Getting into Fallout in the forum
Fallout
So I've just bought my first fallout game (New Vegas), and I'm enjoying it so far.And I've got to admit, I regret not buying it earlier as I've been looking for a good open-world shooter.
It seems like there's enough lore keep me interested, but so far I've got no clue what's going on (what's with the bottle caps??), although I'm only still in the first town. I was wondering if some of the more experienced with fallout could give me the quick basics or a brief history or something?Are there any items I've gotta look out for or particular skills that I should train? I mean, I understand the need for Lockpicking, Guns, etc but how useful are skills like Medicine or Survival?Also, I've heard that the game can get pretty glitchy, but other than a few ctd's I've had no problems so far (I assume the crashes were because of my crappy laptop)?
I'm not asking you guys for a full-detailed walkthrough or do's and don't about what to do (that would spoil some of the fun, eh?), but if some of you are willing to give me a few tips to help me on the way that would be very appreciated!
