Thread 723280446

What do you prefer and why do you like it?
I prefer both

a thead died for this

>>723280446 (OP)
it's the same open world action "rpg" shit. I don't like either

>>723280446 (OP)
I love FO3 but I do not care about NV. I was big into Morrowind and Oblivion put me off. FO3 felt like the real and good Oblivion to me. I got attached to the story being told, and I lived and breathed the setting. It feels very old school computer RPG to me. NV by comparison just feels way to fluffy, ballooning out all sides, things tacked on just to be different, it feels very very standalone expansion pack to me. FO3 is Ocarina of Time, NV is Majora's Mask.

>>723280446 (OP)
>I prefer both
Based. Same.
Both are great for different reasons. While they're mechanically similar, Fallout 3 is something I play when I'm in the mood for a zany and atmospheric post-apocalyptic setting. Fallout New Vegas is more for a western, pseudo-political more story-focus experience.

It's really retarded how people have them make into opposites when, chances are, if you like one, you'll like the other.
The only reason why you wouldn't is if you don't care for the atmosphere/world-building-direction/tone of one of the two games. Which does happen to some autists who can't grasp that Fallout 3 doesn't take itself as seriously as New Vegas.

>>723280640
Majora's Mask is awesome, though.

>>723280446 (OP)
ive played both for hundreds of hours.
i have no desire to play either of them ever again but in ten years time i may feel differently.
fallout 4 on the other hand, ive been playing every year since 2015, thousands of hours logged, and i have no intention of stopping
maybe one of these years ill finally get bored but i genuinely consider it bethesdas masterpiece

>>723280753
Why is it so good for u? Never played it

>>723280897
Majora's Mask is way more interesting narratively than OoT. This is just a fact.

>>723280845
Great art direction, great combat, great variety of builds, settlement building is amazing, extremely stable for a bgs game, the best mod support out of any bethesda game.
The main story is as fucking terrible as everyone will tell you but ive only beaten it four or five times for the faction achievements
Some of the side quests are pretty stupid too.
The key to enjoying fallout 4 is to turn on survival mode and treat it like a survival roleplaying game rather than a computer roleplaying game like 3 and new vegas.

>>723280446 (OP)
New Vegas is objectively the superior way to play Fallout 3 through TTW considering its extensive mod support. Regardless of which games story you might prefer.
>>723281095
Fallout 4 is one of the worst video games I've had the misfortune of playing and you are a tasteless retard.

>>723281458
Bro why so rude? How am i tasteless for playing a game for thousands of hours that i enjoy?? Are you implying that id be bored for all of those hours?

>>723281578
No I'm implying you're easily entertained because you have low IQ

>>723280845
the varied enemy ai and weak points along with more varied and vertical combat arenas make it their most enjoyable game for combat. the value of junk items makes looting and scavenging fun and worthwhile

>>723281095
>Great art direction
nigga are you serious, it's one of the ugliest games ever made

>>723281578
He's just jealous, I've seen their type. They enshrine games on pedestals and jerk each other off about it. Ask them how often they played it, and the answer is like once a few years ago. They goad each other into thinking it's so great, rather than playing and enjoying a gem like Fallout 4.

>>723281619
>bethestard insulting the iq of others

>>723280446 (OP)
3

>>723280446 (OP)
Used to prefer 3 but that might have just been nostalgia because I have a hard time bringing myself to play it these days, whereas I don't have any problem replaying NV

>>723281578
I really don't like Fallout 4 and you'd be hard-pressed to find a longtime fan being pleased with it but if you enjoy the game more power to you, I wish I could enjoy it too. Most Fallout fans are less tolerant though so that's why you're getting this kind of response.

>>723281808
The main thing F4 has going for it is that you can ignore the rest of the game and just build bases.

>>723281993
>F4 is good because you can ignore all the horrible story elements and just play a watered down minecraft!
trash

>>723282092
>reading comprehension
I never said it was good, I said it has that going for it.

This debate is timeless, it's really just personal preference at this point. NV has more dense gameplay dynamics but F3 is cozier and has a better post-apocalyptic atmosphere.

>>723280446 (OP)
Oh, another bait thread. I'll bite tho
>why would i play bos spin-off?

>>723282428
your first person shooter will never be an actual fallout game

>>723282428
ftfy

>>723282483
It's a direct sequel unlike whatever jeethesda made.

