In some ways I liked New Vegas better in some ways Fallout 3 : Fallout: New Vegas

I just spent a long time back in F3, playing various characters. I like the overall gameplay of F3 because it allows a greater degree of good vs. evil: it seems like in NV, you are forced to do bad things no matter who you side with. More realistic, maybe, but more confining. And no matter who wins, people who don't deserve to suffer do. Still, I will say that NV allows the player a greater variety of quests and outcomes.

Wait...you are saying that a game that has a huge amount of morally grey choices is more confining then a game with a small amount of unrealistic good vs. evil choices?

Confining?

So:

More choices = more confining
Less choices = less confining

Confining: restricting the scope of freedom or action.

So you're saying that more choices equals less freedom? Wat? :confused:

I'm with you guys. to me it just sounds like he wants to do less thinking and have all the two paths clearly marked....

That's one of the things that actually makes FO3 worse for me. Where's the fun when the game clearly states to you what is good and what is bad?

That does sound ' Odd-ish '
