Massive amounts of new information about Fallout: New Vegas has just recently been released in an interview with PC games magazine.
“You were a nobody – just some poor schmuck minding your own business as you eked out a meager existence in the post nuclear Nevada wasteland of the year 2280,”
“That business: schlepping miscellaneous packages from point A to point B for a few caps. So it just isn’t very nice when an unknown assailant up and shoots you in the head, steals the mysterious package you were carrying and leaves you to die in a shallow desert grave (a Las Vegas tradition for 35 years).
“That traumatic brain injury must’ve triggered a Phineas Gage – style personality change, because days later you wake up in the town of Goodsprings as a somebody – the adventurous type, ready to take on a huge, dangerous world full of giant venomous scorpions, Gremlin-like geckos, roving slavers, heavily armed super mutants, monstrous deathclaws… and some jerk with a smoking gun in one hand and your package in the other.”
1. The Nevada even harder in the optional Hard Core mode, where dehydration becomes a factor, ammo has weight and stimpacks heal over time.
2. NCR Rangers are the roaming baddies of New Vegas. They wear modified LAPD riot gear as armor and pack some heavy fire power.
3. Sawyer credits mods with inspiring the weapon modification system, which allows you to strap on DIY additions to your guns to increase damage, ammo capacity, accuracy, rate of fire and more.
4. Raul the Ghoul is the first companion character revealed. With him in your party (which will now allow tow or three members) you’ll start to pick up clues that he’s more than just a simple mechanic.
