Never was much discussion of Fallout: New Vegas here.

As anyone who frequented this thread would know, C3PX was pretty excited about FO:NV.

Seems like just about every review I read mentioned Fallout: New Vegas as being better than Fallout 3. Seems most old school FO fans tend to be of the view that Fallout: New Vegas was finally a worthy continuation of the franchise while Fallout 3 was an absolute slap in the face.

Fallout 3 was my first venture into the Fallout universe, and I absolutely loved it from start to finish and through each and every DLC... I have every achievement for it and have wasted an unfortunate portion of my life playing it, and I can still sit down and wander the wasteland and find some small settlement that I have never stumbled across before with an interesting story to tell.

Playing Fallout 3 was a bit like reading a volume of short stories, or watching a serialized television show with unconnected stories.

Seems like I kept hearing how much more vast and deep the FO:NV world was, which left me to anticipate great things. Though now that it is said and done and I have beaten the games storyline and most of the side missions I have been able to stumble across, it all feels very small.

I can't for the life of me figure out why so many people claim it to be a vast improvement over FO3. Is it just because of the whole multiple factions thing? I've played all four factions, and find it kind of dull how closely all four follow each other. Not much variance, they pretty much all ask you to do the exact same things.

Oh well, end verdict for me, FO:NV was fun, but no where near the fun or size of FO3.

As for the Dead Money expansion, not sure if it is worth ten bucks, but I really enjoyed it.
