"If you ever visit New Vegas", interrupts Ringo, "look me up at the Crimson Caravan."
AHHH. YOU PEOPLE ARE MAKING ME DREAM AGAIN.
"Nightkin - elite, if schizophrenic commandos equipped with cloaking devices"
Even this makes me excited. In Van Buren there was a whole thing about extended use of stealth boys causing schizophrenia. BOS splinter groups who left after losing their grip on reality, Mormon prophets, all kinds of things. If you were a doctor character, you'd be able to diagnose them. Goddamn. I hope that comes up in this game.
New Vegas has a sense of humour the original lacked. Also a sense of style, and a feel for the Fallout universe that you can only get from the team that created it.
It is like Christmas. My biggest complaint with Fallout 3 was the writing, and the rest of my complaints are probably going to be dealt with be Sawyer's hardcore mode. I can't wait.
