Water is not wet!
Its fine to feel this way but the bombs dropped hundreds of years before Fallout 3. Even in Fallout 1 society is coming back into its own more than whats going on with Fallout 3.tokkun said:1. I prefer the more oppressive, lonelier feel of FO3's Capital Wasteland over the Mojave Desert. CW is more evocative of the feel of post-apocalyptic literature like The Road. FO3 actually feels like the end of the world. NV does not.
The locale only appears more interesting at first, until you realize that all those buildings are places you cannot enter.2. The locale is more interesting. The destroyed monuments are more provocative to players than Vegas's strip - particularly because keeping the Strip undamaged makes it more obvious that it is a half-assed rendition of the real thing.
In gaming im not impressed with set pieces that play out the same way each time.3. FO3 had much better set pieces - the assault on the GNR building, Raven Rock, Liberty Prime.
The main thing that was recycled was the engine. Most of the stuff besides that werent just 1:1 copies. Even fluff like billboards and posters were mostly new iirc. Oh.. and you know what was refreshing in New Vegas? Being able to talk to more than 5 people and get a different voice for each.4. Since so much material in NV was recycled from FO3, it felt a lot fresher the first time around
