when it comes to fallout nv..... i'd pin most of the love given to it on the silly dialogue options and the amount of ways you can approach some quests. Character wise and look wise its kinda lacking but hey at least the writing is good?
but a good chunk of that is ALSO present in fo3 and a lot of the people who talk about nv as the best game ever made talk about fo3 like its the worst
maybe its just a consequence of me preferring game stories to be passive but somehow enhanced by the mechanics (dont let me infodump about how ff4′s encounter curve mirrors the story and cecil’s personal arc in particular), as opposed to the more active involvement True Western RPGs have
