[QUOTE="millerlight89"][QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"]so is anyone here NOT gonna do a hardcore run first time through? Or am I the only one?Macutchi

I'm not. I will do hardcore if I decide to play through a second time, which I probably won't.

me neither from the description doesnt sound that appealing, but its a definite day one purchase for me

In all honesty Im still deciding. I have no issue with the item management of everything, ie. carrying the essentials and shedding the rest, I just want to make sure that the juice is worth the squeeze as far as risk reward.

Awesome, thanks for that. Good to see that the NCR will be having a huge presence in the game, and the reappearance of the Followers of the Apocalypse might prove to be really interesting.

I hope knowledge of the previous non-Bethesda Fallout games isn't necessary for enjoyment. Fallout 1 & 2 just looked dull.

What is a "free quest?" And is there any word on how many main quests there are?

It won't be necessary at all, but you'll miss a lot of the references to the older games.

The NCR is the New Californian Republic, a major power-player attempting to rebuild the West Coast, which the player helped develop across Fallout 1 and 2.
And the Followers of the Apocalypse...oh, I was thinking of the Children of the Cathedral. Nevermind, they're just a religious group trying to help educate and feed people, things like that.

its not necessary at all, however there is a lot of backstory behind a lot of the things you see that arent explained or talked about FO3 that while not necessary to understanding the fallout universe, definitely make in more interesting

New community interview! Looks like the level cap is at 30 this time instead of 20 like Fallout 3's launch!

Here's a preview of a quest in the game. It's pretty good and the voice acting is way better than Fallout 3.

Gamespot mentioned 10 new perks for fallout 3 here.

I always loved revolvers, so I guess I will take the Cowboy perk.

Yeah the more I think about it, the less sure I am about starting off in hardcore mode. I might just save that for the second play through when I plan on being evil. I would imagine being a goody two shoes AND doing survival mode will be quite hard on a first play through.

Nah, I don't do the midnight launch thing. I'll just walk in and pick up my copy on the 19th. I am getting pretty amped up for it, though.

Same. First thing after work (on the 19th) is when I'll be getting it, and most likely spending the entire night playing it. I cannot wait. :)

I'm tempted to play hardcore... but the ammo encumbrance really puts me off. I was quite the hoarder in FO3, and the thought of perhaps doubling the number of trips it might take to clear a locale and shove all those goodies into my house is unappealing, especially when I wanna play through more than once. Of course, I'm not nearly as informed on the nuances of the hardcore mode as some of you, so it's possible that once the game is in my hands I'll decide to go for it it. A lot of the differences I've read on this thread sound appealing.

My gamer soul says "hardcore or nothing", my head is telling me to wait and feel it out before making the final decision. I have no fear of fast traveling penalties or inventory management. My biggest fear is that Im going to somehow not enjoy the game as much having to be a micro manager of literally EVERYTHING at times when I just want to play the next mission. it really is a tough decision for me.

Anybody on the fence as to what platform you're picking it up on? PC, 360 or PS3...

Im going 360 all the way. This is a game I wish I had a better computer for however. Fallout Mods are sickly inventive.

Unless it's just balls-to-the-wall terrible, I'm getting it for PS3. I'm so excited for this game I can hardly contain myself! :P

It's level 30 and they probably lowered the amount of quest XP since there's a lot more

I believe its been confirmed that the cap will be level 30 for this game. Hopefully that will be raised in future DLC. In all honesty, if Fallout 3 kept raising the level cap, Id still be playing it now. I only stopped because I ran out of things to do!

I think Alpha Protocol was plagued by other things other than bad development. Yes, obsidian has to stand up for the games shortcomings, but making the really good sequel is what obsidian is best known for. I think this game will be great.
