No, the above answerer is incorrect. You have to own all previous Fallout games, Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, and Fallout 3 and have beat them, beat them good, to death, beat them until they've been beat and then beat them like a dead horse and beat them again for good measure, and then and only then will you even be allowed by the Game Lords, like myself, to purchase Fallout New Vegas and have any chance of beating it too. Beat it good, just beat it. You have to show them that you're really not scared. You also need the exclusive Fallout 3 Bobblehead and Lunchbox and cheap plastic Pip-Boy clock otherwise just no, no more guessing required.
