Fallout 3 suffered from copy paste locations. There's the same church by the same STA-COM array by the same metro station by the same street of ruined houses dotted all over the place. Don't get me wrong besides the awful navigation DC is great to explore and soak in but again more is not good if it's not unique.

Different strokes.

Honest Hearts was my favorite but not really. The quests in HH was over in no time and you had to force yourself to look around if you wanted to add to the content. Thankfully while most of it was a chore stumbling onto one of Randall Clarke's caves was always a treat getting more of his story. He's the second best character in the game and he's dead. Best character goes to pic related but it's a shame he's short lived as a companion.

Honestly, did you guys even take your time with the game then? There is tons of shit to explore.

It didn't, neither did it have more quests or dialogue, but who gives a shit?
NV is a great game, also for exploration.

>>246568709

Honest Hearts was only saved by Joshua Graham, the environment and Randall Clark. Rest was not really outstanding. I still love the DLC.

>>246568709
>>246568223
Honest Hearts had the best story from all the dlcs (Tribals, Mormons, that survivalist dude, just great) but the execution wasn't that good

Dead Money was the single best dlc's if only for the fact that it pissed off casuals for its difficulty

>>246568709
Literally the only thing worth anything at all in that DLC was Joshua Graham.
Though the native american tribal thing was sort of neat.

>>246568762
Invisible walls were also present in F3 they were just harder to encounter due to the size of the map, also even new vegas had some good exploration movements, like when you are on some rocky cliff during the night and you see the shining lights of New Vegas over the horizon.

>>246565209
> areas beyond map edge
Also you might know, area north from Nipton isn't empty, it's just you are shit at exploring

>>246568993
New Vegas and FO3 were equally big though.

But instead of just invisible walls, FO3 used these actual walls, using buildings etc, which I like better anyways. One of the few things FO3 did better.

>>246568839
Any frustration from the DLC was resolved the second you lock Elijah in the Vault. It's nothing but satisfying.

>>246564594
greatest improvement in new vegas was iron sights everything else is a small bonus, but if you mod it like fuck until it looks like a completed game you will play that shit for months

Yeah, Dead Money shouldn't have been the first released DLC, Obsidian mentioned so later on. I think it was Sawyer.

I've always loved that DLC. It's so top-tier in terms of writing, story and setting. Also the message is sublime, gets told both subtle and frontal to you in all characters. Always been fun when people who hated the DLC hated it because it took away your guns, which in reality was the point of the DLC... finding it is not the hard part... it's letting go.

>>246568839
Dead Money was the easiest shit and looked like a N64 game. Who in the FUCK thought it was hard? They need their shit slapped.

Pretty much agree. DC feels way too copypasted. It's easy to get lost, because everything looks the same.

It wasn't actually cut short, they got 18 months to do it from the start. I'd still say way too little in comparison to FO3's 4 years.

Still a shame, they did wonders with such a short time, and had many more plans ahead, unfortunately now cut.

Holy shit, a thread where the Obsidiot hivemind isn't infecting everything. Maybe actual discussion can be had.

To be honest, New Vegas' exploration isn't terrible, but it's really not at all exciting save for... I honestly can't really think of anything. I guess the quarry was alright?

The Sierra Madre was bretty good though.

Honestly though, you play New Vegas for the story and dialogue. Exploration is an afterthought.

>>246579795
Oh, The Super Mutant radio station and settlement was kinda cool, too.

>>246578216
I like to head canon rationalize that the capital of the US would have been bombarded obscenely with many many more nukes than Las Vegas was. This should have led to no buildings standing but another head canon is to assume that they were all built to withstand nuclear blasts.

That many more nukes would have rendered the surrounding landscape much more inhospitable to life.


The Mojave on the other hand, is already a desert and partially a wasteland. Vegas was really the only target for any nukes, so fewer would have been aimed at it. Also Mr house manages do disarm something like all but 9 of the nukes shot at Vegas and the surrounding area. So much less damage and devastation from them.
Of course there's problems with this like old monuments standing in DC, but i just toss that up to Bethesda not really giving a fuck about setting and only wanting to make action games with lite RPG elements.

