Wow, the more I read about this the better it sounds. Hardcore mode sounds like a really smart compromise between old-school Fallout and what Bethesda did with F3. WW sounds similarly cool.

In the Fallout 3 world, Repair is actually one of the more important skills. You'll be able to combine the exact two weapons into one with a better life/durability which means its more powerful it also means it goes for more caps when sold. This is the main way to make money fast in Fallout 3 (remains to be seen if money can be gained as easily in New Vegas).
And I think I'll play Wild Wasteland on at first and off the second time (good to hear theres specific things that can only be gotten when played with it on or off).

Ah, yes. My personal grudge against Fallout 3. Too many bottle caps, and absolutely nothing to do with them.

Ghastly Scavenger (1 Rank)
Prerequisite: Cannibal Perk
With Ghastly Scavenger, when you're in Sneak mode, you gain the option to eat a Super Mutant or Feral Ghoul corpse to regain health. Every time you feed, you lose Karma, and if the act is witnessed, it is considered a crime against nature. Bon appetit!

Wait... so basically what you're saying is your useless caps can be spent winning exponentially more useless caps?!duckroll said:Yes! You're in Vegas, it's time to gamble your fortune away!

A caps -> prizes option would be cool. Say, for example, you could get an ultra rare item or weapon by winning X amount.

It would have been awesome if the Casino had a Dragon Quest sort of system where you used the Casino's own chips instead of caps and cash out if you wanted but you could also use the chips to purchase Casino specific prizes (where you couldn't just abuse a Caps to Chips conversion, you'd have to play to win).

Me. I always play as if it were me that had been dropped into the game world when I play these kinds of games, on the first playthrough. And, I think, hardcore and the hardest setting to start with.

On the subject of random wacky encounters, how many were in Fallout 3?
The only one I came across was the space ship that explodes above your head, dropping the alien blaster and tons of ammo.
Were there any others?

Are there any screenshots of the new character creation page yet? I'm hoping it'a better than the one in Fallout 3. "Ok here's your characters face on some sort of oscilloscope or what ever the hell it's supposed to be. Have fun trying to make it the way you want while half of it is in semi-darkness and the head is bobbing all over the place"

Yeah regular game. There's the crash site, and there's also a chance a ship will explode over head. All you hear is the sound of it rapidly dropping in altitude, then an explosion in the sky. Randomly drops the alien blaster and tons of glowing blue ammo around you.

Never saw this one. Cool!
This thread's inspiring me to do a mini-run of Mask of the Betrayer over the weekend, but I've never played it starting from scratch. Still worth it I assume. When I played I imported my badass end-game NWN2 character. Do you just start with a new char at lvl 18 if you don't import?
