It's... odd
(lemmy.world)
Meanwhile my lonely ass been sitting over here absolutely loathing Fallout: New Vegas since its release. I did not like that game. I probably would today if I got over myself and tried playing it again.
I tried to play it but it’s coded so fucking poorly that it would regularly crash and I also got bug really early on that meant I could never interact with this one NPC, and that bug is apparently in the bone-stock, unmodded game!
Bethesda just makes dogshit products and it’s a shame when the story seems interesting but, like, I have better things to do then have my mediocre game crash again.
Crashes are all a part of the Bethesda experience, and until you embrace it, you'll never experience the joy their games have to offer lol
bethesda games give all gamers the "oh i walked 30m in game, time to quicksave again" instinct
I'm a simple man. If I see Whiterun, I quicksave.
Yeah, Bethesda said "you guys only need 18 months to make this game, right?" and Obsidian leadership said, "Yep."
Try the Viva New Vegas modlist sometime if ever you feel inclined. Pretty sure there's a Wabbajack installer (one click install). I still think New Vegas is phenomenal, even with the bugs, and I suffered through about 700 hours of constant crashing on PS3.
I recognize, though, that most people aren't so head over heels for the game that they won't suffer to experience it, nor will they take the time to mod it. But man, it really is worth even playing on vanilla.
Nice to see someone else reccomend VNV! There is a Wabbajack installer, but there are some things you still need to do manually too.
It's my favorite way to play New Vegas, though maybe only because I think vanilla is waaaayyyyyy too easy.
