I got addicted to the fallout series with fallout 3. This game is very similar which is fine for the most part. I still haven't made it to vegas yet but I am now at McCarren airfield which is almost walking distance from it. Vegas sounds like it is going to change the game for the most part. Can't wait to kick some butt at BJ and slots. I have almost 4000 caps saved up just for this/ Cons: Lot's of bugs throughout game. Gets very laggy when walking through desert and sometimes get stuck in awkward spots when inside of buildings. Game has frozen up once on me but I'm wasn't sure if it's my PS3 acting up or if it's the game (I have an original 60 gb upgraded to 320 gb). I usually save it once I sense a little bit of lag just to be on the safe side. Hints: Collect star caps (even if you have to buy them) Keep Raul the Ghoul around as a bodyguard (offers an extra 250 carrying weight plus very good shot with a .44 magnum and voiced by Danny Trejo) For anybody that is complaining about having to walk all the time, just go to world map and have it teleport you to the location if you have already visited it, or to a nearby location you have already visited. Save before talking to someone to complete a mission. Sometimes you can get more money if your speech is high enough. Just run it through once and see if you get an option for speech. If you do but don't have enough points, just reload from when you saved and come back when you do. Magazines help alot in situations like this. I got an extra 600 caps from a mission to Vault 22 for doing this.
