[QUOTE="cobrax25"][QUOTE="Advid-Gamer"] So far, I dont see how NV is any more of a rpg then FO3, am I missing something?Prexxus
Well for starters their is a much heavier emphasis on non-combat skills in New Vegas then there ever was in Fallout 3, which was far to combat focused.
I dont even see why SPECIAL was used for Fallout 3. you couldnt play the game unless you were an action-centric character anyway.
Games that have more focus on combat are "less rpg" then games that aren't? The word RPG seems to get thrown arround alot with people fighting about it all the time. The fact of the matter is Fallout 3 is as much a RPG as Baldurs Gate or Icewind Dale. Final Fantasy III is as much RPG as The Witcher. You can't have a game that is "more RPG" then another, It's a genre not a scale. I was talking about it from a series standpoint. The Fallout series was always known for the vast variety of ways in which it could be played, and Fallout 3 had none of that. Not only that, buts its mechanics were broken. They threw in SPECIAL to make it seem more like Fallout, but SPECIAL was never designed for action games, and so many skills were outright useless. Not to mention the game was fairly shallow.
And thats just the Mechanics. There are also a lot of issues with the writing and story of Fallout 3. You wouldnt have ever known it was a Fallout game if the name hadent been slapped on. The story was very 1 demensional and lacked any sort of morality. It was a very hollywood take on the Fallout series. New Vegas has far more resemblence to the older Fallout games.
