My post about the comparisons was mostly rhetorical but it still got some interesting replies. Just for the record, I have played the following Fallouts: Fallout 3 was my first Fallout, then New Vegas, picked up the original Fallout and played about half of it, and finally Fallout 4. I don't know if that is enough credentials to qualify my opinion but I like them all, some more than others.
I like your explanation and you make some really good points. I for one, absolutely loved Fallout New Vegas and I don't care who made it.
I get where you're coming from, too. I am not one of those. I am pretty happy will all of the ones I've played.
Pretty much sums up how I feel.
