My PC is aging too. I'm standing on that tech cliff where everything kinda still works, but is about fall off into obsolete hell.
I know there's an NDA and all but can you comment on how far you can get playing solo? I hate MMOs that rope you into lengthy multiplayer dungeons as part of the main quest/story.
Ok so a few questions:
I think it does if you go into it with that mind set. They show this gigantic map, but it's not an open world type of game, so you're left to wonder about much of it for now. Like I said I was so engrossed that I was disappointed that it was too short. They're trying to put out the next installment but the jerk offs who own Candy Crush have given them a cease and desist (or something like that) because they use the word Saga in the name of their game - which somehow the Candy Crush people think they have a trademark on.
after the first year, is their financial model micro transactions or pay flat price for game or both?
I think they will have small stuff to make money from like pets, in game vanity/prettyness stuff, race/name changes.NewlyRetired said:
I am interested to see what the price of the game itself will be.
Looks to be around $60
I would imagine it's just like any other game. Buy depending on:
one other small factor is the PC has a defined release date of April 4th, but no release date has emerged for the consoles, so they could come later which might affect his decision if he wants to play early in the release cycle.
Official reply: Can I use a gamepad?
Yeah, I understand. I can sit at my PC and use a controller for any number of games.
I cant find that now either (not looking too hard) I had just stated what I had read and thought to be true.
Ive read in more than one place that they themselves are projecting that after a year the game will shed its subscription model. Which to me is just red flag #400, I hope ESO is a good game (id like to see another actual Elder Scrolls game in the future), but I caution anyone thinking of preordering this game to simply wait until release to see for yourself before buying.
The problem is your subpar battlestation. My computer desk is an old kitchen table, all of my monitors fit perfectly on it and my recliner fits comfortably between the wall and table with plenty of room to fully recline if necessary.
They'd have to give me an XBox One to get my 360 and all the DLC and XBLA games I have on it. It'll be a sad day when it dies and I cannot find another working model.
FO3 was one of my first games playing after being out of gaming for a long time.
Or walking north toward Vegas in F:NV. There are herds of those things around the quarry area. Don't go that way yet. Best head south toward Primm.FO3 was one of my first games playing after being out of gaming for a long time.
I still remember walking in a new direction to explore, seeing a deathclaw, pulling out my pistol and thinking "look how big and slow he is", less than a second later he covered like 50 yards and I was splat.
Whoops, wrong direction
My first encounter with a death claw was at a distance. One randomly spawned when I was level 3 walking to the super market mission. It was in the parking lot and luckily didn't notice me. I just happened to see it waddling along and saw them name death claw. I figured I better not #### with that guy. Yea, good decision.FO3 was one of my first games playing after being out of gaming for a long time.

Happened to me as well on one of my later playthroughs but I saw it at a distance. I had to be at about the same level. I remember saving the game, stepping out on my porch for a cigarette, and hoping for the best. It was easier than I thought but just seeing it made me frightful from previous combats.My first encounter with a death claw was at a distance.

At least in New Vegas they did try to warn you, there are signs all over the place saying "Warning Deathclaws!" Or I forget what settlement it was on the road to the quarry but there were actual NPC guys with roadblocks that would tell you not to go that way.Or walking north toward Vegas in F:NV.

I don't think I ran upon a Deathclaw in FO3 until I was level 12. I also had Fawkes with me and he could take anything out.

Not like FO3 where I randomly stumbled upon the F Scott Key Campground and got my ### shredded. Another fun time was the very first time I encountered an Albino Radscorpion... Or the first time I bumped into a couple of Super Mutants long before the scripted encounter at the GNR Radio when it explains what those things are. Fun games, some wierd but great humor.
The "Gary! Gary! Gary!" Vault. Or the "Tranquilty Lane" mission.
So far I haven't run up on any of those. I have killed a Super Mutant. The thing that I don't seem to be able to do anything with is Mirelurks right now. The only way I stopped the last one I ran into was with several hand grenades. I need better weapons.TheAristocrat said:
What other dlcs are worth buying?
Omega for sure for 3. Adds another 3-4 hours of gameplay.From Ashes is ok. Most of it you can YouTube but if you want Javik on your team its the only way to get him. The mission to get him is forgettable.
I was really bummed with From Ashes and Javik. Feel like they really shoehorned it in at the last minute to sell a few extra copies. "look guys a living prothean!"
I would agree with this. And to top it off, I'm not sure I ever bothered to include him in a squad again after first getting him. I much preferred some combination of Garrus, Tali, Liara or EDI. Never bothered with Vega or Kaidan either.
If memory serves, I think the Mirelurks were pretty susceptible to mines since they just plod after you in a straight line.
Javik probably has the best one liners in the game. Worth a play through with him in your squad.
Yeah I just started getting some mines and I was thinking they might be a nice way to go. Someone else told me they are also pretty flammable.
