    I was about to explain your own lame joke to you, and then I realized what I was doing wrong.

          I'm not even sure where to begin with all those mods. It's never quite clear how to install them, since most of em require different install methods and all that.

          not so mod-friendly imo :/

            hm? Download FOMM and use that to manage your mods. everything .fomod you open directly with fomm and the rest goes into the data folder, and you activate it in fomm.

              I heard FO3 was basically an FPS with Fallout elements. Is New Vegas any closer to the original, or is it just a return to the old setting with the same FPS game?

                FO3 is more like Oblivion with guns than it is an FPS with Fallout elements. Have you played Oblivion or any Elder Scrolls game?

                  Nope. I generally don't play a lot of PC games, or didn't until relatively recently. Mostly because, growing up, I never had a PC with the power to handle much more than Oregon Trail.

                    Personally I prefer them to the older Fallout style. Playing Fallout 1 or 2 after playing 3 and NV feels like a huge step back. Combat is slower and much more dependent on RNG, skills aren't as well balanced in usefulness, exploring towns and doing role playing is frustrated by the fact that there are only a half dozen character models, and so forth. Uptight old farts like to bash on 3 and NV by calling them FPSs, but I honestly think that they are better RPGs than the original two games. Vanilla New Vegas is better than 3, but 3 has a huge library of well developed mods, and a couple DLC that are actually worth getting (Broken Steel and Point Lookout). If you prefer fantasy genre, check out Oblivion or Morrowind first. They'll give you a good idea of what the new Fallout is like.

                      Yeah, I also think the current first person view is really great for immersion as well. I still remember the first time I got out of the vault and saw the Capital Wasteland...

                        I'm not much for fantasy in general. I was drawn to Fallout by the absence of elves, orcs, and other recycled Tolkien. Maybe I will get New Vegas.
