FallOut: New Vegas: Nice Guys Finish…erm later than expected

"The House Always Wins"

I finally got round to completing Bethesda/Obsidians Fallout: New Vegas this week. Now, considering I pretty much bought this when it first came out, it has taken me a very long time to complete it. This has got little to do with the size or complexity of the game (of course, it is quite big and the main storyline is quite long.)

My main reason for taking so long to complete the game, is all due to the perk called ‘explorer’. For those who don’t know, the explorer perk which you can obtain at level 20 puts a marker on your map for every explorable location in the game. Read more

FallOut: New Vegas is the sequel to the Bethesda Studios (the same guys and gals who brought us the Elder Scrolls series) 2008 Best Seller ‘FallOut 3’. Although, maybe ‘sequel’ is not the right term as though it is undoubtedly the same apocalyptic wastes of the US set four years after the FallOut 3 storyline, it does feature all new characters and is set in an entirely new city; Las Vegas or ‘New Vegas’ as it is now named.

The Mojave wastes of New Vegas are not as devastated as the Capital Wastes of Fall-Out 3, many of the buildings are still standing, especially when you get to the heart of New Vegas which still has it’s own version of the golden strip glittering away. However, this meant that the area is rife with gang warfare and mafia-esque gangland bosses vying for power. Read more
