It's a post-apocalyptic Vegas! I demand gambling, booze and boobs. In that order.
And no, two out of three ain't bad. It's unacceptable.

Yeah, this game is easily #1 for me. I'm also looking forward to Alpha Protocol actually, given how much I love Obsidian + Mass Effect+ spy games but New Vegas is going to annihilate at least a month of my life when it comes out.
Obsidian had nothing to do with Mass Effect as far as I am aware.
Despite the involvement of some of Obsidian's devs in the original Fallouts, I'm actually a little worried about what they'll do with the Las Vegas expansion. Whilst I really like the idea of what they are trying to do with this expansion, the work that they did on NWN 2, in my opinion, was sloppy and a step back from some of the highlights of the original such as Hordes of the Underdark. As far as Alpha Protocol is concerned, it hasn't been released yet so no comment.

Right, but they're pretty obviously using the same engine as ME1/ME2, even down to similar character screens.
Edit: Actually, apparently they deny that, but it's using UE3 and it really really looks like the ME1 engine.

What do character screens have to do with engines?
Jason Moyer on 19/4/2010 at 21:18
The same thing that any other aspect of the core code of the game does? Or was that supposed to be a trick question or something?

Character screens are probably the simplest thing to programme, and I very much doubt they're in any way hard-coded into an engine. Visual design (and, in this case, functionality) != engine.
