This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Well see, that's a real mistake.
I can take or leave the others, but New Vegas is special. It has plenty of shortcomings, but it's still the last good Fallout.
It's an FPS. I'm totally uninterested in the gameplay.
Unless it can be played as a 2D turn-based strategy RPG, I'm not going to bother with it. If they made a Geneforge 6 and made it an FPS, I'd be just as turned off. I feel the same way about Might & Magic vs. Heroes of Might & Magic.
Have you tried Wasteland? I can’t remember the connection, but some of the developers were involved with or close the production of the first 2 Fallouts.
These games feel like what Fallout would have become had they not changed to FP.
I’m playing 3 right now. It’s great.
The original (eg, DOS era) Wasteland was a heavy inspiration for the Fallout series. New Vegas harkens back to it; the NCR Rangers are inspired by the Desert Rangers.
