thats because everyone who made NV probably left Obsidian at this point
I'm really not upset about that, developers are going to be retards at the end of the day, I don't think theres much hope change on that front, Obsidian are a bunch of talentless hacks, but completely ignoring games in general because of disagreeable content means only playing old games
For your first playthru, you should play completely vanilla with DLC. Once you finish the game, then you will get a better idea as to what you want, but the base game is fine by itself after the patches that stabilized it.
Viva New Vegas is what I've used in the past and it works great. Titans of the New West is mandatory in my opinion! I also tell most people to get the Living Desert mod, I'm 99% certain it doesn't effect anything vanilla in a bad way.
Because anything thats not a first person action shooter is considered "too hard" and "slow" to normalfags
Completely accurate. Half a century of unrestricted illegal immigration has really done a number on central California's infrastructure, and the legislature's refusal to impose harsher penalties for the production and sale of meth guarantees the ghoul infestation will continue unabated.
Brotherhood of Steel was a piece of shit game and the sequel would change half a dick about that. The only good part of it is the Florida setting, which is getting recycled for Fallout Miami mod(yes, there is some inspiration from BOS 2 in there) so the game is good for exactly nothing now.
Like thats your opinion man, but I do see that you said last ditch effort and bleeding money badly, so I think they had more issues than BOS not selling greatly. Personally I feel like had Van Buren released instead not much would be different. Maybe New Vegas would be in a BoS setting instead of vegas.
TTW is set aside for the playthrough after the vanilla one. I still have my install discs for the GotY edition of 3, so I should be good to go there.
We can't say if Van Buren would be a success, but at least it would sell better. POS was aimed at console dudebros, except nobody bought it both because it didn't actually attract the target audience, was ridiculed and hated by the core fanbase, and because the game was just straight up not good. At least I heard some good things from the Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance games, which play very similarly, not so much with POS. Van Buren had the already established CRPG fanbase who were hungry for a real RPG after the release of Fallout Tactics(a surprisingly controversial title within the classic Fallout community, which is silly looking back) so just letting the devs finish the game would have been a smarter play. Fallout 3 sure did. Plus, 3D graphics and real time action might have also attracted more mainstream players at the time, who knows. I think there was also talk of including multiplayer, altho not sure if it would be coop or deathmatch like in Tactics. Either way, I don't think Van Buren would save Interplay, their downfall is legendary and I suggest anyone who isn't familiar with it look it up. I think Indigo or NoClip might have a documentary on that, otherwise Tim Cain talks a lot about his time there. At best, it would only stop the bleeding until Interplay did something else incredibly stupid and wasteful.
Kinda like goin on a tard rage because someone said outer worlds wasn't good.
People can say what they want about the game, I am just Correcting The Record(TM) when necessary. Plus, this is a warm up for when Outer Worlds 2 comes out, if it's not any worse than the first game then I am not going to be humble about it. Not just one but two Obsidian space RPGs better than Starfield? I can't let an opportunity like that pass me by.
My favorite part is it won't get canceled because of this note in the description
I'm assuming they've been looking for their next hit and finally found it.
Just a heads up, there is nothing stopping you from skipping straight to Vegas. The detour the main quest points out to you is much easier than going straight thru the critters directly north, but there is no invisible walls or quest triggers forcing you to take the detour either. Something to keep in mind when replaying the game, similarly to how you can go straight to Vault 112 in Fallout 3 if you know where it is and skip the entire first act.
even though I enjoy FO4 the on-rails experience immediately after Vault 111 was always a turn off for me im considering giving FO3 another shot, its old but is still straight forward enough to not filter me, I might browse nexus later to see if theres any decent graphics mods though
Believe me, just picking a direction and heading towards it is the optimal way to play the game. I skipped the Concord tutorial and never even activated Minutemen in my latest playthru, and it was one of the best ones. Just goes to show you how forced that whole setpiece is, game plays much more organically when you aren't given OP gear, kill a deathclaw and then get made a fucking general within the first 15 minutes. Who would have thought?
