New Vegas is better in every way
This is the first time I’ve read this on the entire internet.
I just couldn’t figure out what to do or where to go. I also couldn’t stand the fighting. I grew up on Doom, Duke Nukem, Wolfenstein, and later Goldeneye, so I prefer the point and shoot types.
Fallout 3 is an RPG that looks like an FPS. If you go in expecting expecting Doom-like play mechanics, you’re bound to be disappointed. It rewards exploration and doesn’t do much to push you in any particular direction; if you talk to NPCs and follow their hints, getting through the main storyline shouldn’t be much of a problem, but “finishing” the game isn’t necessarily the point and is entirely optional. I spent most of my time exploring the wasteland and only wrapped up the main quest when I finally got tired of playing.
