[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;39161137]i think you can safely say that all FO:NV DLCs were awesome and worth the money either way[/QUOTE]
Absolutely, though Honest hearts probably provides the least amount on enjoyment of the DLCs.
[QUOTE=Camundongo;39161122]On a rather geeky note, isn't MIT and the area around it part of that commonwealth that was mentioned in FO3? I guess that could be pretty interesting.[/QUOTE]
bingo

I'd argue against Honest Hearts myself, but it was still alright.
The other 3 were amazing though.
fallout 3 is only good because it was your first one
and/or only one
my name is corporal yippie and i treat my opinion like fact
Dead Money has the best writing hands down.
[sp]Get a high speech skill, and follow the ultimate good ending for Dog/God, and try not to tear up like I did.[/sp]
[sp][i]Courier: Imagine that voice, not as a voice... but as water. Look at the voice now, what do you see?
Dog: Dog can see voice. Looks just like Dog...
God: ...and Dog looks just like me. You've hurt yourself. Inside. Do you see now, see...
Dog: ...in the water. Dog understands now. Dog knows what happened.
Courier: Then... step into the water, step into yourself.
Dog: If Dog... if Dog goes into the water... Dog can't help if Master gets mad. You were nice to Dog, Dog wants to help.
God: He's right. If you merge us, then I... we... or whatever we become... we can't help you reach whatever's at the Sierra Madre's end
Dog: And Dog... Dog doesn't want to unremember you, may forget you.
God: We will forget almost all that has happened here. You'll be alone - at the Old man's mercy. Like Dog. Like me.
Courier: I don't want you to be under anyone's control, even mine.
Dog: You were there all the time...
God: ...all the time, you were there, and so close...
God:...together.[/i][/sp]
[QUOTE=The golden;39157966]Considering the way Bethesda has been handling the TES series as of late, I wouldn't be too surprised if this was another dumbed-down console-ified mess running on a terrible engine.
There are many other devs I would rather have the Fallout license than Bethesda at this point.[/QUOTE]
Skyrim ran fine for me at launch when i played it, its not a saints row 2
[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;39161278]Dead Money has the best writing hands down.[/QUOTE]
I just like staying with God, mainly because he seems both touched and confused that you're taking to time to deal with someone who's obstructive and hard to control, just because you don't want someone to do what you want to just because you told them to do it.
I won't make too much of a long, and drawn out post, but I will say that I enjoyed Fallout 3 compared to New Vegas because the wasteland felt a lot more interactive than New Vegas' relatively barren desert. We could go on about how New Vegas improved the engine from Fallout 3, and had slightly more in-depth weapon features, but even so, despite these improvements, I felt NV just couldn't offer the same degree of exploration I had with 3.
In NV, almost every location on the map seemed to be in close proximity with others, and exploration itself just felt toned down. Things like gambling act like nothing more but limited gimmicks that will eventually cease to be altogether. There is virtually nothing to do (as far as side-activities) in the Strip once you get banned from every casino (which also isn't a difficult task).
The Capital Wasteland was gargantuan in comparison to the Mojave, the huge amount of underground interiors, abandoned buildings, and the DC ruins itself were fantastic exploration opportunities. The Mojave just felt so empty and limited, and a lot more restrictive when it came to exploration.
[QUOTE=Cone;39157033]The gameplay has never been why people play Fallout 3 and New Vegas; because of the shitty engine, all your guns, no matter how damaging they are, feel like pea shooters. Nobody gives a fuck about how much damage they've sustained until their leg has somehow exploded from a pistol round and they finally die. Powered armor feels like a T-shirt with some wet cardboard and paper mache glued on top of it, even though it gives you a lot of armor and bullets barely do any lasting damage to begin with.
No, until Bethesda finally boots Gamebryo, the gameplay will be dreadful and generic. The thing is, the setting will always be brilliant fun to explore, the characters will always be fun to talk to, and t[B]here will always be so, so much potential for the [I]real[/I] brilliant motherfuckers - the modders - to unlock.[/B][/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Chickens!;39157751]Don't get your hopes unrealistically high.
This will most likely be the same to FO3 as Skyrim was to Oblivion.[/QUOTE]
Then it would be a fantastic improvement.
Yeah man, Skyrim's quests and writing were so good, I can still remember some memorable, awesome characters such as:
hope something good comes from this. regardless of differences, I loved both games as they provided me withs hours upon hours of great gameplay. three-dog helped me on those cold dark nights in the wasteland when I needed company ;_;

i was tokin up with the bros tjhe entire time, its a good thig the game was so simpl a five year old could ace it else i wouldve dropped that shit
[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;39160516]also new vegas had amazing DLCs
Old World Blues is chock full of space age stuff, it was wonderful[/QUOTE]
old world blues completely blows fallout 3 and all it's dlc out of the water by itself.
honest hearts is alright, not good but not bad.
lonesome road was alright just because you get to fire nukes and get a kickass coat.
i loathe dead money.
I loved New Vegas in the way that it was closer to the original games and the lore (literally), but I really loved exploring Fallout 3 and it was always really cool to see and hear the enclave eyebots playing the american tune every now and then walking through the neighborhoods.
If they are working on a fourth game I hope they retain the west coast setting, maybe stretch from New Vegas down to Los Angeles even.
And I just started playing New Vegas!

I'm sorry but there is no hope on Nexus. It's like deviantart but on the gambryo engine.

Theres tons of amazing mods, one very talented modder of a very good weapons pack even has a facepunch account.
I liked New Vegas better because I felt like a wastelander and I wasn't a special vault guy.

The Nexus Appreciation Station. Calling it now.
I liked NV's gameplay a bit more, but it lacked the atmosphere of Fallout 3, NV felt too...[I]alive[/I] for a post apocalyptic wasteland. It didn't have the right colorscheme, it felt too green, too healthy. It wasn't a wasteland. Fallout 3, while feeling completely empty, there was a lot to do and explore. New Vegas was just kinda...Meh. It was all kinda the same thing, flat desert and little tiny towns, none of the eerie ruins of DC or subways. The lack of a more urban environment made it boring to explore. Also New Vegas itself, as in, the town, was massively disappointing. New Vegas was just too flat to be fun, there were no ruined highways to climb, just hills.

I played a bit with some other FPers (on a stream), so I installed all of the sexout mods I could get.

yea it was gr8 game design because it made it easy to make and capitalize on thousands of generic let's play videos due to how the game never leaves its own comfort zone because that would require the player to think about what they're doing rather than waddling mindlessly from compass marker to compass marker inconspicuously doing nothing worthwhile 10/10 besterest bethesder gaem made me rich off youtube $
I guess I shouldn't be too unfair though, both Oblivion and Fallout 3 had really samey and boring underground areas that they copy-pasted everywhere and used for the setting of like half the quests. Skyrim just upped that amount from half to 90%.
Well, FO4 will surely be a fine game.
But whatever Obsidian follows it up with will be a better, slightly buggier game, but still better in every other respect.
