NEW VEGAS!

[Tomtomrawr]

It came in the post for me yesterday, and I installed it and played it. When the doctor was talking to me at the bedside at first and there was no words going with the speech, I was thinking "Oh crap, I have to actually listen to the people now?" But after my character was standing the all-so-familiar words to follow the speech returned.

I took Hardcore mode. Now I have to eat, drink and sleep. None of these have passed over two hundred yet, because I'm cautious. Whenever one of my limbs gets crippled, I have to visit the doctor to get them fixed. ARGH! And health applies over time. This can be quite amusing when you're fighting Legion Assassins and they're hitting you with sub-machine fire and your health is going up.

Weapons. My best is still the 9mm pistol, the varmint rifle, or my trusty lead pipe. Clubbing people into a bloody pulp: what could be more enjoyable?

The music is something I'm not too fond of. There are a few good songs which I listened to quite often a few months before the game was released, but there are many which just don't take my fancy...

I have the difficult on hard, and I've kept the iron-sights on too. They've added the feature in, so I may as well play the game as the makers primarily intended. There was one part, where I died about five times trying to get past while I was still adjusting. Damn Geckos!

Disguises are cool. Walking right behind Powder Gang members and hitting them with my lead pipe, doing my sneak critical. Even more blood.

I haven't found any mods for any weapons yet though. And that brings up something else: a some-what harder time finding decent guns. I've been playing the game close to six hours now and I'm still using the varmint rifle. In Fallout 3 you had the 10mm pistol which you dumped when leaving the vault. After six hours playing Fallout 3 I probably had an assault rifle, maybe even a chinese assault rifle if I was lucky. Or even a plasma rifle if I did the right quest...

But here I'm still with a pistol and the basic varmint rifle, and with the iron sights and the precision needed to use them combat can take a while.

Anyway, just want to ask: anyone know any good places to find gun mods?
