Fallout Megathread: Reboot

[Oasis]

I hate people that say Fallout 1 and 2 were better games than Fallout 3 and New Vegas and vice-versa. They aren't even the same type of game, one is a modern day "fps rpg" while the others are isometric turn-based combat (loosely termed) rpgs.

I personally don't like turn-based combat, but I know 1 and 2 weren't stuff. A lot of people liked them.

Is Fallout all about the combat though? :o

You kill stuff to level up, you make money to buy more guns, you collect parts to build better guns to kill more stuff faster, you buy or are given homes so that you can heal and store your guns before you go out and kill more stuff so that you can make more money to buy better guns.

I think Fallout may be oriented towards combat, yes.

Why? I think people are justified to hate Fallout 3. Im ok with the whole "Fps" aspect entering the fallout world, but if you have even played the first 2 fallouts you would know Fallout 3 is complete garbage. As for New Vegas, anyone who hates New Vegas is a fool. New Vegas is Fallout 3 done right. It has a better storyline, better factions, better quests, and makes the game a hell of a lot more challenging than 3.

I must ask, have you even played the original Fallouts?

This.

Fallout 3 is a poor RPG game and the FPS aspect is garbage aswell. The weapon balancing of Fallout 3 is handicapped as some weapons simply overpower others in every aspect. Remember Deathclaws that are extreme dangerous monsters ? In Fallout 3 you can make them patheticly easy to kill by just getting a loving dart gun that INSTANTLY cripples their legs with a single shot. Ontop of that the  dart gun is extremly easy to build and ammo is super common.
In New Vegas Deathclaws are always a danger even on high levels and with the best gear.

I think one of my least favourite things, above all else, with Fallout 3 is that the enemies level scales with you.
Scaling enemies is an awful design decision and Bethesda needs to stop.

Anyone remember the drug Jet? The guy who invented died from a stabbing in the Den and the drug was quickly forgotten, so why is it on th east coast?

That doesn't have the same effect as the dart gun in F3. Also if you don't manage to kill Deathclaws with the ratslayer until they are in close combat range you are dead - especially in hardcore mode.
Try to kill the Legendary Deathclaw without stealth boys and only with the ratslayer.
If you would have F3's handicapped dart gun then that would be hilariously easy.

The dart gun is one of many reasons why I don't like F3 and prefer Fallout NV

[Stick Man]

I personally like Fallout 3 because I can literally kill everybody in Megaton in less that 2 minutes on level 14, on Normal mode.

But besides that, yeah, it pretty much sucks compared to New Vegas and the other Fallout games.

The mining gully deathclaws are easy to kill
all you have to do is jump up a mountain at the opening until you're unreachable
