Hmm, maybe the camera mod changed this. Gonna test some more during the weekend. Wonder if I can set it just like DAO...

Something like in Dragon Age Origins: when your character turns, the camera turns too, it follows you. In NV (3rd view, mind you) if you move the mouse even a little, the camera will move but not your character. I don't know people call the kind of camera used in DAO, but it's the one I feel comfortable.

Please, do share your mod list! I'm specially interested on the crafting one, I love this kind of stuff. I tried VATS, but these little fuckers keep ganging up on me. I had to run away from a bunch of geckos haha. (I'm terrible at the game)

As for the motion sickness, I don't play first person games unless it's on a tiny screen like the ones found on portable systems. I think it's the way you control the camera with the mouse in NV that's getting to me, a fixed camera would've been better. I can play hours of Dragon Age Origins and Mass Effect 1-3 and have no issues.


Back on topic...

Got the digital 3DS version of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. I'm so glad to finally play a third gen MH game in English, since I never owned a Wii. P3rd is fun, but checking the internet for translations was a pain and the fantranslation is still incomplete. I'm going to miss the felynes though, hope the shakalakas are as fun to hang out with.

EO4 - Getting mauled by frogs. I have yet to explore the labyrinth.

Fallout NV - I can only take 30 minutes of it, give or take, but it's better than not playing at all. Unfortunately I'm terrible, those frogs are hitting hard even on the easiest setting.


You know, frogs are mean. :(

Despite my reservations about the 3DS, I ended up buying one for EO4. Game is gorgeous and I already prefer if over EO3. I'm going blind this time, hope I won't royally fuck up my party.

How I missed being wrecked by an FOE.

I've heard the HL2 stories. The first HL was enough for me to know the series wasn't for me. I naively thought that modding the shit out of New Vegas I would be able to at least play in 3rd view.



Yeah, tried all the above, still feel uncomfortable. Now that you mentioned, I could never get the mouse sensitivity right in Civ 4...


It's a shame. I was really looking forward to NV, but it's unplayable. Back to FTL, I guess.

Finally got Fallout NV, but I dunno if I'll be able to keep playing. Even with a 3rd view camera mod and FOV adjustments I still feel a bit uneasy. I don't know what is it about the engine that makes me feel sick. FML.

It's one of those "simple to play, hard to master" games. It's a mix between resource management, risk assessment and luck.

Is it worth to engage an enemy ship in order to get scrap/fuel/missiles/etc or is it better to avoid conflict and leave empty-handed? Should I upgrade the ship's reactor, buy a new weapon or save up for something better? Is it a good idea to respond to a distress call? Do I have the resources to keep pushing my luck?

When I watched gameplay videos on Youtube I also thought it was terribly boring and bland. It's a shame there isn't a demo available.

FTL is so addictive, 2 hours went by in a blink of an eye. Another FTL jump and I would've reached the final sector but nooo, I had to help a fugitive and get my ship destroyed in the process.

Music is top-notch, might buy the soundtrack later.

Finished Kotor 2. What an engrossing story, albeit difficult to follow at times. It's a shame that instead of a proper sequel we got a MMO. Kotor 3 would've been great.

Now to wait for a deal on New Vegas...

*reads thread title*

I don't even...

Weirdness aside, It'll probably be something like that Pokemon SRPG, which was quite decent from what I've gathered.

Well, you can capture wild Eevees in Black 2/White 2 early in the game (around the third city, I think). There are hidden evolution stones through the game and from what I've read, you're able to buy more in Black Tower/White Treehollow and Join Avenue (if you care to level it up). There are new type of Eevee evolutions too, but I don't know what their requirements are.

Check this page out, might help you.

After the excellent FE12, this seems like another great addition to the series. I loved the My Unit mechanic, even if it was broken as hell. Most curious about how they could improve upon it.

Still, don't want shell out $ for the 3DS, as it is. Why couldn't Nintendo release a standard sized 3DS model with the XL improvements? Would buy the thing in a heartbeat.

I'll get NV as soon as I see a decent sale on Steam (damn you winter sale). Not a fan of the engine or Bethesda, but Obsidian is worth the trouble. Btw, you're right about the Kotor 2 patch, it restores and fixes a lot of stuff.



If you're playing the series on PC, make sure to get the Restored Content Mod before starting Kotor 2. There's the M4-78EP mod too (same link), which adds a whole new planet. I don't remember where I read it, but someone compared Kotor1 to a Saturday morning cartoon and I kind of agree, as much as I enjoyed the game.

Kotor 2 - Got my lightsaber. I don't know if the color is random, but I really wanted a blue one... Hope I'll find the necessary crystal soon. Loving the game to bits.

KOTOR 2 - The writing in this game is impressive. I probably spent 10+ minutes discussing with a character at the end of the Telos mission. In that time it managed to blew everything out of the first Kotor. Wow.

Now I'm itching to buy Fallout New Vegas.
