Some locations are more radioactive than others, making it go dozens of points per second, and ultimately being of great danger to you well-being. It goes up from ingesting contaminated items or simply standing still on radioactive locations. If somehow your radiation level reaches level 1000 you will die. You radiation bar is not something to be looked down. Sleeping is pretty effective while food and water might come with side-effects due to radiation poisoning. You can use stimpaks for general recovery while some doctors along the way may offer their services for a price. So recovering you energy should be a central point of any adventure. In a desert wasteland all types of atrocities might happen, and they probably will.

Two main types are available, regular ammo guns and energy. The weapon selection is vast and should cover all traits. To repair them you can use other items of the same type or specific recovery items. As important as how good your armor/weapon is, is how well-conserved it is. Though only two slots of defensive equipment is available is would be nice to just check it and see what you have on at that moment.ДЄn important aspect of the game is the condition of any item. At least everything is divided in an efficient way. This is not as complex as other RPGs, offering only two slots, so you only equip them via the large sub-menu of apparels. Like equipping armor and helmet in a specific menu location. What I miss is a coherent way to equip items and know what they do and where they go. Some animals possess antennae or some sort that if crippled might cause them confusion, making them attack their own kin. For example, crippling the head affects your perception your arms jeopardize the aim legs, your speed and charging ability while the chest increases the change of being staggered. Hitting certain points of the body might cripple the foes, resulting in failure of certain features, or at least making them harder. Using VATS is completely up to the player, when up close to an enemy you chance of hitting the head increases significantly and helps out a lot especially with faster/stronger enemies. Using VATS will use up your Action Points gauge, it replenished over time but during that period you might want to shoot the old-fashioned way or try to cover. This is somewhat strange at first, you donвЂ™t really have to aim at all during the entire game if youвЂ™re patient enough. If you choose to use this targeting assistance your character will perform the attack in an RPG-like scene. Anytime during a battle you press вЂVвЂ™ (for PC, default) and suddenly time stops, you get a screen showing every body part of the enemy and the percentage of hitting that part of his body. Short for Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System. What actually makes a difference is what sets this apart from regular run-to-the-mill first person shooters. Some weapons have a secondary zoom in system that most of the time wonвЂ™t make much difference. Sometimes the actual truth doesnвЂ™t even matter, your shots are more accurate and thatвЂ™s what matters.

The progression is mostly because of stat increase but since youвЂ™re getting more and more used to how the game handles you might feel you simply вЂњgot the hang of itвЂќ. Things certainly get much better as it progresses. All your stats are so low that even at point blank you might miss half of your tries. Reaching a target with your shots in the first hours will be hell. As a mixture of RPG and first-person action it features an aiming system thatвЂ™s less based on how well you can handle your mouse. The controls in New Vegas, as well as it was in Fallout 3, arenвЂ™t exactly easy to handle. You character can be as straight-to-the-point as Sylvester StalloneвЂ™s Cobra, choosing to gun down his problems whenever he can.

ThatвЂ™s not carved in stone though, thereвЂ™s countless locations full of loot and mysteries in New Vegas, it all just feels more clustered together in a more dynamic map. It is true that Fallout 3 developed the focus on exploration while New Vegas often thrives to be as dialog-happy as it can be. Both gameвЂ™s showcase a soul of their own though. Now I realize that the game mechanics are identical to that of Fallout 3, in the beginning it feels like the third edition was indeed meant to be broken down into two segmented versions. Fallout 3 a little less Elder Scrolls if you will. Knowing the developerвЂ™s fame I knew I could expect a somewhat more text-heavy experience rather than all-in exploration.

I wasnвЂ™t so sure about what to expect, it didnвЂ™t seem like a new full-fledged game at all but somehow felt like it was a completely new turn on how Fallout was handled in its third installment. By Junior_AIN | Review Date: November 22, 2015
