I want to buy new vegas BUT... can any one answer my questio

Post » Thu May 10, 2012 12:24 am

Well I gave up on Skyrim, game just does not make it fun for me, unless I just do Dark brotherhood Quests only....I like being an assassin. Yet once the main quest line is done the other quest you get from the mother gets very boring after awile.

Fallout New Vegas is ok, Weapons/Ammo love it more realistic for me. Iron sights, scopes and Weapons mods= more realistic game play for me. Love sniping enemies at 3X the distance then VATS will work. Lone Sniper is the way I like to play that game. Yet I find the lack of areas and the move to make you go the route of the story line very boring. I have finnished New Vegas 3 times and found every area you can find. Yet I just can’t find the energy to do it all over again even with the Weapons/Ammo/weapon mods.

Fallout 3 is the best one for my style of game play, yet I don’t like the weapons and the very lack of ammo choices. I wish Bethesda would make a patch to make Fallout 3 uses the weapons/Ammo/Weapon mods of New Vegas then Fallout 3 would be the best game of Choice.

Now if anyone says get the mod, YOU CANT MOD PS3 games.

You've played New Vegas three times and you still haven't discovered that you can go anywhere you want as soon as you step out of the Doc's house? You can skip an entire section of the map, story and main quest by going straight to New Vegas. This game doesn't force you into doing anything.

Note: Try the PC version.

Well I'm not going to get into a argument with you about it, I find it does. Once certain areas are cleared of people, animals or bugs. They never come back in some areas do to it was a quest related area. Once you have found every place, picked everylock, hacked every computer and killed everyone who needed to be killed or just killed everyone outside of New Vegas. New Vegas just becomes borning same old same old. Nothing new to find, nothing new to do, and nothing left to do but to finish it. That normal only takes about a week and 1/2 for me to do that. In fallout 3 a week and a 1/2 I have not even scrached the suface of the game yet.

I started with the PC version with Fallout 3, but due to my wife broke my computer an accident she said. I have yet had the funds to replace it. So I went and bought the PS3 Version of Fallout 3, New Vegas and Skyrim. So I can at least play them if I want to. While I save up for a new computer.

You don't have to kill everyone, right now I'm playing a near pacifist playthrough. I've killed two people so far, I'm about 10 hours in and I doubt that I'll have to kill anymore. New Vegas is an RPG, not an FPS. It all depends on your choice, you can choose to kill everyone in your path, play a complete pacifist or roleplay as someone else entirely. The game allows this.

I'm on my fifth or sixth playthrough so far and I'm still loving it. Though I guess this type of game isn't for everyone.

Its not really going back to half assed writing. F1 & 2 had good writing (maybe not revelutionary, but at least not copied).. F3 was the bad egg. Suprised Bethesda devaloped it? Nah.

I didn't say Fallout and Fallout 2 had bad writing. I said Fallout 3 had writing. So we agree. My point is that alot of new fans to Fallout thanks to Fallout 3, went out and played the originals games. They came to see what good writing is. Then New Vegas came out and more Betheda fans were exposed to good writing. So if Bethesda goes back to how they wrote Fallout 3 (total crap) then alot of people would be pissed.

Well sorry not a pacifist so, I play a lot differently. Like I hate the legion for certain reasons, so I make nice with NCR by helping them out if it fits within my characters set up. Like I go and rescue several of their soldiers at Nelson, but even after that if you talk with the ranger at the top of the hill after that. You get the "you go down that road and make nice with the legion I will pop you when you come back." Its like **** u pal, I just killed all the legion for you saved your soldiers down there and you want to talk tuff with me. So I say I need to cut you down a bit, first time thinking we will fight with fist, but no he starts to shoot at me and several other so I'm left with having to kill them....

I'm saying that you can roleplay as a pacifist, a psychopath, a Legion spy, a former Enclave officer, a tribal, a caravan master or just make the choices you would make. This is the point of a roleplaying game, but I can certainly see that it would get boring doing the same thing over and over again.

Did i play a different Skyrim to you lot? On ps3 it has more voice actors then pretty much any other game in existence...

As for which game to get i would go with new vegas. Its a lot deeper than fallout 3 but both are fun. Fallout 3 is more underground exploration if you like dungeons. Its Oblivion with guns. New vegas has depth and more options ie making ammo etc, its skyrim with guns :)

Probably did, I have the PS3 version and there were, at most, six people who voiced the entire game.

Unless every other game in existence has one or two voice actors than I guess we did play the same version.

Skyrim had the same voice actors, using different voices.

Fallout 3 might be the better choice for you. It has endless exploration and a lot of random encounters to keep things interesting. Also, Enemies are random and scaled so you can almost walk anywhere without getting killed at low levels. New Vegas has preset spawns so your pretty much going to be walking on a linear path and after a while you'll know where everything is and things can become quite predictable.However,if your into story and quests more then New Vegas excels in that. I highly recommend getting both to be honest but from what you stated, I say get Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition.

New Vegas in exploration is...

Well, cut down the dungeons from Skyrim about 90%.
The dungeons in FNV are small, some caves are even just two rooms.
The gameworld is also filled with invisible walls to guide you on the path for the main quest.

New Vegas isn't a exploration game. It's a roleplaying game. It's about dialogue, character interaction, questing, choices, AnC but not about exploration.
So if you want a sigh-seeing game for your sandbox needs then get Fallout 3 or Oblivion, but New Vegas is not like them. It's an RPG.

It isn't a dungeon crawler type of game but it's more satisfying than Skyrim because the best weapons are found in pretty hard to find locations, like in Skyrim you will make those weapons yourself and give the loot to your companion or store it away in a chest for "rare items".
