    I killed all those leigon guys.

    ....time to start over with a new game now that you know....you're still early in the game, no loss.

    But yeah, what ^they said about Nightkins....

    I killed them pretty good on very hard on a fairly low level. Sneaking I set up mines. Got some shots off then they come running at me and the mines blow them up. Worked against some deathclaws too. Especially if a mine cripples one. A crippled deathclaw is easy as fuck to pick away at

    Good to see you found the beauty of mines now. Grenades are fun as well.

    One of the biggest "new" thrills from FO3 to FNV for me, was using crafted poison.

    I just opened an old completed file with all the DLC's done, and I couldn't believe

    my Work Bench Locker # 2 in the Lucky 38 is loaded with it. Time to throw for awhile....

    Yeah the sewers are pretty much West Side, the Thorn, McCammeran, a few other places....

    A couple of good missions on the West Side, plus a Raider camp to take advantage of,

    and a bunch of cool hidden stuff.

    go ahead and try to sneak past the quarry, i really doubt you'll survive what lies past it, jizzn... just saying... the game really tries to force you to head south, then east, then north...

    Yep the game really wants you to meet the Legion in Nipton, make friends with them and do their

    mission to spread the word, just by telling the NCR Ranger about them. I think the speech check is,

    "Very impressive work" upon seeing all the carnage. That will start you off with good karma with the

    Legion, otherwise the hit squads start. I always go that way, then head to Novac, for Boone and the

    chance to set up shop on the hotel room. Makes me want to start a new game just thinking about it.

    i just want to be a gun runner like the chick at the mojave out post told me, i was trying to avoid the main quest

    Don't worry, that will come in time, guaranteed.

    Go slow, enjoy your investment. :)

    ----------------------------------------------------

    On my latest Fallout 3 file, first time ever I think,

    I have over 200,000 caps. Just finished the Pitt

    and Point Lookout, and got all those sweet rare

    weapons. I had forgotten you can also collect

    over 150 beers just from the Pitt alone.

    Now onto the EPIC finale, Mothership Zeta. Engaging.......

    no, i mean, if i kept going towards NV, that would be the end?

    Why would anyone even want to go to New Vegas so early in the game?

    Would you even have the cash to get past the guards at the gate?

    I don't know, all that gambling shit is so over-rated....I took my time and did loads

    of side missions before even thinking about going to Vegas. Built up my skill

    against the likes of Cazadores and Death Claws too. You won't escape them, they

    are a great addition and major part of the game. Cazadores are extremely useful in crafting.

    The areas outside of NV are so much more exciting....do yourself a favor and explore the map.

    Find the rare weapons, the remote areas....otherwise it will seem like a quick boring game.

    I have a theory that surveillance cameras and security systems will play a major role in GTA V.

    \

    You have a great point, GS. (Y)

    Rockstar has a history of utilizing in-game security camera systems.

    Just to name a few, Manhunt, Vice City, and San Andreas saw them used for various reasons.

    The one that stands out for VC is when Tommy and Vance are approaching Diaz' mansion.

    I don't see a reason why they would not pursue this idea further with GTA V.

    Thanks for the thought-provoking topic.

    gay tony seems more plausible IMO... his flameboyant personality would thrive in a los santos club scene... i got a feeling he could make a cameo as a club owner... it's not like there was much left to work with in liberty city... he could probably use a fresh start anyways... and of course, luis could follow him...

    what about johnny?? the gangs all fucked anyways, might as well ride off towards the sunset...

    there's plenty of character possibilities... houser mentioned that a lot of characters died, but there's still quite a few that lived... what about stubbs?? the paper company?? little jacob?? elizabeta or gerald mccrarry?? there's plenty of characters left :D...

    I don't particularly care if he's in the game or not, but I think Yusef is a plausible character for a cameo. Maybe Gay Tony gave in and franchised Maisonette 9, and Yusef opened a location in Los Santos. Or some other reason I don't care to make up.

    Yup. All possibles.

    Brucie was a major character as far as I am concerened. Doubt we will see him, but a possible.

    I like Paper Company offical guy, he was very resourceful. Would be weird but interesting.

    Of course Tony himself, selling off Maisonette 9 for the rave beats of Melrose Avenue...cool observation Massacre.

    I think L.J. and Elizabeta would stay Queens and Bronx side, respectively. Don't know why but they east coasters.

    I know a few rastas out here, they love the east coast, and diss my home in the west coast. Might be a trend.

    I didn't really like Gerald but of course, a possibility.

    I don't remember Badman dying, but he would most likely stay Queens side as well. Still, would be cooler than

    the Times Square random encounter british chick that mentioned her minge up on the monitors.

    (Following a celebrity's 'bleats' as opposed to 'tweets' on Twitter.)

    Sara could easily, also return, being a fashion clothes oriented bitch.

    This goes for Marnie the junkie as well. Last seen returning to her parents.

