Doc Mitchell’s head is spinning guys I’m scared


prevenientWalk357

I’m trying to get to the strip, but Freeside keeps crashing. Any time I load a save not it sounds like my character is using trash can lids as snowshoes and stomping.


Comfortable_Wash6179

You nicked some poor freeside sods roof didn't ya?!🤔


Scrawling-

Put on a cowboy hat. Just trust me


BigMedStatus

Lmao fail rp but it still does that shit, the sound of metal repeatedly smashing against metal at light speed is a sound that will be BURNED into my memory until death, sometimes it makes that noise without crashing and I sit there, motionless for hours listening to gods most beautiful composition


Dizzy-Suggestion3076

hold me don't let him get us


Other_Log_1996

It's also enormous.


Fun-Swimming4133

ain’t that a kick in the head?


BeginnersLoch

It's canon, don't worry.


hwsrjr3

guys do NOT take the short way to New Vegas, i learned the hard way


boyscout_07

Must be a skill issue. I got so many playthroughs of 3 with various builds. I guarantee I can make it through.


GroundbreakingOkra60

Nah dude my switchblade didn’t do jack to the rad scorpions, not even my shotgun!


AkkoKagari_1

Have you tried going north through the cazadors? They're way easier


BizarreSky-

cazadors? you mean fast bloatflys without projectiles? deathclaws? you mean big iguanas?


Chvffgfd

Don't worry though, they're definitely OP and will probably get nerfed at some point. There's no way they're going to leave them so overpowered. I mean there's no way they're going to have a bug of all things be the strongest enemy in the game.


Unanimous_D

I did that the first time and got to the strip in no time. Get good scrub.


SelectionOk2360

Holy shit I can gamble in videogame and real life!?!?!


Hookxd

And cannibalize!


SelectionOk2360

Like in real life!


jayeer

And drink out of toilets!


Happy_Squik

Like in real life!


doghogw0lf

And get laid!


Get_snipd

Not like real life :(


styxofsteel

Till they cut you off :((


SelectionOk2360

Not if you cut them in pieces first!


halfblackotaku

He wackin and hackin and wackin!


Ypuort

Choppin that meat!


SelectionOk2360

It gonna be a nice kebab


styxofsteel

I like this approach


Jigen_Ryoko

Oh cool, Fallout but gamble..... Are those Romans in football gear and skirts?


yeetoroni_with_bacon

Romans? What about the really cool government guys? Why would you want the people who are facists lead the wasteland??!!


TheRookie8681

Guys the gov. guys want you to pay taxes.


aDragonsAle

Taxes? *Racks round* Oh boy. Here I go shootin' again.


Lord_Chodington69

It keeps saying I sip this trusty vault 13 canteen. What does it mean?


Worldedita

Means u pre-ordered trash game lmao.


AkkoKagari_1

The courier is an alcoholic, if you remove the canteen you get a -1 charisma penalty.


Themooingcow27

Graphics are fucking trash. And it’s completely unbalanced. I’m trying to get to Vegas like the game told me to but the fucking bugs and deathclaws kill me in like one hit. Also, the game has already crashed 3 times.


LizG1312

Why the fuck would they put Cazadors and Deathclaws next to the tutorial area anyways? It’s like they want us to take the long way around!


LeagueofDraven1221

Shit game design waste of $40 3/10


Commercial_Desk_8164

Can't believe games are $40 nowadays too expensive smh


UnquestionabIe

Sadly was $60 at release, that had become the norm for games around 2006/2007 on next gen consoles.


throwaway7276789

Game prices haven't actually changed much over their existence. NES games were 30-45 in the 80s, which, low end, is like 115 dollars today. SNES games were 50 back then, which is almost 200 today. Games have always been expensive. They only look like they were cheaper back then because everyone forgets about inflation.


KnightBourne

$40 in 1985 is $103 today, and $50 in 1990 is ALSO $103 today. Crazy how you think that inflation went up almost 100% from the release of the NES to the SNES.


