Yes, it has a strong female girl boss, an over representation of POCs, and most of the white men are inept, stupid, and subordinate. But we won't call it woke, because we call everything woke.

I wanted to play new Vegas first. Or at least that’s the one I’m told to start with. I’ve heard it was bland but what you describe is pretty much what I expect from any current year western show/movie
I started with Fallout 3. Since that's my first I'm partial to it. I know NV is the chic choice for the Fallout series, but 3 aint bad
I think 3 is made worse in retrospect when you see what Bethesda did with 4 and 76. If you never play those it’s much better.
Cool. I’ve been told since I’m a Skyrim addict that fallout has similar gameplay so I should try it out
I'd disagree, que sera sera. I recall a lot of discussions about glitches and the ending being silly because one of your companions could survive the ending, with no problems
FO3 is bad, particularly if you'd gotten to experience the much better dialogue and harshness of the first two games to temper your expectations.
And yeah, the ending is stupid.
You: Hey, you're immune to radiation, can you go push that button so I don't have to die?
"I’m sorry, my companion, but no. We all have our own destinies, and yours culminates here. I would not rob you of that." - Literal quote from the game
Fuck you, Todd.
I'm the oddity yet again in that I liked 3 and maybe even 4 more than NV. 4's story kinda sucks though. A ton of it's criticism is legit, but I still liked the weapon crafting and gunplay better. Don't get me wrong I very much enjoyed New Vegas but I'd echo the bland.
A lot of it depends on what you're playing for. If it's a more detailed RPG with stats and factions and all of that, then New Vegas easily fits that the best. If it's a little more of an action shooter than 4. 3 is still my favorite if not for anything but wiping out the commies with Liberty Prime.
I'm sure my statement will be unpopular. Liking anything but New Vegas as the best is typically met with the same reaction as if I were grooming kids to be trannies.
Yeah, I think it goes back to when I was still a Reddit user ages ago on normie gaming discussions. It seemed New Vegas as the best Fallout, Souls(like) games are far and away the best genre, and The Last of Us is the greatest game ever were three of the opinions you must agree with if not wanting to get railroaded. Everyone here is smarter and capable of opinion it seems.
People who play New Vegas don't actually play it. More so than most games. They play a heavily modded version (which removes all the bugs that make it literally unplayable half the time) and cannot remember the vanilla experience.
So its one of those sacred cows were they have distorted their own view based on memes and curtailed experiences until it doesn't make sense to anyone outside it.
I mean... it's certainly a unique take. 3 and NV are basically the same game, mechanics wise, so the fact that you prefer 3 over NV... well, uh, knock yourself out, I guess. I'm not one to deny a man his big, stompy robots.
Yeah they are the same for the most part to play. I think as someone else mentioned I did like the ruined DC a lot too. If I recall the first playthrough of NV I hit a game breaking bug and had to start over, so bad luck played part.
I do actually like them both though. I may replay both of them again over the next 12 months, maybe my idea will change.
I liked 3 more than NV too. I don't play RPGs for the role playing though. I play them to minmax the shit out of my character and become an unstoppable god.
Haha yeah, I almost posted that sentiment on the thread about escapism vs woke games. I like to be a total badass in games. Even ones that border on realistic.
The plot for FO 3 is patent nonsense.
You can literally make a water filter out of logs and sand. Radioactive materials are either heavy as fuck (comparable to lead) or short-lived.
Forcing the main character to kill themselves was just stupid.
I guess you just didn't understand anything about radioactive particulates and you just didn't give a fuck?
Correct.
I can experience realism in the world away from games. I allow games to let me carry a backpack full of weapons in such a way that is not humanly possible, crash a car without myself or the car taking damage, and fly around unrealistically in the air with flailing swords chopping enemies in ways that would never make sense. I'm not going to get irritated over some water purification.
Whereas I don't want to be treated like a mouth-breathing moron by someone who honestly, genuinely thinks that their audience is too stupid to notice, and can not be bothered to write something better.
I could be one drink short of black-out drunk and write a better main plot on a napkin than this.
The concept of Fallout and Fallout 2 was to bring the experience of TableTop RPGs to a computer game. Fallout 3 was made for a Console 'Tard audience who was almost too stupid to breathe and certainly too stupid to read any dialog. As a result it made huge amounts of money.
Let me guess. The first time you played Fallout 3 was on an X-Box? That was your first experience with the Fallout franchise? Am I close?
