:laugh: Good ol' "I can't come up with a legitimate reason" debate. I'd be happy to explain to you why I like it, and why i've been happily playing NV for the past 3 days instead of complaining about a little 3rd party app on forums.

Don't try bringing logic into this, otherwise the amount of threads getting created to complain would be cut in half.

Yes, this is a fantastic idea. I was seriously underwhelmed by the New Vegas strip because it was broken up into segments by these gateways and felt much smaller.

While exploring I ran across a Ceasar's Legion Safehouse in the desert. It can only be opened with a key so i'm guessing if you work with the Legion thats what you're rewarded with.

:rolleyes: Please, and if they made an entirely new game people would whine because they hate change and want it to be the same as Fallout 3.

Um, sorry what? Please trying using actual facts and not things you've made up to suit your arguement. I'm using several .esp mods already, they work without incident and considering the GECK tool was released I seriously doubt they'd do that if it was unmoddable. Here's a tip, picking one instance where people have had trouble dosen't make it a universal truth. Regardless, this issue is a moot point. You can piss and moan about Steam and the rest of us will go about enjoying our day and playing our games, it hardly needs defending considering its vast popularity and large scale success amongst regular PC gamers, it does it's job well and effectively at being an amazing platform for delivering PC gaming content and news, and keeping up with online gamer friends. Crying won't get you anything in return and the only one you're going to annoy is yourself.

This. Few people complaining about Steam have come up with legitimate reasons to not like it. "I have to install another program!? Oh God! No! In that case I immediatly hate it and everyone involved with this game" Even if it's one that might actually have some useful features, it's far easier to cry about it then it is to actaully attempt to use them. First of all, New Vegas is 50$ on Steam which is a lot cheaper than buying a retail copy. The only reason a retail copy even exsists is to make people who HAVE to own a physical copy of the disk feel better, that and the collectors edititons. Secondly, if you care about PC gaming at all, Steam is a gold mine. Like previously mentioned, you can buy games on Steam that have long stopped being printed on disc. People who don't have internet do have a right to complain, while it's hard to imagine in this day and age that people who could afford a computer good enough to play New Vegas, and a copy of the game, wouldn't have internet, it does happen. It sucks and in that regard I really don't have an answer for them, other than to buy the console release. However, this information was known well ahead of time, and it's printed on the box. Saying "I didn't know" means you can't or didn't bother to read, and you've got noone else to blame.

ITT: People complaining about Steam for the sake of complaining. Other than bitching about it because you can, Steam dosen't really do anything negative. I was mad at first because I had install problems but then I realised I was being a dumbass and took a step back, fixed it, and then happily played my game. You can put Steam into offline mode and it stays out of your way if you run the game from the launcher, you don't even need to open Steam. If you actaully try to use Steam instead of just crying about it you might actaully start to like it, with the great friends service and the groups, which are great for getting together with other fans of the game. You can bring up your friends list while playing and easily chat with someone else while playing to get help, etc. Furthermore, Steam has zero negative impact on modding, thats just another example of people pulling reasons out of their ass to hate it rather than trying to figure out what it actaully does.

Give one good reason why you don't like it.

Ok... this is going to be as light on information as possible to avoid spoiling anything. You are rewarded with a player home when you successfully enter New Vegas for the first time (the details on how to do that i'll leave up to you) and complete one quest. When you enter you'll be approached about a meeting, go to it, and let it play out. At the end of it among other things you'll have access to a player home. It's possible to do this long before the natural course of the story progression brings you to New Vegas, BUT, if you visit any locations other than where your player home is located you run the signifigant risk of skipping half a dozen quests and jumping ahead in the story.

Just curious on this, does anyone know if her outfit is unique to her character? I've looked and haven't seen anything like it yet.

I've been using the 'Mysterious Stranger' armor mod for awhile now without problems. Activated the .esp using the data files option in the launcher and everything has been running smoothly. Though my game was downloaded from steam, I didn't bother with a retail disk because the game is only 50$ on steam. Theres really no reason what-so-ever to buy a retail disk.

Mine has always worked by typing 'showracemenu'

Although you can also get it much much earlier than that and not interrupt the main quest line.

Er... that's what I did. My anti-virus flagged the files as malware and quarentined them. That was the problem. And like I also explained, its a generic error message and theres no guarenteed fix.
