Thank you for FO:NV : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sat Jun 18, 2011 1:44 am

Just want to thank all those involved for the only big-budget RPG I’ve enjoyed and connected with. The rare combination of inter-connected quests, choice and conciqence, well written story, fully realised world and greater emphasis on RPG mechanics means that FO:NV is the latest, and perhaps last, RPG to legitimately claim it’s place with in the legacy of Fallout 1, Arcanum and the classic RPGs of yore.

I understand that in the race to claim as many ‘casual’ gamers as possible, the continued ‘streamlining’ of the genre will likely continue and cause the marketplace to be dominated action-adventure games, action-RPGs and Roleplaying-shooters – but it’s nice to have one last classic PC RPG on my Xbox 360.

I really appreciate the Obsidian crew for doing FONV... It really made me realize again how crappy FO3 was compared to the original games. I just wish you did not have to use the [censored] Gamebryo engine.

You deserve a medal, very well put, friend.
