    Well see, that’s a real mistake.

    I can take or leave the others, but New Vegas is special. It has plenty of shortcomings, but it’s still the last good Fallout.

      It’s an FPS. I’m totally uninterested in the gameplay.

      Unless it can be played as a 2D turn-based strategy RPG, I’m not going to bother with it. If they made a Geneforge 6 and made it an FPS, I’d be just as turned off. I feel the same way about Might & Magic vs. Heroes of Might & Magic.

        But fallout has this function for people without hand eye coordination i.e. RPG players where you hit V and then you can pick the body parts to aim at.

          Still no interest. I want to see my avatar, my party, the enemy, and the terrain. I don’t want a ‘first-person’ camera.

            You can use a third person camera but yeah it’s still a different pov.

            Have you tried Underrail ? It’s popular among the old school fallouts fans

            How do you sniper an enemy in 2D turn-baaed RPG? The game map would have to zoom out a lot to get any sneak advantage

            It’s pretty clear after reading enough comments that you just aren’t interested in trying anything outside of your incredibly narrow selection of RTS and point and click games. That being said virtually every point you bring up is a non-issue with New Vegas because of the incredible mod library. Hell, I’m sure there’s a collection of mods to turn New Vegas into a top down RTS if you look. Just wanted to point out that bringing things up point by point will be an eternity because New Vegas is so customizable, you’ll save yourself time by just saying you don’t have interest in trying out new things you aren’t already experienced with.

              The person you’re responding to straight up already said “I’m disinterested in the game because it’s not what I wanted” and you’re out here arguing with them about having an opinion.

              They only continued to explain themselves because people couldn’t accept they had a different opinion.

              MAYBE just MAYBE you ought to allow others to be themselves.

        Have you tried Wasteland? I can’t remember the connection, but some of the developers were involved with or close the production of the first 2 Fallouts.

        These games feel like what Fallout would have become had they not changed to FP.

        I’m playing 3 right now. It’s great.

          The original (eg, DOS era) Wasteland was a heavy inspiration for the Fallout series. New Vegas harkens back to it; the NCR Rangers are inspired by the Desert Rangers.

        There’s a playable version of Fallout Van Buren, the original fallout 3, that has a lot of the same story points, themes, and settings as New Vegas. I also recommend Wasteland 2 and 3 if you haven’t played them

          I had heard the comment that NV is basically Van Buren in 3’s engine, yes. I’m interested.
