I'm playing Fallout New Vegas. Which is good. The environment isn't as great as FO4, but the game itself? Way way better. I'm actually planning on playing all of the DLC for this one. I haven't done that since Skyrim. I'm also struggling with wine to get FO4 to launch so I can play that after I beat NV.
I played FO4 after binging on NV for a while, and now I can't play 4 anymore. New Vegas to me is just so much more of a fun experience. 4 has more toys but you don't get quite the same amount of mileage out of them as you do from NV. Every piece of NV DLC is gold, enjoy it. I particularly liked Honest Hearts.
FO4 offers extensive weapon and armor customization, damn cool power armor system, good graphics and updates to some gameplay systems. If they port those things to F:NV, I'm going to cream myself.
Bells and whistles I don't use. I'll give you that. DGAF. I don't play Fallout to ogle water textures. The dream would be FO4 appearance with NV playstyle and writing. A bigger, more open world compared to the dinky little sandbox of the Commonwealth. And I'll admit that when I say 'dinky' I really mean 'shallow.' I cared about which faction I chose in NV. I made a POINT to embrace the NCR, even with it's faults, over the Legion. In FO4, I don't really give a damn who I'm fighting, or why.FO4 offers extensive weapon and armor customization,

I threw away a 20 hour save because I'd made some wrong choices near the start of NV. I gave up on FO4 when the main plot point resolved itself before the factions hashed things out. In NV, it's an option to be a faction unto yourself. In FO4, I was more or less limited to amassing a buttload of power armor and pretending. I actually really appreciate that Poweramor isn't everywhere in this game. Seemed like FO4 wouldn't let you visit three locations without tripping over a set.I cared about which faction I chose in NV.
