It's... odd

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.
Fallout 3 is a post apocalyptic adventure game. New Vegas is a post post apocalyptic role playing game. I enjoyed the hell out of them both but largely for different reasons.
I enjoyed New Vegas, I started on FO4 and it feels a bit meh i have'nt reached that far yet, maybe I should give FO3 a spin?
Fallout 4 is the worse Fallout 3, imo.
The shooter gameplay is definitely better in 4, the crafting system is pretty neat too. The story is like a weird reversal of the Fallout 3 story, with stakes that don't feel as real as Fallout 3.
None of that matters, though. It's a Bethesda game, and people don't really play those for the main story. Here's what really matters. The world of Fallout 3 is so dense, the side quests so memorable, that if you're the type of player who loves seeing what's over that next hill I think it would be a disservice to NOT recommend Fallout 3 to you.
Depends what you're looking for, don't play FO3 if you want a great main story, if you're going in for the exploration and side quests, it's a lot of fun with some great things to find.
