It’s hard to say from such a distance, but it may be that he is good at sex and trustworthy. That’s enough a lot of the time. People make things too complicated.
Can confirm. Source: am short white guy, my ex is a truly statuesque black woman. Only way I know it's not about me is because I don't bother with Fallout past 2.
Well see, that's a real mistake.
I can take or leave the others, but New Vegas is special. It has plenty of shortcomings, but it's still the last good Fallout.
It's an FPS. I'm totally uninterested in the gameplay.
Unless it can be played as a 2D turn-based strategy RPG, I'm not going to bother with it. If they made a Geneforge 6 and made it an FPS, I'd be just as turned off. I feel the same way about Might & Magic vs. Heroes of Might & Magic.
But fallout has this function for people without hand eye coordination i.e. RPG players where you hit V and then you can pick the body parts to aim at.
Still no interest. I want to see my avatar, my party, the enemy, and the terrain. I don't want a 'first-person' camera.
You can use a third person camera but yeah it's still a different pov.
Have you tried Underrail ? It's popular among the old school fallouts fans
I haven't even heard of it, but I'll check it out!
All the OG fallout fans I know can't stop recommending this game so you'll probably like it
How do you sniper an enemy in 2D turn-baaed RPG? The game map would have to zoom out a lot to get any sneak advantage
By using a sniper rifle and having a range of more hexes than other weapons.
It's pretty clear after reading enough comments that you just aren't interested in trying anything outside of your incredibly narrow selection of RTS and point and click games. That being said virtually every point you bring up is a non-issue with New Vegas because of the incredible mod library. Hell, I'm sure there's a collection of mods to turn New Vegas into a top down RTS if you look. Just wanted to point out that bringing things up point by point will be an eternity because New Vegas is so customizable, you'll save yourself time by just saying you don't have interest in trying out new things you aren't already experienced with.
The person you’re responding to straight up already said “I’m disinterested in the game because it’s not what I wanted” and you’re out here arguing with them about having an opinion.
They only continued to explain themselves because people couldn’t accept they had a different opinion.
MAYBE just MAYBE you ought to allow others to be themselves.
I am? I'm not a mod, you and he can do as you please, I'll do likewise. 😘
Have you tried Wasteland? I can’t remember the connection, but some of the developers were involved with or close the production of the first 2 Fallouts.
These games feel like what Fallout would have become had they not changed to FP.
I’m playing 3 right now. It’s great.
The original (eg, DOS era) Wasteland was a heavy inspiration for the Fallout series. New Vegas harkens back to it; the NCR Rangers are inspired by the Desert Rangers.
Wasteland was good. I wish it had stuck to being GURPS.
There's a playable version of Fallout Van Buren, the original fallout 3, that has a lot of the same story points, themes, and settings as New Vegas. I also recommend Wasteland 2 and 3 if you haven't played them
I had heard the comment that NV is basically Van Buren in 3's engine, yes. I'm interested.
Brother, New Vegas is one of the greatest games ever created. There are probably a hundred hours worth of video essays on YouTube about why this game is a masterpiece. There's a reason it has one of the biggest and still active Nexus Mods page. There's a reason there's an active online multiplayer mod of this game that came out in 2009. It's fucking good.
