I've found something new...

You can say whatever you want about FNV, but after playing countless playthroughs the game still amazes me, after all this time I discovered something new. Isn't great, even after beating the game more than 20 times making every possible question available, you still find something you missed?

I'm doing a CL tour. I don't like CL to be honest and is not only because all the slavery, misogyny or imperialism (NCR is imperialist too), but the faction is a little unbalanced, portraited too black and white and the background left A LOT to be desired.
I mean, there's some things about CL explained in a very shallow manner that leaves to the player the work to make it up, wich leads to a lot of wild speculation.

Anyway, I'm deviating. I did the Vault 34 run for the quest "Hard Luck Blues" and since I proposed being allied with the Legion, the least I can do is being coherent with my choice, so I doomed the Sharecroper Farms by releasing the Vault Dwelers and letting the radiation poison the water.
I won't spoil the fun for those who do not know this, but to my surprise when wandering the Mojave I've found a bunch of farmers saying they were tired of the rationed water, the pressure of meeting quotas and now with the radiation in the water, that's it, they are lefting the Mojave and hope, quote, "the NCR forget about this cursed land".
I had this experience after cleaning Quarry Junction, someone say to me that "a badass wastelander cleaned the quarry, so the workers will return".

Isn't great when playing the game for some manny times you still find something new?

Excuse any errors, english is not my primary language. ;)

That is the hallmark of a great game. Finding new things pretty much everytime you play. When the game has as many options and outcomes as New Vegas, I always find new things. It was the game with Fallout, Fallout 2 and Tactics. Fallout 3 as well but not so much.

I'm doing a CL play right now and weirdly enough just on that quest. Never done that quest for CL before so be something new and interesting to find. That's always something I do enjoy in a game, when you still after months and months find the odd new thing or are able to have a new outcome at the end. Your English was not that bad, better than many people who speak it as a first language.

I would disagree with you there. Especially when it comes to visiting places Fo3 wins it all. I still haven't been to everywhere in Fallout 3.

No, but that's not the point. The point is that it's new to the OP, and that even after many playthroughs, it's possible to find something you haven't seen before.

Thank you, that's exactly what I mean. The first ME surprised me because of this, even after 7 moths playing straigh, sometimes I still found something new.

I may have been to every FO3 location because I used wiki map the find them with the grid layout, but I'm continually disappointed when I get tempted to search an area in NV, and then say to myself, "bah, you won't find anything!" and just keep walking because I've been disappointed so many time before.

I'm learning to really like NV, but it's because it has tremendous flexibility in the quest lines. Even so. it's a shame then didn't make NV the greatest game ever with great story lines, lots of places to honestly explore, great battles, virtually no hidden walls, etc. (by reinventing FO3 in the Mojave) - plus all the great new features introduced in NV.

The other day, I took slightly different line coming out of Red Rock Canyon and found the basemant in that house at the mouth of the canyon.

It was also pretty cool when I finally got Boone's quest line to work. Now for the others ;)

So the game does have something new almost every time you play through.