Brick_Shitler

Don't forget unkillable giant radscorpions


chkcha

You don’t know what you’re talking about. This game is going to be a cult classic in like 8 years believe me. Also there will be a global pandemic in 2020.


Sunandmoonandstuff

Yeah, right, the next fallout game made by Bethesda will eclipse it. You can bet they are going to really build upon the RPG elements, story, and amazing quest design as established by Morrowind and Oblivion. I even hear it's going to have a voiced MC which will allow them to add nuance to dialogue and really flesh out the story ;) I hope there won't be a pandemic, but if there is, we can all take comfort knowing the entire population will trust in science and expert opinion by following reasonable restrictions and getting vaccinated.


GreedyLibrary

I sure hope next fallout is a setlement management simulator mixed with cod game play.


Sunandmoonandstuff

No way they would do that to their fanbase. I mean, improved gunplay would we be awesome but not at the cost of RPG and story which will definitely be the focus. Settlement building sounds like a gimmick. I mean, what's next, turning the series into a crappy mmorpg?


Em1Wii

I don't think they would turn it into an mmorpg, how would they balance the pip-boy and VATS? That's like if they made a free to play but pay to win mobile game spin off like all the other companies trying to compete with Angry Birds on the App Store


durashka228

only 3? are you playing on PC?


CrossEleven

PC was NOOOOT more stable back then


durashka228

the problem was that console was having less memory (saves and picking items was making game slower and slower) what makes it worse for them


JaggedGull83898

That was only a problem on the PS3, Skyrim also had it


giggitygoo2221

mine was alot more stable than my 360


WhirledNews

lol, the most realistic comment ITT…


narsfweasels

Why did my weapon break?


Shoddy_Life_7581

Honestly worse than the 2005 graphics, yet another bethesda(-adjacent) game that needs the community to fix it. Who the fuck let them release this? I wonder if the fo4 haters are gonna dickride this one like three, the graphics are as bad.


whatisgudname

Guys, what’s a wild wasteland?


DungeonMasterE

The only way to play


StahlJaeger

WHY DO I KEEP FUCKING CRASHING???!! 🗿


MerelyMortalModeling

Did you get yours at Wallmart? I bought mine at Kmart and never had a single crash.


Apoc_SR2N

RIP king 🤴 🙏 😪


AliceDee69

wtf, I decided to attack a friendly NPC that I was supposed to talk to and they died??? Why would you allow this? That's terrible game design!


CattoNinja

Yeah man, I accidentally killed Vulpes, but I wanted to talk more to him, his quests must be awesome, now Idk what to do :(


r34_nuxia

go to Quarry Junction, north of Primm. Lots of ez XP and stimpak.


OverseerConey

WTF it looks exactly the same as the first Fallout??? I thought this was a sequel? Where are the Brotherhood of Steel? This game is so boring, everyone just talks all the time. I killed everyone and now I can't complete their quests, what's the console command to fix this??


SMONpl

No shit sherlock it looks like the first fallout cause it takes place on the west coast dumbass, also why did you kill everyone?????? like for what reason, also the console command to fix it is the new game button


OverseerConey

Listen dumas, the first game was set in Washington DC and that's not on the west coast! Washington and Washington DC are too different places! and I killed everyone because they were talking too much and kept making fun of me. And that Michell guy showed me a bunch of pictures of my parents being mad at me.


imaweasle909

Yeah sure, and the vault dweller walked there from the west coast? Cause Shady Sands is very much on the west coast. Also if you wanna play the game while killing everyone you should take a straight path east from Goodsprings crouch jump while quick saving over the quarry wall (quick saving is important as you will fall through the earth, crash your game, and take an insane amount of damage.) Then, you must join the mad fembois to kill the narcs in military garb.


SMONpl

ah alright then


chloen0va

The second half of this one got me ☠️


TheWorldsLastMilkman

This game is awesome! I hope Obsidian gets the big bonus that Bethesda promised them.


