After yoga's playthrough of Oblivion as I heared it was developed the same way by the same company as that, I considered trying F:NV, so made some background research if it would be good for me or not.


Well, it turned out not, but let me tell how I see this program.

First, it looks like the revived canceled original third rpg-instalment of the Fallout series, VanBurden with different engine. Heck, Fallout3 didn't even had Traits!
The concept sounded nice evolvement of the earlier parts. In F1 you started in huts with almost nothing, in F2 you had farming towns, and in F:T you started to rebuild civilisation. So for F3:New Vegas a welbuilt city is nice, being a commoner a plus. And the worldmap is simply amasing. That's why I considered despite it is an FPS, and I usually get serious headache from FPSs as they ALL use the same Unreal-based engine, which frequency causes me nauseous.
And the "ultimate edition" (contains all expansions) is out for a reasonable price.

It turned out it is full of gamebreaking glitches and bugs - you'd think the creators of Oblivion would learn from their mistakes over time. Seems they don't. And I don't want to play a game I have to plan forward based on bugs too.

It is also like Myst: nice but empty giant areas. And as that wasn't a real game, there goes my opinion.

I've also seen the fighting sequences. Man, I don't want reality in computer games! I don't want to remember my sorroundings and deal with running things towards me! I want to blast their head off, and that's the end of it!
I especially not want Doom3, where those stupid critters jumped ou from close range all the time. And they do it here again! Maybe if from the start I'd have a silly big gun what only Arnold Schwarzenegger can wield and even him only in his movies with ammo continuously at my disposal this wouldn't be that much of a problem maybe, but it is again the same: I don't want reality in a computergame, I want to blast their head off!

Oh, it also uses the inventory-sytem from Ultima VIII, what means tonns of stuff, no knowledge what will be needed, very limited carrying capacity. I've quit Ultima Pagan after 5 minutes 'cause of that.