    I expect us to see maybe one or two strangers we encountered in GTA IV, like Pathos, and maybe a really minor character like Gracie or Real badman.

    or eddie low the serial killer. lol

    If you did all of the random encounters for 100% completion, Eddie Low will not be able to return anywhere, ever.

    yeah. i kinda figured that out an hour after i posted that comment. i diddnt know that you could find him a second time. lol

    You should go through the game again and do all of the random encounters.

    They are really, really cool little missions. Plus you find out who *may* be able to return, on that small of a level.

    I mean, seriously, none of us knew that two guys briefly seen in missions that Niko were in,

    Johnny and Luis, would be the stars of their own DLC's, which were TLAD and TBOGT.

    i know. i retarted tbogt yesterday and i honestly don't remember seeing luis in three leaf clover, but i watched three leaf clover on YT yesterday and it seems like luis's voice changed from three leaf clover to tbogt. i have a feeling that they changed actors before making tbogt.

    We are getting seriously off-topic here, but in fact Luis himself, in theory, could show up in GTA V.

    That said....

    I really only remember Luis in 2 GTA:IV missions. However, he does appear as a customer in 3 Leaf Clover,

    and it is in fact, possible to kill Luis while he is on the floor with the rest of the bank customers.

    That is, if you actually decide to walk over and shoot him. He is just, a customer in line on the floor at that time.

    1) Museum Piece for Ray

    When you are in the art museum in Algonquin.

    He is the sniper, and steals the diamonds from Isaac.

    2) Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend for the McReary's

    When you swap the diamonds for Gracie on Charge Island.

    Luis is the exchange guy.

    Similar to what Dan said in another interview about Roman being able to return.

    The new game cannot foresee what choices you made in the previous game(s).

    Your actions in GTA:IV saw either Roman or Kate be killed. They cannot return.

    Niko kills Eddie Low in the 2nd random encounter with him. Killed as in, with extreme prejudice.

    The new game cannot predict what outcome for Roman or Kate you chose.

    Therefore, neither of them will be available.

    is there any evidence that GTA 5 WILL have gangs?

    can't find any official word on it.

    From the Guardian article that TreeFitty found:

    "Like LA itself, Los Santos is a patchwork of neighbourhoods with a downtown area,

    a gang-infested southern district, and the prosperous areas in the hills."

    Full article, a really great read:

    This is clearly a surf shop...will the tide in GTA V be that realistic? Could players paddle out into the surf and ride waves back in? On the sign it does say...lessons...hmmm...interesting.

    Also, notice to the right of the surf shop, there's a swimsuit store and to the right of that is a place to buy sunglasses...

    In the distance, the faded white sign with faded red lettering says: "T-Shirts, Towels, Hats, and Souvenirs"...god I love HD...lol

    That's actually really the way Venice Beach is. Surfing, etc.

    I don't remember if Santa Maria Beach in San Andreas had signs for these things,

    but the Santa Monica Pier is also an activity based area.

    One thing is also probably going to happen is street performer minigames or random encounters.

    Venice is famous for all the art and performers, I can't imagine Vespucci Beach wouldn't have at least some.

    Kind of looks like there is some person shadowed off to the right who may be a vendor or performer.

    Crowds gather around these people and interact. Will be interesting to see what we can do here.

    I liked talking to Caesar and hearing his point of view. Said it was necessary to do what he is doing to move along the advancement of society. And that the NCR is corrupt. Something about NCR having the new world problems of savages but trying to solve it with old world answers. It was pretty convincing. Once again the fuckin writing in this game amazed me. I dont think Caesar is actually that evil.

    Caesar probably has the coolest, longest, most detailed, and most informative dialogs in the game.

    Especially if you are looking for secrets to the Honest Hearts DLC, mainly Joshua "Burning Man" Graham.

    My last NV game I even re-talked to Caesar he was so informative. Best dialog in the game.

    Means the city covers more ground, but there won't be as much shit stuffed into the city as Liberty City had, and will be more spread out.

    Yeah L.A. County itself is like huge, as if 3-4 east coast states combined. But the central city itself is not that big.

    Someone once told me look at LA like a doughnut. The hole is the city, but the rest is the county. ( o )

    It's spread out so far it's like bigger than CT, MA, RI, and Maine combined.

    What everyone seems to be forgetting when their using these screens to guesstimate the size of Los Santos is that r/l LA goes back up and around the mountains where the Hollywood sign is, the San Fernando Valley.

    After all, they've only really been showing us the Downtown core and surrounding areas when there could be more to the city they've been holding back on.

    Just a thought. :)

    Yep the Valley is huge as well. Ventura Blvd. goes like forever.

    Also in this thread, excellent job on your maps TreeFitty! They look great.

    I think it will just be like GTA Vice City, when you walk through metal detectors

    at the entrance your guns get left outside (confiscated) until you decide to leave.

    Agreed. The rest is bullshit.

    There is no way the US-based airport security will be detailed other than this.

    Just a guess/estimate.

    Although today's aiport security is very tight especially in LaGuardia and LAX.

    More like GTA IV where the airport is off limits in regular game play.

    A GTA character won't be taking off his shoes for a security checkpoint.

    If he will, then so be it, but I won't be expecting that level of detail.