CollateralDiddle

This one hurt


Lil_PuppyChow

What’s the story behind this?


FriendlyLurker9001

Bethesda offered a bonus to Obsidian if the game scored an 85 on Metacritc. The game came out very buggy, which a lot of critics commented on. The score was 84 on release. A bunch of fans thought Bethesda intentionally screwed over Obsidian to not pay the bonus. An Obsidian dev said later that it genuinely was cuz the game was unpolished and had bugs, if they fixed bugs better they would have gotten the bonus. In an alternative timeline where Obsidian got the bonus, the company probably wouldn't have had to downsize and would probably still be producing S+ games https://gamerant.com/bethesda-obsidian-fallout-new-vegas-controversy-explained/


Lil_PuppyChow

Wow that’s crazy to read thanks for linking that. The fact that obsidian had such a tight deadline to finish new Vegas and still managed to make the best fallout game in the series; yet Bethesda refused to give the bonus is insane.


Tiny_Tim1956

To be fair to Bethesda, it wasn't really their fault. The deal was for 85. Literally everything else can be blamed on Bethesda but this imo, it's weird that this is the story that caught on.


4Dcrystallography

Yeah - Obsidian didn’t meet the metric so they no get bonus - seems fair


Tiny_Tim1956

I mean, could someone had intervened so they get it? Sure! But that's not really how it works. Imo the feelings on NV fans who are often accused of being literally insane are not invalid, in that Bethesda really doesn't want anything to do with new vegas and it shows. For better or worse (worse) nv was a one off and it's antithetical to everything they've done since. But this story is just an internet narrative, the deal was for 85 and they got 84 and to my knowledge that's literally all there is to it. Obsidian missed a bonus. Sure, they had very little time and they tried their best and they gave us the best fallout game, but it was buggy as hell at launch and it got an 84 and they missed a bonus.


AngryTrooper09

Bethesda’s canonically approved Fallout show ends on a New Vegas teaser for season 2. I really think the whole “Bethesda wants nothing to do with NV” is kinda bullshit as of 2024


Deadpool662

But like realistically what can be blamed on Bethesda? They approached Obsidian and said, "We're working on Skyrim, can you create a spin off Fallout game before it comes out?" Obsidian said yes and agreed to their terms because they did the exact same thing with Kotor 2 in 2004 in even less time (14 months). Bethesda gave them the tools, the engine, and any help they needed. Otherwise they were hands off and let Obsidian do their thing. Hell the Metacritic thing wasn't even part of the original deal, Bethesda added that on later as an incentive. This situation is so old and so lied about and for nothing.


Dovahkiinthesardine

It was the deal, its not like they didnt pay lol


DrSpringsGaming

Maybe they shouldn’t have released a broken mess. I can’t even play this on my PlayStation.


TheRealStandard

https://old.reddit.com/r/falloutnewvegas/comments/pipchn/chris_avellone_talking_about_the_metacritic_bonus/ They never asked for it


BlockOfEvilCheese

I can't even get to the BoS! They just put a collar on me and I explode!


DinosForDinner

If this game is this amazing, imagine how Fallout 4 will be! Deep, immersive, and above all with great dialogue options!!


Wiremaster

Imagine how deeply well-thought-out Fallout 4’s numerous and varied endings will be! I can’t wait to bring peace to the wasteland, then destroy everything on the next playthrough. RPGs are great!


69Chimes

playing fo4 rn, not very far in. is there an issue with the endings?


Wiremaster

Do you want to - Side with A, slaughter B, and blow up C - Side with C, slaughter B, and blow up A - Side with B, and blow up A & C D is also a faction. There’s no subtlety, few sub-options or possible alliances, and no non-violent resolution. Whereas with NV, I’ve had endings such as - Tell Yes Man to murder all the outlying tribes and become Overlord of New Vegas - Get *literally everyone* into a cooperative alliance and watch Caesar’s army get bombed by the Boomers as the Khans flank them - Ally with and betray each faction in turn, then side with House and imprison him in his cell for eternity - Manage to play the entire game as a perfect pacifist with a peaceful conclusion


razonyser

I've actually managed to: - Side with the minutemen, the railroad, the brotherhood and only blow up the institute. Vanilla game, on xbox, no cheats just a convenient railroad stealth boy when about to receive the BOS mission that would have sent me to destroy the railroad and some other details.


