Fallout: New Vegas Collectors Edition Strategy Guide

Product Description

OK, theres just too much information in this guide to give a full overview. Look at the book! Its MASSIVE. At 448 pages for just the regular edition (480 for the collectors ed) & OVER 500, 000 WORDS between the covers it is a sure bet that this is the single most densely packed, complete strategy guide for a single game ever produced. Thats more words than the first FOUR Harry Potter books combined. This guide has so much information about Fallout: New Vegas that it is going to be used by the publishers testing department as a reference manual. Seriously. You want more specifics? OK, look at the poster map. It shows every exterior & underground location in the entire game. There are 20% more of them than there were in Fallout 3. Plus it marks all points of interest as well as giving visual representations of faction influence over all territories. There is no way to get the entire game world map all at once in-game! This poster is the only time youll see the entire Mojave Wasteland laid out end to end. Whats that? The poster doesnt have interior maps? Or detailed views of important exterior locations? Youre right, the poster doesnt show those things because theyre all inside the book. The Tour section is where youll find fantastically detailed maps of all interiors & exteriors of interest. & every one has rooms & item stashes labeled to guide you to the good stuff. Plus you get a threat level to know whether you can handle the location at your current level. PLUS each location has faction info & tells you if it is part of a Side or Main Quest. & speaking of quests… Sure, you could figure out the Main Quests, where they are & how to do them. I suppose. But can you tell what the different faction alliances will get you? How being friends with the Legion & enemies of Mr. House will affect the outcome of your game? Can you figure out, on your first playthrough, how aligning with the NCR will change the way the Powder Gangers look at you? No you cant! Not unless you spend hundreds of hours playing through every possible combination of skill checks & faction alliances. Luckily, Prima has done just that & every Main Quest walkthrough shows the multitude of choices the player can make as well as how those will change the playthrough. You can pick out just who you want to tick off & who you want to adore you. Plus we give full information on what each reward is for all quests, Main & Side. Oh right, Side Quests. We nearly forgot about the dozens & dozens & DOZENS of Side Quests. Oh wait, no we didnt! Every single Side Quest is covered in the Prima Fallout: New Vegas guide. How to start them, where to go & what to do to complete them, as well as the consequences (if any) to the factions youre courting or battling. Its exhausting just talking about how exhaustive the information is in Primas Fallout: New Vegas guide. If you dont believe me just pick up a copy & hold it. I will bet you that you cannot hold it straight out at arms length for more than five minutes. Heck, Ill be surprised if you can do it for three minutes.
