Am I the only one who really didn't like the story for NV?

the first act was kind of shallow but the stuff where you start helping your preferred faction was great.
I didn't like how kind of unrealistic it was.

He shot in the head
Track the guy down and shoot him in the head
Then you either
1.)take over Nevada with the help of a weird robot
2.) help some weird old guy take over Nevada
3. Help another old guy with cancer that cnat even replicate a good army right take over nevada
4.) help some buttboys take over Nevada

Also, it's my opinion. If you don't agree with it then good for you.

GUESS WHO'S LAUGHING NOW SWAN?

ARTILLERY STRIKE INBOUND
TACTICAL NUKES INBOUND

IT'S ALL OGRE FOR YOU SHREK

tbh I thought it'd be a harder fight than just lolstomping him with three mininukes and an arty strike

bugger didn't even lay a finger on me.

>Fallout new vegas was unrealistic
>but the brotherhood of steel AND the enclave happening to wander to the same place, with neither knowing about the other and the brotherhood finding a giant robot that they actually manage to get working then defeating the army that has air and orbital superiority and manufacturing facilities for it's equipment and highly trained soldiers is realistic

unrealistic isn't a valid argument when talking about a game series set in an alternate 1950's retro future where there are nuclear powered cars and robots but the world goes to war over oil and culture remained stagnant for over a century

Even in a fiction setting there still needs to be realism of some sort.

Also, they brotherhood aren't a bunch or idiot savages. They have high tech stuff and they're smart. It's not a big surprise they got liberty prime working, and iirc liberty prime was still being kept in DC because they never got to deploy it (haven't played in years son Imay be wrong) so it's not to hard to believe that they found it.

You're gonna get upset at "realism" in a Fallout universe when you compare it to Fallout 1 and 2? The first thing wrong with any of these games is how radiation works. It's not at all realistic to how it works irl.

His other points still stand, like how the two factions don't know they're there, or how shallow the BoS is in that game, or how the story makes absolutely no sense.

Or how a group like the Eastern BOS was able to get Prime working in a matter of weeks. Something which the US Army couldn't do in years.

Or why the enclave never decided to orbital strike the Brotherhood until they had been  REQd by Prime for two weeksm

Or how the Enclave got in the vault where you were, or why you were even against them for purifying the water when no one but Eden wanted to infect it, or how Autumn survived the radiation because he simply gave himself a shot (yeah okay), or a lot of things.

There was NO EXPOSITION either. Or at least something so basic as "they're here now". Things were happening simply for the sake of happening. That's horrible storytelling.

People survive that more often than you'd think actually.

Maybe not a high calibre round to the brainpan, but I'm fairly certain you see people surviving .22 and 9mm rounds.

I was gonna mention that. And if you see where he shot you (from like, mods and stuff), it wasn't dead center.

I wasn't comparing it really.

And in the fallout universe a lot of things don't work the same way as they do irl, that's one of the reasons why it's a fiction.

I'm saying its unrealistic in how the character just decides to take over Nevada all of the sudden.

You don't really take it over yourself though. It's also unrealistic how you raid a military base and blow it up after beating a giant dude in an outfit before they spread a gas across the entire planet. It's a political thing in NV that slowly unravels anyway in NV.

Well they don't really, in three cases they find out the bigger picture of what's going on and make a choice of what to do with the chip, or in the case of the NCR just helping them out seems they never ask for the chip.

In the same way that the lone wanderer just decides to defeat the government and purify all the water even though logically you'd want to stay away from the conflict.

At least all three factions (House, Legion and NCR) give you a meaningful goal, especially as you can decide your own backstory with each.  It's hardly random in NV, unless you want it to be.

You really are just the tipping factor in all of it anyway, when things are just reaching the brink.

If you were just a random person in the wasteland, then yeah, you'd stay away, but in fallout 3 you're looking for your dad then after you do that you just want to help him achieve this goal and help everybody out.

It's no more random than finding revenge on the guy who shot you, before being brought into something bigger.

If you really want to help achieve his goal, why would you then work against the guys best-equipped to do that goal?

Col. Autumn and Lyons had virtually the same goal - why were they fighting? Because plot.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