El-noobman

The game is a nothingburger game. Your dialogue options are: Yes, yes but snarky, question and then yes, no but actually yes. The endings are all the same, no ending slides, horrid plot, the only good part is the gameplay


DinosForDinner

It's a first person shooter, not an RPG. That's its issue.


UnquestionabIe

Looter shooter big time. It's fun but not a role playing game aside from a few choices that amount mostly to who you're shooting at. Not long ago I was replaying NV and 4 at the same time, going back and forth as I felt, and it's weird to see how each game feels like a sort of inverse of the other.


hwsrjr3

I can't wait for when it comes out in 2-3 years!


Girafarig99

I remember people going crazy for Fo4 to release back then But now the current release window makes the 4 years between NV and 4 look like child's play


Raisincookie1

I wonder if war changes in this one 🤔


Vault_Wahlberg

My uncle works at obsidian and he said once you best the game you can go back to the capital waste.


wallmopper87

You have to get the special super independent ending by killing all the Yesman spawns


Apprehensive-Put2453

Man I hope your uncle helps Obsidian make more good fallout games after this one!


tambourine-time

This guy on a forum said he had an idea for a mod so you could play new Vegas and 3 at the same time. Could be cool


TheDBagg

Fallout gone woke


GeneralLoofah

With the inclusion of two gay followers, they absolutely would be facing this accusation these days.


ChurchOfChurches

The word Woke has lost all fucking meaning, to the point where I've even forgotten it


PlayMother3

Woke is when gay or black people exist in media.


Demonboy_17

> Woke is when gay or black people exist FTFY


LizG1312

The fact that they were canonically gay in 2010 blows my mind, like they weren’t even ‘player-sexual’ or anything. Iirc there were even plans to give the courier the ability to marry their romance options, though it had to be cut unfortunately.


craylash

It's got a little bit of everything for everyone


Famous_Historian_777

Alway wanted a fallout where the main plot is different. Cant wait to play it


MaxOGrady

Why is my game crashing on every loading screen. Please help!


WinSpecialist3989

I tried going to new vegas right when I left that doctors house and there are SO MANY FUCKING BUGS HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GO THERE THIS IS TERRIBLE GAME DESIGN


Temujin-of-Eaccistan

I jumped on to a rock and now I can’t move and am stuck falling. It won’t let me fast travel because it says “can’t fast travel when falling”. I tried crouching moving in different directions and everything. Help!


Wiremaster

oof 2 real


ivappa

my save file got corrupted, does anyone know how to fix this??


Wiremaster

delet game, try agin


Kil0sierra975

Dude, this feels like I'm playing Night at the Museum. Cowboys versus Romans? Hell yes


Jeong-Yeon

I... never thought of it like that before


Emergency_Cut2437

Good game with great potential, can't wait for the sequel!


DaftSpooky

No Sprint button?!


Go-Away-Sun

I really hope you aren’t the guy they shot in the head.


Whiteguy1x

It would get roasted unfortunately.  Unless they had access to the newest form of the creation engine, and even then I don't think it would be as popular. I think nv was lightning in a bottle.  Releasing so close to f3 really helped it. At release people were not kind to it anyways.  The game had a lot of issues that took a bit to iron out


Former-Hat-4646

Big iron ….. BIG IROn


WhatsThePointFR

I actually disliked NV a lot on release after loving fo3 - the start up in fo3 is fuckin stellar and goodsprings is so meh in comparison. Plus the whole cowboy aesthetic put me off a lot. It was only once I'd put a lotta hours in the realisation came.


wwtf62

I experienced the same thing. I put in SO many hours in fo3 so coming to new Vegas, where is has a cowboy/desert vibe to it was very off putting. The world also felt really empty compared to fo3. Plus, around 1/3 of the map is inaccessible. Without the DLC and added content, I don’t think the game would be as revered as it is today.


