Meet Your New Best Buddies in Fallout: New Vegas
09.16.2010
BECKY CUNNINGHAM
NEWS REPORTER
Matt Grandstaff, Bethesda's senior community manager, has posted a detailed introduction to Fallout: New Vegas' companion characters on the European Playstation Blog. In order to avoid major spoilers, we'll post a short summary of each character. Readers who wish to see the full details can follow the link to the blog post above.
Arcade:
Arcade is a doctor who has a strong sense of ethics, but understands that in the Wasteland, sometimes people just need to be shot in the head.
Boone:
Boone is a town guard and former sharpshooter who is seeking his wife's killer. He vacillates between acting like a stone-cold killer and a decent human being.
Cass:
Cass is a water merchant who has run into some hard luck in the caravan business. She's tough, smart, and steady with a gun.
Lily:
Lily is a super-mutant who was an elderly grandmother before her transformation. She's come a bit unhinged.
Raul:
Raul is a ghoul with a tumultuous past who is now living as a simple mechanic.
Veronica:
Veronica is a Brotherhood of Steel scribe who is on procurement duty, salvaging items that the Brotherhood can't produce for itself. She is loyal to the Brotherhood, but looks at them with a critical eye.
ED-E:
ED-E is a weaponized eyebot that was on an important mission until its positioning hardware was damaged. Nobody knows that it carries loads of extremely valuable data.
Rex:
Rex is a very old cyber-hound who was formerly a police dog. Sadly, his brain is starting to deteriorate.

Lol at Lily.

If this is anything like Fallout 3, me, Darren and Scutch will lose a few months.

This will end up eating far more time out of players' lives.
I'm going to try and avoid that by going straight into hardcore mode, where dying is an inevitability. No more tackling the world and filling yourself with stimpacks every 2 seconds.
Thinking back to my first Fallout 3 experience.... get out of the vault, wander about for 5 minutes, get into a firefight with some raiders, think a BB gun will cut it. Fail.

Had never played any of the Fallout games before so wasn't sure what I was letting myself in for, I learnt the hard way.
Winterised T51-b armour, Shady Hat & Metal Blaster FTW

Another vid of more gameplay.

I finally completed the main quest in F3 today and started Broken Steel in preparation for this. Getting used to the controls etc. I forgot how good it was and did 6 hours straight.

Re: Fallout : New Vegas - Released 22/10/2010
Whilst I have no doubt this will be brilliant, after spending sooooooooo long on FO3 I'm not sure I can put myself through all of that again. Plus the ending was a little anticlimactic after 140+ hours of gameplay.
It was at it's best when you first wander into the sunset...a whole world to explore. Fantastico!

+1 I cannot wait. I wander what the story line will be? Surely he can't come out of a vault again can he?

Awesome! I love how they have made all the weapons more customisable as well.
From the vid above it seems like you can make your own ammo/bullets etc

Yeah, that was the best thing about FO3. The home-made weapons. I loved the Railway Rifle.
Why can't the 22nd hurry the f*ck up!

Nope, all new character, "The Courier". It's a long way from DC to Vegas
You sure can, you can build home-made loads that can be made fancier than the usual loads. Fabricating your own loads and modifying your weapons is going to be a big thing to keep an eye on.
I'll be getting the player guide the same day the game arrives (day of release), anyone want any spoilers?

I only bought FO3 on a whim because the cover looked good, best impulse buy since the Clio.
I'll try not to look at it for the first play-through, but I don't know if I have the self restraint. Especially since I plan to go straight in on hardcore mode.
How will I survive combat without the option of sticking 8 stimpacks through me for instant health!?

I'd say so, on the back of the FO3 guide being really useful.
Sure you can use various websites, like The Vault, but that's really pikey.

Get the guide mate, for sure.
Scutch bought it last time and told me how awesome it was, so I bought it. It turned out that it really helped me out on 100%'ing the game.

The only problem with FO3 was that once you'd hit level 20, you couldn't be stopped, the cap raise in BS didn't really help matters as the perks were a bit naff.
having 100% on all skills, a top-damage gun and Grim Reapers' Sprint just meant everything fell dead at your feet without a worry.

I found the wiki a real help personally as it is updated with the various glitches. How not to do stuff that may influence other things in the game etc. I used to buy guides for GTA etc but ended up finding more info online. They are good for the set pieces of the game and areas though.

Not really. When I was playing point lookout some of the guys in there are solid. Like the big fat redneck guys with the sawn off. They were pretty difficult TBF!
