Will the Fallout: New Vegas Version of the GECK ship with the game, or be downloadable on release?
JS: Yes. In addition to the normal GECK functionality F3 modders have come to expect, the F:NV GECK will allow modification of ammo lists, ammo subtypes, the hardcore "basic needs" rates, and a lot of the other new bits of data we have added. It will also contain the F:NV dialogue editor, which can be used with or without the standard F3 dialogue editor.
You might have just taken it as a given that there'd be a G.E.C.K., but don't take it for granted, they might not have released one. Obviously with this news I can strongly upgrade my New Vegas purchase status from "hold" to "buy".
There will be a Nexus for New Vegas. I am undecided as to whether I should make a seperate site for New Vegas or create seperate categories for New Vegas and Fallout 3 on Fallout 3 Nexus. While Oblivion and Morrowind share the same site it isn't without it's complications. Decisions!

If you like a lady who is not a wall flower in books you need to read clan of the bear cave books its old but still in print
Two days until release, hopefully we will get some info because I, for one, will be modding from day one!
I will give my vote for a new tab like TES and DA. I can already see the NV at the top right already...drools.
I have my pre-load ready. As soon as the unlock happens, I will be checking out the modding. Come on Tuesday!!!!
Or are we talking a completely new section to be install in the stand which would serve only the FO3: New Vegas?
Seperating sites wouldn't make any sense at all, literally and psychologically. Not only Dark0ne would have to maintain another website, also the community had to jump between the websites and clearly would evolve in a completely different direction, then the community around here on the Nexus. It's easier and much less complicated to implement a tab on every nexus home page or upside on the banner, that connects them all togther, so you can swiftly jump between the Nexus sites.
Seperating sites would also seperate the community and you need to keep them together in order to maintain the greater benefit of us all.
In your heads is where the seperation starts. A seperation that doesn't make any sense at all. Why to begin something new, if the Nexus already is such a precious place to be?
The day is nearing, Dark0ne...What are you doing? Robin. Have you made up your server yet, or are you still mining for opinions?
I would lean for a separate site too, but I imagine once we get our hands on the new vegas geck we'll be able to see if there are many differences. Personally, I know I've been picking thru all the mods lately seeing which ones I'd like to see carry over, which armors/outfits/guns I'll try and edit into my game straight after the first playthrough, but from the previews etc, it doesn't look like there have been huge changes to the engine itself so I would imagine (hope) that transferring mods from F3 to NV won't be too hard either.
And even if this is the case, a new site for NV would at least draw a line in the sand between mods made pre-october 2010 and post.
