Next stop....Vegas!

So in the beginning of the semester I did a blog on a game called Fallout 3. With the amount i talk about the game in and outside of class, im pretty sure it is not that hard to realize that it was probably my favortie game played of all time. But on October 16th i was presented with the newest edition to the Fallout Series, "Fallout New Vegas." In the previous game we were set in an abominated wasterland in Washington D.C. Starting out as a baby, you grew up in a vault. The game actually starts off with your Mother giving birth to you, and your father is actually the one who delivered your character. The sad part about this is your mother died during birth, so you actually never met her, and were raised by your father. Here is where you edit the way your character would look when he would mature and get older.  To give you a little sense of how the game starts off I found this video that explains the back ground story to the game and the birth stage of the game. If you watch it i think this video might be a little helpful into understanding whats going on. enjoy

Now Fallout New Vegas has a whole new an unique way of starting of the story. This time You are a delivery man who got shot during the deal making process by a mysterious man in a checkeres suit. But somebody had saved your life, and a doctor heals you up and helps get back up on two feet. From here you make your journey to find the man who tried to end your life by putting a bullet right through your head. Whats also interesting about New Vegas is, that yes it is an abominated wasteland but, the destruction isnt as sever as the wasteland in Washington D.C. In this game, there is the actual Vegas strip that was touch by the bomb and is still up and running. To give you a little glipse of what Fallout New Vegas is about, i would watch this video, i think you would truley enjoy it and its is not as long as the previous one i just showed you.

So instead of me giving away the game and going detail by detail, i would rather jus show you a few images from Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas, just so you can see the difference in the two.

This is a picture of the Brotherhood of Steel from Fallout 3. These were the advanced soldiers who maintained oder in the wasteland of D.C. They were someone you wanted to be if you went down the road of a good guy or hero.

This is an NCR Soldier. This is basically the brotherhood of steel for New Vegas but actually more advanced. As you go through the game you end up talking to a man who tells you that the NCR and BrotherHood of Steel got into a battle for a piece of land but the NCR was no match for them, and ran the Brotherhood out off California.
Hope you got a little sense of why i love the Fallout series. And hopefully this makes people want to look more into the games. =)
