I "beat" the game yesterday (56 hours lvl 28, hardcoe, hard difficulty and STILL a bunch of quests left ) and I just wanna talk about how much I LOVE this game.
Ive been waiting for this kind of fallout since i was 16 and played through fallout 2 for the first time (still my favorite). Even with all of the bugs, and the occasional crash (I got my first one when i walked into the bar at good springs!) i still have been missing a bunch of work because i cant stop playing this game and I think the fans need to do a shout out to how awesome this game is.

*(spoilers ahead!!!)*

What follows is things that i have wanted to say (and have to my friends but they just look at me weird; bastards, they just don't understand why i almost pee'd my self when i found Marcus at jacobstown) about why i love this game so damn much.

Enemies: FO3: oh look, a mutant with a hunting rife (nevermind how dumb it is that a hulking monster would be using a crappy bolt-action rifle that it could probably not even get its massive hands around) I felt like I killed about 5,000 of these things and they'ere assault rifle wielding equivalents, booooooring. FO:NV: .....Hey, did you see that? right there! it looks like its shimmering... in fact it kinda looks a little like Predat- OHMYGOD ITS A STEALTHED SUPER MUTANT RUN FOR YOUR GOD DAMNED LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quests: Amazing and varied, i mean, come on, a vault entirely taken over by vegetation and populated with things that look like the "green man!" version of the Decent monsters? Hell yes. Tell Lamplight Caverns to go get stuffed inside a kindergarten cubby.

NPC's: I begrudgingly admit that Boone is a better shot than me, and i think that smug son of a b*tch knows it...While he freaks me out with his "1000 yard" stare i would GLADLY take him over some extremely hollow BoS paladin with a hammer and crappy speech tree. And stalking legionaries and Deathclaws as a silent sniper team NEVER gets old.

GUNS GUNS GUNS! I felt like in FO3 I had a choice of about 4 guns and there same-y feeling other guns; they're really wasn't much variety. Now? I still have my .38 because loading it looks so DAMN COOL.

Story: While i do love Liam Neeson and totally wish he was my dad (or Qui-Gon jin....) im really not all that motivated to try and track his ass down for some bozo "fresh (and oddly magically healing) water" crap. The ending was equally ridiculous and correct me if im wrong, but didnt general Autumn die when Dad hit the "nuke-da-room" button? why did he show up twice? Now, two giant armies squaring off on the hoover dam, one being an ineffectual-Big-Government-that-means-well-but-falls-short the other being totally awesome looking but also utter-evil slave driving Romans? and a shiny seedy Las Vegas in the middle?
Dear dairy: HELLS YES.

While i could write this for a few more paragraphs, Ive got a level 6 brawler that was just walked into a town called Nipton, and man, that guy sure is stoked about winning "the lottery".


Happy trails cowboys...

PS I know i hated on FO3 alot there but i still "hated it" enough to play through twice

While I agree with you, could you make an effort to NOT post spoilers on the no spoilers forum? For example, "a whole vault full of " bleep.

Thank you.

Agreed.

Long live FONV.
