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.

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.

[–] Yadaran@feddit.de 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I have no Intention of modding NV tbh

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago

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
