Only thing you do is some killing and running.
Legions ending was the best because it posed a somewhat threat because NCR aint full of melee rushers*cough legion cough*

It just the above directed at another faction and the fight was rather boring for me
Very unhappy with the endings compared to fallout 3s arrival of

ROBOT

im thinking this shoud go in the spoiler forum but hay im no mod

i thort the ending was great. i chose to go with mr house. after i smashed the leigon, the ncr showed up to thank me for my help in protecting the dam, only for me to hand them a letter of surrender for them to sign lol thort that was great. going for NCR next!

At least we have 4 endings along with side quest endings instead of the "good and bad" ending of FO3, wich changes NOTHING to the Wasteland

Was the biggest problem in the F3's final mission. I didn't have to do anything. Atleast in New Vegas there's plenty of enemies, and a boss that doesn't go down with a single head shot.

GAMEPLAY-wise New Vegas has much better final mission.

Geez, have i been drafted to the New Vegas Defense Force?! :ahhh:

Off-topic BTW, i think i saw Liberty Prime in a painting in Camp Golf?

Yes, since House owned RobCo Pre-War, he was posing with his greatest invention. It was probably based on to http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101106050547/fallout/images/4/49/Howard_Hughes.jpg of real-life Vegas baron, aviator, and recluse Howard Hughes, whom House is based on.

I am happy with all the endings. They beat the hell out of FO3's ending and they are like the originals. Second you don't have to kill to finish every ending. Great thing about New Vegas, you can Talk your way out of having to kill for pretty much every quest.

Yes are you kidding me the endings are great and the last mission is the same. It gives you a few chooses of how to defend or annihilate the Dam. Plus the actual ending reflects all of you decisions unlike FO3 where it's BoS always wins!

Four different endings means too difficult to plan for four different post games, thus end of the game is end of the game.

You're unhappy that they were fighting over the dam in the MQ, you're unhappy that they were fighting over the most important resource in the region? Would you rather the big climactic battle be held at Brocflower Cave?

How could you say that all you do is run and gun? maybe you got your games mixed up but FO3 is the one where you run and shoot and do nothing tactical. In NV you have to activate things in the Dam, take out snipers, upload software, etc.

Yesman - Dislike.
House - Havent done yet.
NCR - Dislike.
NCR + Brotherhood - Like.
Legion - Like.

There wasn't a good and bad anything in Fallout 3. You made one shallow choice at the end (which had virtually no ramifications in Broken Steel), that's it. Everything else forced you to help those stupid knights-in-shining-armor-nutcases. Why couldn't I have stormed the Jefferson Memorial with the Enclave? Tried to operate artillery to take down Liberty Prime before he got to us? THAT would have been choice.

I love EVERY ending in New Vegas because they are at their core different.

Havent Completed One

**Also... Never got far enough in FO3 to see the "arrival of ROBOT /prime".

I've also finished all four. I agree - the Legion ending was MUCH more intense. The other three were pretty much interchangeable until you get to the end slide shows.

That being said, I found myself rolling my eyes at the "Optimus Prime" (Liberty Prime) ending of FO3. I'm much happier w/ the FNV endings.

This

So much unrealized potential w/ FO3. I never understood why you couldn't side w/ Enclave for quests. Yeah, you could carry out certain things against the wasteland and BoS (mainly in broken steel) but otherwise it was so linear/one sided.

At least FNV gives you options.

Obviously they have thought about House pulling out Vegas Prime out of his butt, but drop it in favor of whatever.

I know it's unfashionable, but I liked "Take It Back!", ROBOT and all. I'd managed to avoid spoiling the ending so I was genuinely suprised when Elder Lyons asked Rothschild "Is it ready?". Running outside to meet up with LP and the rest of the Pride that first time really made me feel like I was part of something larger than myself...something I rarely feel in a game. Then of course, I get to the Purifier only to find I'm expected to offer myself up as some sort of human sacrifice and kill myself. That part svcked. But I did love following Liberty Prime as he went through the Enclave like a 40 ft tall Arnold in one of his action movies.

Oh...and Lanius can be put down with as few as two shots....I sneak critted that freak with a pair of JSPs to the face. Let's see Inculta try to hold the Legion together alone.

I was a little disappointed with the overall length and complexity of the final mission, but it's I think it's a lot better than the Fallout 3 ending.
The slides and being able to [speech] your way out of a few battles really made up for most of it.

Also in my game many legionaries were carrying marksman rifles, hunting rifles and what not and the only real melee characters were the praetorians with their insane ballistic fists and health.

I did that too. Poor guy was expecting a fair fight :lmao:

The Yes-Man and House endings are pretty much identical; the NCR ending shifts the penultimate scene. I haven't played the legion ending -- how different is it? Is it worth feeling like a dirty legionnaire to see?

I don't think I'll ever play the Legion ending. I just can't see myself handing over the Mojave to a bunch of slavers - especially if I were playing a female character. I could just see her being forced to become the consort of whoever is running CL or having to quit the region post-haste (I mean, you will run out of ammo or luck eventually).

Unfortunately I wasn't able to arrange to chuck General Whatsisface off the dam; I had to shoot him. Pity; I saw that bit on YouTube and found it very amusing.

the ending battle is fine the "ending" itself is stupid, too bad obsidian hasn't learned a lesson in this area, watching a 5 minute slideshow isn't satisfying, actually playing the game is the fun part, not watching ending slides, everyone loves comparing new vegas ending to fallout 3 ending, who cares about endings, everyone keeps talking about all these changes the end makes, well you don't get to see the changes since the game is over,, actually in fallout 3 you get to see some changes, no more megaton if you blow it up, the water is flowing from the purifier, if you help bigtown its populated with people again, so i prefer actual in game changes, not fake after the game is over in your head changes.

I have to be able to get into the story of the game, and New Vegas made that much easier IMO. So I don't mind ending the game and wrapping up the story.

That being said, and as much as I hate to admit it, I kinda agree with this guy. It would have been nice to be able to continue on in a game with real-time changes. But I feel like that sort of thing is a long way off, and there aren't any games that I know of that have executed this idea effectively.

It was satisfying to me. And I bet there were plenty more people who enjoyed them.


You are kind of right, I don't remember seeing any changes as a result of your actions. Sure some aren't supposed to be immediate, but some things could have direct influence on the game. Like the NCR actually having troop patrol Nelson rather than having your assault force stand around in a tight group.
By the way most Fallout 3 changes happen after the quest is over. A quick immediate change, whereas the slides provide us with the changes over a longer period of time, which can only be shown after the end (can't have the in-determined future happening straight away).
