Board 8 > Should I give New Vegas a shot if I didn't really like Fallout 3?

(+) Yeah! (+)

New Vegas has much better dialogue and locations, in my opinion. It all comes down to preference, though.

It's hard work living as a sloth, but he finds time to relax.

Setting is worse IMHO, but dialogue is better though.

And by the setting being worse, I refer to New Vegas itself. The Mojave Wasteland itself is alright. The city is bad though. Doesn't feel like Vegas at all

It's $9.99 on Steam right now, and I've got a morbid curiosity. I didn't really actively dislike FO3, the dialogue and locales (not the overall setting) were just kind of boring to me and the game didn't hold my attention for very long.

So, is New Vegas better, worse, or about the same?

--
What is this, some kind of joke?!
Go, then. There are other worlds than these.

FONV has a better main quest, better gameplay, and (in general) better dialogue.

FO3 has better sidequests, and better exploration.

So make of that what you will in your decision. Then again, if you're buying it through the Steam sale like I assume you are, what's to lose in $10?

You should. And then you should give me the pip boy in TF2.

And I disagree with this.

FO has a much better main quest while FONV side quests are where it's at.

Also FONV has a much more diverse environment.

You beat yourself up with your past. Don't blame yourself, blame the world. Blame God. Blame me.

Yeah, if dialogue was your problem, give New Vegas a shot

I played 3 after NV, and I really couldn't stand the voice acting and writing in it.

I strongly disagree here. The Pitt was the best DLC I've ever downloaded for any game, and Point Lookout was pretty awesome too.

I didn't play much of FO3 but it seemed like its environments were rubble and rubble and rubble and sewers (pretty sure I quit playing in a sewer because it was so boring, actually)

Anyway, I'm downloading it now. Are there any bug fixes or mods that I should be aware of?

--

I mean it's fine DLC, but Broken Steel and Point Lookout are way better.

I probably would, but I've got a friend who would literally figuratively kill me if I didn't give it to him.

When does the NV sale end? I'm guessing 1PM EST tomorrow.

New Vegas is so much better than Fallout 3 it's not even funny. More weapons, more quests, more things to do, crafting, better dialogues, better companions, better DLCs, etc.

Yeah. They've got Fallout 3, all of the 3/NV DLC, and a Bethesda/id bundle pack on sale, too.

Better than finding destroyed building # 703 and ENDLESS SEWERS .

I just bought it for $10, got the amazing TF2 Pip Boy, and played 2 hours.

I like it so far... I just finished playing Call of Pripyat though so I can't help but compare the two games, and it seems a lot clunkier than Call of Pripyat. The Pipboy menu is awful, but the VATS is pretty cool. Skills/perks look really interesting so that gives good motivation to level up and explore, and you can steal from/kill anyone you want. Seems promising.
