    This has been Bethesda games forever, we always get this same conversation. And I can’t possibly imagine why.

      New Vegas was basically a fan mod, Bethesda only provided the engine. Just like a mod

        Is the gameplay the appeal of New Vegas? It’s my favourite of the Fallout franchise because I like the writing, and also I can kill almost anyone but somehow the story will find a way to go forward.

        God I would kill (every NPC) for an Obsidian-made Skyrim.

          Tbh Outer Worlds is kinda a kill-every-NPC Starfield.

          Also there’s not really a gameplay appeal of FO:NV (or FO3). 2008 is really where games got shooting mechanics down and Bethesda’s engine didn’t really get there until 2015. That’s why VATS exists.

          FO was a very TTRPG-like (CRPG) game for a long time so the focus wasnt on gameplay.
