Maybe he's out there talking to women instead of hanging out on 4chan smoking weed all day...
Strange how far that gets you.

I love my wife but she's totally hypocritical about this. Couldn't care less about any game story I think is deep and engaging, but wants me to know about all about Onyx Storm and Throne of Glass.
Touching grass and speaking to other humans in person
Damn, so it's hopeless then?

Real talk: some of us are just lore junkies.
I mean... c'mon, it's New Vegas! Who wouldn't!
Right. OP is probably confused why noone wants to listen to him talk about Fallout 76.
In my experience: He's emotionally available, interested in her and her experience, actually listening, gentle and honest.
I'm about the fattest, ugliest, loser nerd around and if I can be in a relationship with a succesful, beautiful, adventurous woman, so can anon.
I am sure it isn’t the case. The first part of the last sentence I mean.
Sometimes I hear Kevin Smith talking about himself in front of a crowd, and he immediately describes himself as this fat loser... and I always think bro, you're doing fine - great even - stop putting yourself down in front of others, it makes everyone feel weird.
Ugh, I just had a flashback to middle school, when my very attractive friend (who was already a model) complained that she was ugly because of an itty, bitty little zit she got one day.
Meanwhile I sat there, a relative pizza-face, thinking: Seriously? If you are ugly, what does that make the rest of us?
You're right, but also, they weren't faking it. My wife is gorgeous, but every single day we've been together she's announced how fat and ugly she is (she's neither). It's a deep mental issue and they really believe that shit. Usually it's caused by their parents at a young age. My wife's family is really really gross with young girls. They all start playing in make-up by the age of 2. I've already seen it in her poor niece, calling herself ugly... She's 4 and already has a completely fucked up mentality about beauty and her role in society. It's soul crushing, and I knew it was going to happen the second she was born. I fear for us having a daughter and them doing this to her enough when I'm not around that she is affected the same way. I really hope I have a son for this reason, honestly.
Um, I hate to break it to you, but sons will think the same thing about themselves and simply not mention it. Source: me
Fair point, however the family in question won't be as ignorantly cruel to a son. They'll probably fuck him up in some other ways, but at least not ones that cause him daily constant dread and depression.
Also I hope things get better for your mental state, I'm sure you're far more attractive than you believe, just like my wife and the girl in OP.

Just show the comments please.
It’s hard to say from such a distance, but it may be that he is good at sex and trustworthy. That’s enough a lot of the time. People make things too complicated.
Can confirm. Source: am short white guy, my ex is a truly statuesque black woman. Only way I know it's not about me is because I don't bother with Fallout past 2.
Brother, New Vegas is one of the greatest games ever created. There are probably a hundred hours worth of video essays on YouTube about why this game is a masterpiece. There's a reason it has one of the biggest and still active Nexus Mods page. There's a reason there's an active online multiplayer mod of this game that came out in 2009. It's fucking good.
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.

But fallout has this function for people without hand eye coordination i.e. RPG players where you hit V and then you can pick the body parts to aim at.
Still no interest. I want to see my avatar, my party, the enemy, and the terrain. I don't want a 'first-person' camera.
It's pretty clear after reading enough comments that you just aren't interested in trying anything outside of your incredibly narrow selection of RTS and point and click games. That being said virtually every point you bring up is a non-issue with New Vegas because of the incredible mod library. Hell, I'm sure there's a collection of mods to turn New Vegas into a top down RTS if you look. Just wanted to point out that bringing things up point by point will be an eternity because New Vegas is so customizable, you'll save yourself time by just saying you don't have interest in trying out new things you aren't already experienced with.

You can use a third person camera but yeah it's still a different pov.
Have you tried Underrail ? It's popular among the old school fallouts fans
I haven't even heard of it, but I'll check it out!
All the OG fallout fans I know can't stop recommending this game so you'll probably like it
How do you sniper an enemy in 2D turn-baaed RPG? The game map would have to zoom out a lot to get any sneak advantage
By using a sniper rifle and having a range of more hexes than other weapons.
