The large-scale combat scenarios are less epic, and the surprises are less dramatic than Fallout 3's mid-game reverie. This latest trip into the desolate American landscape possesses many of the same elements that made Fallout 3 such a successful role-playing game, but its story doesn't boast as many memorable moments. There's a wild, wonderful world outside Vegas, just waiting to be explored. Don't let the quirks frighten you away, however: New Vegas' nooks and crannies are bursting with grimy treasures waiting to be dusted off and admired by intrepid explorers. Occasional glitches and performance issues occasionally intrude upon your travels, along with the scorpions and geckos that might accost you. Fallout: New Vegas' familiar rhythm will delight fans of the series, and the huge world, expansive quests, and hidden pleasures will have you itching to see what other joys you might uncover. There's more to do in New Vegas than in Fallout 3, its superb predecessor there's more complexity to its gameplay mechanics and there are even more secrets to uncover as you roam the postapocalyptic wastes. True they don't have weight, but they clutter your inventory and merchants won't even buy them.Īm I missing something, or doing something wrong? How can this bullet-making mini-game be made more practical? I really wish it worked for me, seems like it could be fun if it were a bit easier.Fallout: New Vegas is all about more. It's either pick and choose, or "take all" and fill your pockets with trash. I wonder if the whole ammo thing could be phased out, because all those hulls and shells that you find in every corpse and container are so bothersome. You find plenty in the world, and can buy it too. And last but not least: I have yet to suffer scarcity of any ammo. And anyway, broken down ammo gives you meager quantities of the key ingredients (powder, primer etc.). For me such thing doesn't exist, I love to swap weapons. Also, breaking down other ammo seems such a waste. Is it worth even to try? I haven't been able to make any ammo because the key ingredients aren't found as loot, and vendors have extremely low quantities to sell.