Fallout 2 takes place way before FO3.

Fallout 2 has plants springing back to life, the world is cleansed enough for plants to survive.

Because Lorewise, a desert with a few plants 100 years post-war points to the fact that 200 years post-war that a Swampy/forested area should have a ton of plants.

Nukes don't work the way you think they do.

Also, the Potomac, a running river, should be absolutely cleansed after 200 years. The entire plot of FO3 and setting was absofuckinglutely retarded, with and without lore.

It's even worse lorewise since GECKs exist.

Ok, this thing is been bugging me for a while and I want other people opinions and points of view:

Why the fuck does 3 and New vegas use shitty T-45d power armor? That shit is a PROTOTYPE of the T-51b which was use in the war.

Also the fucking energy weapons look like SHIT, I hate the look of those blocky "unfinish" laser and plasma pistols/rifle when all the past games clearly use more advance comercial versions of energy weapons, at least New vegas fix the problem with the Plasma defender and the plasma caster.

I dont know, same shit goes with theDKS-501 sniper rifle in both 3 and NV, why would the old version of the most used weapon ever is the most common?

Not him, but a game with lots of lore and background should be respected too.
If you write fiction, the best possible way to make it immersive and well written is to make it seem plausible and possible in X universe. Which Fallout 3 doesn't live entirely up. I think that is why >>246588259 is annoyed by the environment displayed in Fallout 3.

Thinking about replaying it again, but this time I want something different. I always up my charisma to 9 and throw as much as I can to guns, lockpick, and repair.

why fallout is bad compared to NV.

>>246591006
The issue isn't that people aren't acknowledging that Fallout 3 isn't necessarily 100% accurate, it's that because it isn't 100% accurate, Obsidiots get up in arms and say it's complete shit, while conveniently ignoring the fact that creatures like Nightstalkers, Radscorpions, Deathclaws, Yao Guai, Super Mutants, etc. Wouldn't fucking exist either. They cherrypick as hard as possible because "Obsdeeun r teh best, save-ur uv gaeming"

>>246589963
1. In Fallout 3 the excuse is that by the time Lion's excursion reached the Pentagon their T-51b was battered to uselessness, which makes no sense because they were designed (and even fueled) to last something like 100/1000 years with no support. So by chance they discovered a massive vault of technology in the Pentagon containing... prototype, obsolete suits. Not a vault of the mass-produced, state-of-the-art T-51b, but the prototypes. What Bethesda was thinking (or smoking) is a mystery.

2. The laser rifle is supposed to look functional. Obviously, it does not. Another mystery from Bethesda. I disagree with you on the plasma weapons, they looked accurate to the style for me.

3. I don't know what the fuck you tried to say with this one, maybe about the generic military sniper rifle from 3 and NV? The AM rifle was likely more limited by whatever factions used it to handling emerging heavy infantry such as power armor, before that the generic sniper rifle was more appropriate. If that isn't what you're talking about then please elaborate.

Ok the first point is somewhat decent, I can get behind the fact they found a vault in the DC full of T-45d suits. Makes sense since people wouldn't just trash all those prototypes.

>2. The laser rifle is supposed to look functional.

But they don't, they look like the first energy weapon ever made or homemade, thing is both civilians and militars before the great war already used mass produce energy weapons ( the Wattz series and the Glock for plasma weapons) Stuff like the Q-35 matter modulator is pretty fine since is made from an rocket engine.

About the sniper rifle, both 1 and 2 alongside New vegas says the Gun runners mass produce the lasted model of sniper rifle ( the DKS-501) but instead both games use the very old model of the DKS even when the new model is very easy to get and produce even after the war.

Actually, now that I think of it, they can look physically similar. But they also cannot be healed by radiation, and as you said, they will most certainly not live for a 100 years, if they even survive 1.