4 = 3 > 1 > 2 >> 76 > NV

>>723282428
If you like New Vegas it's a very similar game.
It's also really fun, plenty of really good side quests, great dungeons. Fun characters.
It's good.

>>723280446 (OP)
FO3 is corridor shooter
NV is RPG

>>723280446 (OP)
It's 2025 man there's have quote possibly been thousands of threads about this. Let this go

>>723282662
no it's not. it's an oblivion mod like fallout 3

>>723282752
They have the same exact RPG mechanics.
Also, if you have actually played a table top RPG you'd know this but, RPGs are mostly combat

TTW is the Odyssey of gaming

This makes you realize how generous New Vegas is with quest rewards.

Wasteland 3

>>723283091
>Only graphics wise.
It's the same engine.
Same exact mechanics.
Leveling? The same.
Combat? The same.
Physics? The same.
The UI? The same.

Even the quest design is pretty similar. Albeit New Vegas has more quests, including a whole slew of linear quests, and Fallout 3 doesn't have small quests like that.

>>723283947
nuh uh, there's no locations from FO2.

>>723280446 (OP)
New Vegas, because Fallout 3 is shit.

New Vegas just has the vastly superior narrative, pacing, world design, level design and crafting.

>>723284002
Nigger, I'm not saying you have to like both, but they are very similar games. Objectively

>>723280446 (OP)
Based ejoyer man.

Me I like 3. I like the atmosphere and the emotional sincerity of the narrative. I also prefer the gameplay in 3 because I felt in new vegas it was too snappy and rigid. And the characters in 3 are iconic. Moira is my main Falloutfu.

>>723284050
Objectively, you need to shut up. All these disections are useless and not making you seem any smarter.

now that the dust has FINALLY settled can we agree that fallout is a series?

>>723284274
Mmm pringles.

It isn't.

>>723280446 (OP)
New Vegas has my vote

>>723280660
I like both. As much as the western setting is cool, i like that Fallout 3 is set in the DC Maryland Virginia area. I grew up in Virginia, so it was cool to see a game set there. It's also more of a wasteland and post apocalyptic feel. The set up is great where you have to leave the vault. You feel like such a pussy in a dangerous world. It helps to emphasize how out of touch you are because of being in the vault. It makes the beginning more hilarious. New Vegas is cool, the writing is better, but it's like post post apocalyptic. It's very political as well which has become cringey over time. The OG Fallouts were set in the West, but i love Eastern settings.

>>723285054
New Vegas isn't THAT bad

>>723284274
>his cock is smaller than the pringles can
ngmi

>>723281458
I just wished Fallout 4 was better. I don't like the way it looks, the story sucks, and some of the side quests are stupid. Also, a lot of the characters are cringe and so are some of the factions. That anon that said just turn on survival mode is right. If it was just a game about surviving in the wasteland, and managing settlements, it would be really good.

>>723282428
the real tier list

>>723280446 (OP)
the only way Fallout 3 is playable is through TTW and a prism of thinking about it like a big but dull and poorly written DLC for NV

>>723288995
>DLC for NV
NV is 3s DLC according to the lead designer

>>723289079
which doubles the irony

>>723284046
the "who the fuck shot me in the head" meme format is the shortest way to explain why NV story was a step up from bethesda games

>>723289101
>>723288995
Fallout 3 should have been the spin off. New Vegas is 3. 3 and 4 are spinoffs. 3 was cool, but 4 sucks. There's a good game in there but it's surrounded by shit.

>>723289380
More like its a meme about why NV's plot makes no sense
-Fallout 1, 2, 3, 4, and 76, all use the plot of "person from isolated community sent out into the wastes to save their family/community from dying" because it creates an in-universe reason why the player character, who starts off as a no skilled nobody, would be braving the irradiated, mutant filled, wastes.
-New Vegas doesn't have any of that. The Courier has no ties to the Mojave, the people in it, or the NCR or Legion War. Everything that happens in NV is about as relevant to the Courier as a civil war in China would be to the average American.

NV's plot is the equivalent of being an Uber Eats driver, some gang members hold you up and steal your delivery, and then you go on a one man rampage through gang territory because reasons.

>>723289380
The premise itself isn't bad. It's just that Bethesda is cringe.

>>723280446 (OP)
Fallout New Vegas. 3 is dogshit.

>>723289616
It doesn't fit with the Fallout theme. It would work as a standalone action fps. Angry dude on a rampage, but as a Fallout game it is kinda retarded.

