Fallout: New Vegas Honest Hearts Trailer and Screenshots

If the game lets Mormons buy booze and drugs and soda off of me I'm going to be pissed. There better be at least two young teenaged mormons in suits riding bicycles.

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

Eh, my eyes tricked me. I thought that the sleeves of the shirt he's wearing were is bare tatooed arms.

Guess that woman on the left side is wearing this Yao Guai Gauntlets.

What's with all this [Creature] Gauntlet thing that FO3 started?

Also, unlike a Freddy Krueger glove and a wrist mounted blade, a Yogi bear paw doesn't strike me as particularly powerful.
 
I wish Fallout still had item descriptions.

'Support the 2nd Ammendment' could have been the Yao Guai gauntlet's item description.

I'm sick of it too. Deathclaw gauntlet, mantis gauntlet, Yao Guai gauntlet, people in the wasteland really have an obsession with using the hands of dead animals as weapons. I'm surprised they're not making shoes out of their feet and hats out of their skulls.

Also, am I the only one who finds it odd that the flesh on the gauntlets never seems to rot away?

I could understand ripping the claws directly from a giant dangerous mutant beast and making a weapon from that, but the whole hand as a weapon is pretty ridiculous. Unless it's for the extra weight?

However, i wouldn't mind seeing tribals actually using the whole animal instead of just being as skimpy as they can be. The fiend or vexillarius helmet are a good example.
 
I think if the wastelanders started wearing everything made from the animals they killed, Tagaziel would like this game a lot more.
 
Where do I begin? Hell, I'll start with what I wish was in Dead Money.

You can go back.

It's also nice that we'll finally have some weather with the rain. Joshua sounds amazing. The weapons sound really cool.

Also, forgive me for sounding like a Fallout 3 fanboy, but: You can kill people, with a gauntlet, made with the hand of a mutant bear.

FUCK. YES.

I will never for the life of me understand why shit like this is important to people. "Can we have continue after game is done?" Why? You just finished it. Go outside and play. Read a book. Call your mother. Chrissakes.

I don't know you well enough to judge you personally, but I can tell you that a statement like this does make you sound like a FO3 fanboy (i.e. "easily amused with silly nonsense instead of overtly critical of silly nonsense" or, if you prefer, "more concerned with silly nonsense instead of canon, writing, dialogue, difficulty, etc").
 
So Burned Man looks like a Ninja.

A Ninja with guns. I always thought of him looking like Dark Man, but I attribute that to not being very creative with what he looks like.

I really want to see where they go with this. He just sounded so bad ass from the Van Buren info.

Heh, I was just a little over exicited at finally seeing a trailer for HH. I at least said "Forgive me for sounding like a fallout 3 fanboy". I despise it's rape of cannon and basic storytelling just as much as most here.

Back on topic, I wonder if you can bring companions? If you can, I'll only take Cass, just to give her the caravan experience one more time. Hell, it'd be a good opportunity for some dialouge.

EDIT: Got enough 45's there Josh?
 
You can never have too much of a good thing and .45s are ooooh so good.
No matter what his rhetoric or justification for his actions are, I'm still gonna kill him so I can nick his clothes.
... If this wasn't an RPG that would sound so wrong.

Speaking of difficulty, I sincerely hope Honest Hearts follows Dead Money's example by being challenging. I don't want this to be a loot grabbing experience like the Fallout 3 DLC; I want a game!

Edit: It's really unlikely that you'll be able to bring your companions along.
 
I don't get why your are complaining about having more variety on the unarmed weapons category, it may look silly but I am happy my unarmed character can use something other than a powerfist and balistic fist now, yes I know there are mroe weapons, but not nearly as much as there are EW, or even Melee weapons, also it looks like we are gonna have more ending chocies in this one, and they also included a Rasta hair to the game.

Also Joshua Graham sounds sane? "I am the instrument of god vengance" "I was baptized twice" the guy seem to have some crews loose, and maybe the whole being set on fire and thrown down the grand Canyon just loosened even more screws, also his vocie is pretty good.

Fiend Helmet? Well, at least the feet are still safe. For now.

I get the impression that he's acting as de facto quartermaster here for his Legionesque band of tribal also-rans because, at this stage, he's more qualified than anyone else in the group. Just a guess, though.

Walpknut: I'm all for having options when I play an unarmed character, but, realistically speaking, it's hard for the devs to provide competitive ones, and I think you've got to accept that when you choose to play an unarmed game. In a world whose battlefields are full of flying lead and hot plasmatic doom, there's just not a lot of room in the R&D budget for things that help you punch harder. To the primitives, knives and spears are preferable for their range and utility, and the only real purpose an animal gauntlet could serve would be a ceremonial one.

NV has more unarmed options than any previous Fallout game, it's just that they just don't stack up to a Plasma Caster or a Missile Launcher in terms of efficacy (which is to be expected). Dog-tag fists, boxing gloves, hand wraps, three or four different kinds of power fists, knuckles (both spiked and non-)... that's a rather realistic and diverse brawler's arsenal. I don't think it's really fair to expect all that much more, as there's not that much more they can do without getting into the realms of unrealism. Even the Bear Trap Fist was a bit far in my book, and the only reason I'm willing to forgive it is because it was gritty as hell. Not so for the unarmed Taxidermy options.
 
is it just me or is Honest Hears the Jai Alai team vs. The Branch Division of Waco team.
Anyway, dose anyone know what is written on the side of the pistol at 0.48.
 
Interesting dichotomy if you ask me. Follower of the One Most High burnt and kicked into a canyon by a pagan king, a leader of a hedonistic and misanthropic culture of ruffians if you will. Sounds like perhaps this man might have had enough of the wickedness and decided to bring down some righteous judgement on some thugs. At least I hope that is the riff it is going to try to go on. I always assumed, "Hey this guy was with Caesar. MUST be a badguy." But no, they could have flipped the script and have him find God. Redemption would be a storyline that had so much more character and depth than Gray aliens, the boy from Deliverance, or a VR simulation. It would be a great angle, why else would Caesar had been so lethal in trying to kill him. How else would he have survived than to have been blessed and marked to help some good salt-of-the-earth people out?

If so, I c wut u did thar Obsidian, well played.
