for sure epic, i was hoping for new vegas to give me a year or two of playing time, but as good as new vegas is, its mostly just a story driven game and no matter who's side you're on, there really aren't any in game changes so each playthru is pretty similar, i've played on ncr's side, mr house side, ceasers legions side, cruising around the map is still the same, with the same 2 bark scoprions at hidden valley, the same stupid powdergangers hanging around jeans skydiving shack, the same gecko running across the road near primm, the entire bottom half of the map is pretty barren, people might of complained FO3 had too much action all over the map, but i prefer that than no action on 99% of the map.
The map part is true, I liked fallout 3s better, and there was more to do, but fo3s story fialed compared to NV.Even though i like Yes Man the best, I have to admit Legion was the most diverse.
On topic, try making a messed up, misunderstood vampire.Side with the legion, take silent running,mr sandman, canibal, and ghastly scavenger.I havnt played this yet, but I could see it being fun.
