Fallout: New Vegas. NPCs might not be that advanced in terms of schedules and stuff but in terms of flavour and story probably blow just about any other RPG out of the water. I also think I prefer a world that doesn’t level with you, where quick saving and quick loading isn’t going to get you through everything all the time and sometimes you just need to come back at a higher level.

I do see value in Bethesda’s leveled NPCs and items in terms of replay value but I think it also makes things a little too casual and makes quick saving/loading the most powerful weapon or power in your arsenal. Because technically nothing is ever out of depth for you, so it’s just a case of trying again until you succeed.

Also, in response to someone here talking about the music, I listen to this soundtrack occasionally in down time. It’s a nice break from alternative and punk and metal and shit, when you’re not exactly a fan of other modern music. Between FNV and BioShock, I’ve become quite an Artie Shaw and a Helen Forrest fan.

sincerely, fallout 4. controversial I’m sure seeing as that game fell a lot more flat in certain areas. but I’ve never been that immersed into a fallout game before fallout 4.

Besides the 5 fps and how boring the minutemen quests were, the game actually wasn’t too bad.

Enjoy any game you want, though. No matter how controversial it is :)

bethesda only learned how to make factions in fallout 76, before promptly forgetting it to add the brotherhood of steel for the umpteenth time.

god i miss the BoS and enclave, shame they never got much recognition by bethesda (bos appeared in most games but besides 1, nv, 3 and 4ish they never got the proper attention)

i hope obsidian or interplay makes the next west coast game, thats the last thing i want to see before i die 🥹

I’ll admit one important reason is just that it was the first I played. I’d never played an open world game before so the revelation of even the possibility of there being so much depth and freedom was amazing. That said, I also think it is generally better in other ways like setup and writing.

It also had the best soundtrack. There are people who listen to the F3 radio outside of the game. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say they loved the other soundtracks at all, let alone enough to listen to them repeatedly.

Diamond City Radio has major views on youtube.

True. Some people must love it, but I didn’t and I’ve just never heard anyone I’ve talked to about Fallout say they loved the OST for NV either. Very limited sample, I know, but it’s all opinions anyway so, enh.

VERY surprised by the diversity here. I figured it would be 90% fallout NV and 10% fallout 4 🤔

for me, NV has better personality. But if I were to pick up a controller right now, day 4 is funner to play.
