you have a point, you could become nearly invincible in both games.

lmao.

This was explained way back in Fallout. West Tek, the developers of FEV, were directly hit by the atomic bombs, when that happened, FEV was released into earths atmosphere. Causing various mutations in many species. Cows naturally developing two head, geckos growing to child sizes as well as unique traits, IE gold-toned skin or fire breathing, Human DNA damage, Super Mutants, Deathclaws too probably. All in all, alot of the worlds creatures have history tied to the bombs. Also, who cares if it's not depressing? Fallout isn't a depressing series, it's supposed to be an experience in a post-war world. PLUS, when you factor in Mr. House and NCR, two factions attempting semblance of Pre-War order and safety, the region is largely advanced civility and culture wise.

@OP- Meh, different strokes for different folks, I like them both for their own reasons.

Honestly, Ace? The ailment is there, for sure, but the extent of it in each is no comparison, Fallout 3 PC godliness is much more crazy than in NV.

Ps [censored] Fallout 1 & 2.... it looks [censored].

Post DLC, until Lonesome Road, with the level cap limter trait



Like we care, they are cult classic, like Baldurs Gate, like Planetscape Torment, like NeverWinter Nights, like Kotor, like every game back in the 90 and the early Milenium,

Until it was simplified for the mainstream

yeah im not saying i didnt, like FNV, i mean i dont think i have ever been as hyped for a game as i was for this one, i did really like the game, it was better then fallout 3 in alot of aspects.

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it, however, I respectfully disagree.

Edit Spectre- Well, I love New Vegas for it's story and actual progression of humanity (IE lights, water, electricity, etc), That always drove me nuts that Tenpenny was the only settlement with any real use of the Pre-War electricity grids. Megaton ran it's own faulty one, and RC is, I assume, using the old engine bay. In reverse, Fallout 3 had a great atmosphere, I just disliked that we couldnt restore power to D.C., or parts of it at least. To me, having electricity would be alongside fresh water in the founding of a civilized society. But I enjoyed Fallout 3's use of 40's contemporary music and it's exploration. But it's hard for me to play both at the same time, since features in NV have spoiled me, and Fallout 3 is much more fun to just piddle about in. (I like to pretend the penthouse level of TPT is all mine sometimes :disguise:)

Oh go play CoD, you brat, don't be dissing two of the best RPGs in gaming history, the games that started the series you dare say you are a fan of, if you dare to say you like the Fallout series, you are a damned liar.

I want my post-apocalyptic doom. Like the song says. "Pour your misery on me....I'm only happy when it rains."

Graphics arent everything dude, they were some of the deepest and most complex games ever made, also they had magnificent story's and atmospheres, and almost limitless replayability.

PS. you are going to get Uber Flamed

And I want my Post apocalyptic moving foward

OK, as much as I don't like Obsidian and have a huge bias towards FO3....would it please everyone if Obsidian wrote the next game, but Bethesda did everything else?

Cause there seems to be this huge split in the community over 3 and NV.

So you're now going to attack my person? Excellent. Ad hominum arguments are always the best. Sorry that your explanation was hilarious to me, but at least I was laughing at your argument and not you.

No. I want to see actual cities soon, not dumpy junkyards. If I want that, I'd go to Junktown or Megaton.

Those days are looooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnng gone.... be happy that someone like Bethesda made you guys and girls play... in style

actually, yeah that would be great, in terms of gameplay Bethesda trumps Obsidian, but in writing and story, obsidian takes the cake.

You know what, some of us prefer the content of the game over graphics, some of us care about RPG mechanics, only the advent of stupid series' like CoD that forged the myth that graphics=quality. I am ashamed that the new generation of gamers judge games on how they look and not how they play.

Didn't intend any offense, apologies, I just couldn't think of a proper response to it, I cant refute your preference.

Who says I'm grumpy. I started the series with Fallout 3. I just appreciate them all equally. I got over the graphics, and so can you if you took the time to do so. The old Fallouts are just as fun as Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Playing as a moron (3 Int or below) will be the funniest thing of all time. However, if you're going to just insult people, you're no better than the old fans who insult the new fans. I'm not a part of either side, so I'd appreciate it if you don't lump me in with new or old fans. I love them all equally.

Fallout new vegas has some interesting new additions that Fo3 didn't have, such as poison crafting and such, which I, tbh, never have used anyways.

I like FoNV a lot, but I dislike it being so much about the factions. It's all about the factions. all quests are "choose a faction" quests (not all but way too many).

In the end, I liked both Fo3 and FoNV.

you come off as a jerk to me, just cause there old doesnt mean there not as good, if anything there better, just because something is newer and flashier. i am a child of the newest video game generation, i mean im only 16, but i still love the oldies, at first i would have thought like you "man that looks crappy" after giving the oldies a try i understood that graphics dont make the game.

and you mean the age of putting good story, gameplay, and challenge before graphics? cause i would love if they made more games with that mentality.

my point, the new games and the old games are all great in there own ways.

Fallout 2 is pretty cool. The beginning to early mid game is sooo frustrating....but once you get past that, I had a lot of fun with my Enclave MK2 armor and my minigun / energy weapons, it goes great with the soundtrack.
And there are some unforgettable characters. You should try it out some day, if for anything to get a better idea of the lore.

Yeah, right :rolleyes:


Look, some people arent Graphic worksheepers, I dont need to play Bethesda game to play in Style,

Dear Colonel, i didn't played the ugly Fallouts 1 & 2, but i think that the devs will make it up with Fallout 4.... they just throw FNV in to Obsidians lap... because of Skyrim there baby.

Keep complaining about the Fallout series and then i will play the best Fallout (4) ever because of you guys.... keep up the good work

Fallout 3 had more than just graphics....game design and good sci-fi epic story.