So, any must have mods?

While I dont like Fallout 3 I find it does one thing which NV didn't and disappointed me: Random encounters.

While not perfect they do make the game a little more alive unlike NV which sometimes the Mojave feels empty in your long walkings. Also even when is so dumb that a fucking british would cross the sea I like Allistair Tenpenny (more that anything, the suit) and the Pitt was pretty decent

>>246601170
But FO3 doesn't do the same..? The fuck? You trivialize out by making up things? What is your point even?

>>246601062

NV is still of better quality than FO3. It has more choices, and a more engaging world.

And before you go thinking "Obsididrone" or whatever, no, I've played both, and can say that I found NV more enjoyable, even if it was prone to freezing more often than FO3.

>>246601667
How does FO3 not stay true? Sounds like you're just repeating obsididrone shills.

>>246601495

If we're talking lore, the only thing FO3 was faithful was how a great war happened, world got fucked, and now it's two centuries later. That's really about it.

While NV wasn't a perfect return to form, it at least tried to expand more on things, whereas FO3 just kind of repeated elements from the first two games.

>>246601797
There are plenty of things, all which have repeatedly been mentioned, and you know it.

But if you really want to, then sure:

Ok So here we go, this deals mostly with the plot and such and can for the most part be over looked depending on you dedication to the franchise. This is not really in chronoligical order but rather what came to mind first.

Why can you not choose which side to side with. When I did my chaotic stupid playthrough it made little sense for me to side with the lawful good BoS. The railroading that went on in this game was unacceptable from previous iterations in the series and even with NV. It would make more sense if I could side with the Enclave.

Dr. Li. This is more of a comment on how she was given voice directions and such but holy crap. When you are escaping from the enclave for the first time she is the most schizophrenic person ever. Angry then soft and back around.

Vault 84? and the quest to get the GECK (ignoring the fact that the GECK is only supposed to be a suitcase of seeds, fresh water and some dirt not some Deus ex machina) (the FEV vault) has only two ingress points: A: the entrance, bathed in lethel raidiation, so much so that the only individuals who can move around near it are Super Mutants, centaurs and most likely ghouls. B: Little "fucking" lamplight, a village made up of children that does not even acknowlege how children act around older individuals. Anyone have a younger cousin or two (younger by like ten years) they will latch on to you and worship the ground you walk on not try and kick you out. Sorry I'm getting distracted, the Enclave "ambush" you how do they get around the crazy lethal doses of radiation and the kids who will not open their door? Massive plot hole the size of the Marianas trench.

I've got more if you need it.

Not that guy, but you can't. Sure, you can choose to go with Eden's plan, but that's not the same as joining the Enclave, since you can't lead them to victory, only the Brotherhood.

And no, the GECK wasn't always a Deus Ex Machina. It's just a survival kit to help one begin an all purpose farm somewhere. Not some terraforming device.

>>246564594

That voice, good lord, that VOICE

one thing that needs to be considered during the endless NV vs 3 threads is that fo3 had to start from scratch while NV had all the material from fo3 to work with. Both games are good NV just had a rich kid upbringing while 3 had hand me downs from oblivion.

>>246604150

It has some legitimacy though. Not counting the obvious speech checks, there still are more quests. Of course, why people think having more/less quest is a good/bad thing I don't know.

I mean, GTAV might have a few less story missions than IV did, but it was more varied in its missions than IV was.

>>246603809
> despite being destroyed in Fallout 2, Enclave respawns on the other side of continent
There was still a contingent at Nevarro, most of which fled to the east when the NCR attacked the base with BoS support. Those who stayed either died or went into hiding, the rest fled with Colonel Autumn. Logs from EDE suggest that there is also an enclave base in Chicago, its members may have joined Autumn when they fled.
> Brotherhood are boy scouts
Their faction has been expelled by the primary brotherhood in the west for betraying their ideals. Hence why the Outcasts split off to continue the real Brotherhood's work.
> Supermutants outside WestTec/Mariposa
Vault 87 was a control Vault where the inhabitants were purposefully exposed to FEV. Pretty much a cop out there, yes. Shit writing just so they can have Super Mutants.
> ghoulification can happen instantly
That is indeed, total bullshit.
> supermutants are brain-damaged freaks
In FO3, the strain of FEV used was a crappy, earlier form, which resulted in dumdums. Another cop out.
> feral ghouls cannot use weapons
They're mindless husks that seek only to feed. That one is hardly surprising.

