About this game

Obsidian's 2010 role playing game, set in the Mojave in 2281, with four powers circling the Hoover Dam and a choice between them waiting at the end. There is no single morality meter. Every faction keeps its own opinion of you, so a job done for one can shut a questline at another, send assassins after you, or make a companion walk out. V.A.T.S. pauses a fight and spends action points on a named body part. Hardcore mode is the other switch worth knowing about: you have to eat, drink and sleep, ammunition has weight, a crippled limb needs a doctor, and a companion who dies stays dead. Who you back at the dam decides which of four endings you get. It plays differently the second time because the map does not change and your standing with everyone on it does.
