Meanwhile my lonely ass been sitting over here absolutely loathing Fallout: New Vegas since its release. I did not like that game. I probably would today if I got over myself and tried playing it again.

    I tried to play it but it’s coded so fucking poorly that it would regularly crash and I also got bug really early on that meant I could never interact with this one NPC, and that bug is apparently in the bone-stock, unmodded game!

    Bethesda just makes dogshit products and it’s a shame when the story seems interesting but, like, I have better things to do then have my mediocre game crash again.

      Yeah, Bethesda said “you guys only need 18 months to make this game, right?” and Obsidian leadership said, “Yep.”

      Try the Viva New Vegas modlist sometime if ever you feel inclined. Pretty sure there’s a Wabbajack installer (one click install). I still think New Vegas is phenomenal, even with the bugs, and I suffered through about 700 hours of constant crashing on PS3.

      I recognize, though, that most people aren’t so head over heels for the game that they won’t suffer to experience it, nor will they take the time to mod it. But man, it really is worth even playing on vanilla.
