It’s hard to say from such a distance, but it may be that he is good at sex and trustworthy. That’s enough a lot of the time. People make things too complicated.

Can confirm. Source: am short white guy, my ex is a truly statuesque black woman. Only way I know it's not about me is because I don't bother with Fallout past 2.

Well see, that's a real mistake.

I can take or leave the others, but New Vegas is special. It has plenty of shortcomings, but it's still the last good Fallout.

[-] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 24 points 2 days ago

It's an FPS. I'm totally uninterested in the gameplay.

Unless it can be played as a 2D turn-based strategy RPG, I'm not going to bother with it. If they made a Geneforge 6 and made it an FPS, I'd be just as turned off. I feel the same way about Might & Magic vs. Heroes of Might & Magic.

There's a playable version of Fallout Van Buren, the original fallout 3, that has a lot of the same story points, themes, and settings as New Vegas. I also recommend Wasteland 2 and 3 if you haven't played them

I had heard the comment that NV is basically Van Buren in 3's engine, yes. I'm interested.

But fallout has this function for people without hand eye coordination i.e. RPG players where you hit V and then you can pick the body parts to aim at.

Still no interest. I want to see my avatar, my party, the enemy, and the terrain. I don't want a 'first-person' camera.

You can use a third person camera but yeah it's still a different pov.

Have you tried Underrail ? It's popular among the old school fallouts fans

I haven't even heard of it, but I'll check it out!

All the OG fallout fans I know can't stop recommending this game so you'll probably like it

How do you sniper an enemy in 2D turn-baaed RPG? The game map would have to zoom out a lot to get any sneak advantage

By using a sniper rifle and having a range of more hexes than other weapons.
