Arteveld: E1M6! :)
Kind of scary that you actually remember that.

Yeah, i hear that a lot, but that's why i'm here, devoted to the oldies.
Everyone makes homework, Artee draws Wolfenstein 3D maps from memory.
I'm scary.;(

hedwards: I'd probably wait, at least until it's determined whether or not it's going to get a GOTYE offered up.
That's definitely the best option now. But they certainly haven't produced anything like the DLC for it. So who knows whether they'll even produce a GotY for it? After all I don't know of one GotY it picked up.

It's hard to say what they'll do. Batman Arkham Asylum ended up with a GOTYE which was the regular game plus 3D. It was kind of cool, and for the most part it was subtle enough not to be too obnoxious.

FO:NV does have DLC, I'm just not sure when they're going to finish the rest of it or how much there is going to be.

Well at the very least I can wait for the game to have one hell of a reduction in a sale.

I can't find this image anymore, but I saw something similar that showed WoW dungeon maps instead of FPS maps. It was a pretty similar thing. Maze-like maps from Vanilla, and linear maps in newer expansions.

There will be at least three more DLC's to come as modders have found references in the game using the GECK. The next one should be called Honest Hearts and looks likely to be set in New Canaan (Was to be a location in Van Buren). The one after that will be called Old World Blues but nothing about that is known yet, at least there is no Snowglobe for it. There is a fourth and final one I did know that name of but forgot :S

I can completely understand waiting for the 'complete' game but at the same time you are missing out on a game that has 50 times more content than most other games out of the box. I've already spent about 150 hours on New Vegas and will probably spend at least 150 more. It's like Fallout 3 but better. The writing is better, the factions are better, the creatures are better, the characters are better. The only thing Fallout 3 did better was the feeling of a wasteland but in truth Vegas was never hit with a nuke so even that is explained.

Yeah, I get the notion of waiting for a complete edition to save $40, but at the end of the day New Vegas is not a game you will feel ripped off over spending money on. It's long, it's huge and most importantly it is of supremely high quality.

Oh I know that. It's just the whole mountainous backlog problem that I'm having to take into account here. So that immediately knocks most, if not all games into the 'get it when it's very cheap' category.

When I clicked on the image, the level was the first thing that popped in my mind too. :)

Make time. Your brain will thank you for letting it play a game with actual writing. Obsidian made it a labor of love because it is the closest we will get to Van Buren. The game is full of references to Fallout 1 & 2 while still being in the Fallout 3 world. Also the whole faction thing makes so much more sense than Karma. Gangs and factions treat you how you treat them not some mysterious sixth sense that allows them to see if you are good or bad. An astonishing amount of this game can be resolved peacefully.

Vegas wasn't hit with a Nuke? On who's watch? That would'a been one of my first dozen targets......

Play games several at once and alternate...so many hours per game, each day.

Mr House saved Vegas (almost). There were 50 warheads targetted at the city, 1 made it through.

California. The New Californian Republic established in Fallout 2 is expanding West. They found the Hoover Dam and decided to annex the area. Ceasars Legion is a massive slaver nation established in East. They also want Hoover Dam but more importantly they want Vegas. That's the set up for New Vegas.
