1. Alot of places and areas feel lazily done or incomplete, and i hate how you can travel pretty much anywhere without something like a tunnel you have to go through.
2. The weapons were great, but seriously i felt there wasnt enough love towards the smgs and shotguns unique variants. Too many pistols, and the antimateriel rifle is just ridiculous and unnessecary.
3. the actual ingame music is all i listen to or no music at all, totally brings the vibe im looking for. The radio just gets so repetitive, i alays wished there would be a quest to search an old music storage building or something.
4. The computers in new vegas almost never give info about what happened 200 years ago, no little stories, that made me a sad panda because i used to love reading and delving into the the universe the developers made.
5. last comment...a lot of the time enemies are human and humans are way too easy to kill, i miss mirelurks, i remember how much i hated and loved those guys.
6. Also the vaults were way more intersting in fallout3.
1. I'm not exactly sure what you mean, especially when comparing to Fallout 3, as I felt that there were plenty pointless locations there as well.
2. Really? Well let's see, according to the wiki, there are 8 vanilla shotguns and 4 SMGs. I guess I can kind of see it with the SMGs, but if you just count automatic weapons as a whole there are a ton. The Anti-Materiel Rifle is based on real snipers, and there's nothing ridiculous or unnecessary about it as far as I can tell. It's an extremely expensive end-game sniper rifle that is appropriately powerful for it's place in the game. And Gun Runners manufacture weapons, so if it is a rarity issue, then there you go.
3. I agree, at least on the in-game music part. New Vegas has the best atmospheric music in the series, IMO. The game itself actually has a lot of music, more than Fallout 3, but they spread it on 2 radio stations and a lot of the music that will play on the Strip and in casinos won't play on the radio. There are also original songs (first post-war music in the series) that should have been added to the radio circulation after the quest you do at the Tops, but what can you do?
4. You might not be looking well enough. There are plenty of areas with this sort of thing, just perhaps less that Fallout 3 because it is less focused on exploration.
5. I like fighting human enemies personally. I have a mod that makes most wildlife not attack on site unless you provoke them. Like a cross between Animal Friend and the default kamikazee animals. But there are at least as much if not more creature types in New Vegas than there are in Fallout 3. The frequency might be what your missing. Also, Mirelurks come from crabs and as such wouldn't be in the Vegas area. However, there is a creature called a Lakelurk that is pretty much the same as a Mirelurk King but is supposed to have come from Snapping Turtles.
6. For one, use the edit button on your post to add new points. But if you haven't already, I'd check out Vault 11. I think it has to be one of the best vaults in the series.
