I started two days ago and I have fell in love with the game. Some of the quests and characters you come across are simply outstanding
I finally got around to starting a game in New Vegas yesterday and I have to say that I am impressed with the quality so far, even though I haven't gotten past the first village/town or whatever it is. The gameplay is great and it feels a lot more polished when compared to Fallout 3 IMO. I played Fallout 3 when it came out but I didn't spend a lot of time with it (just enough for one playthrough) before moving back to my Elder Scrolls roots. Never touched any mods for Fallout 3 either but I think after my first playthrough in New Vegas I will try out some of the stuff that was made by the community.
After playing Skyrim the story in New Vegas feels great, I was kinda disappointed with Skyrim's MQ and I didn't enjoy the Radiant stuff at all and being constantly thrown into a quest without even showing an interest in what someone had to say was annoying to say the least.I will be back after I play some more to share my opinions as I get further into the game. I am sure that it will remain good.
Have fun, I started New Vegas maybe 2 or 3 months ago. Then got Fallout 3, both with all the DLC's.
I can't even imagine how it felt waiting for the DLC's when they were released.
Now I'm obsessed with the Fallout universe.
*I also smoked a lot of weed while playing and blew my mind on moar than a few occasions.
If only people on the Skyrim forum could see posts like this... Well... The Fallout Universe would definitely increase in size. I don't know if that's good or bad.
The only Fallout game is dislike is BoS. *Shudder*