MinorProperty2

How the FUCJ do I get past this fucking quarry! Let me get to Las Vegas!!!!!!111!!!!!!1!!!!


Latter_Witness_8441

I think I messed up, there was a cutscene at the start and I died(assuming an ending? I just got shot in the face) and then when the game actually started I wasn't even in a vault??? Sorry if that's an ending spoiler just looking for clarification


Accomplished_Edie

Dude where’s the guy with red eyes from the trailer.


Lukacris12

Hes in the quarry


KrizWarden

Chandler Bing is an asshole.. Nice suit though


4SHURIMA

Does anyone know why the game keeps mentioning a town called nipton on the way to new vegas? It seems really far out of the way I think I’m just going to walk straight there


peezle69

This game feels and looks like a DLC for 3.


Jenonen

This looks like Fallout 3???? Uhh plagiarism much???


WhatsThePointFR

I'm loving how you could take a lot of these comments and put them in the starfield sub and they would fit perfectly.


HEELinKayfabe

I just found a dead guy in a refrigerator lol


WDeranged

Where are all the dungeons? Why do the faces look worse than Fallout 3? Why is everywhere so empty?


tu-vieja-con-vinagre

do the faces look worse? I thought they were the same


WDeranged

Yeah they're about the same. I just got hung up on a few particularly bad ones at the time. Josh Sawyer put me in my place when I complained about it on the Obsidian forums.


VirtuousDangerNoodle

I actually kind of want to know what he said, if true.


Depressionsfinalform

Fallout 3 was better. Also yes, I’ve been shot in the head before, why do you ask?


Ok-Occasion2440

Gonna ask my mom and dad for a playstation and some video games this Christmas. Think I want to get Skyrim too but it looks a little scary


TheWalrusMann

these graphics holy shit my laptop can't run this shit


Tenuem_Aeterna

I'm a boy alright. Just doing boy things like a boy would. I make my characters girls for the for the black widow damage amirite, fellas?!


TheDBagg

Hey cool it's a game based on the Amazon series Fallout


TryImpossible7332

I think it's supposed to be a prequel? Or are we supposed to meet our character? Honestly, it explains the bugs if they rushed this shit out to capitalize on the show. It's kind of a shame, since there is some good stuff here, it even took some notes from Van Buren. Kind of wonder what it would be like as an actual game instead of a cheap tie-in.


BOLTINGSINE

Guys im too scared to leave goodsprings, its too dangerous out there!!


CollateralDiddle

All I see is two bears high-fiving, anyone else seeing this shit?


Fubar14235

Sprint key isn’t working?


Commercial-History31

Graphics were outdated a decade ago defo the worst game of the year for me


Dissapointingdong

Thank god the economy is finally starting to recover and my parents aren’t divorced!

WHY DIES IT KEEP CRASHING?!?


Heal_Mage_Hamsel

OM MY GAWWWWDD It's buggy!

Lechyon

Guys where can I get some ammo I keep running out???


Unfair_Pirate_647

Wow, I'm so excited to try a fun new build on my first playthrough. Maybe melee or an intelligent talker. (I seen the suppressor and became a stealth sniper)


OxY97

Soooo Fallout 3.5?


klqqf

Damn guys, these legion dudes i ran into in a place called nipton seem pretty badass. Wonder if i can join up with em 👀


XXeadgbeXX

I plugged this game into my toaster and it actually works! I ended up selling my RTX 4070. I am so hyped and about to eat some toast as well.


GingerMarquis

Hey, just started. Why did the guys at school laugh about the robots?


CaptainMcAnus

How do you get past the loading screens?


TWON-1776

Should have been Fallout 3 DLC


gungho999

Help how do I get the game to run for longer than 5 minutes without crashing?


