I personally feel the New Vegas is a very worthy addition to the series. Okay, problems with the engine (first two games had many problems too) but the quest design, the story etc. is worthy of a true sequel. To be honest I think of New Vegas as the real Fallout 3. Fallout 3 is the spin off...

I love the story of New Vegas, the main elements of it anyway. Two expanding imperialistic empires coming into conflict over untamed lands... Why on Earth would we want any of these alternative elements suggested? Also some of these 'ideas' are merely you taking the existing idea and...

New Vegas anyone?

Yep, power mad indeed! BWA HA HA HA HAAAA!! No, I wouldn't interfere with the design process too much. Just outline and set the story and setting, write a lot of the script, pick a lot of the music, design most of the characters, propose the game mechanics, you know....

Fallout 4 would better if I was installed as the almighty overseer of the project, with my advisers hand picked from this site.

I love the 10mm SMG; it can be quite effective, plus it looks cool! I don't use it in big fights obviously but find it rather fun to shoot with. It does depend what type of character I play too... I also think the cleaver can be useful. On topic though I'm no fan of the golf club, the switch...

Yes, the NCR hasn't managed to bring Vegas under its jurisdiction yet. Give me a few more hours and i'll be standing on the legates neck and sticking a flag in the sand. Behind me lay the corpses of House, the Fiends, the Khans and all who oppose my glorious civilisation! !

Boom! Exactly. Maybe they are proud, maybe they did put heart and soul into it. Yet the resulting finished work has no heart or soul. No depth. Doesn't say much for the heart of the designers, suggests they may take a shallow view towards things. I wasn't going around nitpicking about farming...

Fucking aliens...........UGH. They take on little easter egg random encounter JOKE in Fallout 2, a fucking silly joke and make it part of the actual Fallout 3 story. Stupid. I mean how many things happen to this lone wanderer, knight in shining armour douche bag? Spends all this time fixing...

These discussions are SO annoying. Fallout 3 had a linear story, not New Vegas, Fallout 3 had one outcome, one way to play. Oh, yeah, you could poison the water pointlessly for an extra sentence in the epilogue, wowee. The courier gets shot in the head and tries to find the guy who did it-...

It is important to note that Shady Sands was founded and initially populated by the residents of Vault 15. This vault was purposefully multi-cultural as part of the experiment therefore it is clear that the people of Shady sands have diverse cultural backgrounds. I see Indian culture in the...

- Yes, all of this I agree with. I should have read this before my hasty post, all correct points. Thank you. Indeed, the NCRs expansion majorly reflects the nineteenth century expansion of the United States across the untamed, hostile west; hence why I love the story of New Vegas. It appeals to...

'Are you saying that small communities are necessarily supposed to show a nonwestern culture while nations (or countries is what you meant anyway) are necessarily supposed to show a western culture? In case you didn't know, India is a country, so are China, Irak, etc... So sorry but I don't see...

Well to be fair Shady Sands was just a village, a very small community. The NCR is a nation, a combination of towns which became states, hence the NCR is not just based on the small community from Fallout 1. Plus I think you've made too much of the 'indian' culture thing, Aradesh yes, but I...

Christ almighty, what is with this? A DLC that lets you explore after the game's ending is simply not viable, end of story. With the way the game was designed, the tech, it. Is. Not. Viable. There is nothing to discuss and there is no argument to have! It is not viable, there, clear. In Mass...

I was caught by surprise by these things. Tried to walk over the hills to get nearer Vegas the shorter way. When I met these I was not expecting them to be as tough and deadly as they are. As discussed there is nothing like them in Fallout 3 really. They are a serious killer early in the game...

I may also point out that Fallout 1 and 2 were amazing games but, for me, still hold the 'buggiest games ever' title. Especially Fallout 2, until the multiple patches those games were a technical mess. This is because the developers stretched themselves, they thought creatively and sometimes...

I really don't agree that each sequel should go to a new place. That goes on indefinitely until every city has its duplicate story to tell about being saved from some mythical hero. Why not develop and enrich the current story?

I think the NCR expanding precariously into the Mojave should be the canon ending. It would be better if the courier was not this 'great hero', 'saviour of humanity' figure again. He is a hero, put a hero only NCR's regime. That is not an 'apple pie' ending as someone previously suggested...

Phew, these comments are reassuring. Though I hope at least ONE of the DLCs is a relatively big one, Broken Steel, Point Lookout had a good lot of content and you'd expect better writing in Vegas DLC. Should be good because I'll be starting a new game to experience the DLC with. Well, off to...
