      Fallout 3 has about 15 side quests and a good chunk of them are just "collect these music books" or "collect these Abraham Lincoln belongings" or "collect these special nuka cola bottles" etc.

      Obviously New Vegas also has a lot of fetch quests too but it also has more than double the number of total quests

      Side quests are the one thing New Vegas definitively does better than 3.
      By splitting up the factions four ways the main questline suffers.

      Side quest are genuinely not all that memorable in New Vegas with the odd exception here and there, but NV has consistently good writing so it doesn't always feel like it matters as much.

      If it's a contest of which game features the best sidequests then NV wins, but overall 3 has much more consistent ones even if the writing is weaker. They're just more interesting, NV has sidequests that are literally over in less than a minute, where nothing happens at all, you just walk to a place and talk to a character. 3 has zero of those types of quests, every side quest in that game is more involved than that

        But NV has many memorable side quests, there is Restoring Hope, Guess Who I saw today, Aba Daba Honeymoon, Three Card Bounty, Bitter Springs Infirmary Blues, Beyond the Beef, I Put A Spell On You, Bleed Me Dry, Bye Bye My Love, and G.I. Blues just to name a few.

            They did the same bullshit in fallout 4 with the power armor, they gave you a power armour at the start of the game so people playing the demo in e3 would go "wow this is so cool, now I am big robot man".

      STRONGLY disagree. The factions are what make New Vegas so compelling. Every faction is tied to the main quest and thus doing faction quests feels more rewarding. It's a great marriage between main quest and side quest and makes more of the world feel relevant, rather than just a small linear story path.

      I love the atmosphere and story of Dead Money, but playing it was kind of miserable because I had put no points into melee/unarmed. But it's definitely great.
      Honest Hearts I thought was weak, felt unfinished and rushed, nice environments but thats it. Hated Lonesome Road, again cool environments but I hated the story and the linear levels are boring.

      Old World Blues I'm mixed on, I liked it but also felt tedious in spots. Overall its fun, Ganker definitely hates this one the most because of the humor but I didn't mind it.

          Don't worry about skills so much. There's actually plenty of guns to find if you pay attention (and especially if you've got good lockpicking), and the enemies, while intimidating, are not fast, so you're not going to get locked out of anything by enemies being too strong.

          I just played through it for the first time
          No spoilers, but basically the issue is that you lose all your guns and can only use what you find in the area. Also, the enemies have a special rule for how they're best killed, which biases melee
          It's fine if you explore and find guns, and you'll figure out the best way to kill them using your guns and the melee weapons you scavenge
          I did it without any points in melee or unarmed

            yeah, I played fallout 3 after nv (because they took a fricking decade to fix a single bug), and it was a genuinely worse experience.

            I used to idolize fallout 3 before I got to play it, I saw gameplay as a kid and i was forever changed, I remember being so excited for fallout 4 despite having never played a single other fallout before.
            And then, more than 10 years later, I finally could play Fallout 3
            ...calling it underwhelming doesn't make it justice.
            It was so bland, so repetitive, the gunplay was bad in ways I didn't think possible, I accidentally managed to tumble into my dad and skip like half the game, the companions where just something to take bullets for you, there only black and white decisions.
            It wasn't really bad, but saying that it's better than New Vegas is a straight lie.

            The only fun I had was dragging Deputy Weld's head across the map so he could greet to Megaton each time I entered my suite at Tenpenny Tower.
            That and talking to Three Dogs while drugged (Screenshot).
