Rule Vegas
Real old heads know this is how we talked about FO1 and FO2 in the years until and after FO3 came out, probably right up until New Vegas came out.
30-something year olds who had played in their late teens/early twenties talking wistfully of Shady Sands to The Master, and Arroyo to Frank Horrigan.
Also, the reason New Vegas is still talked about like that because it actually captured the atmosphere of 1 and 2 which 3 failed to do miserably.
God sometimes I genuinely wish Interplay/Black Isle had been allowed to finish Van Buren. Then maybe it wouldn’t have taken until 2023 until proper western RPGs became popular again.
I would die and go to heaven for a Fallout in the style of Baldur’s Gate 3, but its owned by Bethesda who are massive pussies and say “we built this world and we want you to see all of it” so no quest ever means anything because you’re always the hero and can go anywhere and access anything. Unlike our current BG3, which just asks you to replay the game in a different way… exactly like FO1/2.
God fuck you Todd Howard for ruining Fallout.
From my understanding, Bethesda was able to keep the series alive after it was mismanaged by the original company. 3 wasn’t absolutely valueless, and without it, we wouldn’t have gotten New Vegas or a faithful TV show. The original creators have expressed gratitude for what Bethesda was able to do, as it was definitely a net positive for the series.
I’m hoping the modding community can mod new vegas into fallout 4, I know there’s a mod that sorta does it but I want the whole game
I don’t know if you know or not but it’s being worked on it’s just taking a long time the project is called fallout 4 new vegas that sort of you’re talking about I presume you mean project mojave that’s by the fallout 4 capital wasteland team desperate from f4nv f4nv is doing the whole game no planned release date just it comes out when it comes out
I missed the trans reference on the first read

Honestly, so did I
I’m playing Fallout London right now (after playing a free copy of Fallout 76 for a while), and while they appear to have incorporated several mods that reduce the crap nature of Fallout since NV, there are things that FO3 and NV just did better. Dramatically better. And there are things that NV did that were dramatically better than FO3.
Various game features may vary in popularity among fans (I personally hate prefix/suffix stacking for enemies and weapons and modular crafting), but I think pretty much everyone agrees that FO4 didn’t do anything better than FO3/NV, other than mildly improved graphical fidelity and gunplay. Everything about the gameplay, storytelling, UI and immersion was just dumbed-down to a worthless nub. 76’s writing is easily the worst of them all, I can’t remember a single quest, they’re all equally uninteresting. I can remember some of 4’s quests, but in none of them did I feel like I had any agency.
on my 🥇 first play through.
