Lol. I knew voice acting would suck coming in. I enjoyed it mainly because it brings back the nostalgia (at least some of it). Oh and also the fallout humor is spot on unlike in fallout 3 where it's cheesy and 'retarded'. | ||

If this thread was named something like 'Post your Fallout 3 praise here OR Why I like fallout 3' then criticism would be trolling but if a thread is about a new product and someone is posting his opinion about that product then you are 100% wrong in calling that guy a troll. Also, to your reply- 1- It doesn't make it right just because it is an 'reference'. Perhaps companies shall create talking mutant rats that can shoot blue lasers while shouting 'Kamihamihaaaaa!' and people would be like "Hey that's not stupid. That's an reference/tribute to DBZ" 2- Ditto. And nothing is changed. Its still an almost empty game with *very very small* number of quests. Just look at any other RPG, heck look at Oblivion. I loved that game and there was so much to do and hundreds and hundreds of quests, look at Two Worlds 2 and enormous number of quests it gives you. Now look back at shallowness that is Fallout 3/Vegas. But its OK since it an 'tribute' to old games. (Note : Sarcasm) 3- Please read my post. I mentioned 'Fast travel' in my post. Also, saying no vehicle/ride is excusable just because the hero is named 'Lone Wanderer' is .... well let me just ask you if I create a game with hero named 'Blind wanderer' and the game has nothing but a black screen will you defend me too? 4-Oblivion and most RPG's dont need radio as they have so much content. If they are forcing us to travel on foot on a blank-ish landscape then they should at least give us something to listen to. 5- Dude insanity is one thing while ant controlling villains, people that got merged with tree is just absurd. Finally, if you like this franchise so much then wouldn't you want it to become better, have more content, quests and have less expansions? All i see from your posts is "hurr durr quests are stupid cause i think i could make better ones and i hate listening the radio" When you have complaints don't give them in essay form and repeated twice | ||

http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34868 It really improved my Fallout experience as the graphical enhancement that it brings is quite extraordinary. But I do emphasize the monster PC part. It kills FPS like popcorn and seem to favor Nividia cards that are using the new beta driver. For a little extra FPS boost, be sure to check out 3GB Fallout NV Enabler PLUS. It enables you to use more than 2gb for New Vegas. And most importantly, you can use New Vegas Script Extender unlike a certain other popular memory extender mod. http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=38644 As a fan of the Fallout Franchise, I must say that New Vegas is much much better than Fallout 3. Everything is way better connected, not just a junk yard of "cool shit" thrown together and inserted randomly. | ||

I recently just finished killing off a Legendary Deathclaw. That thing's scary, but fortunately a .50cal to the head a few times (as he tears apart my ED-E) works just fine. | ||

I think that Fallout 3, however is more interesting for aimless wandering and exploring. New Vegas was actually a little disappointing in that respect, where once I finished the main quests and the side quests attached to them I had seen pretty much everything. The other points of interest were mainly empty and uninteresting. Especially on the river bank, there's a bunch of campsites and whatever that show up as map markers, but they don't hold anything more interesting than some tin cans, a SS star cap, and a skill mag. Not to mention, I found if you do go exploring in new vegas, you're reasonably likely to screw up a quest. I went and did vault 34 for instance before I knew about the quest related to it, and I got to the "special" activator before I recognized the signifigance of it, and was forced to make a choice as to what to do with it. New Vegas played a lot more like a normal game in that locations all had a well defined purpose. If effort was put into a place, it either had quests attached to it, or maybe a unique weapon in it. Fallout 3 played a lot more like TES 4 to me, where there were a lot of locations to explore, and not all of them had anything useful, in fact, most of them didn't. But then you ran across one seemingly innocuous place and it had something awesome in it. Nobody's going to send you there though. And a lot of the "awesome" things weren't even items, maybe just tidbits of story or implied story. Different styles. Both cool in my opinion. New Vegas was easier to get hooked into. Fallout 3 was harder to get sucked into but could keep my interest longer just putzing around. | ||

I used them for my playthrough some months back, and I don't know how good they are now, but when I used them they made the game look so much more amazing graphically. My machine is not monstrous, though, so the game didn't run as smoothly as it would without the shaders, but it was a fair price to pay to make the game gorgeous. | ||

Honest Hearts takes you on an expedition to the unspoiled wilderness of Utah’s Zion National Park. Things go horribly wrong when your caravan is ambushed by a tribal raiding band. As you try to find a way back to the Mojave, you become embroiled in a war between tribes and a conflict between a New Canaanite missionary and the mysterious Burned Man. The decisions you make will determine the fate of Zion. It is set to release on May 17, 2011. I'm excited because I actually enjoyed Dead Money. Lots of details at http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Honest_Hearts | ||

Well, The new Fallouts (3+New Vegas), play like a sort of RPG shooter, while Fallout 1+2 play as more traditional RPG's with turn-based combat. Besides that, I'm not intimate with the differences, as I have not played the first two yet and most of my knowledge comes from just reading. Also note, that the latter games (3+NV) were developed by Bethesda, while the first two were developed by Black Isle Studios. | ||

I highly recommend playing through both Fallout 3 and NV. They're probably my two favorite RPGs ever. Anyway, has anyone played through the DLCs yet? I thought Dead Money was pretty good, but Honest Hearts was awful. Joshua Graham was a gigantic disappointment. | ||

Well the first two Fallout games are extremely different from Fallout 3/New Vegas. The first two are analogous to the old isometric RPGs like Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale. They were made years and years ago. Then Bethesda bought the rights to the Fallout IP and made Fallout 3 as a RPG/FPS hybrid thing. If you've ever played Oblivion you can expect much the same save for the setting/story. People like to say that Fallout 3/New Vegas are "Oblivion with guns" because they are so similar on the surface. Expect a lot of dialog, quests, running around, killing things, etc. It's a FPS but not as accurate or responsive as say a Call of Duty or a Battlefield. It's way more of a RPG than either of those. You can also build your character to do other things such as lockpicking, repairing, melee, etc. so it's not entirely about shooting things. If you've ever played games like Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale or Planescape: Torment then I'd recommend the first 2 Fallout games to you before going to the new ones. If you've never even heard of those games, I say go right for Fallout 3/New Vegas. There are some references to the first 2 games in both Fo3 and NV but playing them isn't required to understand the story or anything. Fallout 3 has a game of the year edition out which includes 5 pieces of DLC. Little isolated story lines that last for a couple hours and reward you with some unique items, raise the level cap, add perks, and whatnot. I would get the GotY edition if you decide 3 is what you want. New Vegas' run of DLC is still in progress, having only 2 out so far with plans for at least 3 more. It would be safe to assume that they'll do 5 for NV then have a GotY edition for it as well. I would wait and get the GotY edition for NV if you would rather this over Fo3 or if you finish 3 before the GotY edition is out. You'd save some money if having that extra content interests you. That's what I plan on doing. Comparing the two newer games, I like NV better than 3. They're very similar but the main thing is that the writing is better in NV. There are still some really cool moments in Fo3 but if you could only have 1, get NV. As iNcontroL would say, I know I'm long-winded but I hope this was helpful. | ||
