I'm still thinking of Realms of Arkania 3: Shadows Over Riva as the best RPG ever made, but I've never been able to return to it, since I completed it in the late 90's. It's so old, so clunky, so hostile towards all forms of user friendly design. Just creating your 6 character team before you start the game takes a couple hours if you wanna do it right...

The main story was.. let's say, lacking. But the world, exploration - that was awesome.
NV had an amazing story and freedom, and the world was also great. It was a better game of the 2. It also fixed a lot of the technical issues in 3, added some great mechanics. But both were very fun, though if I had to choose I'd say NV was better. Even if only because of Fisto :P
And then there is fallout 4, hated by many and not without reason. It's a very mediocre rpg, if it can even be called a rpg .. but it's a great open world shooter, if you're into it. And again, while the main story is cr4p, there are significantly better stories in the game.

The thing I always found hilarious about blowing up megaton is when that lady turns into a ghoul and she still acts as if the world is still under control and not completely blown away by atomic bombs. Her attitude as a ghoul is hilarious and funny.

As much as I like NV, I feel like the path to success was much more linear than Fallout 3. Not to say I didn't explore as much as I could, but it didn't feel as fun running up to an abandoned building as it would in Fallout 3. Could easily just be due to the setting since I have a soft spot for a post apocalyptic Washington DC. And I mean c'mon, finding the White House in Fallout 3 was one of the best experiences I've ever had.

I wouldn't really go as far to say Fallout 4 fits into the category of a traditional Fallout RPG. It did a lot of things great, especially the gunplay. But I think they tried to do more than they could chew instead of just sticking with what they know.

Now, with Fallout 76 on the horizon, I'm very much looking forward to what will happen. The idea of people fighting each other seems really cool and I hope it's done in a way that makes Fallout shine like it should.

New Vegas was definitely one of those games I got addicted too and played all day until I beat it. Couldn't get enough of it. Fallout 3 on the other hand I played after New Vegas and realized it's less buggy and the feel and look of the game is so much better. Also got addicted to it for weeks. Then Fallout 4 came out and it's obviously the best looking Fallout so therefore New Vegas is proudly at the bottom of those two games. Still a good game though let's not get that twisted.

And I don't main Widowmaker anymore. That goes to Pharah now.

Thank you Todd Howard for introducing the fact that Fallout 76 will be a prequel to the entire series. YES!! Exactly what I was hoping for tbh.

It didn't look as bad as I feared it would, but...
supermutants ? God damned supermutants ? The "created 200 or so years later in California" supermutants ?
Makes me a sad panda a bit.

That is true. I'm cautiously optimistic because the game looks incredible and they say it's 4x bigger than Fallout 4. Could be anything in that regard. However, I'm not opposed to getting 3 other people from here and playing as a squad when the game comes out. That could potentially be a **** ton of fun.

pros: co-op, finally!!!!

cons: pretty much everything else i saw. it just looks like they’re expanding on the worst game in the series.

The engine they're using seems to just be an upgrade from Fallout 4, however I did like the fact that it's placed in West Virginia, AND it looks like you'll be able to explore the Washington DC Mall again. Fallout 3 being my favorite game of all time, I am very excited about this.

i will buy it when it comes out, but i’m skeptical of it’s quality. fingers crossed we get a good one. i hated the settlement building aspect of 4 so putting more emphasis on it is really a let down.

I think it's more so meant to encourage multiplayer building so you don't have to do it all yourself. Seems really neat to me but I didn't hate the building in Fallout 4. I do know that I'll be doing it solo and coop. Will be interesting to see how coop works.
