IMO Fallout 3 owned until New Vegas came along and made it look like poo poo in retrospect. Fallout 4 will probably be a lot of fun to play most of the time, by which I mean when you're not talking to main quest NPCs. If that's not good enough for you then I guess we'll have to agree to disagree but I am certainly looking forward to Fallout 4.

I'm too dumb to tell if a story is good or not so I liked 3 better than NV. I really appreciated the custom weapon parts and iron sights in NV, but it didn't really grip me. Like, I just saw an ending for the first time 3 days ago. I bought it at release but I didn't beat it until just the other day.

E: I have a problem with this kind of game though where it takes me a while to learn how to build a character so I wind up playing a character for 20 - 40 hours before I decide that I don't like it and re-roll. I do this a few times. It burns me out on the game.

hey thanks for a serious answer and not just thinking im being a jerk. I meant in fallout 3 not fallout 4 ... I can see more times of stuff becuase you can bulid a base with robots

Ok, yes you are right, on a PC ... my question was kind of aimed at people on a console, how do you get 1000 hours into a game that effectively doesnt have a new game plus?

with enb and all the mods the PC version will be easy to get hundre3d of hours into and im super excited even though I sound not thrilled about this game, its still going to be cool I just cant wait for the PC mods to fix the dumb stuff like animations / models / skins / bad gameplay mechanics that will more than like ly be prelvant"

So how does a fallout 3 player get 1000 hours out of the game without mods then? I've seen some people who said they played fallout 3 on console for 500+ hours a few times in this thread. I dont have a problem with them I Just want to know, what do you do doesnt the game end its not like there is tons of respawning enemies or armies of dudes to kill what are you doing for 1000 hours? do y ou end up using the same gun for 955 hours? thats what I mean ... like isnt it all just the same after 50 hours

Probably like, 200-300 hours or so vanilla completionist (All quests, all locations, all secrets, all challenges/achievements, etc) then they get bored. Then DLC comes out so they start a new game and do the DLC. Repeat the DLC 2-3 times and you can have 500 hours.

There ARE a lot of respawning enemies in FO3/NV though but people who fast-travel miss a lot of that. In New Vegas when I did an almost-zero Fast Travel run once I pissed off the Legion I was encountering legion assassins quite frequently. Also a lot of the fiends near McCarran respawn a lot. In FO3 you run into a lot of robots/dogs/etc when just roaming cross country and a lot of respawning super mutants if you explore DC a lot.

Still there are people who get 2000+ hours on a save file in FF7, and shoot for absolute max stats + X copies of full master every materia + whatever else. I am not surprised that someone could figure out a way to have 1000 hours of fun in an open-world game like fallout.

In NV I enjoyed filling the entire bathroom and tub in my Novac room with stolen plastic dinosaurs and covering my bed with stacks of pre-war money but I was playing on PS3 so it really started to gently caress up the game. Also moving all of my hoard from Novac to the Lucky 38 was a loving horrible chore.

Cleaning out my hoard when the game became almost completely unplayable thanks to save file bloat was also pretty terrible. Also playing on PS3 in general was really bad but I am still excited to get Fallout 4 soon.

E: here's a tip for anyone playing New Vegas in the year 2k15: don't store your rare Nuka-Colas in the fridge in your Lucky 38 suite, there are a limited number in the game world and your companions will drink them all before you even realize that they eat and drink in their downtime and you have to leave food for them.

If you lost the dog it was probably because you didn't leave enough animal steaks on the floor and he ran away to live with the Kings again (for real)

Thanks. I guess you put it into more perspective. I just go "1000 hours in a fallo ut 3 save?" I guess the new game plus is just being _you_. I didnt think there was that many respawning enemies and thought a lot of quests were just like the area is cleared, but if they respawn I could see why someone might be like "I Guess ill go back through the hospital, I hated that place a lot though it was one of my least favorite areas in fallout 3 besides all of the sewers.

Thanks it means a lot when people seriously respond to me since everone thinks im trolling. I am super excited for this game since I have a 980 ti to play it with and will just slap enb or reshade on and I KNOW it will look beaitufiul eventually and im a huge graphics enthusiast (Try galak-Z wow that game is beautiufl!) I just find it really funny how the series has not been that great since 2 but people act like its so good. I hope fallout 4 is as good as Ive WANTED fallout 3 and 4 to be.

If my new vegas wasn't broken I would probably load it up and give the game a shot since I put ilke 20 hours into installing mods, but never played it since I had a titty mod do a weird thing and like go all the way to the horizon and well the characters look so bad I had to get a better bodies mod. this is behetehsda we're talking about lol
