NV > 3 > 4

I used to like 3 best but before 4 came out I decided to complete NV with TTW all the DLC in one go, it has by far the best story and roleplaying of all the games. I like the setting and map of 3 better but the Obsidian writing is just top notch, the way you can influence the world and make alliances or enemies is great.

4 is better than the other two in almost every sense besides the fucking RPG elements, of which there might as well not be any. The story is bad and full of plotholes, the writing is bad, the roleplaying is terrible, dialogue is awful, you can't influence the factions in any meaningful way, speech checks are a joke, there are no skill checks. Nothing you do is meaningful or changes the world in any tangible way.

Turns out being immersed and having meaningful interactions with the characters and world trumps nice graphics and better combat.
>>
>>344073272
So the real question becomes: when will obsidian make another fallout game?

3 was shit and still is, 4 has good gameplay but Bethesda half assed everything else
>>
>>344075675
>Something is either shit or good, relative in-betweens don't exist
kys

Fallout 4 managed to dumb down fallout's RPG elements even more than fucking Fallout 3. For all of Fallout 3's shittiness, it didn't have a fucking dialogue wheel and it kept somewhat expanded dialogue choices and it still had perks and skills. The stories in both are shit and the gameplay in both is shit as well, maybe a bit better in F4. The RPG elements are diluted in both games but a lot more in F4, therefore it's a much shittier game.
>>
>>344076193
I agree that the RPG elements are fucked worse in 4 but the simple act of walking around and shooting things in Fallout 3 is fucking annoying to me where as in 4 it's kinda good and considering that's what you do the most in this games that matters to me in these two games since I don't like the story, most characters, or RPG elements.
>>
>>344070934
Fallout 3. If we're talking which is the best Fallout, it's 2 followed by a thread via NV.

With 4, Bethesda got lazy. They got another studio to do the combat (id Software) whilst they sat back, done nothing and let Emil Pagliarulo shitpost the same bad story with a twist.

The settlement faggots are the fucking worst out of all this mess. They're applauding a feature which shouldn't be in the game at all.

I would play the game just for settlements, I love it, but they're completely non-functional and they don't actually do anything.
Ring your settlement with 30 foot high concrete walls topped with rocket launchers and they will still generate missions saying feral ghouls are giving them problems, or a raider somehow got inside kidnapped someone.
It's also buggy as fuck and the NPCs often don't interact with the shit you placed for them.

The whole thing is pointless ans frustrating and I wish I had realized that before I sunk so much time into it.

>>344075853
No, it wasn't fatigue. It was a huge drop in fucks to give about anything happening in Boston. There was nothing to see and nothing to do. 3 had Dukov, republic of Dave, ghouls living in a library, tenpenny tower, rivet city, Andale, Tunnel Snakes, historical sites attached to good quests, slavers, little big town, Dunwhich building, actual places were Raiders were living and not just scattered everywhere in a retarded manner like in 4.

4 had, umm, hubris comics? I guess that was kind of fun. Umm, generic buildings that had enemies respawn for shitty radiant quests. It had settlements you had to build which did nothing but waste time. Gunners, super mutants, raiders and CoTA placed everywhere in a nonsensical fashion.

It amazes me how little effort Bethesda put into Fallout 4, how low they put the bar, yet people still can't grasp "what was missing"

Maybe it's because I actually played FO3 and NV several times from beginning to end, but I know full well the multitude of ways Fallout 4 was just a lazy cash grab.
>>
They're pretty equally shit.
>>
>>344077648
Actually come to think of it I agree with NV. NV really complimented Fallout 2.

Fallout 3 wasn't a true Fallout game, especially in terms of lore.
>>
>>344078134
Big MT isn't even in Nevada. It was way past The Divide which is in California. Besides, if it's "a dumb fucking reference" why was it even mentioned? Do they like undermining other people's work like they did with the Jet?
>>
What is worse? Not having a choice or the illusion that you have a choice?
>>
>>344070934
They both have their own shitstains, just in different places.
>>
>>344070934
In my hundred hours of 3, and my less than five hours of 4, I think I like 4 more. I just haven't played it much because my computer sucks.
I missed leveling up and allocating points, don't like the new big stat menu full of vault boys
>>
>>344079304
The illusion of choice but Fallout 4 wasn't very illusive. It's one thing to have the protag say the same thing, but it's another to have the NPC you're talking to say the same things with every choice too.

