You get the pip boy from an old vault inhabitant, plus would you rather you just had no menu? The point of the pipboy was to give a reasonable way to have all your stats and info available incorporated into the game instead of the usual hud display.

[gordulan]

as i said earlier, it would be far more wastelandy if they put it into three modules, not all heroes can be expected to own a pip-boy

A med-boy for the medical systems
A pack-boy for the inventory
and a notebook (in paper) for the quests, news and shit like that...

why have a -boy anything? whatever happened to having a backpack.

[gordulan]

would be a kind of mess, rooting about it with about 20 or so assault rifles lying in there at any 1 time...
plus, wtf are the miniguns or laser gatlings gonna look like in there?
that is one thing that has really buggered me for a while now.
i have about 280 carry weight on fa3 right now though, triedit, and it wasn't that bad, maybe just a litte unfalloutlike, but not that bad, the pipboy really makes me want to chew off my arm at times, just because of the fact that 1 hand is always naked...
i mean, the glitched gary23 winterised combat armour looks really good, but the pipboy ruins 1 sleeve completely...

Yeah, there's mods for that. Everything looks a lot better without that damn retarded glove and bare sleeve.

ahum, ahum, i'm using the ps3 for it, got it at a bargain of 15£ for the GOTY edition for the ps3, and don't ask me where i got it since it was the only copy the store had left, the Pitt just had a raw fallouty feeling to it though, one of the best DLCs ever, the best being anchorage with the indestructible T51-b Power Armour waiting at the end.

you've got to be joking, anchorage was by far the worst expansion. Sure the loot was good (PA sucks balls compared to stealth suit) but it turned fallout into a generic shooter which doesn't work very well since the combat is pretty shitty for a FPS. The boss was so damn buggy that 30 seconds into the fight your own troops open fire for no reason and the stealth armour pretty much broke the game. Plus it was even uglier than regular fallout 3.

[gordulan]

you know what, i never said that the gameplay was any good, the fav part is definetly the ability to get the indestructible items within the simulation out of it, and personally speaking, the "pre-war" weapons skins feel far more appeealing than the grimy "post-apo" styles on the guns, i never said that it was any good gameplay, i just said that i liked the loot given by the expansion, but by gameplay, the Pitt is most probably the very best one of the DLCs, although i wouldn't be caught carrying any armour found there except for maybe the tribal PA and the raider commando suit.

I think the biggest disappointment was the mansion quest in lookout point, all that work for a shittier version of a useless gun with super rare ammo?

[gordulan]

yeah, but still, it helped me load up on rad-banishing foodstuffs, and several free perks, now i don't step out of the home without 30 or so punga fruits with me, both healthy and nourishing. Kinda awkward finding a piece of my brain on the boat at the end of the thing though, and it kinda felt lifeless, with a nonexistent usage of my lady-killer abilities, it just felt like a run&gun thing that a mediocre modder could do disguised behing voice acting and properly textured items, made me go back there and mini-nuke the entire cathedral just because of the crap value of the thing...

p.s. will the refined fruits grow back after a while though, it's kinda used as my stimpacks now...

The Pitt sucked because the baby was indestructible. Otherwise it was quite good.

[gordulan]

you sick bastard, what kind of person are you if yu want to explode a baby.

[Roachor]

Lol I tried so hard to drop the baby in the pile of dead bodies in the sewer.

[Alvarez]

By the way, do OXM actually mean it SERIOUSLY or am i just missing the sarcasm?

"Clearly, you have a responsibility to push the series forward, but there's also nothing worse than a misguided attempt to differentiate a follow-up that only ruins what everyone loved about the original. Throw in a new developer - [Fallout] New Vegas is being developed by Obsidian rather than Bethesda's in-house team - and there is no doubt that a fair few Fallout fans will be more than a little concerned that this could be a recipe for nuclear disaster" - OXM UK, Fallout: New Vegas article, March 2010.

I believe, someone put wrong "fair few Fallout fans" instead of "fair few Fallout3: Capital Wasteland fans."

[Roachor]

Yeah what would black isle know about making a fallout game?
