I have many times and it's easy to see they made a stronger rpg with better writing, but it's harmed by the setting. Wandering through the desert doesn't hit the same for me as the capital wasteland nor are the stories told by random scenes you can find as compelling.
I know that I'm probably supposed to say that New Vegas is perfect, but I gotta say that Fallout 3 is my favorite. Now if we could have a Fallout 3 made by Obsidian...
the problem with Fallout 3 is the world is dead, because nothing you do at X matters in Y.
Its a collection of segregated short stories,isolated in their own little worlds with no contact or interaction with eachother, all plopped into a single map, with nothing connecting to anything else. The only lasting impact of anything outside their own isolated containers is to your nebulous karma stat, which only affects peoples general disposition towards you.