>>246604353
NV only had around 15 months of development. When Sawyer said 18, he meant from start to finish, not mentioning testing and the likes, which takes some time, as well as getting the games out etc.

FO3 had 4 years, building the engine was two of them. Still had 9 months more, yet less content.

That being said, FO3 was a good game, but a poor Fallout. I like it.

>>246604353

Doesn't necessarily mean NV got it much easier. It had to use that shitty, buggy engine that Bethesda was plugging harder than a local whore, and only had a year and a half to make something out of the resources compared to the 3 or so years FO3 had in development

>>246604598
I prefer NV's quests in almost every respect, but that image is extremely misleading. The only reason it's posted is to start shitty arguments like the ones in this thread.

>>246604749

To be fair, the EDE thing was a bit of a copout too since it was basically forced to acknowledge what FO3 had done, since prior to that, FO2 had more or less implied they were wiped out.

As for the BoS, I think the real problem for people is that they're conflict isn't more focused on. It's just glossed over with "We wanted to be nice to people" and nothing else.

>>246604854
>>246604887
Well although 3 has less material and I do like NV a lot it is far far more glitch prone. I never had any game breaking glitch with three but I have to save constantly with NV because of it. I like both the same, maybe NV a little bit more. I just think they can't be compared in these endless fruitless arguments because their creations were so very different.

>>246603515
I ahve NEVER seena Fallout thread anywhere that WASN'T Obsidiots immediately finding any way they can to trash 3.

>>246604895

Then why not edit out the quests that are just speech checks and keep the ones that are actual quests? The idea of a "which one has more content?" isn't entirely bad, but shouldn't be misleading.

Well yes but is kinda fair if you look back at Fallout 1 and 2, most of the time is just a silly little thing or for example in 1 you will find Hub guards near the cell map ofthe Hub.

Like I say, is not perfect but makes a little difference, I just saying 3 do random encounters a bit better

I've never seen a Fallout thread where FO3 fans understand FO3 was a meh Fallout, or have obnoxious made up ideas, like how NV has less content and was smaller etc.

>>246605291
The EDE thing was a copout, no denying that. I think if they were allowed to, Obsidian would have tried to pretend FO3 never happened.

The BoS was lazy, yes. But at least they showed the ramifications of betraying the code, hence their dismissal from the main brotherhood and declared renegade.

>>246605430

And I've never seen a Fallout thread where someone has proven it's actual Obsidian obsessed fans and not just shitposters trying to make NV fans look insane and all FO3 look helpless and defenseless.

Seriously, like I said earlier, it's just like the shitposters in Final Fantasy threads who make it seem that VIII and IX fans are fanatical.

>>246605430
Why don't you look at this thread then you fucking idiot. FO3 fans started shtflinging.

>>246605467

Were you playing on PC? Because they gave that more fixes, than the console versions, which are both prone to freezing at least every half-hour

>>246605624
This is exactly what the fucking issue is. You can't even fucking deny that what I said is true, and while trying to mirror what Is aid, you only further proved my point.

"hurr just say it's worse hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

Is there a guide or something that I can use to maximize the amount of content I can do in one playthrough of NV? And then I can do another to sweep up the stuff I missed out on

>tfw i never noticed matthew perry voiced benny until like a month ago

>>246604854
NV had very little new assets. Like 15% tops, asset creations are what eat up the most time, NV was great with story but at the end of tje day it was nothing more than a glorified mod, of course they could make more quests

Whoops, did the math wrong with 12 instead of 16. New Vegas's map is actually 5776 squares, over double the size of FO3. Even just factoring in the playable area of the map it's still much more larger than FO3

No, you're mixing them with MidWest BoS from Fallout Tactics. In F3 they decided to be good guys out of blue, once they arrived into DC. Outcast left, because Lyons betrayed his orders.