>>723280446 (OP)
new vegas feels like the straight upgrade for fallout 3, NV has everything f3 has plus more, except the story which is a positive because the story in 3 is okay but the ending really does ruin it for me
>"you gotta sacrifice dude? why? because we say so"
>but what about faw-
>"no, its like your destiny bro!"
that was so retarded

>>723289958
This only happened becuase, according to Bethesda, Fallout 3 was orignally not going to have companions(since companions weren't really a thing in Morrowind/Oblivion) and they only got added at the very last minute of the game's development and they didn't have time to redo the ending quest to meaningfully account for them. Though they fixed it in Broken Steel.

>>723289616
>lose your memory
>the only lead you have on your past life is the guy who shot you in the head
>go luck for him for revenge and to figure out who you are
there, didnt even thought about it that hard to come up with a good reason, maybe think a bit harder next time

Playing NV for the first time, doing a melee build because I'm playing on Deck and can't aim for shit with a controller. The melee weapons are great but I keep getting destroyed by guns. Also, how bad is it that I don't have any of the DLC?

>>723290137
>lose your memory
You didn't lose your memory. Chris Avellone explicitly said the Courier does not have amnesia, nor does NV ever say the Courier has amnesia.

>>723280446 (OP)
3. Better atmosphere, story, just about everything except gun customization and being able to aim down sights.
Also, 3 is the game that put Fallout on the map. A lot of retard simps on these boards tend to forget that NV wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for 3.

>>723280640
I share this exact opinion.

>>723290052
why couldnt they just kill fawkes instead? i guess its a good excuse, but the ending is still shit and having to pay for a dlc to get a better ending is retarded, on top of that, it doesnt look like it was a matter of time constrains, i say this because of how bitter and angry the npcs react when you decide that having le epic hero death is not worth it when you can send your radiation inmune friend to do the job, to me it seems like they saw how shit their ending was and couldnt just leave it like that, but they werent happy with the players for calling out their retardation

>>723280446 (OP)
difficult to say
on one hand I prefer Fallout 3's world much more than new vegas on the other New Vegas has far better gameplay with more quests and gun variety (dlcs too)
so Fallout 3 in TTW even with all the brainrot they have in their community

>>723290362
>i say this because of how bitter and angry the npcs react when you decide that having le epic hero death is not worth it when you can send your radiation inmune friend to do the job
this is just being shitty and a coward. Even if they are radiation immune they still could've died if the machine blew up or something. you're basically shirking your own responsibility to make someone else do it for you, which is a coward's action.

>fallout 3
better exploration and atmosphere, bad storyline execution, rpg progression is basic and broken, was one of my first 360 games and had fun. 8/10 just because I like grimy/pissfilter games from this era.

>fallout new vegas
better rpg and presentation, is basically fallout 3 done right, sometimes it feels too linear, (savegame corrupted), 9/10

still, people are too harsh to fallout 3, comparing it to new vegas is like comparing GTA III to San Andreas. fallout 3 walked so new vegas could run

>>723290193
then why doesnt the courier remembers the divide?

>>723290548
https://www.gamebanshee.com/interviews/105885-fallout-new-vegas-and-dlc-post-mortem-interview-part-two.html
>Gamebanshee: Confirm once again, if you will, that the courier did not suffer from either partial or total amnesia.

>Chris Avellone: The player does not have amnesia. The idea was that the package the player delivered was a standard fetch quest in New Vegas, one you might forget about - but the people you deliver it to don't. There are a 100+ quests in the Mojave... people would be hard-pressed to remember them all 3-5 years later, and the package that went to the Divide was one of them. Again, all we knew about the player is (1) he had once been a courier, (2) he had travelled in the West and the Long 15, (3) based on the start of FNV, it's true that the Courier could have delivered any manner of incredibly dangerous pieces of technology without understanding the forces they could unleash. What could be a simple delivery for you could spell the end of a town, community, or city - or reshape the boundaries of the wasteland.

>>723283646
3 fags are legit mentally ill.

>>723290713
Yet NV is the game that attracts all the trannies

>>723290453
no, it isnt, its called not being a complete and utter retard, picking the suicidal option when there is the option to still complete the objective and dont die(without any downsides) is not bravery, its being stupid, and tell me where exactly does it say that machine could randomly explode

>>723290826
> and tell me where exactly does it say that machine could randomly explode
Literally Madison Li contacts you over the intercom and tells you that you HAVE to turn on the Purifier right then because damage sustained during the battle between the BoS and Enclave caused damage resulting in a pressure build up that is going to cause the whole thing to explode if you don't turn it on right then. The threat of explosion is the whole fucking reason you turn it on you massive, illiterate, retard.

