I'm building my character primarily stealthy and with points in explosives because I like one shotting enemies, the sadistic slowmo animations after you line up a rifle with the back of someones head, feels much more real than firing 10 10mm shots into something

That’s my problem in games this big too. I always start out really optimistic that I’m gonna 100% the game and do every sidequest...then i get burnt out and never finish it

I used to think open world games were by far the best but now I’m an adult with money and less free time I’ve grown to really appreciate a good linear experience that doesn’t throw 8,000,000 optional things to do at you

^I kind of fall in that same spot but I still love well done open world games. A lot of them can be monotonous and boring. But I also do love a linear experience just as much.

I would say that both Fallouts came out at the best time. Decent enough graphics for the time and good stories. They've definitely stood the test of time though graphically it does show age.

I have no issues playing on pc. I've played all of them on pc.

I always thought that was normal. Feels natural to me but I've never played the console versions so.

Fair nuf. I guess I don't really know any different since I'm strictly PC. I'm just used to it I guess.

That's one of my favorite things about New Vegas. The Kings. I love how they will have an Elvis impersonator on stage while the others watch. Plus it's just generally funny to see all of them.

the hardcore mode restrictions of having to eat, drink, and sleep aren't too bad because I just buy all the water wherever I go so I'm always stocked

but having to see a doctor if you get crippled instead of regenerating limbs in your sleep is a legit hassle

Iirc, you can just use doctor bags and hydra to fix up crippled limbs.

Kill dem raiders that hang out around westside. Sell their guns and armor ****, and keep all those sweet, sweet drugs for yourself. Don't be afraid to become an addict. All the cool wasters are doing it.

Seriously, drugs are amazing.

Deathclaw? Suck up some jet and inject a needle of psycho into your balls, and then cheese that ****er with a million VATS shots straight to his deathcock.

Both your legs turned into stroganov by a landmine? Pop a hydra, and scuttle around on your bloody stumps like you've got shiny new cheetah feet.

Burdened with too much intelligence? Get ****faced on booze and master the art of the low int response.

Raul the Ghoul silently judging you as you drunkenly stumble into things? Eat a fixer and show that bitch how good you clean up.

Locked out of a cool quest path or dialogue branch 'cause your intelligence and charisma are too low? Chew some mentats and make all those lady raiders sploosh.
