Ok fair enough to that point.
2) I did say that but you were making NV out to be the one that was different when it was not.
The only way I said NV was different was in comparison to F3, I never said it was different to the original games though.
3) Not exactly. Most stories require the beginning to be important but in some cases, like NV, it doesn't even matter by the time the plot ends. If you ask anybody on these forums that really got into the game you would find that almost everybody didn't even care about Benny or his involvement in the game by the Second Battle for Hoover Dam.
Personally I found the start of F3 had a huge impact on me and I immediately felt immersed in the game. I didn't ever feel like that in NV.
4) Are you serious? I just explained to you it was Bethesda's unmovable demand, if they wanted to make a Fallout game it would have to be on the same engine as Fallout 3. Besides Obsidian has one of the worst negotiating teams I have ever heard of.
Yes I am serious I just find it strange that Obsidian would accept using 2008 graphics and still go ahead with a wide release game. Thats just my opinion.
5) Boone is one of the greatest characters in the entire game once you know all about his past and if you like having a sniper watching your back. Victor is far more creative and interesting than anybody in the Capital Wasteland. How about you list a dozen interesting characters from the CW.
I honestly found Boone to be a very boring character. Even with the back story. I'm not going to list F3 characters because I'm only going to get one kind of response from you. And thats pointless, we agree to disagree on that one.
6) Its not for the sake of it. A lot of the dialogue is referencing the originals or giving you very unclear hints in the game. Others are just for those who want to tally up every character in the game's opinion about the factions of NV.
I know you said you have the option to skip a lot of the extra dialogue but I just found that part of the game boring and uneccessary.
7) A game is made for if me if its enjoyable and has choices, Fallout 3 had choice and almost every game over on my shelf has choices in it. Choices make your mark on the game, what fun is it to just be railroaded? I liked how we got extreme choices n F3 like nuking Megaton, I liked looking at the town and thinking "I caused this."
For me choice isn't a vital part of my gameplaying experience. For me its more about the journey you go on and how enjoyable that is. Yes I do like choices in games but its not hugely important to me.
The fun part of the gameplay was things such as iron sights, different types of ammo, and the different fighting styles (the fighting styles was in F3 too but its still feels refreshed).
Iron sights for me wasn't all that big a deal, as I'm more of a VATS man and Iron sights is nothing new in gaming. I actually found the different ammo types annoying, when I'm shooting something I like things to be kept simple.
And the ending was great. I loved F3 but its ending was only decent. Until Broken Steel came around and just completely ruined it, basically making the last mission worthless. In NV you desided the rulers of a powerful region. Whatever you chose would affect all of the southwestern quarter of the US throughout all of history.
I thought F3 ending was more epic.
I do love Bethesda's open worlds, they are the best at it. :foodndrink:
8) I was that way when i first came on these forums, angry about how Fallout: New Vegas ended up, ignorant about the originals, and losing sleep because of Fallout 3.
Then I was convinced to try the originals and after putting several hours into them I came to respect NV for what it was and I eventually got into liking it even more than that.
I even still play the originals, if you can keep in mind they were made in the late 1990s and you can deal with the turn based fights I think you might actually enjoy them.
Ok fair enough to that point.

Nice change in tone at the end there.
Unfortunately I only have a pretty bad laptop so I think it would be pointless trying the old Fallouts until I have a better laptop and that wont be anytime soon because I have cashflow problems :brokencomputer:
