is it worthy to play this game????????????? i played it once liek half a year ago didn't like because it was so confusing and shitloads of stuff to do, but hey
your opinion?!! dear sir?
your opinion?!! dear sir?
2 stand-alone games
but fallout 3 is deffinitely worth it, especially if you want to play a 'bad' person.
new vegas...well.... i find it a bit boring because it seems to be instanced. also it seems to me, that you do not really have much to do as a 'bad' person, i tried to join the powder gangers which seemingly only has one outpost - every other gang still attacks you - so no quests at all.
didn't get any quest by the legion so far though, but the travelling is the pain in the ***
was better in fallout 3 where you have a shitload of outposts
im a great guy :)
- Its a lot easier to play the bad person, hell, to be honest its impossible to be 100% good guy in terms of how the game ends.
- Every faction has lot of outposts, even the niggers and spics you call Powdergangers
- Fallout 3 is horrible without modding, quests, weapons, locations, everything, its just a rehash with a good game's name. New Vegas manages sometimes to make really good atmosphere, lots of locations, dialogue is better, more interesting companions and other NPC's. There is also more voiceactors (Fallout 3 had 4 different voiceactors, enjoy all your ghouls speaking like that one guy from Simpsons lol)
- Travelling is fucking fun, why are you even playing the game if you dont enjoy it?! Even Fallout 3 you are praising had travelling. Seriously what the fuck?
.I still like Fallout 2 the most
so fallout3 worth the time joo?
New Vegas on the other hand has really good quests. Of course there are some "sorry your objective is in another castle" -stuff and "take this item to location B and come back here to get more items to bring somewhere blabla" but mostly the quests were really interesting.
Imo just play Fallout NV straight away, it doesnt have so many references to F3 (thank god) so it doesnt harm the enjoyment.
this game is what made me a fallout fan and blew my mind directly, i don't think there are games with so much unique experience in one game
the game was amazing, new vegas goes into a different route, but FO3 doesn;t fall from that
Yes, got them lots and lots of new fans, and tbh, not all 'old' fans were disappointed, know quite alot which played fallout 1&2 and tactics and still liked fallout 3 aswell(yes i do infact aswell, actually, it's just how you state it - i bloody enjoyed it very much...)
Couldn't care less about companions, always sneaked.
But in fallout 3 you didn't have to run for hours to get somewhere, everything was more or less easy to reach.
The reason why i enjoy playing the bad guy is very simple - you can steal everything you want or need, find it sometimes a bit hard to deny a quest because of that, because of my nature^^
I know that the powdergangers also have outposts, but for example the first outpost - they simply give you some simple tasks i finished and they didn't send me somewhere bigger or anything - i didn't even got any advantage by doing so (PS: that faction armor system is sooooo retarded, ncr armor is twice as good as the powder gangers armor is, and yet i 'can' not use it)
(and yes, i had the official dlc's, which added alot to the fun, i give you that. not to mention that the graphics of NV are a joke considering the time they had since the release of F3)
couldnt be bothered using any traits...doesnt add shit to the game :(
I do not use the wild wasteland trait but I know it changes quite alot and is not something recommended for first run.
But Baggiez and Aza started calling me a pussy so I was peer pressured into playing hardcore mode. Dunno if landmines are exclusive to hardcore mode though.
New Vegas is a bit more expanded, specially some add-ons if you play Hard mode such as dehydration, play on easy and nobody cares about water :-)
but I think fallout 3 has more funny convo's and happenings...like random shit!
you are more of an one road full of action with no brain (wolverine, cods, moh)
update on me:
lvl 21, a paragon (:o), 34 hours in game so far, only talked to yes man, didn;t continue further, just exploring every motherfucker pixel avi in this game
using sniper rifle, ratslayer, this machine and cowboy repeater as main weapons
got LMG, MG, HI, annabelle etc on brotherhood storage <3
using Ed-E and Cass
yes true, but i dont have anything to do except playing QL/HoN and in the mean time everyone saying fallout is godlike, and that slow-mo killing thingie is fun, thing what i did NOT enjoy that i couldn't use the "slowmo killing" because i did not know you could do that:D without it its almost impossible to kill something because of shit hitboxes iirc
but hey, a try is a try :O)
[e] oh and btw, i havent played a single "starcraft type game what ever u call it RPGSDASHDSH" since like playstation 1 red alert in 90s, and i played starcraft 2 SP and i really liked it and surprisingly i finished it (which i rarely do in new games)
so mby FO3 will be pwnage aswell
you will enjoy the graphics so it's a huge boost
just make sure to read carefully and learn everything easly
and of course give it a lot of times, i was about to uninstall fallout3 just before i felt in love ( i also loved playing one road games)
use this http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Killing_Motor-Runner a lot for a starter
both perks add up perfectly! rather use Lily than Cass tbh :x
i love cassy, she is cute and funny (shh, we're hunting shitheads :D)
the game is a bit easy as well as i have the best weapons in the game, and cass having hunter shotgun she pretty much rips everything...so i don't care really :O
And i miss screwing around by playing a retard like you could in F1/F2:

You should head over to http://newvegasnexus.com/ for some nice mods (level cap remove, better headshots, better pipboy light, AP powered bullet time and sprint, better ingame interfaces, removed invisible walls....) and community fixes (performance fix among others!) for the game.
