Last week we spoke to Obsidian's senior designer Chris Avellone, who shared with us some tips for progressing through New Vegas's Hardcore Mode - plus one small secret some of you might've missed.
In the designer's words then, here are a few bullet points...
The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.
It’s an awful downgrade to the last one they did
They included physical disc back then
I would love the classic fallout games on console. Closest I could find was atom rpg, I liked that one a lot
Getting free games is never a bad thing and Amazon Luna has new offerings for Fallout fans looking for free adventures in the Wasteland.

"If you don't run too far north and you try to follow the path that they took to get to you, you'll encounter the grave site. If you take a shovel to it and dig it up you'll find one of the signature weapons that one of the guys in the graphic novel was carrying."
I found that myself. I love when developers do this.
I haven't had any major bugs or glitches but I don't mind if I get a few. So much to do on this game its well worth it.
I wish they would tweak the hardcore mode, with more options, like enable ammo weight, and healing after time. But turn off sleep/food, and water.
***"Even if you think you're a gun-toting badass when leaving Goodsprings, I wouldn't test your badass-ary by running north immediately to wrestle Deathclaws to the ground."***
You don't need to go that far. Just try taking on the giant radscorpion on the other side of the cemetery hill.
