I posted this on another sub but thought I would share it here -
NV is superior to 4 and 3 in a few ways -
1.) The variety of weapons, ammo and ammo reloading/customization. Example: you dont simply find 'shotgun shells' you find .20 or .12 gauge. You can also load them with random stuff like legion coins. Adding mods to weapons in NV felt like it actually did something.
2.) THE PLOT. 3 had a good story, and was entertaining. By the time I finished the main plot for 4, which was really just a rehash of 3, I didnt give a fuck about any of the characters and I was mostly ready for the Institute guy to quit talking so I could kill him. I also really didnt care about the motivations for any of the factions. I hated the Railroad and only stayed friendly long enough to get the ballistic weave then I Order 66'd them. BoS was the only ending I played and I didnt like them much either except for loyalty from past games and Liberty Prime was awesome AF. On the other hand, the story for NV was completely engrossing. The factions were all interesting and had fully developed personas, motives and backstories. You had many options to get to the same place or completely different places in the story, depending on how you play.
3.) DLC - The NV DLC is far and away the best DLC I have ever played with the exception of Undead Nightmare for Red Dead Redemption. The story for Dead Money is one of my favorite works of fiction ever, and if it were a graphic novel I would buy it in a heartbeat. 3 had good DLC in Anchorage and Point Lookout (the original Far Harbor) but the alien one was just stupid. I am SO glad I didnt buy the season pass for 4. The DLC was absolute shit. NV FELT like a new game, not a re skinned one. Theres a difference between an homage, or paying tribute and blatantly cannibalizing your own stuff.
4.) GEAR - In F3, you probably lived in power armor (unless you had the Chinese Stealth Suit) so in 4 they tried to cripple that with using 'power cells' which, aside from being an annoying bit of plot devicery was also IMO non-canon. In NV there were more interesting options, like the talking Stealth Suit from OWB, the Ranger Armor, etc. where I never had a desire to wear it. Helmets with night vision were pretty cool also.
5.) NPCs. NV NPCs seemed more interesting and unpredictable. In 3 they were good, 4 they were repetitive, again, I never really got attached to any of them except Cait because she was funny as hell.
6.) 3 had some scary moments, 4 did not. I never felt the sense of desperation in 4 that NV gave me. NV and the DLC all felt like they had distinct, separate stories that still managed to tie together here and there, and they all felt like the decisions had momentous consequences. I had to think hard about what I wanted to have happen. In 4, it was kill this guy now or wait and kill him later. Also, 3 and 4 never gave me the willies that I got the first time you creep around the Lucky 38 and hear nothing but the wind blowing, the feeling of isolation and abandonment was really unnerving.
I guess thats enough of a start. Thoughts?
