>Fallout 1 & 2
Good for their time, great story for their time..

>Fallout 3
Horrific gameplay for a 2008 game Horrific physics
Horrific graphics
Copy paste world with badly scripted random events
Minimal boring, and short story, with about 5 side quests.
Bad dialog choices

>Fallout new vegas
Improved gameplay
Improved physics
Memorable map with more important locations, and less copy paste raider dens.
[Content not included due to time restraints]
[content cut due to time restraints]
Great story, but as the creators wanted could have been improved.
Tons of side quests..
Great meaningful dialog choices

>Fallout 4
"Optimized game-play"
Improved physics
Improved graphics
Improved map with a few important locations, but mostly raider dens
More realistic colorful palette
Cliche rehashed story with repetitive side quests, go here kill this, grab this, simple quests, and easily miss-able random events, pointless miscellaneous fetch quests.
Settlement babysitting.
Useless settlers.

See thats the problem New Vegas had, when it came out it was painfully stuck with a shitty old engine, and I feel even-though fallout 4's version of the engine has been tweaked, and expanded, A new fallout will suffer the same fate.

It's better than 50 shades of grey and green
It's also simply realistic, are you expecting a rainbow colored saints row styled Mojave DESERT?
At least the sky is blue, and the weeds are green instead of more grey and brown.
Fallout 4 did still improve on that even if the amount of unmoved debris is still annoying.

new vegas is the same game you dumb fuck. you'd think with all the praise obshitian gets from dipshits like you they would know how to make their own game without needing to stand on someone else's shoulders, but when they actually make a game of their own they make a buggy jankfest like alpha protocol or a game that looks like it was made in 1999. meanwhile bethesda continues to make industry-leading games yet takes shit for it from twerps like you.

But muh big dinosaur, boomers, and new vegas.
Also the invisible walls were an error by the developer as the forgot to remove them before the game came out.

Obsidian is a smaller company than Bethesda, both companies are absolute trash when it comes to gameplay, but Obsidian can at least make compelling stories and characters to mask it. Bethesda just makes drivel. Plus, you mentioned Alpha Protocol, which is probably has the best choices that actually matter in a game to date.

NV was a F3 with popular mods.
Most of the things that made NV stand out (survival mode, crafting system, diverse companions, enemy factions, iron sights) were already available as mods months before the development of NV began.

>>333025736
See:
>>333024553

>>333025736
Except NV also had a good story and a nice world.

It also was nice that they bothered to implement all the things that people turned to modders to do from day 1, rather than just going "lol, mods will fix it". Whereas 3 needs mods.

I actually had a lot of fun with Fallout 4. It was worth the money to me, even though it was on sale. I'll probably end up picking up the dlc for it. Either that or just install the pirated dlc with the mexus mod manager lol. That's what I did with all of the New Vegas dlc.

In theo ff chance you're not b8ing, the maion thing that had NV catch my attention while I dropped F3 earyl on were the skill checks. My character being a doctor actually felt like a fucking doctor because of the medicine skill checks, my character as a scientist actually felt like one because of quests that used the skill. 3 had very littleo f that.

Oh, and, Bethesda's general ineptitude when it comes with Fallout storytelling. They do fine with TES, but it's obvious Todd doesn't give a fuck about what Fallout is.
>>
>>333025987
It helps that it actually lets you roleplay by giving you choices in all of the quests and story. It also reintroduces roleplay mechanics that Fallout 3 either removed or dumbed-down, like traits, factions, and reputation.

I hated it at first, but once the opening sequences were over it was okay. Then I decided to try Project Brazil for NV halfway through and when I went back to 4 it was just so boring.

Yeah, another thing modders released 2 years before NV released.
You guys are always trash talking vanilla 3 when NV is just an unstable compilation of mods with a good story.
>>
>>333026341
Except here's the thing, the fact that they bothered the implement it anyway rather than just expecting the community to fix their game is good of them. Especially since console plebs don't have mods so have to rely on this kind of mercy from developers.

Obsdian didn't expect the community to pick up the slack for them, they released a good game so now modders can worry about making mods that expand upon it rather than fixing it. But ultimately what is your point? You agree NV had all this good stuff, what's the problem?
>>
>>333026631
That's because vanilla 3 sucked and NV didn't.

You can harp on about ripping off mods or whatever until you're blue in the face, it doesn't make 3 any more good or NV any less fun.
>>
>>333026631
A good story, implemented into a better world that allows for the gameplay to be executed in the spirit of Fallout. Even if Fallout 3 had all the mechanical features of NV it would shit because Bethesda doesn't understand how to write Fallout and how to make the game come togetehr as an experience. Just read the fucking picture. But obviously you're already convinced that super cool shooty game with the cool nuke theme is better than everything else, so I won't respond to you any longer.
>>
>>333026341
I wonder what is your opinion on Fallout 4 and its "brand new features".
>>
>>333026661
Bethesda had to build an engine from scratch and turned Fallout into 3d and most people loved it.
3 already had a ton of content something modders expanded upon.
I hate the use of the word entitlement but it seems oddly correct. I do not know what your point is when you want another 50 hours of content on top of the 60 you already got.
My point is that Obsidian copied all those mods instead of putting any own effort into it and people like you list it as something Obsidian brought to the table which simply isn't true.
What they made is a good story and a halfway interesting setting.
Everything else was Bethesda and the modding community.

War never changes breh. Also >expecting any moral good from Legion.

The point of the paths were that they were all "good" but with more than its own share of pronounced flaws. The best you're going to get in terms of objectivity is to do shit like help Goodsprings out and also to kill off the Powder Gangers.

There are some "good" ending slides, but alot of them are honestly depressing but there's a very "realist" nature to a lot of them.

This is an opinion, your opinion, not a fact.
Both can be equally good, you might just not enjoy one or the other, doesn´t make either one better or worse.
And bethesad games were never complex, much less since they started making everything a shooter with or without guns.

The only plothole was how the general was able to get into the geck vault and you could attribute that to gameplay and story segregation.
There are more plotholes in NV (why did Caesar not check the robot army after you, House predicted a nuclear fallout up to one week but forgot about Yes Man going rogue, Caesar openly admits he wants the Legion to fail after defeating the NCR but literally everyone can hear him in the tent, Caesar does not care for using the power of Hoover Dam but does not destroy it either etc
>>
>>333026718
Are you seriously trying to say that vanilla NV is a great game? Am i the only one who remembers how SHIT that game was at launch? It funnels you through all the stupid set pieces right out of the gate and the world was empty as all fuck. Any enemies you encountered were scripted to remain in that one spot and that one spot only. If you walked in any given direction in Fallout 3 you were bound to encounter rouge robots, slavers, ghouls, super mutants, and a shit ton of raiders. Not to mention bounty hunters depending on your karma. In NV you had random hit squads from enemy factions attack from time to time, but that's about it. you only fight mutants in black mountain, or in any location where it's tied to a quest line. Same goes for robots, raiders and just about any other enemy. F3's map was definitely more fun to explore. Sure NV was written better, but the problem is, it"s only good when your following the script, once you try to explore and experience the world organically (especially on a second playthrough) it just feels empty.

New Vegas was best Fallout game but 3 had best setting.

And also, you know. Why does it matter if the Enclave takes over the water purifier since the president is dead and infecting the thing with FEV was his idea? Or why can't your radiation immune companions activate it? The entirety of Little Lamplight.

Why so much focus on that shitty faction?

Why not a Followers of Apocalypse focused game? They are a million times better.

Because they have a cool name.

And on that note I'm amazed Bethesda haven't decided to use the Followers of the Apocalypse yet.

Fallout 1 and 2 are fun if you can get into their awkwardness. It's the kind of game you got and played and adjusted to their crap factor but then found out it's really good, and you can play over and over. You had nothing else to do, you just had this game and no internet connection.

Fallout 3 would be fine, on the same level as Fable, if it wasn't called "Fallout"

NV is about the best thing they could have done with F3, the only thing I'd have suggested they add at the last minute is a more compact UI so you don't have to download DarnifiedUI. The cut content is a fucking shame

haven't tried F4, heard it's a bad FPS that dropped the RPG elements like allocating stats and point, and I've seen the screenshots where all of your dialogue choices translate into "yes"

The FPSness of 4 isn't that bad.

That is until you get to higher levels with enemies that take hundreds of bullets. It's not uncommon to run into Monty Python tier fights with ghouls and robots where all their limbs come off but this nugget is still trying to fight you anyway.

What mods are you playing around with nowadays? Not the big ones like Project Nevada, but some lesser known ones you happen to like. I finally finished my NCR and Legion runs so i've exhausted endings but still want to play more
>>
>>333037048
Currently playing Cogito Ergo sum with the Type 6 body. Run your own whorehouse, pretty fun.

I generally avoid total conversion mods as they tend to fuck up everything with useless features like freaking bullet time. What next? Time rewind from prince of persia?

I am also open to suggestions about mods that make small changes.

Have you tried the Quick Start mod? It starts you outside of Doc's house and lets you pick all your character creation stuff from the start. You still have to go through all the "dlc pack has been loaded" stuff.

They improved jack shit, but you can't make good out of bad.
Fallout 3 is a fucking turd and so is NV, but NV is mostly fault of the engine being forced onto Obsidian.
Fallout 4 isn't that bad desu senpaitachi, it's a decent shooter.
>>
>>333040972
are you actually, seriously, literally, honestly implying that F4 has something over NV? In any way, shape or form?
You are a piece of shit.
>>
>>333041068
I'm implying Fallout 4 isn't a crippled abomination of RPG/FPS, it actually goes and becomes a decent shooter unlike NV.
Too bad shooting is the only thing you'll be doing in 4. Dialogue choices are inexistent, you play a premade character that you only adjust stats of, which seals the deal as not being an RPG.

Beth stopped pretending they're making an RPG, which is a GOOD thing, I'd rather a decent shooter than whatever the fuck 3/NV was. They also made power armor into actual fucking power armor, albeit I dislike the whole power core thing, they shot themselves in the foot by advertising the game on power armor customization.
>>
>>333015268
NV is literally just a reskin of 3, it's yellow instead of green and it takes place in a desert instead of a wasteland

they're both equally shitty games, though I slightly prefer 3 because I played it first
>>
>>333041530
If you base it on gameplay alone then yes.

But in that sense 1&2 absolutely suck.
>>

>>333041612
It's hard to compare CRPGs to 3D open-world RPGs, but I'd say 1 & 2 are quite good for what they are (especially at the time), while the modern Fallout games are kind of bad because they're trying to be too many things at the same time, and they end up being disappointing in every aspect because of it.

Also the reason I'm not a fan of this series is because I played ALL of them the wrong way. I tried to roll a Charisma character in every single one of these games, thinking I could sweet-talk my way out of most encounters.

But none of the games allow you to do that (despite having seemingly a lot of non-combat stats/skills/perks), and I end up getting fucked up in every forced combat situation due to my poor build.

I know part of it is my fault, but I still think it's bad game design that they allow that to happen. In VTM:B for example, I rolled a Toreador character and I don't remember having as much trouble, at least not until the sewers anyway. And that game was rushed out.
>>
>>333042640
To be fair I kind of agree.

Charisma has always been the worst attribute by far despite being tied to possibly the best skill. 2 kind of tried to rectify that a bit but it was still more or less useless outside of extremely specific situations.
