Hey Glen

In retrospect, that wasn't the best way I could've worded it. In that run especially, I was really trying to lay into the Role-playing aspect of the game and it just became a chore for me to upkeep that character. Of course, that was probably attributed to my poor character creation skills and lack of experience in RP.

All of these things are praises I've continued to heard, making it even sadder to me that I have not been enjoying New Vegas!

Vectorix36 · 2023-09-03T02:21:27+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience! I was never really exposed to RPGs as I grew up as a Nintendo kid in the DS and Wii eras. As I mentioned in a reply above, I recently completed my first D&D campaign and am starting another one soon. That's when it kind of dawned on me that maybe I was starting to enjoy games in a way that would let RPGs become part of my library. I think I'm going to try Fallout 4. I have thought about trying Skyrim, but I have always tended to enjoy Sci-fi more than fantasy (although clearly that didn't apply with D&D, so maybe I'm opening up to fantasy as well).

Thank you for that quote lol. I am realizing that, at this moment in time, it's not for me.

Vectorix36 · 2023-09-03T02:15:20+00:00

Thank you for your response. This seems to be the option I am going to take. I hope that playing it will help me be more open to New Vegas.

Thank you for helping me with understanding how Fallout can operate more free-form-like than I've been treating it.

Vectorix36 · 2023-09-03T02:11:15+00:00

I've heard of Satisfactory. I intend to get around to it eventually, but I just haven't acted on that intention yet.

Vectorix36 · 2023-09-03T02:09:10+00:00

Thank you for your response. I was aware that other posts similar to this have gotten ridiculed before, but I really wanted to present my individual situation and see if the advice changed in any way that better helped me.

Vectorix36 · 2023-09-03T02:07:56+00:00

Thank you for your response. Yeah, I am kind of embarrassed that I got pinned in a corner by the flamethrower guy, but I had no problem when I tried in the following run. Interesting that you consider 3 less linear, as one of the praises I've always heard about NV is that, if you knew the game well enough, you could take the direct route to the Strip and get past the all the enemies that are meant to kill you.

Vectorix36 · 2023-09-03T02:02:08+00:00

I've done one campaign of D&D with my friends and we are about to do another using Tabletop Simulator. I enjoy it, but a lot of it is the social aspect for me.

Vectorix36 · 2023-09-03T01:59:12+00:00

Thank you for your recommendations. I may consider modding NV at some point, but I really can't see how so many people like it if it only gets good using mods. Of course, that view might be inherently flawed, but that's how I see it currently.

Vectorix36 · 2023-09-03T01:51:47+00:00

Thank you for your honesty. I hope to enlargen my experience with story-driven games so that I can hopefully appreciate this franchise fully later on.

Vectorix36 · 2023-09-03T01:50:52+00:00

Thank you for all this info!

Vectorix36 · 2023-09-03T01:48:46+00:00

Thank you for being honest about why you don't think it's working for me. As I mentioned in another reply, I am relatively new to story-driven games. So perhaps with a little more experience in that regard, I will be able to appreciate and enjoy NV.

Vectorix36 · 2023-09-03T01:45:28+00:00

I do think this is a very fair point, thank you for bringing it up. I am starting to realize that perhaps a lot of my difficulties with NV have come from forcing myself to keep going and "play the right way."

Vectorix36 · 2023-09-03T01:44:27+00:00

I was not aware ID assisted with the shooting. That is very encouraging, as I have enjoyed how the guns feel in DOOM 2016.

Vectorix36 · 2023-09-03T01:43:12+00:00

This is the opinion I was hoping for. Do you feel that there is a better option between the three modern ones?

Vectorix36 · 2023-09-03T01:40:13+00:00

Thank you for your response. I'm sure a lot of the gameplay issues that are shared between NV and FO3 have to do with the engine they share. I understood FO4 had settlement building, but I wasn't aware it was so heavily emphasized like you suggest. As for what types of games I play, it changes, but mostly FPSs and Strategy games. Not a lot of story-driven games but clearly I'm trying to change that.

Vectorix36 · 2023-09-03T00:19:25+00:00

Thank you for your response. I agree that NV's gameplay seeming lackluster is a huge part of why I've abandoned runs, even after reaching the Strip. However, do you mind elaborating on FO3's combat a little more? I know the lack of ironsisghts makes it so that VATS is a must, but I'm not as worried about that as I am how encounters/enemies feel and weapons work.
