I prefer 4 and 3 to NV ngl
Fallout 3 i can understand but Fallout 4 god no. Every great things in FNV were removed in Fallout 4
I have some opinions about 4, but nothing like the vitriol you feel towards it lol. Could I get an example of some things they removed in your opinion?
My complaints mostly boil down to how mediocre the story, world, and characters are. But I can't think of anything they removed necessarily, just poorly implemented
They removed traits, a proper SPECIAL system, skills, proper skill checks, the reputation system, etc.
The complete oversimplification/destruction of dialogue trees still makes no sense to me.
You forgot weapons/outfits durability
Fallout 4 is good, but not as good as Fallout 3 and FNV
Why?
I love the atmosphere in 3, it was my introduction to Fallout. And with 4 I have just so much fun with the world, the characters and modding it.
That's fair, have you played around with modding New Vegas? The mod scene is incredible lately.
I have no Intention of modding NV tbh
Why not?
FO3 has better world design but story-wise I prefer NV.
I think that's fairly common to be more in love with the first thing you tried. IME, I had played Fallout 1 and 2 as they released. Was exited for 3 when it came out, and while I thought it was a great game, it didn't feel like Fallout. New Vegas feels like the Fallout I know. 4 even feels like a good representation, though not as deep.
But I might feel as you do if I first played 3. Then all the other Fallout games would feel weird. lol
