Max from Coregamer: So, I have been playing Fallout: New Vegas for some time now and completed the main Storyline. I have found myself trying to get all of the achievements in all the games I play lately, not so that I can have a little list of trophies or gamer points, but so that I can say I have completed the game fully. Those of you who know me will know this is not something I do often, once the story is over I get bored and move on to a new game. As part of my achievement hunt on New Vegas I discovered Blue star caps and have included a list of locations for those of you who are as lazy as me and would rather just go and collect them without spending an age looking in what is probably the wrong place anyway:

Chris Avellone expands on his earlier claims that Fallout New Vegas dev Obsidian pitched Bethesda ideas for Elder Scrolls spinoffs.
Really Bethesda? Come on
We could have gotten to explore more of the regions or revisit old ones with another developer making them. Would have shortened the time between releases of the main games.
The issue here was Bethesda was butthurt that obsidian managed to develop a better fallout game at the time (new vegas) than theirs (fo3) so they didn't allow it.
It's funny how they're both owned by Microsoft now. They should be able to work together now.
Fallout 4 New Vegas is trying to remake the game but plenty of other volunteer places have given up, and Bethesda isn't helping things by not announcing a remake.
Probably because they don't want to acknowledge Obsidian made a Fallout game that feels a bit more Fallout like.
If Obsidian had a better budget and a full development cycle without being rushed this game could have been bigger and even better than it was.
He'll I'd really like to see them finally show some love to the orginals. Can't even get those on gamepass. Plenty of similar type games have been made for consoles so it can be done. People would go nuts for them. They did the og wasteland(well not bethesada) but just as an example. Bethesada treats the og fallout as bastsrd stepchildren. Why
Because of the game engine. Obsidian's Fallout "needs" to be done on the Creation Engine or else it won't have the same charm as New Vegas. An UnrealEngine based one will feel more like Outer Worlds due the lack of scripting that Creation Engine boast.
Now, the latest Fallout build is of the 76, which looks quite dated and is not fit for a future release.
On the other hand, the latest Creation Engine build is of Starfield, which will require quite a lot of re-work from Bethesda themselves after which Obsidian can work on.(And Bethesda teams are likely busy with Starfield fixes, DLCs and Elder Scrolls 6.) This was not the case case during New Vegas, where Fallout 3 build was readily available and Obsidian iterated over it to their liking and design.
I have 40 without the need of a guide, but this is good for those who don't want to explore every corner or location.
Its no fun if you know where they are.but i bet that ppl are going for it anyways cause its way to time consuming.
I have quite a few blue-star caps that I've found on my own. The rest are from friendly wanderers who I've run into. I warn them of the dangers and then shoot them in the back of the head as they walk away. It's the life I've chosen...I regret nothing! ;-)
if i found some, i found some. im more into Nuka cola caps. lol
I haven't found a snow globe yet and I didn't even know about blue star caps! I can't wait to play when I get off of work, but I'm working a double :( Only 15.25 hours to go!
