Why I continue to dislike Fallout New Vegas

In a previous post I compared Fallout 3 with Fallout New Vegas. In that post I only highlighted the big details which makes the games stand out. Well now I'm going to rant about why I continue to dislike New Vegas.

  • Map laziness
The exploration value in that game is beaten down to a pulp. It reduces about 70% of the map locations to small shacks, huts, or camp sites used only for finding star bottle caps. That quest was probably the worst idea for a quest. Not the fact that its a drawn out 'collect this many of this item' quest, but the fact that it is a sorry excuse to fill up the Mojave with unimaginative locations instead of places that could yield interesting stories. When compared to the capital wasteland the size is laughable. Also invisible walls. Seriously? "You can't go any further in this direction" was the best you could come up with? I shake my head at Scott Everette.
