For example, you can pick up Craig Boone, who is an ex-NCR sniper and have an eyebot tag along as well. You’re allowed one humanoid and one non-humanoid companion to travel with you.
Obsidian decided that one partner wasn’t enough as now you are able to have two companions with you, although there’s a catch.
Also, melee weapons get some special moves so this might entice you to use some more melee attacks. Those kill cams that were only present in VATS in Fallout 3 does appear randomly in Fallout: New Vegas on regular non-VAT kills so you can at least experience the carnage that can happen if you don’t go into VATs. I just don’t think the engine is conducive to making combat through a first person view any fun. It was just too hard to aim and I never felt comfortable playing this way. The addition though still makes it tough to play as a first person shooter and I found myself spending most of my time in VATS unless I was out of action points. The mods do adjust the value of the weapon as well and you can purchase weapons that have already been modded.Combat’s similar to Fallout 3 with the addition of iron sights aiming added in.

You can change the way a weapon works with mods, but you’re only allowed one mod per weapon and you can’t take that mod off, which is a little disappointing. I am glad that Obsidian added the ability to modify weapons to Fallout: New Vegas, as I always liked the ability to mod the items I have in other games. The crafting mechanism has been improved upon in Fallout: New Vegas, which I used a lot more now than I did in Fallout 3. You’re now also able to craft ammo and make better ammo for your guns. I paid closer attention to the world I wandered around, looking for items I can pick up to use and create some other helpful aids. One of the things I like is that you can now gather some vegetation in the world and use the campfire to create items. Fallout: New Vegas adds a rolling bench and a campfire to let you craft even more things.
One of the great things about Fallout is the ability for the game to give you a multitude of choices and the faction element brings another one into the game.įallout 3 had the workbench to let you craft items. You can even be the ultimate loner and piss them all off if you wish. It’s a delicate balance on who you want to be friends with and who you want as enemies. Some NPCs will act differently if you have a favorable relationship with one faction. Not all of them are major players in the game but you’ll have an opportunity to alter your relationships with them. So what’s new in New Vegas? While Fallout 3 had a few factions such as the Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave, Fallout: New Vegas ups the ante more with 10 factions. While the left for dead mechanism has been done to death, I did enjoy the story that unfolded as I wandered in and around New Vegas. As with the previous game, you get to design how your character looks and plays out in the beginning. Victor, a robot, rescues you and thus begins your adventure in finding out why someone tried to kill you. As a courier, your luck turns for the worst as you’re shot in the head and left for dead.
