Nerd alert. I always found Fallout more fun. Sneaking around and using the bow and arrow is pretty fun, but swords and such are just lame. Give me a gun.
I loved Oblivion. Played Skyrim but didn't spend nearly as much time on it. It just got boring, so much so that I had to come back to it months later just to beat it. I enjoyed Witcher 3 infinitely more than Skyrim.
Wow wtf I already beat FO3. I haven't started any of the DLC though. I did all the side quests that I came across but I'm sure I missed a ton.
Lol - just picked up the explorer perk and I didn't even visit half the places of interest.... Literally none in the northeast and missed so many in the city. This might take awhile.
New Vegas has been pretty fun so far, but it's definitely different. I agree that it feels a lot less desolate. I haven't been nearly as impelled to explore as I felt in 3. Story isn't as interesting to me either, but I've barely started it, to be fair.
I felt like I liked all the side quests and stories a lot better in NV. Main story I liked FO3 best. Just finished 1 of the DLC. After I finished all 5 and explore most of the areas I'll start NV and hit up the DLC and explore since I didn't do that too much originally. Thinking about doing a Skyrim on Xbox playthrough soon too. And Oblivion. Waiting for BWC on xb1 for that though. I normally play Bethseda games on PC - I'm not sure which I prefer to play them on since I'm not a heavy modder... Maybe will sometimes use graphics mod or a patch fix but that's about it.
I much preferred FO3's economy to that of NV. In FO3, there were times in the game, especially at the beginning, where supplies were very thin. I remember running out of ammo at times and having to switch to a melee weapon until I found more. Money was also hard to come by for a good portion of the game. In NV, i've never had ammo shortages, nor have I ever struggled with money. I've been able to buy pretty much whatever I want, and then if I get low, I just go to a casino and win more. I much preferred the desparation feel of FO3.
Blackjack and then switch to slots a little before I hit my limit to maximize my profit. They're all a joke though. I hit on 16 and 17 every single time and bust maybe 1 out of every 10 tries. Hell, I hit on 18 quite a bit and still don't bust very often. Idk how many times I've been dealt 5-6 and flipped a face card on my first hit. It's gotta be above 80%.
