made that quest should be given a gun. Fallout New Vegas uses a radical new technique called game design to ensure that players find all of its cool stuff. Remember when I said six quests send you to Vault 22? That's just the tip of the questber. One of the many cool as hell locations in New Vegas is the Helios 1

Representative public comments
New Vegas has one of my favorite jokes "They asked me if I had a degree in Theoratical Physics. I told them I had a theoretical degree in Physics. Got the job"
in the fallout universe bisexuals are known for their ability to deal 10% extra damage to everyone.
"Fallout: New Vegas uses a radical new technique called 'game design' ... " <<< This was where I lost it.
The funniest part of the game has to be when you can talk to a homeless guy while at 1 intelligence and then just break out into the most verbose and eloquent speech possible before going back to bumbling like a toddler all over the place.
"You might call it a horrible way to die. I call it "good game design"." - from now on I will ask ppl to write this on my gravestone
Game design example: they put a bunch of loading screens between you and the ncr embassy to encourage you to choose any other faction.
