The one thing I have to say I love about Fallout New Vegas is that you don't carry over decisions instead eventually they will declare a certain ending cannon.

My person reason for liking this is simple, it allows me as a player to be free instead of shackled to what decisions I want to be carried over to the next game. While that stuff is fun, it also puts a damper on things if there is say a noob trap suicide mission 2/3 through the game and you have to replay 4 times the same way to get the ending you want for your next game. In FNV I can be as nice a guy or as big an [censored] as I want. I can wage war against any faction and customize my character anyway I like him without having to think about, do I want this to be a decision for the next game.

For technical reasons why I believe Cannon Is better than Carry Over is that even in the end of a series a certain set of decisions will have to be Cannon or the story is just weaker. With Cannon you can have a rich set of decisions in the story which builds great lore (which Fallout has).

Carry over is good for things like long branching romances but in the end I feel it shackles me more than enriches my play experience.

Thoughts.

Cannon is better because it can blow stuff up!


Seriously, though it all depends on what kind of story it is. With wide ranging endings you can't really carry over, but if it's something like with The Witcher, or Mass Effect you can.

Indeed, I'm a bit worried about what ending will be canon.

There is a small chance that Bethesda will get lazy and never confirm which ending is going to be canon.

They might just keep moving around the country.

I hope they just pick one, though.

Agreed.

House is actually GO-TO!

I just find House to provide more of a future for the New Vegas region. I don't care about anything outside of Vegas, and why should I? NCR has all the land they need, and so does Caesar. I'd rather House actually bring Pre-War comfort and tech back as opposed to NCR bringing taxes and half assed protection or Caesar with his savage uncompromising brutality. :shrug:

I prefer canon over carrying saves over.

Off Topic: I am still annoyed about how svcker Punch said that you can carry your saves over from inFAMOUS 1 to inFAMOUS 2, I started a new character and played through then entire game for the fifth time just to find a screen with three options, good, bad, or neutral.

My rant over developers lying is over.



This.
House isn't perfect but he is the best thing for New Vegas and the world if he wins New Vegas.