In Fallout 1/2 mindless ghouls were still capable of using knifes and rifles.

It's Valve's fault.

Have you ever been in a Fallout thread? Like, ever? Within the first 10 posts it's guaranteed that somebody will start shittalking 3/bethesda for making 3. Don't even fucking pretend that isn't the case.

Yes, might be why.

(guy comparing it from before not the one you're replying to) But come to think of it I played it on PS3, 360, and PC and I only had game breaking glitches on consoles. Though PC still had it's share of invisible walls.

Glorified mod is such a poor argument. It adds over twice the content of Fallout 3, and adds even more weapons, 25.000 lines of dialogue more and tons of added weapons.
It's not just a mod, its an entirely new game.

>>246606429
apparently they decided to add invisible walls because when players made shortcuts by jumping uphill, companions were getting lost and killed, because gamebryo NPCs can't jump, or use pathfinding more advanced than CS bots have (ever saw one trying to knife you?)

Dont let these stupid made up 'grid line' debate images fool you. The 3x3 is entirely made up and has been shopped.
FO3 is actually much bigger than NV.

>>246606403
>Enclave in F3 have enough firepower to crumbstomp NCR, why would they run away in the first place?
Because bad writing. I'm just giving you the explanations, not excuses for their mistakes.
>No, you're mixing them with MidWest BoS from Fallout Tactics. In F3 they decided to be good guys out of blue, once they arrived into DC. Outcast left, because Lyons betrayed his orders.
While Lyons is officially recognized by the ruling council at Lost Hills as the leader of a Brotherhood faction, because of his changed priorities he receives no support from California and his faction, for all intents and purposes, is independent. The Outcasts left as they felt he had totally betrayed their mission.
> Vault 87 was a control Vault where the inhabitants were purposefully exposed to FEV.
Vault-Tec were involved with those experiments. Vault 87 was selected as a test vault, but like I said, because FEV breakthroughs mainly came through in 2077, the strain sent to Vault 87 by Vault-Tec, was an earlier strain.
>In Fallout 1/2 mindless ghouls were still capable of using knifes and rifles.

>>246608347

And some people have good reason to shit on them, as I said with their recent take on the Elder Scroll series. Seriously, this whole conspiracy that it has to be nothing but Obsidian fanboys is just ridiculous. It's like if anyone shows an interest one thing over another, they must be a drone or marketer or whatever.

>>246609064
Plus, none of these maps take into account the underground metro system in FO3, that seems to go on forever.

Not that its a good thing. Fucking hated those sewers. Like endless caves with Draugr in Skyrim, it was endless subway with Feral Ghouls. That and most of the subway was copy paste.

Which is exactly where Bethesda rewrote things. Mindless ghouls were canibalistic and highly agressive, but not at level of animals.

Bethesda added their own notes to lore disregarding that things have beign already defined. Which is exactly the case of making Vault-tec involved with F.E.V. experiments, or Brotherhood suddenly getting "fuck codex, let's be heroes!" mindset

>>246609720
>Tiny
top lel

Are you really saying that you'd rather have a huge wasteland with little content, than a bit smaller with twice the content?

>>246609456

Pretty much the same thing for me. While DC had some cool locations, it was fucking silly how every place was blocked in by convenient piles of rubble, and probably didn't even exist on the other side if you tried to clip through them. Both games had shit limitations, because they were using a shit engine.

>inb4 cries of "Stop attacking Bethesda!"

The engine was shit, it's a fact.

>>246609967
I like to call what they did "pseudo invisible walls", but they're not, so just call the walls I guess.

They did exact same thing as Obsidian with NV, just with rubble, cars, destroyed buildings etc. Which I'd say is better, but not always.

