And I felt NV was a far superior game to Fallout 3 AND Skyrim. So much better written, so much more interesting in terms of quests, factions and characters, just an all around incredible game.
Damn straight. Skyrim was still a fun game, but as people say it was as wide as an ocean but deep as a puddle. The quests suuuuck, the factions were frankly dull, there was no-one interesting in the entire game and it just generally wasn't as good as NV. In the end I played a lot of Skyrim because there was a lot to do. But I played a lot of New Vegas because there was a lot I wanted to do. Beyond just completing quests for completions sake.
Though I will say that FO3 had some awesome atmosphere. God, remember the Dunwich Building? Fuuuuuck! And the beginning section was one of the best I've ever played. And then that first time you step into the Wasteland was so cool and had real impact. Definitely a good game. Its just that ultimately I didn't give a shit about anyone or anything in the entire game. Other than the dog, which lets be fair, its impossible not to get emotionally attached to dogs in games. >_<
Also I made an Abe Lincoln character in FO3 and ran around killing slavers with his hat and rifle which was pretty epic I must say.

FO3 really gave me no reason to have bonds with anyone but Dad, and that's it. Meanwhile, NV gives me all these people trying to make it, with dynamic personalities and social push-and-pull going on, etc. It was a well made game. I'm not saying Bethesda will make junk, but Obsidian ought to have exclusive rights to the writing at least.
Oh yeah, the Abe Lincoln repeater...dat accuracy. That was my favorite weapon in that game, by far. To be able to shoot where you aim seems like a no-brainer, right? WRONG! Fallout games like to add a dice-roll accuracy percentage to where you aim.
That's also why the YCS/186 was my favorite weapon in New Vegas: very powerful and very accurate...but still not spot on like Abe's repeater.
I hope the next game has a gun that has no spread (with the proper skill point investments (such as at least 75 points into guns)).
Its excellent writing? Its engaging characters? Dragons? The deep themes? The well-designed quests? The interesting factions? The amazing gameplay? Dragons?