>>723290243
based and red pilled

>>723290224
they actively ignore it, and say shit like Majora's Mask is better than Ocarina of Time

>>723290362
>having to pay for a dlc to get a better ending
This is such a standard thing though, not every game is finished by the time it's rushed out the door. It's not like sending the super mutant into the chamber is a good ending either. It's the protagonists destiny to go inside himself and complete his father's work.

>>723290778
Yeah definitely mentally ill and obsessed.

Where did all these fallout 3 newfags come from? Unironically defending f3 like this was always a meme.
Saying shit like >>723290224 is just unreal. Who are you people? Go back to whatever shithole you crawled out of.

>>723291335
Fallout 3 revolutionized the game series making it work in 3D, it revived the dead franchise and put it on the map. It was an incredible game that everyone loved. YOU are the newfag, you came along after and goad yourself into thinking New Vegas is some defacto game.

>>723291386
well that makes sense if you realize that actually fallout 1 and 2 weren't that great

>>723291070
you stupid nigger, that's not randomly
>Even if they are radiation immune they still could've died if the machine blew up or something. you're basically shirking your own responsibility to make someone else do it for you
so machine actually wont explode just because you send fawkes, it will explode regardless if no one goes in because it is damaged and it will kill everyone, so your excuse make no sense then, you fucking mentally ill sunhuman, kys

>>723291335
There is a small group of them on here the past few years and they are all deranged.

>>723291435
the first one is great, the second is more of the same but drags on a lot. FO3 is to FO1 as FONV is to FO2.

>>723291548
you fags are fruitcakes

>>723291176
it isnt though, fawkes is right there, it would look good if it was some honorable sacrifice because there is no other way and now you have to save everyone at the cost of your life... but it isnt, making the ending bad and retarded

>>723291674
it's his destiny, his father died in there, it's the final step before there's clean water for the wasteland. it's so fake and gay to send fawks in and that's what separates us, I'm just built different.

>>723291386
I got the preorder lunchbox for 3
It was ok for its time but has aged horribly and before they rewrote the ending it was always a joke, plus most of the DLC was mid.
Oblivion with guns is true. As usual with bethesda games mods made it worth playing

>>723291769
What is wrong with the game? if you say aim down sights I will no read farther.

>>723291572
You spend half the game punching rats, some stats and abilities don't even do anything and the turn based combat is horrendous. I've never actually played a bethesda fallout game or NV just because you guys are so retarded

>>723291905
You start out with a pistol.

>>723291943
okay?

>>723291743
see>>723291548 its just really dumb to paint it as "destiny" when the obvious option is right there, and even if he dies(he doesn't) he still owes you his life for saving him, and its not like the MC did absolutely nothing during the whole story, its thanks to him and his father that the BoS managed to make it that far and defeat the enclave, its just really retarded and unfair for the hero to be thrown under the bus like that after everything he did for them

>>723291870
Bad writing shitty quests no builds. Barely even counts as an rpg. Aim down sights is the least of its problems. But the fact you couldn't tell any of this on your own means you are probably sub 90 iq so none of this matter to you.

>>723291986
>its just really dumb to paint it as "destiny"
it is built up from the very beginning of the game and more when getting in touch with his dad

>>723291986
Usually fallout 3 retards at least have the decency to admit the ending is stupid. Its fucking crazy we have people in here actually defending the "its your destiny" argument.

>>723292032
>Bad writing
Such as what?

There's a few but if you play long enough you can master everything, same as most Fallout games.

>NV's plot is the equivalent of being an Uber Eats driver, some gang members hold you up and steal your delivery, and then you go on a one man rampage through gang territory because reasons.
No, it would be like if some gang members stole your delivery, but the person ordering is one of the most powerful man you've known and he seriously won't like it if he doesn't get his food NOW.
>The Courier has no ties to the Mojave, the people in it, or the NCR or Legion War
Then just work for House if you don't want to roleplay a character who cares? His route is explicitly a "for profit" one.
>person from isolated community sent out into the wastes to save their family/community from dying
A premise is only as good as its execution. And the way it's done in 3 fucking sucks (though 2 isn't as good as 1 in this regard either). I have not, and will not play 4 or 76 so I won't comment on them.