>>246609720

>Thinks that one person saying NV is bigger, that the other NV fans must think/feel the same way

Holy shit, projecting much? This is why it's clear you people are shitposting. An actual FO3 would either just say "make up your minds", or not fucking care at all. Grasping at straws like this only proves you're a real fan of the games at all.

What is a desert after the fucking apocalypse?
STILL THE SAME FUCKING DESERT.
On top of this the only dense urban area was still heavily populated, organized, and not hostile.
Dense, desolate oppressive urban environments are sorta the best part of post-apocalyptic settings.

That's why New Vegas' exploration was so boring compared to 3.
However New Vegas improved upon the game in every single other aspect.
New Vegas has more shit to do in a much more boring setting.

>>246609904
>a bit smaller with twice the content
First off, it wasn't just a bit smaller, NV was miniscule compared to Fallout 3. Second, the "content" in New Vegas was next to none, it had about less than the amount of things to do in Fallout 3 but because it's all broken up into pieces you get an artificial sense that there is twice as much content.

>>246564594
If you aren't satisfied with the vanilla game, some mods really really make up for it. New Vegas Bounties comes to mind.

Check out AlChestBreach's videos to get an idea of what mods you might like. Though I don't think most people will enjoy his humour.

>>246610193

To be fair, though NV at least kept it relegated to the larger places like Freeside and the strip. It was still stupid, sure, but at least made sense compared to town where the roads seemingly vanished, and yet had enough asphalt and concrete rubble to make 10 miles of road with.

You guys realize part of why NV's map has all that extra space on the sides is because the map has a portrait orientation instead of just being square right. They probably just wanted the actual physical map to be square but the mojave is a rectangle so they shoved some filler in at the sides to square it off. As a result, NV's map looks smaller because it's condensed and there's empty shit at the sides to square it off.

So I have gone through about three NV playthroughs and haven't played a single game of caravan.

Is it worth the time/caps? Does the luck skill affect it in any way?

>>246610885
I never bothered with Caravan. Just seemed a waste of time to me.

>>246610485

But DC was practically a desert too, even though 200 years means it should have been covered in more trees than the parks in fucking New York.

>>246610485
But Fallout is not supposed to be post-apocalyptic, but about the rebuilding of humanity. Even in Fallout 1, which is less than 100 years after the bombs we start seeing civilization growing (The Hub, Shady Sands). It's supposed to be post-post-apocalyptic.

>>246610725
It's not miniscule at all, they're almost the same size.
>Artificial sense of content
Yeah, fuck off, cheap bait.

>>246610846
Yeah, that's what I think as well. I'd rather have invisible walls, which I hate, than endless piles of rubble and destruction IF it doesn't fit the landscape, which it wouldn't in NV's case.

>>246610725
Yeah, 3 had like twice as many quests and significantly more faction options.

Oh wait no, I got that backwards.

At least 3 had fun locations to go to while New Vegas was a bunch of rubble and copy pasted metro tunnels. Huh, wait, got that wrong again.

Well, at least 3 had an intriguing and well fleshed out plot while New Vegas had a retarded babbys first story that made no sense either on its own or in the established lore.

WAIT NO GOT THAT WRONG AGAIN

>>246610885
Never did finish filling that map out, but I don't have the link anymore. I did Boomers, Primm, Goodsprings, NCR at Camp McCarran, and Chomps Lewis at Sloan.

But there are invisible walls in the nowhere areas. It at least makes sense that someone blocks your path into a town rather than some magical barrier. Though why they couldn't have just recycled the metal plating walls, who knows. We just pretends humans tried to settle into the areas and moved on after a while.

To be fair, the way the GECK acts in FO3 is like a Deus Ex. It literally can turn shit into gold or whatever, like magic. Even though the original GECK in FO2 was clearly just a cropfield in a suitcase with all the needed shit to make a farm out of any patch of dirt, not turn broken land into paradise.
