Want to play Fallout: New Vegas but apparently the patch that was released when Dead Money DLC was released makes some USB input devices not being recognized by Fallout: NV, in my case both mouse & keyboard.
New unannounced DLC for New Vegas came out recently. It's called Fallout 3.

So I guess a new DLC called Honest Hearts is going to be coming out on May 17.

I live pretty close to Zion National Park, as a matter of fact I drove through it on my way to a funeral yesterday, so I'm really excited. :grin:
Looking forward to the last of that series: Lonesome Road. Ulysses has a lot of backstory that'll actually make it good. The second one, Old World Blues, looks terrible though.
GENTLEMEN.
THE BURNED MAN.

Reading up on it. It's kinda strange how a Morman missionary can become a BRUTAL MURDERING LEGIONARY and then go back to being a peaceloving hippy Christian. Seems like a, uh, slight oversight.
Has anyone played the "Broken Hearts" DLC yet? I am waiting until after finals before I buy it and play it.
I got this on sale months ago and still haven't started yet ( :shame: ).
Any quick tips for someone who's never played a fallout game before (but who is pretty good at FPS's)?
Thanks,
CR
well, considering you said youre pretty good at FPS's, I assume you have played CoD, Battlefield, and other widely enjoyed shooter games.
so, if you decide to use a character that uses guns, be they energy, explosives, or normal firearms, remember this: the round will not regularly hit exactly where you are aiming. in CoD, every bullet on most guns will hit exactly where you aim the sights. in Fallout, there is spread, meaning that you may be aiming at that guys torso at 100 meters away, but you can easily hit his legs, arms, or even miss completely. the higher your characters skill goes the less spread youll get, but at the start especially, when you have a crisis trying to find ammo, it can really hurt not hitting every shot.
Play the game with a child like sense of wonder. And go to quarry junction at the start, you'll be able to kill deathclaws easy.Quote:

Ditto(the second advice). hardcore isn't much harder, just adds a bit of realism into it. And very hard still isn't super difficult, sans a few encounters, and most of those are against animal/abomination/crazy ghoul things. Most human enemies simply aren't that hard.Quote:

I have like 150 stimpacks and millions of bottle-caps/food/drink so I think it's a little unnecessary tbh. The biggest worries on Hardcore are: weight limit and limb crippleage. Pack rat is a must, reducing anything weighing 2lbs or less weighs half that, and as ammo, food, drink, etc. has weight it is a big boon.Quote:

It's a big enough and easy enough game that you don't need to focus on that stuff, first time through. My character was turned into an NCR sniper and had a whole other game to my son's Legion brawler.
You let your son play this game? You must be the best parent ever!
Played Honest Hearts.
Loved it.
New weapons, including
unique ones (one even had a very nice backstory to it).
The yao guai are back, and they hit harder than ever
(I'm wearing enclave armor and they rip right through it).
Just one complaint.
'Giant" versions of creatures.
Including......
wait for it....
mother-fookin CAZADORS.
H8!
EDIT: Also, you are not stripped of your weapons, but must have under 75 lbs on you (or 100, if you have strong back perk).
So be sure to bring a powerful weapon.
I brought the AMR and Ranger Sequoia.....
AMR is fine, but I recommend a heavy weapon, like a heavy incinerator or plasma caster.
I have encountered 8 CTDs and I have only played though 1/3 of "Honest Hearts".:help:
This is a new record for anything, I have ever played in a DLC.:furious3:
Wondering if I should continue or not....having this happen to me this many times, reeks of instability issues.:inquisitive:
Anyone else having CTDs often on this?
Uhh....
I don't know what CTDs are...
If you mean crashes/bugs, I haven't had any.
I don't know if its because I got a brand new Xbox 360 hard drive.
Yeah, Xbox 360 is much more better for DLC's, I noticed...:brood:Quote:

I am going to wait for a couple days and see if anyone else has a problem with this.
Haven't had an opportunity to to give it a spin yet. When uni calms down a little I will and I'll let you know.Quote:

His advice is just to kill Joshua and leave that place.(You can leave but it makes most of the DLC pointless):laugh4:
No crashes for me, just lots of save game corruption. About half-way through Honest Hearts, not really enjoying it, I may restart as the story hasn't grabbed me and I forget what I'm meant to be doing. Dead Money was a lot richer, darker and interesting. This feels like a big piece of tacked on poop, starting with Joshua Graham's miraculous change from a killer to a less evil killer and monsters ported from FO3 or simply bigger/slightly changed from standard New Vegas (like green geckos, just regular geckos that spit spore plant poison). Only the recipes are useful, the perks certainly aren't.
My buddy liked that one that increases damage, the more crippled limbs you have. I think it increases it by 25% per limb? Doesn't count the body though.:no:
I personally thought he was nuts to have all his limbs crippled.:laugh4:
He was a Mormon, then became Caesars Malpais Legate, then was burned alive and thrown into the Grand Canyon.Quote:

Besides, its the Wasteland, so who isn't a killer?
So are any of the DLC worth getting? Iirc, they're running about 10 bucks, which seems a tad rich for me. But, I've got some extra time about a week from now and its been awhile since I've gone exploring the desert.
Dead Money is 100% worth it.Quote:

It's called 'hypocrisy' and it happens A LOT nowadays, my friends and family are a good example of this. It does take a great deal to make that leap...some sort of Schizophrenia perhaps? There are tons more unbelievable things in this game like, lasers act like bullets and take off limbs...:dizzy2:Quote:
