The worst thing is, the use of jet as a physical item/loot in Pre-war areas makes some kind of sense with a little handwaving (if you presume that 'Jet' just refers to amphetamines in the Commonwealth) so all they needed to do was get the fucking terminology right. But, nope.
>>336110505
they would've pleased lorefags but lost FO3fags
and their target audience is the meme crowd.
>>336110505
What terminology?
>>336110363
>>336110565
Fucking Bethesda.
>>336110821
Not using the term 'jet' in pre-war script, I mean.
>>336110505
>(if you presume that 'Jet' just refers to amphetamines in the Commonwealth)
That could have been kind of interesting. Like if you only got broad categories of chems (e.g. amphetamines, opiates, hallucinogens) each giving you a range of random effects that can be isolated with a high enough science or through in universe knowledge gained through perks or books.
Maybe throw in the ability to craft chems using misc items with a chance to horribly poison/blow up yourself if you make a mistake.
>>336110941
Oh yeah. Jet is basically mutated cow shit.

NV is a desert...BORING f all to explore and the Caesars legion and the NCR are crap and dont want to know anything about them. the brotherhood hood of steel vs the enclave is the best imo, with the armour they wear and the weapons they have. NV didnt get hit by the nuclear blast at all so why is there mutants and shanty looking houses its absolute bs that game
FO3 is the best, even though NV had some improvements leave it to bethesda to make games.
Bethesda picking up the franchise is the best thing that could have happened to it.
Fallout 3 is probably my favorite modern game of all time. I love everything about it, from the decimated ruins of D.C., to the dark swamps of Maryland. The enemies are varied; from the stomping Super Mutants to the creepy ghouls to the sadistic Raiders. The guns were all fun and there was a ton to do in terms of side quests and hidden areas. I've completed it over four times, and there's still several things that I haven't seen yet. The world is so packed that it would take several months just to discover everything.
New Vegas, your just running around the desert shooting people. Not many Ghouls, Enclave, BoS, monsters... Plus I'd be running in a straight line and then suddenly I'm blocked. That area is off limits. In Fallout 3 you could get to any area on the map. Vegas seemed really limited

>so why is there mutants
play the game
The writing in FO3 is better, i felt more attached to my character and the others, also there was more of an emphasis on exploration and doing what you like. FONV is more linear and there's not as much reason to explore, and if you choose too the map is smaller with less locations and too many freaking invisible walls.
It's just not a Fallout game without this track

Fallout 3 had a great atmosphere, a good storyline that makes you feel like you are that person from a baby to kid to teen to adult, it also captured the end of the world feeling like people dying, begging for water, and people trying to get by, i also like the vaults and just walking around the wastland is interesting getting surprised when seeing a building or city still standing and less buggy and load times, the brotherhood of steel vs the enclave was a epic battle with the giant robot and saving or destroying megaton with the atom bomb the characters were more intersting to me. There were more ghouls and the repution and your action affected the whole wastland instead of just a group meaning what ever you did three dog will talk about it on the radio calling you a hero or a asshole
But i didnt like about new vegas because the story kinda sucked like your story is that you are just a courier that got shot in the head for a platinium chip and you comback to get revenge on the one who killed you
It was also very buggy like my companion would get stuck in rocks, i could not get out of a conversation the game would crash alot on me
The characters were not interesting at all
The strip was boring as hell i thought it was going to be fun and interesting instead it was small and boring you really can do much in it
I almost forgot new vegas a new mode called hardcore mode which is only for expierenced players

You can stop shitposting now
I've heard people say that Fallout 3 being depressing is a big issue, and I don't see where it's coming from. It's a post-apocalyptic world, it's supposed to be dark and it isn't supposed to be a lively place. My main issue here is that New Vegas is set in such a much more cheerful society where there's agriculture and a bustling economy. There's what, 5 years between the start of the two games? How is the huge difference in atmosphere and day-to-day life explained? It isn't, it just is like that. Sure enough it's in different parts of the country, but people travel, even in this war-ravaged land. There shouldn't be such a huge difference between the two areas.

And here comes the trolls
Fallout 3 takes the cake in this cake without a doubt, the entire point of the series is to have a more Post-Apocalyptic feel to it, which Fallout 3 had, where NV felt more like a Western that had future guns and mutants. Although NV may have been "bigger" Fallout 3 really captured the theme and had better characters in it.... You could have Doc Mitchell and Sunny Smiles, or you can have your Dad (I LOVE LIAM NEASON) and Colin Moriarty. My guess is most people would pick the latter. The only thing NV had over 4 was better followers, and weapons... I want story lines and in-depth looks into the game with high replay value ( I replayed NV 5 times where I played Fallout 3 17 times
>>336112371
Just stop. You're not good at this.
I hate the Mojave compared to the Capitol Wasteland. Mainly because the Capitol Wasteland actually felt like a wasteland, filled with crazy ass raiders and mutated monsters all trying to kick your ass. The Mojave was a little too.. friendly? for my taste.
I'v heard a lot of people complain about the story in 3, but in my opinion it was waaaaaay better than New Vegas' story. The whole trying to purify the water and possibly taming the wasteland mattered a lot more to me than chasing after some dude who shot me in the head. Revenge stories usually work better if you know who the fuck you're getting revenge on.

Please leave you are the cancer of this board because it's either really shit bait that has no purpose or you are truly stupid enough to believe this. I honestly don't know which is worse.
>>336110897
Todd Howard is right about this kind of stuff, high fantasy that is constantly rewriting its own rules is shit
Fallout 3 is better without a doubt. I've totalled about 500 hours in that game since i've had it. I love everything about, from exploring the ruins of DC to sniping in the capital wasteland, plus I love the history and the 50s culture - from every street you walk down in the DC ruins to every building you search, you know that 200 years ago, people used to live and work here happily. Operation Anchorage, and heading back those 200 years to fight the Chinese was a bonus. New Vegas? Played it for 30 minutes before putting it back in the case. Not what a Fallout game should be like; a natural wasteland with an undestroyed city? Come on....

he was sent by Robert House to spy on you. There was supposed to be a fight between you and Vic if you betray House but this was cut out.
here's some Q&A from Josh Sawyer, the lead designer of Fallout: New Vegas

Fuckin' New Vegas only got 18 months in development. Could've needed a year more and I wouldn't have minded at all.
