Snibble Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 It would be super helpful to have an in-game web browser. If you needed to look up some base/actor id, having a browser right there all the time would be way quicker than having to exit out of your game, looking it up, writing it down, and re-launching the game. It would also be useful for researching bugs and how to fix em, where things are, strategy guides, and all that cool jazz. Somebody should really try and make this!
DeadYorick Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 If you activated the game on Steam (Which I am assuming you did if you own the PC version) you can simply bring up the game's overlay which allows for a web brouser.

That would be very difficult using the game engine (I would say its impossible, but then again, there might be ways) by itself and a much simpler alternative would be to Alt+Tab your way out to the desktop and using firefox.

Thanks for the tip!
SavageBeatings Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Eeeeh. You play Fallout New Vegas on a PC, therefore you've got it on Steam and therefore you can press Tab + shift to bring up the Steam cloud thingie, which has you friends list and a web browser! I use it a lot for Fallout when I look up things on the The Vault while playing and stuff like that.
hafiz22 Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 everytime I use Alt+Tab I came across CTD...
SavageBeatings Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 everytime I use Alt+Tab I came across CTD...Then use Shift+Tab because Steam has that function, a web browser without putting down the game like that. Quick and easy.
hafiz22 Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 thanks for the info SavageBeatings!! :thumbsup:
