As a veteran of Fallout 2, I am almost physically incapable of resisting the urge to skin Geckos, the mutated descendants of...well, geckos, that populated the the area. The screenshot above, part of a new batch posted by Fallout fansite Duck and Cover, have confirmed that I will spend much of my time in Fallout: New Vegas killing geckos and ridding them of their outer coverings. Perhaps I shall make them into a fine set of boots, or maybe a belt or backpack upgrade. I'm sure someone will come up with a mod for that.
For those of you less interested in geckos (infidels!) than in the rest of the stuff found in post-nuclear Nevada, you can visit the gallery over at Duck and Cover. If you've not the time to do that, I've listed some of the things you can find there below:
- GECKOS!!!!
- A ghoul named Miguel
- A giant gecko eating a motel sign
- An assault rifle that looks like an M4/M16
- Jumpsuits from Vault 21
- A heavy weapon that looks like the Bozar
- A wild west-looking town
- Jukeboxes, Dogs and girls in leather armor
- Billboards
- Golf clubs with a "Fore!" special attack
- Powder Gangers
- A Rorschach test
- A spiffy solar panel-looking arrangement
- A "command wheel" for companions
- A super mutant wearing a wig and heart-shaped sunglasses (!)
But really, it's all about the geckos. I will be disappointed if there are no golden geckos, though. Get on it, Obsidian.

Been too long.
Hopefully you can become super rich just by spending your entire life skinning geckos and selling their skins.
Also, GECKOS.
Will we be getting add ons for this one too?
Nah.
I'll probably play this.
It's looking like FO3 with a different map though, and seeing as FO3 with Oblivion with Guns and no NPC interaction...
Unlike in Fallout 3 where it was greenish. Thats pretty cool actually.
Also VATS is back = confirmed. Good thing i am not one of the people that hated it.
I liked the trailer, but I was a bit concerned that they only had a trailer to show at that point for a game that is supposedly still due out Fall this year. I'm hoping Obsidian can really bring out something that's closer to the original games, and Geckos are a step in the right direction at least.
That said, day one purchase for me.
I have news for you, by the end of this generation the World will be destryed by a nuclear war and Fallout will be a reality, not a game.
I know this, because I too am from the future.
Gawd I hate condescension.
I thought everyone knew this. My superior hybrid genes are proof enough.
I DON'T EVEN LIKE FO2 THAT MUCH
I am so excited for this game I could shit the bed. :(
so bad :'(
i think Fallout:NV has potential but handing it off to obsidian wasn't the greatest idea...
