Thing is, you get some seriously conflicting reports on how this actually works in the fully patched version of the game. Starting with Necropolis, followed by the LA Boneyard, then the Brotherhood, Hub, Junktown, and eventually Shady Sands/your Vault. They aren’t very durable, but their poison is deadly and they are very creepy looking.”ĭecide for yourself how creepy they are, by looking at the concept art below. So according to the wiki/the internet, the Mutants start invading the world after a certain point to fulfill the Unity. According to Sawyer, these beasties are “mutated tarantula hawk wasps that have found their way north from the Sonoran Desert. One critter confirmed for the game though, is the Cazador. Who knows who will want to be your pal this time around?” Sawyer is coy about whether this will include Dogmeat, saying only “The Mojave Wasteland is full of dogs. “Our early Super Mutant and Nightkin models were placeholders” says Sawyer, “All of them have been re-textured, slightly remodeled, and re-animated to more closely resemble the Mariposa Super Mutants ”Companions will be handled the same as in Fallout 3, with players able to recruit one humanoid and one “non-humanoid” chum. Speaking of Super Mutants, many of the ones we’ve been seeing in early screenshots are just placeholders. Using the entry computer to set the invasion time to 110 days (default) then following the proceeding steps recreates the problem after advancing the time 1 month with the full super mutants patrolling invasion. The game’s level cap (a source of some annoyance in pre-DLC Fallout 3) has been confirmed as level 30, and Sawyer explains that a few of the old animations have been freshened up: “We have already changed some of the core combat animations (for example, all first-person firearm aim animations have been revised) as well as creature animations (our “West Coast” Super Mutants have new idles, walk, and run cycles).”

Obsidian’s Josh Sawyer (the Project Director for Fallout: New Vegas) has been answering a selection of fan questions about the forthcoming title over at the Bethesda forums.ĭetails are brief, but moderately juicy.