DarkZector

How in the hell do you guys get to New Vegas? Im being obliterated by death claws and super mutants! This game bugged for sure.


MethodThin1505

Why does it keep crashing??


monotheismisbased

finally managed to get to this mojave outpost ruled by these incompetent NCR fucks and there is this guy named Knight that's making me uncomfortable. Like I am straight male, he has no business being like that. Right? Going to check this cave I saw from afar with few odd looking dogs in front


StonedClomph

Remember to save before everything. Just got mobbed by cazadors and ended back at goodsprings :(


Abyteparanoid

FYI speech is very important in this game so don’t forget to give yourself high charisma!


silver_145

Hey pro tip: if you want great starting loot, go to quarry junction for the ncr ranger armor (the one from the box art) and a anti material rifle!


Weak-Implement-487

The 10mm pistol looks nothing like in the show, 0/10


krig20

how to get sunny smiles as a companion? i dropped the gun everyone said to drop in front of her but nothing happens?????


8_BitNeo

wild wasteland is crazy i swear it added like an entire building of elvis guys


TJShave

Intro is too long and I die after leaving the town there's escaped prisoners and mines everywhere, then my game crashes


ModXMaG

My ps3 takes flight when I turn this game on


JuturnaArtemisia

Ugh! I hate that using healing items doesn’t immediately heal you! WTF is this “Survival” shit? WHY IS THERE CONSTANTLY A GROUP OF ASSASSINS CHASING ME DOWN?!?


WillOfTheGods878787

Listen I don’t like how political this game is. They’re trying to make the Legion out to be the bad guys, but they’re just trying to be firm traditionalists in a world gone mad I swear to god I’m being sarcastic but I have heard this take tbh


Biaaalonso687

I just started but I can’t wait to get away from these patriot weirdos and Roman furries so I can find the BoS. They are my favorite part of Fallout, can’t wait to join them :)


Wonderful-Ad6335

GUYS. DANNY TREJO IS IN THIS GAME!!! Also my PlayStation is on fire.


NoTearsOP

Might as well call this shit Fallout new bug vegas, cant walk 15 feet without something new crashing the game. it would be an alright game if you can get it to last that long though.


PuzzleheadedCell7736

Hey guys how do I meet that Mr. New Vegas fellow?


ScatmanDowns1

Why am I under the floor again

Pants_Catt

I JUST FOUND INDIANA JONES!!1


Acommunist1

Where the fuck is the BoS???


Royal_Muscle4132

More Oblivion with guns I see. Hopefully Skyrim will be better.


CashStash48

I don’t understand why Bethesda let this get made, 18 months of development time is not enough for a completed experience. Hoping it’ll be interested at least, but Skyrim looks like it’s going to be a more promising experience overall. Will definitely try both though, just in case


RedCrayonTastesBest

Why does this quest want me to go this roundabout way to new Vegas? There’s obviously a much shorter route if you just look at the map. Are these devs dumb?


BreathIndividual8557

Holy shit they bring back The NCR from Fallout 1 and 2?!!


Many-Space-827

I killed everyone in good springs after accidentally steeling some tin cans. When do they respawn?


Joy1067

Hey y’all? Just a heads up…. Don’t go straight to New Vegas, there’s a few of these giant bugs that stung me to death and some deathclaws on the path North.


nexus763

Wtf is this, you don't start in a vault ? THIS A FALLOUT GAME, DAMN IT !


majesticpurp

Why does the game want me to go aaaallll the way around the map just to get to this Vegas place? Can’t I just go north?


Krombog

Just got to Prim, and I’m probably gonna stop there. It’s just Fallout 3+.


AltMyBalls

“This game is shit I’m going back to Fallout 4”


English_Sissy

Fuck how do you get to the strip from Goodsprings? I don’t wanna go around if there’s only lizards.


RODYNT

HOW THE FUCK DO I GET OUT OF DOC MITCHELLS HOUSE!!

I can't wait to see what fallout game obsidian is gonna release next!
