The Vault has collected a fair bit of information on Fallout: New Vegas by now, so it's worth checking out if you're interested. You can find the New Vegas section here.

Two new, and apparently official, Fallout 3: New Vegas wallpapers.

This preview frankly makes it sound FANTASTIC:

http://resumeplay.ne...-new-vegas.html


It is a little spoilerish in terms of the way the game *starts*, but it sounds pretty damn good, actually. There's no noteworthy spoilers beyond the starting town, and I think it's worth checking out.

In terms of gameplay (and without plot spoilers), this:

In Hardcore Mode you’ll experience hardship through New Vegas as everything in the game is heightened to intense realism. Your ammunition now adds weight, and you’re forced to actually consume water regularly to avoid dehydration or death. Your healing after usage of the stimpak (health units) is now delayed, and to heal crippled limbs you need a high level in your medicine skill.


...sounds freaking AWESOME.

And so does this:

Reputation returns in this title after its absence in Fallout 3. Your availability of dialogue options are based on your reputation, karma and skill. So, this time around your skill has a substantial effect on your conversation choices. Your success in conversation depends on it, and isn’t based on sheer chance like you saw in Fallout 3. Depending on whom you kill or befriend and what side you take the notoriety system will take note and some people will want you dead while others will seek to aid and pay tribute to you.


Seriously, this does very much sound like what Fallout 3 *should* have been. I'm very psyched.

Yeah, I agree, it sounds great. It would probably be wise not to get too hyped though, as Obsidian had to work with the same engine, so there's only so much they could change and slimline. I'm hopeful though.

GameSpot AU has posted a video interview with Chris Avellone - he talks about some of the key design choices in Fallout: New Vegas, for example: the player will be able to play through the game without killing anyone, using diplomacy and stealth. GamePro has set up a bullet-point E3 preview of Fallout: New Vegas.

I'm still looking forward to New Vegas, but since there has literally been a flood of previews and so forth, I haven't been updating this thread recently, and I probably won't until it's released. I still fully expect NV to be an excellent excursion from sci-fi/fantasy RPGs though.
