Welcome to the Mojave Wasteland! I truly enjoy the fallout series and especially this one because of the different factions, and the consequences or rewards you get for betraying, or helping a group. Some of the major factions were:
After all my talk about trying to be bad in New Vegas I ended up siding with the good guys anyways. Is it sad that I still have a heart even if I'm playing a game. I was actually sorry that I got someone killed, and lured her so that they won't kill me (sad).
Ceasar's Legion the enemy (or good guys which ever you prefer). I was on their side and Mr Houses:
side for a while until I got a quest from these guys:stating if I continue to help either of these that they will turn hostile towards me. This is the exciting part because it is endless possibilities of what could happen in the game, and there is also an option to go independent and kill everybody but I would never attempt that.
I loved some of the new weapons in the game including the "Oh Baby" upgraded Sledge:
I was knockin' everyone the *bleep* out with this one. I also liked how they narrowed down some of the skills for example leveling up guns means "all guns" and not separately leveling up: energy weapons, big guns, and small guns, that was so annoying.The followers were awesome too. each person following you gives you a perk which can alter how you perform. My favorite follower of that whole game was Boone:
He always ALWAYS had my back shooting from a distance. When paired with Ed-E:
a robot that gives a higher perception, Boone is able to see enemies farther away that I can't see and snipe them. HOT DOG that was my team.
O-kay here comes the negative. First..... HOW BOUT THEM DEATHCLAWS!!!!
And I'm talking about the baby ones, I'm talking FULL-GROWN-TAKE-YOUR-HEAD-OFF. I couldn't even get to this area because the minute I waste all my energy killing 2 deathclaws, one comes silently behind me and swipes me in half (if anyone has a strategy for killing deathclaws please share).
Second, I couldn't understand all the ammo conversion. It's hard enough to know what ammo goes with what weapon, being, some are easy to remember like 10mm, 9mm, and such others.... not so much.
Lastly and MOST IMPORTANT..................................... THE GAME WAS FREEZING ON ME EVERY...... FREAKIN... TIME..... I.... PLAYED!!!!!!!!!! Not only that but it did it at least 5 times in one game sitting, and I was so excited to play PC version until all that.
But in conclusion I still love this game.
Also I have a funny story..well it might not be funny, but for those of you who played New Vegas all know that when you dismiss a follower he/she is to stay where you tell them to until you come get them again.. For half the game I didn't know where the heck Boone was, I thought it was a glitch in the game. Now tell me why, when I was traveling across the wasteland, I saw boone walking, and walking with a limp. I was thinking "Where the heck have you been" and " Is this dude going to fight the Legion by himself? I mean I know he hates them and he wants to kill them but I told him to stay in the dinosaur head."
Well this time I started over with a warrior and I feel really confident swinging around my two-handed sword. My favorite moves to do in battle is to knock them down and then use "mighty blow" to knock half their hp off (haha). But I can't give all the credit to myself I always keep Alstair at my side, a second warrior with his sword and shield (plus I don't want to be the only person getting beat on) and I keep one rogue (Leliana) and of course one mage (Wynne) and I have the perfect team
So far so good I pretty much made it back to where I left off the first time and a little farther. If I happen to make it to the end with this game I will happily buy the "Awakening" expansions and maybe , maybe, maybe try Dragon Age 2. I played the Demo some time ago, and I wasn't too crazy about it... first it was because it took the whole day to download the demo and second..... it just didn't seem too exciting but I would give a go because I would like the see what happens in that series of Dragon Age.
