I wish I had played FO1/2 back in the day, but I never heard of them then. And now I just don't think I can get over the graphics; I loved how FO3/NV was FPS + RPG.
Complete opposite of you. Thought three was alright but New Vegas was amazing. Why would I want to chase down my deadbeat dad? I will happily chase down the asshat that shot me though. 3 was a bit too empty and bland (only had 20 sidequests). I preferred the western frontier feel to NV, it's closer to the originals.
Maaaan people are too spoiled by graphics today haha.
Yeah after my 2nd playthrough of F3 I noticed how bland it was. Still a good game, but compared to the other games in the series, it's the weakest I think. I'd probably put F1 as my favorite, then New Vegas, then F2, and finally F3.
Its not just the graphics. the first person aspect made me really feel like I was wondering around the wasteland. the overhead grid style I don't think would be as immersive to me. I still might pick them up on steam at some point though.
I never played the first two, but love both 3 and NV. NV did have a slightly different feel, but I chalk that up to being an east coast commonwealth instead of west, and also more densely populated. I mean La Vega and Philly have completely different vibes IRL.
for me its not even the graphics of FO1 or 2, it's the isometric view. Those games give me a headache by design.
All the bad things you hear are from butthurt NV or FO1/FO2 fans. Admittedly, I started out on FO3, then went to NV, then tactics, and so forth. So what FO3 wasn't as comical or bare as the desert, it was a good game on its own, and I loved playing it. What I'm really concerned about with Bethesda moving forward is if they intentionally make their games buggy or lacking to incentivize a new paid mods program. Valve shut it down with Skyrim (co-conspirators), but it's only a matter of time before they get greedy again.
Though I didn't like skyrim as much as Oblivion or FO3, the game was much improved from a technical world building perspective, it was a bit more shallow in RPGness compared to their past games, but I think apart from that it shows that they're very capable of learning from their past games and improving upon their style of rpg.
Who gets their mods from steam anyway?
The Nexus sites are where its at, and you will never have to pay for anything there. (and I agree, FO3 was a good game in its own right, regardless of what some of the fans think of it compared to the other FO games)I don't get mods through Steam either, unless they're a Civilization 5 mod. The point is, is that the most effective and useful mods could go for pay even with the Nexus mod site offering free ones, they might not be up to par, and the system would be abused. These are tough decisions.Who gets their mods from steam anyway?
It's all up to the mod creators really, and many of them are strongly against paid mods. Honestly I don't think the system will ever be implemented in the same way as it was before, practically every bethesda game mod uses scripts or textures or something from another modder, and many of them use sound clips or the likeness of copyrighted characters, because they are non-profit so it doesn't matter. If they do set up a paid mods system that lasts more than like 3 days then it will have to be very restricted. I am biased when I say nexus provides the most quality mods for bethesda games, but it is also definitely true, haha. So I wouldn't be too concerned about it. I would laugh if bethesda ever monetized those weird sex mods though.
You say it's shallow in RPGness but then say it shows improvement in the style of RPG...I will say this about Skyrim. The game is definitely playable with a hundred mods installed -- even if for a short while.
