Wow,didn't know that they were that pathetic.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/comments/2egcyu/whati_dont_even/ F3 quests are generally longer and can be divided to make few smaller quests, while in NV there is a lot of fetch quests and simple quests that are ended after one speech check. "The House Has Gone Bust" and few others can hardly...

There are things that mods can fix - balance, difficulty, moar guns and armour, etc. But no ammount of mods can fix shitty writing, idiotic setting or bad quest design. Yet another reason why NV is superior game.

Inconsistent =/= contradictory. For example, here is article about inconsistency in aesthetics. What I mean by inconsistent is not cohesive. New Reno for me and many others, like Vault Dweller or Brother None (the link), just doesn't fit well into setting. It's kinda theme park design.

For me, it was inconsistent. If there is one ghost, why aren't there others? I mean, it's world in which 99% of population died and those left are still murdering each other. New Reno felt inconsistent within the game world. Vault Dweller ridiculed all that nonsense in his review, saying that...

Or were they? As much as I like Avellone's work in Planescape: Torment and New Vegas, I think that his input in Fallout 2 actually harmed the series. You wouldn't believe how many arguments with F3 fans I had over nonsensical setting of Fallout 3... And almost always their response was: "but...

Maybe I should use word "normal" instead of "boring". I've just read so many posts on so many forums about this "immersion", even Obsidian devs noticed the popularity of "house mods", which led them to creating The Sink in OWB. I believe that almost every game is created for this, let's say...

http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1503199-the-wasteland-feels-like-home/ I think it's because it helps people forget about their boring/pathetic lives and live out an adventure in "truly immersive" world (unfortunatelly few people care about such "details" as this world making actual sense)...

Typhon from Broken Hills: "There ain't any ghouls but old ghouls. We're all sterile, see, but we're incredibly long-lived. We're the first and last generation of ghouls". I guess Typhon maybe was assuming that anything like Vault 12 will happen again. Then Bethesda of course happened. Gecko was...

Even in Fallout 2 there is said that ghouls from Necropolis are "first and last" generation. 725. Ghouls can run now.

There is at least on instance of such thing in NV, though you are reffered to by Mr New Vegas as "anonymous contractor". I liked that, it's more realistic than 3Dog knowing everything you did, even when nobody was around. NV has reputation system, that IMO is better in showing people that know...

I see no reason to flame someone who actually comes here to have a discussion. Such attitude makes people avoid NMA, and go to e.g. Bethesda forums instead. Especially that John McDonnell does not behave like Arin Matthews did. I don't see NV writing as lazy. Writers actually made serious...

F2 obviously didn't take itself seriously. I can roll with that, until it's at least funny and game has good gameplay mechanics. Not the case with F3 of course Antagonizer isn't bad because it's improbable, but it fails (and fails HARD) at being funny. As somebody said: "It's one thing to be...

I remember only three characters. 3dog - annoying dj, that fit Fallout 3 50s atmosphere as well as iPod would. Moira Brown - annoying bitch, either a psychopath or a TOTAL retard (her reaction after Megaton blew up). I also remember Liam Neeson, only because of his half-ass acting (you blew up...

Re: Why Fallout 3 is not as bad as most people on this forum Arin most probably is a troll. He claims to be "video game scientist" working in Bioware. I have to believe he is a troll, otherwise I'd loose rest of my faith in humanity. The intersting fact is, he didn't even wrote down these...

And when they did actually help wastelanders? Even in Fallout 1 there is a scribe (Vree?) that complains about focus on military tech. So, they have been "techno bandits" since the very beginning. You were talking about lazy writing, right? You had 3 companions that could enter chamber...

Dean Domino. Most spiteful, petty, greedy bastard in NV.

Well, Boston (probably) is new setting. And they are going to fuck up Fallout lore even more by making it cyberpunk. Return of that howling retard (3dog) is not going to help either. I hope that he will be killable, just like in F3.

Exactly. No single fuck was given that day. Even by noble knights in shining armors. They are too incompetent to deal with anything: sm, raiders or Enclave so they ignore everything you do as long as you are willing to solve their problems for them. But the most shining example of abysmal...

What to choose, what to choose... That would be Superhuman Gambit. Followed closely by main quest from Point Lookout. I hated tribals and it was overall boring.
