I've had a bit of a wander about in it, but nothing major so far. Hardcore
mode is a nightmare! As the previous poster says, I'm charging through
Oblivion again as well, but I've added a few mods this time, then I'll do
Nehrim after. Giving a bit of time for bugs to be patched in F:NV.

I had a look. The current version is a lot cheaper than releases usually
are in Australia so I may decide to purchase, probably after Christmas.

There's a large patch being released soon for the game, after that I'll have
a serious go at F:NV

I'm intending to purchase it after Christmas. Hopefully the patch will
be available by then.

I'll buy it when the price drops. It just isn't worth a fifty dollar bill

I saw it for less than that in Australian dollars.

This is an honest question not a flame: How do you play FPS games
with one of those game controlers? I've tried it several times and
just find it imposible .

Most FPS games have some form of aim assist. FNV doesn't, but it does have VATS. I find it
surprisingly easy to get long distance kills with a scope in free aim but if the target is close and moving
quickly (Cazadores, anyone?) I'm screwed if my VATS points are exhausted.

Mostly it just takes a lot of skill, which I don't have. But usually whatever aim assist the developer
provides makes up for it. A lot of PC gamers would sneer at that but I don't care as long as I'm having
fun...

I have a question along these lines as well Bob, if you don't mind:

Can you plug a USB keyboard into your Xbox, and a USB mouse? I think that
you can do this with a PS3, and again, same question to any PS3 owners. I
have an Xbox controller for my PC as there are some games that are better on
a joypad, but I'm more used to the PS2 controller, as I had one of those
consoles in the past.

Why would you want to play it on an Xbox?

Because I enjoy playing it on the Xbox, like I enjoyed Oblivion, Red Dead Redemption, GTA4, and the 20
other games I own for it. And trying to run it on my six year old budget Dell PC wouldn't even be a sad
joke.
