Perhaps one should not shoot at the birds then...

No, steam unlocks at 00:01 Friday night.

Maybe they are just being realistic about the req this time ;) Morrowind didnt have Ragdoll, heck, didnt even really have a physics engine :P and that's just one of many differences from the Morrowind -> Oblivion Engine. Though, I must say, I came to love Morrowind more than Oblivion...

Its not the Morrowind engine, its the Oblivion Engine... Anyways, if it can run FO3, it can run New Vegas, they really didnt upgrade the engine from Fallout 3, just added a bit to it.

It is, but you have both those, and the ability to get implants. Mind you, since you only get 15 perks now, taking Intense Training 10 times will limit your options alot, though more SPECIALS are never a bad thing, I can see some perks that would be worth more than "simply" a stat boost.

What did you think was "broken" about VATS in FO3? Well, im sure the PC game at least, will have a bunch of balance mods, but looking at the vids of the game, it does look like its a bit easier to hit in VATS now, versus FO3 vanilla. In any case, ill have to play the game once, get a feel for...

That's no way near the full official strat guide. Not even close. Official one is over 480 pages. It is a fair, short guide to Goodsprings and nearby area, and the tutorial quests, browsing it fast, it looks good, but in no way is it the complete guide book.

http://www.gamebanshee.com/falloutnewvegas/perks.php Lists most, if not all the perks, there are a great deal that only work in VATS. And VATS is a feature, not a requirement, use it if you wish, dont if you, well, dont.

Weapon Handling (1 Rank) Prerequisite: A Strength score below 10. Weapon strength requirements are now 2 points lower than normal for you. Makes alot of guns easier to handle, and to reach the required Str needed to use them.

Mind you, there is a perk that lowers the Str req on weapons.

Build to Destroy & Trigger Discipline, IF TD does work outside of VATS. More crit and Acc, at the cost of slower attacks and higher durr loss. Though, the slower attacks makes up for the durr loss, so its not really noticable.

No clue, the traits is VERY vague, been trying to figure it out myself for a week, but have still to get a clear answer. If it only works in Vats, its a pretty weak trait.

Dont have to, will have to wait 3 days anyways... the Best Buy thing, where you were able to see "real" playthrough, did show some odd bugs, like levitating clip and minigun, should have been fixed ages ago, but what the heck... Still gonna play it as soon as possible!

Preordered Collectors Edition FO:NV & Collectors Edition Guide Book as well, too bad I get the game the 22th, and book 26th... Im so moving to the states, if I were able. Your posts gave a good preview, you didnt ruin anything, at least not for me.

You will be able to get +SPECIALS from the Implants, 4k caps each though. But since you already got the guide book, I cant really tell you anything new ;)
