I really enjoyed fallout 3 when it first came out. But that's par for the course with Obsidian. I got it on PC later and installed the unofficial patch and it was vastly better, but I really shouldn't have to seek out enthusiast support to get a game to work well. That said, it was a broken mess at launch and the game is terribly optimised for consoles. I love the setting, I always get a kick out of "western" motifs and I got to play as a spaghetti western styled gunslinger in a sci-fi game. New Vegas gave me a nostalgia buzz because it felt like the old Fallout games.
We kind of got that in NV with Wild Wasteland but unfortunately is uses up one of your trait spots. I'd also like to see some of the humour of Fallout 2 return. The DLC in New Vegas often felt like a chore but I did like that all of them are somehow connected to the Courier and/or the events in the main game, and sometimes even connected to each other.Īs a personal preference I prefer the Fallout 1/2/NV style wasteland where people have already kind of picked up the pieces and are back to the usual routine as opposed to the bleak depressing post apocalypse of the Capital Wasteland.
I also hope they keep damage threshold over damage resistance, or do a combination of the two like in the first two games.
In New Vegas when planning a character I sometimes agonise over which perks I have to leave out, in Fallout 3 you pick the twenty or so good perks then fill the rest with whatever seems novel. Fallout 3 has very few perks tailored for specific builds as well as a lot of useless perks, and you have so many skill points to throw around you inevitably end up as an overpowered jack of all trades by the time you hit the level cap. Things I like more about New Vegas that I would like to see return in Fallout 4: the open endedness and various factions, great companions, weapon and ammo variety. Obsidian did very well on the followers.įallout 3 got me into the series and I loved it the first time I played it but subsequent attempts at playing it I just find myself really bored. I can't name anyone besides Butch as a follower in 3, I can name every single one in New Vegas. New Vegas wins with characters hands down though. One continues the campaign, one involves aliens, one virtual reality, and one has the most difficult choice I've ever made in a video game. The DLC is so much better than New Vegas'. Each unique with some great places to explore. The world design is spectacular, we have places like Arfu, Little Lamplight (no I'm not discussing how realistic it is), Paradise Falls, Oasis, Rivet City, and Megaton. Each quest was well made and had an effect on the world, New Vegas was just filled with repetitive quest. 3 wins mostly because of world design, DLC, and quest. But I still prefer it more than New Vegas. Sure it runs like ass on pretty much everything, only system I could play it decently on was my 360.
