You've lost karma!

I'm now on level 10 and I've played 20-something hours so far.

While starting my character I decided to boost her skills especially in Science, Speech, Lockpick, Medicine and Sneak. Now I've paid more attention to Guns and Barter as well. At first I was also very into Energy Weapons - I was super excited after I got my first Incinerator off a dead Powder Ganger at Bison Steve's Casino in Primm - but the excitement wore off quite fast and for the last few fights I've stuck with my magnum, and of course a lead pipe for close combat.

I've been losing a lot of karma lately. I just like stealing more than buing - simple as that. And with the cannibalism perk.. well it aint gonna get any better. Who wouldnt love free HP off dead bodies. Just gotta make sure other people dont see. Hah. My companion, Veronica, doesnt mind tho. I found her at the 188 Trading Post and she's a champion. Really modest-looking but kicks some serious ass. And carries my heavy stuff.

At first I also thought the game's music is so awesome but in a couple of hours I could memorize all the lyrics to Johnny Guitar and Mr. New Vegas' introductions. My favourite being "Hey, hey, it's Mr. New Vegas letting you know I've got a new Christmas compilation coming out soon: Nuclear Winter Wonderland. Look for it, on holotape."

I also bumped into that cowboy-robot Victor again. He's following me and I dont know why. I've got a feeling I'll find out later.

Oh yeah.

I'm totally into Fallout: New Vegas.
The story flows smoohtly and I like the fact that you have make an effort to find quests and missions - they don't come served on a plate. So far I've enjoyed all the quests, maybe apart from 'The Lucky Old Sun'. Too much running around and getting lost at the HELIOS One.

I'm now level 7 and Idolized in both Novac and Primm.

Enter Mojave

Spent a good couple of hours with Fallout: New Vegas last night and the experience was very pleasant in many ways.

Also being an open world FPS game, and from the same studios that created Skyrim, it's quite difficult not to compare the two. While Skyrim filled my head with mainline quests, side quest and misc quests from the start, Fallout gives more room to chill and think. I also love the VATS technology that allows you to stop time and aim.

The story so far has been ok. Not massively interesting but ok. I suppose the next thing to do is go and find out the fellas that tried to kill me. I also think I'll be hearing more of Victor the robot and mr. House. We'll see.

Bye Skyrim, Hello Fallout New Vegas

Here we go..

Bah.

Kyne's Sacred Trials was somewhat of a disappointment. All the other god- and daedric quests have been so unique, challenging, even quirky. Kyne's Sacred Trials is mainly running back and forth killing a collection of guardian animals, including for example a skeever and a mudcrab. Very simple and very easy. For your efforts you'll get an amulet that increases damage from bows and reduces damage from animals. Bah. The only real challenge in this quest was finding Froki's Shack...

It's gettin even harder to find something interestin to do. The only quest at the moment that seems to be worth my time is the one with the Stones of Barenziah. BUT I've only got 11 and I kinda feelin like savin that one for later. Apart from that, there're a few dungeon quests - not my favourite type of quests anyway and the neverending ones. Thats it.

So..
