EDITED:

Here's the itstoohard puzzle
There's a giveaway link for those who complete it.

For the puzzle you will need Fallout 3, or a good friend who has Fallout 3.
After you solve it, bump this thread with "solved" and please stand by.

Good luck!

As I mentioned yesterday, I am giving away one copy of Fallout: New Vegas for someone who would really like to have it, but for any reason can't purchase it.

You are going to have troubles if some people have played Fallout 3 on consoles.

Also there will be people (like me) who have played and loved fallout 1+2 in the late 90s. not even steam available at the time.. and fallout vegas is really the only one I'm interested from the modern ones, mainly because it's more rpg and less action oriented than 3 or 4. Nothing beats the tactical classic playstyle of the two old ones imo and the world immersion you'd get through dialogues and rpg elements. This franchise has changed completely throughout the years in an all-together different genre, almost fps.. Fallout 3-4 are literally different games to put them in the same basket. Vegas is indeed interesting though.

New Vegas is different from 3. Not only because, as you said, has a lot more roleplaying elements, but also because is made by former members of Interplay and you can actually feel the universe. Like the same world, evolving, even if its another place, its the same place and I'm pretty sure you and every Fallout fan can feel the same. Fallout 3 was a good adventure but a weak fallout, Wasteland DC was a good place but has nothing to do with Fallout wastelands, right?

Obisidan also took lots of content from the cancelled Van Buren, wich is also nice.

Yep. Semi-ex console gamer. I have fallout 3 on 360 which is why I never bothered getting it on steam.

Considering, that a lot of New Vegas fans despise FO3 and have also most propably played the older ones not on Steam, I'm seriously wishing you luck with getting any entrants.

Well, because NV was the last game of the old Fallouts, which were so different from the new Bethesda-made ones that they could really be different franchises as there is zero in common with the two, at least if we look past the fact that new Vegas had to use FO3's engine as per contract. :)

I like NV better, but 3 has its merits, especially with the dlcs. That southern Deliverance/Chainsaw Massacre inbred add-on was just hilarious...

…ly good example of how to mess everything up in Game Design 101. It had actual fundamental game design errors including an actual, real cheat code inserted into the DLC against the player. If it would have been a university project, they would have failed that subject so hard it would have hurt physically. I swear that DLC could be taught on how not to make a game because it has wonderfully gigantic and obvious flaws.
Not that it is alone, of course, since the first DLC, Anchorage has similarly huge issues, just the other way around: it is not only almost impossible to lose it even at level 1, but it also nets rewards that turn the player functionally invincible.

Well, I'm not even close to a game developer, so I wouldn't pick up on any of that anyway.

I remember beating the first one and the one in space, but not Anchorage. Must have done something wrong.

Anchorage has stations littered all over that heal you fully and restocks ammo any time, with no cooldown. You can aggro the first enemy, camp near one healing station, and just kill them as they pop up. It is rather boring, but it gives you an armour that permanently cloaks you, and a sword that one-hit kills anything, including behemoths. (Or you can take the second most resilient power armour that can never break as it has infinite item HP.)
I like Mothership Zeta too, because if you take about 50-60 pistols with you, you have more or less infinite money and just can buy everything any time. Not that you'd need it, but having infinite money is always fun.

I really want to play Fallout 3 and New Vegas! The only problem is, the games never released in India because the developers were scared that it might get banned because of the Brahmin! I did play the original Fallout for quite a bit a couple of years ago (I own it on GOG), but I felt dis attached to the game because I had a hard time with the interface and couldn't really get the hang of it. So yeah, that's my case! (Also you wont find Fallout NV on my Wishlist because I can't access the store page due to the above reasons.)

And you wouldn't be able to activate it in any way as it is not "not sold" but in "banned" status for Indians, so no key or gift would activate on your account, ever.

That actually isn't true! The game was never banned in India! It was Microsoft who decided not to release it in India. I believe the key should work fine.

It was tried and everyone reported so far that no, the game refuses to activate.

Hmm, I had a friend who got it using a VPN. Well I guess I'll not enter if the key has a chance of not working.

You can do it with a VPN, but it also breaks Steam ToS and can get your account permanently suspended.

just sayian, New Vegas is one of my fav RPGs of all time, have absolute no interest in playing 3 or 4.

FO3 is a really good dungeon crawler, just try to disregard the writing (and the voice acting). If you can get past the fact that it is supposed to be a Fallout, it is rather nice as a mindless ARPG with an excellent map.

I really can't any legit reason to get accepted. I just want to try out the Fallout franchise, but of course I wouldn't start with recent ones. I'd rather start with something older just to get familiar with how the game is played etc..
