Chris Avellone: This is true. One of the Elder Scrolls proposals (which I pitched) was intended to serve the same function as FNV did between F3 and F4 to provide more adventures in the in the setting - eviltoast

    Maybe compared to the stuff that came after it.

    I wouldn’t describe FNV as being miles better than FO3. If anything I see just as many that prefer one as the other. And I don’t think they’re upset with the comparative success Skyrim has had.

      It we’re judging them as RPGs then I think it is absolutely fair to say New Vegas is miles better. If we’re judging writing and world building likewise.

      I think an argument could be made for Fallout 3 having more interesting environments to aimlessly roam due to the signature Bethesda world design and clutter. But that’s more or less it, in my opinion.

      Whether that makes it a better game is up to individual preferences. I definitely have heard of people who prefer FO3, but I also know the modding scene of New Vegas is magnitudes stronger (though that doesn’t necessarily have to mean it’s the more popular game, granted).

      I mean, you’re entitled to your opinion even if it’s absolutely wrong.
