Today I fired up new vegas since my titty mod was fuckin up the game, I decided to see maybe if it would work - I got ENB working with 1920x1080 in new vegas and all of the colors were super bright butI was like ok ... heres mys tory

I put on the "metal armor" on my wasteland waifu, equipped the only shotgun I had after punching some brahmins and having to reload. I then started the arduous trek from goodsrpings to primm and some guy was like

HEY, can you help me? as I loaded up VATS. HE was bitching about something, and all I said to him was "Sorry, I Got my own problems" GOODBYE and he was like "I Really hope that my girlfrien..." but it was too late, VATS had a 98% critical chance on his head. Like a beautiful hummingbird in flight all of the sounds around medisappeared as his head exploded i nto a fine mist and his body crumpled up before me.

Good I thought. gently caress him I thought.

I moved on, there has to be more people to kill I thought. Some "Posh gangers" or something that had chibi faces had giant tits stretching to the horizon as I thought I was hallucinating because there is SOMETHING REAL wrong with my inztallation of the game, all of the textures and models pop in and out and a huge blue light shows up (If you dont believe me I will fraps this because its kinda funny) ... so I see these two girls throwing bottles or grenades at me? Well, time to die I think. I line up some shotgun blasts and watch their titties stretching to the horizon collapse and coalesce into more halluninogenic colors.

Ah, Primm. That was a long trek! At least 2 or 3 minutes in a "running animation", another town to unleash my hell. I see a guard, he tells me to go somewhere else? No, not today fucker. I kill him and his body starts spinning out of control and other guards shoot me and I die. as I fall to the ground I decide thats enough fun for one day. This was my new vegas experience. Now I see why people like Fallout. This will be a memory that will never die in my eyes but it wasnt the jankiness of bethesda, it was the jankiness of my 100+ mods that didn't want to play together and they created a wonderful short lived experience.

Reminder: The Fallout 3 main quest had 14 total steps, 3 of which were the prologue. There were 17 sidequests, and 22 unmarked quests. With the DLC there are 33 total marked and unmarked quests for a grand total of 86 quests total.
In New Vegas the main quest had anywhere from 9 to 14 steps depending on which of the four paths you followed for a total of 30 steps. There were 81 sidequests, and 81 unmarked quests. With the DLC there are 62 total marked and unmarked quests for a grand total of 254 quests. Obviously there are mutually exclusive quests and quests that are just other quests but slightly different, but even taking that into account there is a clear difference in content. Fallout 3 has little to no actual content, people who say that it has a great world to explore only mean the quirky little setups that are placed everywhere because there is nothing to actually do.

Fallout 3 also had 12 pistols, 15 rifles, 5 shotguns, 2 SMGs, 17 heavy weapons, 14 energy pistols, 10 energy rifles, 10 explosives, 44 melee weapons, and 8 unarmed weapons for a total of 137 weapons of which a large amount are "unique" weapons which look the same but have different stats.
New Vegas had 18 pistols, 25 rifles, 9 shotguns, 8 SMGs, 5 heavy guns, 13 energy pistols, 15 energy rifles, 12 energy heavy weapons, 40 explosive weapons, 60 melee weapons, and 33 unarmed weapons for a total of 238 weapons almost all of which have if not unique models then at least unique textures.

Not saying that I think Fallout 4 is going to go back to Fallout 3 levels of sparseness, Skyrim is a pretty good indication that they know how to pack games full of content. Just a reminder that Fallout 3 was not a very big game at all and that there are reasons why New Vegas is considered so good in comparison by a lot of people and that there are reasons that Bethesda should be taking lessons from New Vegas instead of doing Fallout 3X2.

Even though I'm going to watch it later, how's the map look? So far I've only really seen that one square block where the power armor fight happens and the initial starting area.

ugh it breaks the vid.me limit, gently caress it

Anyway it looks not very dense with content all around from the brief look at the map the leaker gives.




Also outside the urban areas the game is gonna look really really brown and grey all the time
