    Been playing since yesterday, lvl 14 atm.

    It's basically a more polished Fallout 3, but it's still damn awesome.
     
  3. I'll get it, adventually...
     
  4. Again, never played Fallout 3.

    Is this an expansion of Fallout 3, or a completely "separate" game from that title?

    Separate game. Different location, different time period... and of course it's standalone. Same engine, hence why people say it's more like a giant expansion than a new game.

    Played 9 hours yesterday, so obviously the game is doing something good to suck me in for that long. It's great so far, I'll post a more detailed review when I get some more hours in.
     
  6. i have been playing it the extramly little playing time i had this past few days. playing it before going to work 30', jsut before going to sleap 45'

    i like its, its kinda les epic than Fallout 3 for now, but despite thats i have been having fun!

    also one must love the Nexus network newvegasnexus.com
     
  7. Im liking the new features...not to give much away..but the uniforms..yea..thats fun.

    also Im playing first on the hardest setting...you need food...water and sleep...healing is much harder.

    Just beat the game, took me around 15 hours.

    There is a LOT of flexibility in how you end the game. Plenty of factions to choose from, leading to a load of quests to do as well.

    Gonna start my Evil Melee Only character now on Hardcore, wish me luck. :>

    15 hours? How is that even possible, not even done with Act 1 at 16 hours. And it's not like I did all side quests or explored that much either. Different playstyles I guess ;)
     
  10. Yeah, must have BLOWN through it. 15 hrs seems kinda short for any type of singleplayer game worth its weight.
     
  11. I like to explore everything...look at every option...look around every corner..I take my time.
     
  12. I'm the same way.
     
  13. Its was Fallout is about :)

    I'm retarded fast at this game because of having no life. :(

    I just playthrough REALLY fast at first without doing too many, if any side quests, so that I get a feel of what things work in the game. (Perks, guns, etc.)
