New Vegas is just okay
A lot of this has to do with that it is built on 3's engine which is butt fucking ugly and does not play well whatsoever. But even then, idk. I was not engaged with the story and characters whatsoever and it lost my interest really quick
Obsidian's best writing is in KOTOR2 but nobody much talks about it over New Vegas because nobody goes back to play it with the restored content mod
@terezi I actually agree though. As much as I love NV its just a shadow of Fallout 2 and the potential of Van 8uren
@araneaserket I don't think I can play 1 and 2 nowadays but I absolutely appreciate it and what it was doing back in the day
@terezi i liked fallout 3.

not better than new vegas (they're about the same to me tbh) but i did like fallout 3.
@terezi Bethesda can't keep shambling on that engine and frankly, can't rely on the communities good will for how buggy their games are in general. 76 shows that without mods to make their games functional for an extended period of its lifespan, people started getting very frustrated with Bethesda's sloppy code.
@oct2pus I thought they improved it with Skyrim and 4 but. Yeah. They really need a new engine holy shit
@terezi they did but also they're still bethesda and that engine is still shambling along.

in fallout 4 the deathclaws still have a skeleton and animations originally built for oblivion. thats a decade old animation set.