>>723292250

Christ i was memeing about the ESL thing but do you fucking troglodytes really not understand english? Its happened twice in a row now.

For me New Vegas is a bit too clever and wink-winky for its own good. Also I don't like the world as much.
I've seen people criticize Fallout 3 for being empty.
But that's why to me it's the one that most feels like a post-apocalyptic wasteland. It's bleak and empty and oppressively lifeless, and you can point in a random direction and find... possibly nothing. It best captures the A Boy and His Dog experience of any Fallout, which is what I want out of the series moreso than zany characters and 50s kitsch.

>>723292185
and as i said before, it means nothing when they give you the anti-destiny(radiation) dude as a companion and he just so happens to be indebted to you, but suddenly doesnt feel like helping today for unknowns reasons.
if he ever said something like:
>sorry dude, thats too much radiation, even for me
>sorry dude, my fingers are to big/dumb to press the right buttons, is not safe
or at least he got wounded somehow, it would have make sense, unlike "huurrr duuurrr your le destiny" thats just so lame

>>723281578
You are also retarded

>>723292676
Got 'em.

NV is technically the better game but I preferred the theming, aesthetics and world of 3.
NV is too cowboy.

>>723293046
This, when I played it I felt like I was missing a horse mount.

3 is better cause it has a world that feels real and is fun to explore.

>>723292539
this is like getting mad at the ron pearlman npc narrating the endings

3 and NV are really similar games and people who hate one and love the other are weirdo contrarians.

Always like the NCR and their stories but man I wish the legion actually got that cut content feel like it would’ve been made the sides choice a little more grey

>>723293046
I prefer the world and dark themes of 3. But New Vegas is obviously the better game. I know civilization should be further ahead in 3 because of the year the game is set in but it would have been interesting for Bethesda to actually explain why Washington was never able to rebuild the same way the west coast did. But Emil Pagliarulo is a fucking retarded hack so we'll never get closure about anything.

>>723293679
it's because there wasn't any vault settlers with gecks

I’ve since learned why OG fans dislike 3 and have come to appreciate what the originals were going for, but 3 was my entry into the series and that goofy rubble + americana feel is what I got attached to. New Vegas is a weird middle ground to me.

>>723292539
>if the player doesn't see that means its fine
its literally how games work, it was kind of a logical move not to code a separate travel-by-train system just for that one DLC scene and use in-engine solutions such are scripts and models
and FYI, New Vegas doesn't even have that, the NCR trains are straight up teleports with no in-between animations despite playing a bigger role in the games lore and quests

If Bethesda invested in a legacy style Fallout game that is a spiritual successor to 1 and 2 do you think it would do well? Kinda like how there’s 2D and 3D Metroid games?

>>723293865
it would need to have nu-bioware cutscenes for dialogue to sell well

>>723291548
>Portraying Cass as loyal
Anon...

>>723293865

>>723293679
It’s true, but I guess I just don’t find either game to be that compelling as an RPG. I play it to explore and have fun. I had more fun exploring the capital wasteland. New Vegas tried to make a more competent RPG out of it but I think it was built on faulty foundation. Maybe if they had more time.

>>723280446 (OP)
3 because I played it first, and it doesn't have anime voice actors

Do you constantly spam this Italian anon?

Neither game has good romance.
Though if Bethesda paid attention to their audience they would try better in that area.

Fallout NV > Fallout London > Fallout 3 > Fallout 4

Get Larian to do it.

I don't like shitty old janky games

>but it would have been interesting for Bethesda to actually explain why Washington was never able to rebuild the same way the west coast did.
They did explain this, its part of the main quest. D.C. got giga nuked, and its water became so irradiated that it can't be purified easily via normal means. Clean water is necessary to grow food reliably, so farm were out, and people couldn't do more then eek out a basic existence in the area until Jame's purifier was done.

I always love seeing comments like these because its clear people who complain about Fallout 3 either didn't play it, or didn't pay attention.

SAR we must do the needful for independent Fallout new Delhi!

Fallout 3 and Oblivion are trash, but they’re my trash.

Pretty sure the Courier actually gets laid, and not the Lone Wanderer, if you get with Red Lucy. I can't remember if you can bang any of the hookers at Gomorrah in vanilla.

>the best mod support out of any bethesda game
is this the only bethesda game you've played? this is categorically false.
160 of the 250 hard coded .ba2 limit is taken up by the creation club content alone. This is the only bethesda game that you have to manually unfuck *by hand* if you install all the vanilla content.

