First off, I&#8217;d like to know how New Vegas plans to court fans of the franchise who thought that Fallout 3 was lacking in story?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Nigel Droolbucket: Did you see the new GRENADE GUN? BOOM BOOM BOOM! Blow up your foes!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>TS: Yes, the weapons do look exciting.  What about the skill point system? Any plans to restore the number-crunchy complexity of the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system that made the earlier titles so deep?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>ND: Vegas, baby! VEGAS!  Huge robots to explode! KABOOM! Blow it up! Blow it ALL UP!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>TS: Hm. What about the dialog?  Will you be putting in meaningful conversations that reveal the world as well as give players a way to solve problems in non-violent means? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>ND: Speaking of violence, this time you&#8217;ll have companions to follow you around and blow up more guys&#8230; EVEN MORE!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>TS: Amazing. What about multiple ways to solve quests? Will the players have a lot of freedom, and an incentive to replay the game again and again?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>ND: Orbital cannon! Blow up tons of dudes at once! Mushroom cloud! PSssshkkkrrrrrrwwwwwooooooom!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>TS: (Wiping spittle off face.) Interesting. What about the visuals? Is the game still going to be pervasively, monotonously brown, so brown that the player will wish to be struck blind?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>ND: Yes.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>TS: Thanks so much for your time.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>ND: BOOM!
