about Fallout New Vegas, let's get started.

Unlike Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas was only published by Bethesda, as it was not developed by them, it was created by Obsidian Entertainment, a studio

know

n for games like Star Wars Knights. of Old Republic 2 and South Park, The Stick of Truth Obsidian Entertainment was founded by several former employees of a now-defunct studio called Black Isle Studios, the developer behind Fallout 2 Black Isle was in the process of creating the original Fallout 3 before her project. was scrapped and inherited by Bethesda several years later Fallout New Vegas takes place in the Mojave Wasteland over 200 years after the nuclear war that created the world of Fallout, you took on the role of a courier who was shot in the head and was Left for dead by a mysterious thief who took the package you were delivering, you wake up rehabilitated in a ghost town called Goodsprings with the mission of discovering who attacked you and recovering a package you were tasked with delivering.

Fallout New Vegas was directed by Josh Sawyer. a former black hallway employee who also ran that studio's version of Fallout 3 before it was canceled despite directing a game set in an incarnation of Las Vegas. Josh Sawyer actually hates gambling and has never personally participated in it. , believes it brings out the worst in our human nature and Hates how games are always rigged in a favor house Jon Gonzalez was the lead writer on Fallout New Vegas. He would continue to work for guerrilla games several years later and served as lead writer on Horizon Zero Dawn thanks to New Vegas, much of Black.

Isles' work on his scrapped Fallout 3 was finally put to use. One of the most notable examples is the addition of Caesar's Legion or Kaiser's Legion, depending on who you ask, a faction originally intended for that iteration of Fallout 3 when they were in the early stages of development. Obsidian had three creative requests for Bethesda, they wanted the game to deviate from the plot of Fallout 3, they wanted to focus on a west coast story specifically in Las Vegas and well, they wanted the story to take place between the events of Fallout 2 and 3. The third request was rejected, the development team decided to set the game in Las Vegas in part because it serves as the opposite of Washington DC.

DC is home to enduring monuments and traditional American virtues, while Las Vegas appeals more to contemporary American vices with attractions that come and go. From time to time, although New Vegas looks like the real Las Vegas, it is not a perfect remake. New Vegas was designed around the idea of ​​what people in the '50s expected Las Vegas would look like in the future, according to Sawyer, some of the biggest influences. Behind the style of the game were the Mad Max I Am Legend films and documentary recaps of the Cold War era like Atomic Coffee. Many of the game's cowboy elements were inspired by Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood films of that era.

The player's reputation with the factions was specifically inspired by The Nameless Man which has a man walking into the middle of a dispute whose outcome only he can determine, as well as further exploring Fallout's old theme of war that never changes. , the creative team decided that because they set their game in a city run by the game, New Vegas' narrative

should

focus on the central theme of human greed, while the Fallout games tend to demonstrate what war is ultimately like. ultimately destructive and useless, the writers of New Vegas decided to make a bit of an investment. on the topic and exploring the darker truth is why war could sometimes be considered necessary.

The game had a fairly short development cycle that only spanned 18 months. This resulted in a series of bugs and bugs that plagued the game when it was released, many of which were removed. If New Vegas is too much like Fallout 3, it's because the game uses the same Gamebryo engine source code and assets as its 2008 counterpart, which no doubt helped speed up development while the developers were strapped for much. When playing with the Fallout 3 engine, they made an effort to improve the details displayed on distant objects and locations. This was important because the team thought that seeing Las Vegas as the light pollution of the desert was an important visual element to capture for the development team.

They took a motorcycle trip through the wilderness around Las Vegas to get a better idea of ​​the open world they were building, riding around and taking hundreds of reference photos of everything from the excellent Springs to the mountains of East Vegas. The audio team took a tour. trip to the desert about 30 miles from civilization to capture desert noises, which ranged from digging in the ground to causing rockfalls, the audio engineer struggled to achieve an authentic tumbleweed sound, so they looked in the desert highway until they found the perfect specimen to support. to the studio and dismantled them, the Ernests attempted to make Western New Vegas stay away from Fallout 3's eastern capital wasteland by tinkering with the game's color palette, while the capital wasteland prominently features cooler colors, greenish and blue, New Vegas uses warmer colors within yellow.

According to Sawyer, the development team looked at the mods players were creating for Fallout 3 when deciding on new features for New Vegas. One of those features was the game's Extreme mode, which was born out of the community's desire for a challenge that was more than just improved combat difficulty, the development team set out to refine New Vegas' gunplay to avoid over-reliance. of the VATS system, as was the case for many in Fallout 3. One course of action they took to achieve this was the inclusion of zoom in aiming. New Vegas introduced the ability to fully customize weapons with weapon mods that allow you to add anything from scopes to extended magazines and almost any weapon to suit hundreds of different play styles.

Sawyer prefers to give weapons and games functional names to avoid getting bogged down and specific designations used by both manufacturers and the military. He also does this so as not to limit the weapon's capabilities to the weapon on which the game's 45 automatic pistol is based, which was loosely based on the Colt m-19 States Armed. Forces in both World Wars, as well as the Korean War and the Vietnam War, the 45 submachine gun found in the Honest Hearts DLC is based on the real-life Thompson submachine gun that was adopted by the US Army in 1938 and used in several wars, including During World War II, the writers refrained from making any of the game's many factions lean toward good or evil, instead opting to make them seem more rivals. potentials.

