It will begin again soon. It will begin again soon. Hide the children. :cryvaultboy:

Edit: Not a dig at you op, but these topics have a penchant for going sour. So don't be surprised if your topic turns into bickering instead of a debate.

So far New Vegas has FO3 beat hands down

Unfortunately bugs are a bit more prevalent than in FO3

F3 for environment, replayability, and less annoying quests.

Oh yes, get those rocket fuels while I watch you walk all the way to the surface and come back. Oh wait, I forgot to tell you that I also need isotopes.....

If the action/ammo making/dt system came to f3, that would be amazing.

Wow, a lot of spam here huh.

Main Quest:
Neither, I think neither of them have a spectacular storyline really, FO3's was badly written and New Vegas' felt very forced unless you go with House or maybe Yes Man.
The writing would feel solid, but the problem is that it's the same for House, NCR and Legion, go recruit a certain tribe, go kill another tribe, mess around with a casino, kill House (if NCR and Legion) then battle at Hoover Dam.
It would have been far better if the quests for each main quest path were unique, say that recruiting this certain tribe is only something that Legion wants, you "can" do it for House and NCR too but they don't give it as an ultimatum for continuing the quest line.
Right now it feels very much like a checklist for each of the three paths.
Do this, do that, do them, do him, battle, final destination.
I hope that for future Fallout games depending on which main quest path you choose the quests are actually different.

Side Quests:
New Vegas, FO3 has like 17 sidequests and most of them involve grinding enemies.

Environments:
New Vegas, it feels more in touch with the old games which also took place in the desert.

Companions:
New Vegas, only one's I liked in FO3 was Charon and Fawkes, in New Vegas I love all of them except that crybaby Boone.

Factions:
New Vegas, FO3 got like what? 5 factions? And 3 of them tries to kill you.

Main Quest:
Much more depth and variety to the main story in F:NV.

Side Quests:
About even.

Environments:
I prefer the NV world but F3 is much better realised and while it's wasteland is a bit samey, the extent and detail in the DC ruins is amazing.

Companions:
New Vegas, only liked Fawkes in F3 and having your own flying robot is great..

Factions:
New Vegas.

When 13 of 22 posts in a thread can be deleted for being off-topic spam, it is rather pointless to keep the thread open.
