Yeah, i'm not the worlds best fallout fan (first fallout game was fallout 3) But because fo3 and fonv are kinda the same in certain ways, how different have you been in new vegas. Mine has got to be the intrest in unarmed combat, never used any in fo3, then i suddenly use them alot in nv and for a while i used unarmed power fist in alot of my basic runs of nv. I also have less intresting in collecting teddies in this while I have had more intrests in pre war money.

I'm a bit like you, have'nt played fallout 1 & 2. But as soon as I played FO3, I was hooked. Always played the shooter character but never used VATS except maybe once or twice just to see how it worked , and skills that build that up mixed with explosives (love those mines..) , rarely melee or unarmed @ times, depending on the situation. But in fallout NV, Again, playing the shooter (can't help myself..heheh.and still no using VATS.) but with a twist, cause of the story line and I have this fixation to run NV according to my terms, eg. no faction only Yes man & on very hard level but so far not hard core mode ( I will one day..hehe) so my character style relies on a combo of Guns, Repair, sneak & barter. I must say, its challenging without using a lot of stimpacks or implants but this time having iron sights really brings the shooter genre into itself. Also, I don't like using companions...

I'm pretty much done the opposite. Used a lot of melee or unarmed in FO3 and now I see myself using a lot of sniping from long distance in FONV, I guess this is mainly because in FO3 ammo was a bit hard to come by, while in FONV you can do the buying glitch over at the Gun Runners and end up with tons of ammo and great guns.