>>723280446 (OP)
Fallout NV if you want something semi-serious.
Fallout 3 if you just wanna fuck around for a bit.
I recommend Tale of Two Wastelands just for the quality of life stuff that New Vegas adds.

>>723294876
Not him but the 256 limit is for ESMs, not Ba2s. And Most CC stuff uses the ESL format, whose limit is like over 1,000

FNV feels like your actions have more impact and you're changing the world as you go along.
Fo3 feels like the impact of your choices are more smaller in scale but still feel meaningful.
Otherwise, they both excel at different things. While I do prefer FNV more, I will admit that Fo3 actually feels like the world ended.
FNV just feels like a slightly worser version of Nevada.

>>723280753
Yeah, I agree. I can go back to NV and 3 every eight years or so, possibly because I played multiple runs when they released.

4? Every year and a half i wanna jump back in. Storywealth with Mutant Menagerie is my favourite videogame.

I just found 3 painfully boring. Just felt like there wasn’t much interesting to do, none of the few sidequests got me invested. I think for me to enjoy RPG’s, I need to able to have a faction or alignment to identify
my character with instead of it being forced on me idk. Probably why I like 4 more than 3 in spite of its worse dialogue system. I’m also not big on the map: can’t remember any interesting places outside of the capitol, rivet city, and megaton. It was all just a soup of gray and green(though I hate nv’s orange filter as well)

>>723294158
You say that but why are there still skeletons and rubble lying around common areas 200 years after the bombs dropped?

>>723294908
If nv is semi-serious then fo3 is a circus

You can tell with most fallout 3 defense replies here that nobody even expects it to be an rpg. No one even brings up rpg elements. Thats how far the bar has fallen.

>>723295776
The 3d games aren't RPGs

>>723294937
there is a limit to .ba2 archives independent from the plugin limit you're familiar with.
when a plugin (regardless of .esm, .esp or .esl) is loading data it can either pull from raw loose files or load a .ba2 archive, speeding up load times for assets.
all official content is compacted in .ba2 format. Base Game, DLC and Creation Club.
many mods will opt to use .ba2 archives to reduce stuttering, this is why many mods on nexus offer loose file or archive variants. weapons and armours are especially recommended to use archives otherwise the game suffers from noticeable hitches whenever you or an NPC tries to equip said item regardless of the speed of your drive.

I was misremembering the .ba2 archive limit being 250-ish or 500-ish. I was counting the number of creation club entries but I forgot each entry has both a main archive and textures archive, resulting in a doubled amount of archives to the number of actual CC entries.
If you have them all installed and then start installing mods on top you'll find your load order crashing much earlier than you would ordinarily find pre-CC load orders due entirely to the archive limit. You need to decompress each of them yourself if you want to have a beefy load order these days and to my knowledge there's as of yet to be an automated process for it.

I like both and I have a particular soft spot for Fallout 3 due to nostalgia but objectively speaking I think Fallout New Vegas is the better rpg game

>>723294046
I wonder if the Italian schizo caught another ban seeing how there has been zero F3 shitposting threads in the last couple weeks.
Or maybe he got BTFO so hard he decided to get a job and do something with his life? Either that or he finally offed himself

>>723280446 (OP)
Neither. Community mods for classic fallout leagues better anything made by Bethesda.

real people play uranium fever tale of two wastelands

aka both but better with like a gorgillion mods

>>723280446 (OP)
Mechanically, New Vegas is better game, but when it comes to post-apocalyptic atmosphere, Fallout 3 is the winner.

3 is an objectively worse game in every regard and bethestroon cope ITT just solidifies it.

>Such as what?
Little lamplight, the main quest in general is filled with putrid dogshit writing.
>nothing as bad as the astronaut ghouls in New Vegas.
It's an actually pretty great quest especially when you compare it the ones on FO3.
>There's a few
There's practically none. You get perks every level and you also get much more skill points where you can 100% everything. FNV has traits, more varied perks that are not just percentage increases, weapon mods, ammo types, much more varied arsenal, your skills are much more involved in the game altogether.
>baseless conjecture
It's the truth. FNV shat on it so hard that it never recovered.
>stopped reading
We know that FO3fags have terminally low-IQs which is why they're so quick to defend their toddler-ish goyslop writing their game is plagued with.

>>723292548
Bethestroons have never been smart. Why do you think they eat so much slop up?

it's quite cozy that I can open up threads like this and find the schizos I was expecting to see
real small town vibes
