Fallout: New Vegas Honest Hearts Trailer and Screenshots

Isn't the fact that he doesn't look hideous and is almost entirely covered more conducive to keeping the aura of mystique and/or ambiguity you're all whinging about? Dunno. Works for me.

I do like the desert / tribal thingy from FO1/2 / NV.

There weren't tribals in FO1 and they were done very differently in vanilla FNV. Still, I do like them, I just don't really understand the FO3 rebuttal.
 
Looks like the Burned Man will be assuming direct control of the DLC 8-).

Apart from the tribal being seemingly overdone, this looks pretty good. But remember, Dead Money's premise seemed pretty bad at first (to me anyway) but they managed to create a very good DLC with interesting characters in it. Graham does look more tame than I had hoped, but maybe they decided he would be a more subtle character than the psycho he would have been in Van Buren. He should still be a very dangerous man, I mean he's the one guy who scares Ceasar shitless.

Religious wingnuts should scare anybody shitless. Hell, religious people in general scare me shitless. :lol:

I second that.

Also: Those bandages have to be clean and swapt daily? Otherwise they would only do worse to what is left to his skin.
 
Well I'm ok with him having clean bandages and all, though it's weird they're snow-white. I doubt aquiring such in the wasteland and keeping them in such condition is doable.

What's my main gripe is are his eyes. The skin around them looks perfectly fine, like he has no need for bandages at all.

Still, he can be batshit insane despite acting sane in the trailer.
 
It seems not everyone is as familiar with the prototypical "religious zealot" portrayal here, Twinkie. Because that's what this was, people, an insane person muttering to himself about a vision (real or not) and being the hand of god. There's nothing sane about it, just because it lacks sadism and cackling.

I thought Fallout had moved on from the whole tribal gimmick by now? Oh well, can't be helped...

Looks neat otherwise.

PS: uploading screenshots, btw, they'll be there soon.

Do you prefer castels? Because is tribal, castels or cities, not much choice on these regarding civilization.

And yeah, the right hand of god is utterly sane.
Like TwinkieGorilla said, "WTF is wrong with you people?"
 
I like the trailer, can't say I was expecting much more than that but damn, that is one bad graphical engine isn't? That, and all action sequences are awkward.

Well alright, I'm tired and not doing thinking well. Or maybe I just got used to religious zealots.


Anyway, there's one thing I am curious of - player equipment. Assuming you can start the DLC at any given level, it means you can go in as a power armor-clad death machine. So, either they take all your stuff at the start of the adventure and return it after it ends, or you have the means to slaughter your way through it without having to pay mind to anyone.

I like the look of Joshua but...shouldn't he be completely bandaged? Not just the head and the hands?

He probably is. He might just be wearing the suit over it.

Also; why are people complaining that he's religious? He was a Mormon missionary. You should have expected it.

Admittedly, there was just as much of a chance he was just a power-hungry cunt, being in the Legion and all. I'm not really bothered with the fact that he's a religious zealot, could make his character more interesting in fact. I wonder if being burned alive and thrown into the Grand Canyon and surviving isn't responsible for rekindling his religious zeal. Should be an interesting character, overall.

Possibly Brother None is referring to their depiction as half naked (savage) primitives, one of Fallout 2's numerous WTF design decisions.

Also as a downer I'll note that while the voice actor seems p good, the burned man is just a letdown. Can't be helped. He just sounds more awesome when written down or described, because so much is left to the imagination, while now we have a model in a pretty shitty graphical engine. Not ideal.

It would have been better if they'd just taken a Jaws approach. Not really showing the Burned Man but showing his actions.