Most RPG's add a layer of dialogue exclusive to the text you chose then move onto the generic same dialogue. It isn't perfect, nor is it massive, but it's a lot better than "Tough shit, another settlement needs your help, now give me your pipboy whilst I put it on the map".
>>
>>344078203
I want to believe the next Elder Scrolls game won't have a voiced protagonist or dialogue wheels, but I won't get my hopes up.

The water isn't deadly. Sure, it has rads and mud but since purified water is hard to come by they're forced to live with it and drink that trash.

The FEV just makes the lethal factor even more significant since you can hardly come out alive after drinking it. Considering most people drink water from the river (dirty water, etc.), the plague is going to be widespread.

No, my argument is that plot points are plot points and easter eggs are easter eggs (until the company who buys out your franchise goes overboard with the lore)
>>
>>344086096
Right, and what constitutes an easter egg?

Would you say a short, obviously campy DLC meant to be seen as a joke is lore or easter egg? What about a quest that has you dealing with Monty Python characters? What about a quest that has you deal with Indiana Jones? Where's the line drawn?

While you sit there trying to parse through which was Bethesda and not and claim those aren't okay while the others are, reflect on your double standards.

What I'm saying is, the aliens in the original fallouts are clearly easter eggs along with Dr. Who, Godzilla and everything else.

My problem is that Bethesda took a clear easter egg, made full fledged DLC of said easter egg and to top it all off implies aliens caused the Great War totally destroying philosophy and the motto of the series "War never changes."

And that DLC was campy and full of jokes and struck the majority of the gaming community as what it was intended as - an expansion of that easter egg joke.

But not you and the retards on /v/. Nope, it became deepest lore and Bethesda clearly meant for it to replace all Fallout history and lore to that point.

Because Interplay can fuck around and have it not be lore. Obsidian can fuck around and it's not canon. If Bethesda makes some stupid fun shit, it's automatically canon and the first point brought up for how they destroy everything.

Fallout 3 pretty much blew everyone away, it was a new take on the apocalypse, and felt pretty original.

Fallout 4 is a better game, but it doesn't repeat that wow factor, the suprise we got from 3
>>
>>344088880
Because the tone was comedic and light and it was about some random easter egg fluff? Here's a better question for you- why do you want it to be canon so desperately? Outside /v/ I've never heard anyone consider it canon, but here, I've never seen people so desperate for it be canon just so they can be triggered by it.
>>

That's sort of what I figured. It's interesting to see how the internet handles it though.

Most people don't want it to be canon. Since it was never confirmed as canon, happy gamers just assume it's not and write it off as some jokey DLC for fun on the side.

Miserable gamers assume it is canon so they can be miserable and upset. This is largely just /v/.

Bethesda saved the franchise from irrelevancy and atrocious gameplay with boring stories and dialoges. They focused on the important aspects which made the first one absolutely great. NV and 2 are not bad games, but they completely miss the point of the franchise which is why I don't consider them canon.

Solid strawmanning. I know what an easter egg is, my point was that developers could include anything in their games and have it be non-canon. There were whole quests in Fallout 1 and 2 that were non-canon. Weapons, NPCs, locations, etc.

But for some reason, you, the immense faggot that you are, cannot grasp that that could be true of Bethesda too. Every little thing that contradicts established lore, instead of being written off as non-canon, you sperg over and announce that all other games are now non-canon to accommodate the joke.

It has nothing to do with easter eggs and everything to do with you being a crybaby bitch who comes here to be triggered so he can cry and bitch.

The developers don't have to tell anyone with half a brain Godzilla and Dr. Who don't exist in the Fallout lore, no.

Other than the aliens, I think Wild Wasteland did a pretty good job of having wackiness without being too absurd and lore breaking. I wish some of those encounters were in the game without having to waste a trait slot, like The One and Mr. New Vegas' special lines.

>>344093901
The problem is that in the dlc itself it really doesn't play itself for humor. It actually acted pretty damn serious and tried to connect itself to the lore of the rest of the series

But assuming it is noncanon, it still is stupid because even the other non canon easter eggs and shit don't go against the entire series' central theme like this dlc did.

My guess as to what happened is interplay made an easter egg, which was a crashed alien spaceship. Bethesda also made an easter egg which was also a crashed alien spaceship.
