Back into the Wasteland Part C

Greetings from Jacobstown. Im still chuggin and pluggin away at Vegas. I picked up SFxTekken and Soul Calibur 5 yet I'm still playing this, so that tells you something.

So updates from the last post. I found a 4th Casino, the Atomic Wrangler didn't take long to hit the jackpot limit there either so again, I felt a little jilted that I spent so many points on luck for a game based in Vegas. I did get to take my winnings over to the doctor and get a few implants. Adamantium bones, self re-genning health, and tougher skin; I'm all about damage reduction and being like Wolverine. Ive also done some side faction stuff but I cant figure out if I should dump the floating robot eye and get rex, or keep the improved enemy finding. Ive also read I can get the other sniper from Novac to join me and he'll do it even if rex or ED-E is with me.

There have been a TON of Fallout 1 and 2 references linking this game to the past much better than Fallout:DC did. I meant yeah DC had the tree guy Harold, but it wasnt the same. Take a funny ghoul with a tree growing in his head and make it a lame tree with a suicidal ghoul stuck in it, Fail-tastic. Now in this one, Marcus is Marcus and he FEELS like the Marcus of old. Even has Michael Dorn (Lt.Worf from Star Trek TNG) doing the voice acting in this one too.

And hes not just there for show, he has things for you to do and the things he wants done fall in line with the Marcus of old, I was legit impressed, much more so than the passive mentioning of older Fallout people and places, and even Tandi being an answer to the trivia question in a side quest for the king. This is definately the game Fallout:DC should have been. Ive got an old bomber to get out of Lake Mead, hopefully the deathclaws wont rape my candy ass again. I would have loved to find a hedge stone or something for the "Chosen One" or even a broken GECK or waterchip.

Till next time,
T
