA WAS AT LEAST FUCKING PLAYABLE, GODDAMMIT

:meltdown:

 

[Freelance Henchman]

If you go into local map and zoom in you should see the exact spot where she is. If she's not there then it might be a bug.

 

[bonescraper]

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THERE'S NO JOURNAL, ONLY QUEST COMPASS.

BTW ENJOY YOUR RADIANT AI.

Brace for fanboy onslaught!

Seriously though, many quests are bugged and break if you don't do things in the intended order. Mabbe try the quesfix mod compilation.

You need to calm down and rest for a few hours in game. Maybe it'll help. *shrugs* In my LP I just skipped past the shooting geckos and went straight to the bar, Trudy's there.

 

[Lockkaliber]

Come on bro, restart the game or something. It's worth it.

 

[Freelance Henchman]

Is this at night? The NPCs move to their sleeping place at night, so if you fucked around the landscape for a long time before finishing the tutorial bit and didn't go to her immediately after I can see how it might be confusing. But that's what the trusty ole' Quest Compass(tm) is for.

No, fuck you. Trudy wasn't in saloon cause it was probably very late, so she went home.

1 You was so reterded you didin't even think about that

2 Even fucking "magic" compass wasn't enough to help you

3 I'm waiting for your F:NV review, full of retarded complains. Codex trolls like skyway will be in heaven

4 Play the game before judging it, this place is full of retards watching only gameplay videos

Żal, żal.pl ;P

NPCs have some basic schedules implemented, ie. during the evening hours they're usually in their beds, sleeping. Trudy doesn't sleep at the saloon, try resting/waiting or coming back later during the working hours.

In the meantime - there's an NPC around the goodsprings source location who can give you a sidequest. The 10mm pistol is a potential reward.
