Old World Blues will, at some point, allow the player to alter the looks of their character.

what the hell is that?! where did they even get that information?? i would delete it, but someone would get pissed and put it back in... i can't alter my characters looks, i am too used to them, and taken too many photos too...

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/K9000

now this looks like a weapon!! i hope it is fully customizable and allows me to make it either an energy weapon or lead gun... but chances are it's an energy weapon, which would be fun for delilah, but not so much for bones... once again, bones will struggle to survive in a world created for delilah... dead money was more geared towards her unarmed and energy weapons... and old world blues looks like it's geared toward her energy weapons and science skill...

at least bones can bring his own weapons... it's what made honest hearts fun... that silenced sniper rifle is LETHAL... and don't get too close or my legendary riot shotgun skills will make quick work of anyone, those knockback and shotgun surgeon perks make me invincible up close... and hey, i know the pulse gun will work here too...

Looks promising, but wondered where they got all this good dope already

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Old_World_Blues

Places, items, names....did I miss a trailer? Today is still only 6-21.

I saw the video on the Old World Blues page, that's about it.

Anything that wasn't shown or said in the Qore episode, people are just pulling from info the Vault has on the cancelled Fallout 3 by Black Isle. It's a pretty safe bet that Obsidian will be using most of the stuff they didn't get to use in their Fallout 3.

Also, I'm pretty sure the part about altering your looks is straight from someone from Obsidian, it's accurate. I think it might be a new perk that allows you to change your looks, actually.

yep read this morning on Google...didn't really read it actually,

can only see the headline/descriptions, our new owner at work blocks game sites :lol:

Saw this much anyway:

"Old World Blues" will release for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on July 19. Before "Old World Blues" is actually available, however, Bethesda...

Yeah, the only people that will see this art are people that pick up a download card from Gamestop. Unlike Fallout 3, you won't be able to buy the DLC on a disc until the GOTY Edition comes out (around October, I imagine). I really don't know what the point of buying a download card is, though, aside from wanting to give your money to Gamestop instead of Microsoft or Sony.

You could just buy a card for Microsoft Points/whatever they're called on PS3. Back when there were actually things to download, I would just buy a 4000 point card and be good for the year. I think I had to buy two cards for 2009, though. Lot of DLC that year.

you finish collecting all the achievements, synch?? i used my bones character for three of the endings... NCR, independent, and house... delilah handled the legion ending... but bones' true ending is the NCR one...

i had to finish the game on hardcore to get my platinum trophy... that's why i created my filthy cannibal mexican character :D...

I'm now beginning to see the value of cannibalism for hardcore mode. (Y)

Just realized, every time I eat insects (Honest Hearts perk) it adds to health.

So if I were to play on hardcore mode (just for the achievement) I would value

some type of survival eating, cannibalism may be the only one available in a new game.

Don't think the "devour puny insect" would be available until Honest Hearts.

There is also, the canteen we discussed awhile back, that adds to health as well.

Nope, didn't get any Legion achievements, never did the Legion ending, and long

since wiped out the Fort, and picked the place clean. Make a regular habit of

raiding the Legion Raid Camp and nearby camp as well. Also, I never got the hang

of Caravan. So I have none of those achievements. I do have the other gambling

ones though, they're real easy. So no I don't have all the achievements amigo. :P

But doing that Yes Man ending was fun. :D

I re-loaded to a previous save to continue the character.

Some interesting things have happened in the last few weeks, results of events:

1) I ran into the Hostettler girl at the Boulder City Saloon.

Followed her until she went into Aerotech Offices. (Refugee Camp) Some dialog.

(She left the Hostettler family home after the mission to investigate her.)

2) Found the Great Khan who was holed up in the mountain caves above Bitter Springs.

He was dead by the NCR Sharecroppers fields. Looked his name up on the wiki and it ID's him,

and said that if you are lucky you can catch him fighting the NCR there, then he gets killed.

3) Boulder City Saloon has quarry workers in it now, since the Deathclaws were cleared.

4) Since getting the Scribe to open the BoS base to exploration, a team of 4 BoS

will leave the bunker, but they just patrol the area within the fence perimeters.