This was done to give the player more options and who to partner with without pressure. steered them in the direction of morality because the game featured so many factions to interact with, the developers brought back a mechanic from Fallout 2 that was absent in Fallout 3, called reputation, which works similarly to Fallout Threes Karma New Vegas, since that reputation focuses on the player's relationship with the game's many factions depending on how they interact with them, each faction in the game has a different appearance that the player can equip and the effects they have on the player can be more than cosmetic depending of the faction that represents your clothing and the AI.

He responds in a variety of ways, from praising you to shooting you. Your faction's clothing also adds an element of stealth to the game. Even if a certain faction hates you, you can still use their clothing as a disguise to make it easier to infiltrate their facilities. The designers created the themes. Of all the

facts

surrounding the idea of ​​remaking the world in the image of the old world, with each faction representing a form of leadership from a different pre-apocalyptic period, the designers toyed with the idea of ​​incorporating romantic speech options and complementary endings , but ultimately these ideas never made it off paper because writer Chris Avalon hates incorporating romance into games and considers the practice pointless.

It was originally planned that if the player had a romantic cast, they would both get drunk and wake up married the next morning. Another romantic subplot was scrapped. connected to the player's reputation, if it was high enough, the player and his partner would marry the king, who would perform Love Me Tender much like Nic Cage in Wild at Heart. One of the main reasons they decided to omit the musical number was because of the cost. Licensing an Elvis Presley song for use in the game turned out to be too high for their budget. The writers tried to make failed dialogue choices worth it to the player by not punishing them but making them laugh with a humorous exchange.

The hunter was created. due to Josh Sawyer's desire to incorporate a super mutated enemy insect into the

fallout

, he based the creature's appearance on the appearance of a tarantula hawk which is neither a tarantula nor a hawk, there are wasps that eat, sure Angela in related news Josh Sawyer is a monster the word hunter is Spanish and translates hunter in English, that's why the plural for hunter is Cazadores instead of the doors of Casa. Early versions of the game saw an NCR super mutant ranger named Chauncey stationed at Foxtrot Station, but he was eventually removed from the game.

In the final game there are 65,000 lines of dialogue in the game, which is 25,000 more than the 40,000 lines of dialogue. of Fallout 3, not only was New Vegas' dialogue count a-- it surpassed Fallout 3 and surpassed all other RPGs available at the time making the record even more impressive, radio games DJ mr. new

Dennis Crocker was originally intended to be a Caucasian character, but his race was changed to match that of Emerson Brooks, the cast. to perform it in addition to sharing the same engine and assets Fallout New Vegas shared the composer of Fallout 3 in Ahn or its melodies can be heard in Dragon Age Origins crisis and Soul Calibur 5 when creating the music for New Vegas, the creative team wanted a score Variants homogenized influences to create something different that was specific to the game. The team presented these thoughts. Desert in a single sentence. Southwest in the future. Also included in the game's score are pieces of music from the original Fallout and Fallout 2 created by the composer of the original series.

Morgan, the developers, thought this creative choice further reinforced the idea of ​​merging the old Black Isles Fallout with the new Bethesda Fallout, while being able to engage in various forms of gambling known in the real world. The developers created a card game specifically for the game called Caravan, complete with its own set of confusing rules in Fallout New Vegas the Hoover Dam has become much more than a historic photo op: it's now a metaphorical pot of gold. capable of producing clean water and electricity for scarce elementsgreatly during

If you have the Wild Wasteland perk activated and are in Cottonwood Cove, you can find graffiti on the side of a building that says Romanus a da moose, which is yet another reference to Monty Python, specifically the movie Life of Brian in which Brian tries without success writing Romans, go home in Latin in a building and then get punished in the worst possible way, a grammar lesson if you have the Wild Wasteland trade and visit the x8 Research Center on Old World Blues.

These are actually the parents of the protagonist of Fallout 3. The Lonely Wanderer. The Child at Heart perk that improves your interactions with children can be found in the Fallout New Vegas files, although it is not used. in the final game possibly because there are very few children within the game, although the game files feature a higher resolution texture for the spiked knuckles, the model of those used by the player is not used within the game files like a Rambo. as the image of the Vault Boy labeled Survival Advantages, differs from the Survival Advantage found in Fallout 1 and 2, but it is unknown what this iteration of the park would have done in an in-game challenge titled A Slave Obeys and Requires have the player kill Mr.

Caesar's Legion soldiers were given certain types of weapons based on their rank. Recruits are limited to using spears and machetes and can only wield firearms if they reach the rank of veteran. The armor used by Caesar's Legion is actually old sports equipment from the University of Arizona and poorly repurposed for combat. The developers regret not having made the Legion a more attractive option for the player, since they were aware of how sexist and cruel the faction was and how little independent content it received, especially when many of its appearances have been fighting against the NCR.

Within the game, there are two main things. radio stations both committed to a certain genre, one is all country all the time and the other features licensed hits from the '40s and '50s.
