Vegas was just... boring, either boring fecth and/or kill missions, repetitive story missions (why would Yes Man, House, and the NCR all have the same idea that the Boomers could help them?), and all of the interesting missions could only be played two to three times before it just feels way to boring to even think of playing it again... In Fallout 3 I played almost every missions four times... here are my favorite three from F3 and Vegas:
Fallout 3: (In no order)- Fallout: New Vegas: (In no order)
Superhero Gambit- Crazy, Crazy, Crazy
Power of Atom- Beyond the Beef
The Oasis Mission (Forget the name)- House Always Wins Part 1 (Killing Benny was the best part of the House mission quests)

I could name atleast three more Fallout 3 missions and probably one more Vegas mission... Not couning better factions, more humor (dark humor), interesting and memorable places, and a rich guy who shoots random things with a sniper rifle at the top of his tower and you have a much better experience then New Vegas which has The NCR, the founder of RobCo, and.......... more missions (not better but more).

Also Quests in Fallout new VEags were repetive(many courier like quests) and were to smalll like to talk to one guy and quest finished.

*looks at Fallout 1 and Fallout 2*

But 1&2 where opeing you to the world, we've already been open to it for a long time... so we need more interesting quests...such as:

Fallout 3:
Tenpenny Tower (I played it five times)
Big trouble in Big Town
Blood Ties (after you meet the vampires it's incredible)
Reilly's Rangers
Stealing Independence
The Replicate Man
You Gotta Shoot 'Em in the Head
and the unmarked quest where you have to find Argyle...

Vegas:
The Bright Brotherhood Mission

Fallout 3's quests made it feel like a theme-park to me. Couldn't take it serious.
New Vegas on the other hand is a lot more realistic about it's quests.
I don't play Fallout cause of "EPIC MOMMENTS!", I play it to see how civilization, cultures and morals have changed after complete anarchy.

I like seeing the rebuild of civilization as well... But while that happens I want more interesting things to do then Talent Pool...

I say those missions were a little to crazy... maybe if they toned it done a bit (So it's somewhat realistic put still fun)

While those quests were sorta interesting, I find your NV comparsion to be kinda weak. And Vampires.... no, seriously? :rolleyes:
I already posted a list, feel free to compare the F3 theme-park, Spongebob quests to 'em too!

NV offers, like have dan said, more realistic and ordinary quests, as opposed to the 'cool epic adventure' wacky ones of TES or F3. Still, it's subjective BUT I believe that NV is the step in the right direction since it's the closest to the original creators vision(Fallout 1 & 2).



I suppose that these generic bad guys and good guys' cater more to your tastes, since you've come straight from Oblivion. Please don't take this as an offense, it's just an observation.
And Dark humour? Surely, you jest. Todd Howard's(or it was Emil in that video?) reendition of 'dark humour' with limbs getting exploded or pinning heads with railway spikes(yes only this. If you've watched the DD's , the developer actually considered this to be the main factor of DR) is laughable at best, but surely not considered as Fallout dark humour, objectively speaking.

As in dark humor I meant references and freaky (Yet somehow laughable) things... The vampires were cannibals that trained themselves only to drink bloods, not mutilate the corpse...

I admit the have to tone it down a bit but Vegas should atleast have five "epic adventure" quests instead of, convince this person to give up their caravan, deactivate this machine in this building I've never been to but I somehow know the exact location of, go talk to these artillary firing sociopaths... We know you can reload so you'll get it eventually... Reilly's Rangers is somewhat realistsic (as realistic as Fallout can get), still fun so I guess most missions should be more like that... I'd also like epic events happening not long before the game, such as Lucas Simms killing the leader of the raiders in Springvale, or the events leading up to You Gotta Shoot 'Em in the Head... That was insanely awesome and added depth to everybody invovled... So you don't feel like how you feel in Vegas... Things have been waiting for you to show up everywhere (admitedly you feel the same way in some places in F3 too).