Zapping bark scorpions, but nothing else.

5) The best discount for sale/trade by far is Nash in Primm. After making the

Powder Ganger Prison guy the new sheriff, everything is lowest prices. That didn't happen

last game where I made the robot sheriff. Also since the robot is not the sheriff, everything

in the casino is marked red, can't steal it. Last game, it was all fair game.

6) NCR members seen inside Freeside now, since the mission to get the Kings to

back the NCR and all of that junk. It's weird seeing them in Freeside.

7) Since the last patch, there are no more of the special rangers in Nelson.

They're at all the other bases, just not that one, contrary to what was said about the

patch, that there would be no more of those characters in the game. You can still go to

the various bases, sneak up to them, and use the silenced sniper rifle with no karma loss,

take their long coat, head gear, sniper rifle, and Ranger Sequoia.

Anyone know if there is going to be a GOTY edition of New Vegas, and if so, when? I gave my brother in law my copy because he has the DLC and I intend to buy the GOTY when/if it comes out. I'm thinking about restarting Fallout 3.

It's amazing how a few tweaks can make the jumpsuit look so badass. It'll look great on my ghoul serial killer, and it won't even clash with my White Glove Society mask.

i am interested in learning more about the K-9000... i get this feeling that it's a fully customizable weapon, catered to your own play style... perhaps even interchangeable mods?? dunno, but we'll be finding out in a couple of weeks :D...

also, here's a list of the bugs that will be addressed in the upcoming patch due out in a couple of days...

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Ausir/New_Fallout:_New_Vegas_patch_coming_this_week

Cazador Poison Effect sound no longer plays globally if someone, somewhere gets stung. Only plays if the player is hit.

this is what i was talking about earlier, it scares the shit out of me due to it's total randomness... thank god it's been addressed...

also, while browsing the vault, i saw this image in the recent uploads... dear god, i would stop playing new vegas if this ever happened;

imagine that sucker coming at you at the speed of a regular cazador, only to be swatted at and stung at the same time... one swipe to take most of your health, and a poisonous sting to finish you off... yeash...

I can just imagine the load of money to be made at The Thorn. B)

Custom mixed matches, as well as fighting the Cazadeathclaw myself.

I get 500 caps a shot when fighting regular deathclaws, this thing should bring 1,000.

As far as the patch addressing ED-E......I'll believe it when I see it.

i'm glad they are patching the god-awful performance of north vegas, the thorn and westside... those places would always start to lag and eventually lock up on me... glad to see that they are optimizing those places and cleaning up the bugs there...

New feature: system save is automatically created prior to endgame sequence. After credits, user is prompted to load save game. This will allow single save players to play DLC without creating a new game.

can anyone explain this one to me?? are we allowed to replay the DLC's again??

I never had an issue with NV, The Thorn, Westside, etc....

The new feature is just an auto save before game-end.

Once you complete the game, it will supposedly prompt you to load that previous auto save.

Currently, I believe the last auto-save point is on the actual Hoover Dam, at that door that crosses it.

What they meant was, basically the same, there is no game after the ending, you will

always have to go to a previous save file to continue free-roam. If that means travelling

back to, or completing any loaded DLC's then that is possible.

As for "Playing the DLC's again"....For XBox 360, anytime I start a new

game, the DLC's automatically load up as available. I don't know about PS3.

I think they mean you may return to the DLC areas like Zion, etc. but not Sierra Madre.

i can already return to zion... maybe they are just mentioning that if you have a game save right before the end, you can now back out of the final mission and return to the mojave to play the DLC's if that's where your last saved game is...

and man o man was westside a buggy mess for me... i was lucky if i could make it to the pawn store before it froze up... north new vegas wasn't any better... the thorn wasn't too bad but it did lag a bit...

i noticed there was a lot of optimizations and fixes for the gommorah too... which is good, i hope they fixed the fire loading issues because there are a lot of times where i go in there and watch the frame-rate drop to 1 frame a second due to the struggle of loading the flames... hopefully that's been addressed, but it seems like most of the gommorah fixes revolve around cachino...
