Yeah, that was weird too. Everyone complained about being cut off at the end of FO3 and they do the exact same thing at the end of NV (still don't know what happens exactly, but I know the end is the end).Olorune said:Agreed. A big part of not caring about the main story was the "if you didn't do it then, you'll never be able to do it later" kind of things and the fact that once you did all the quests to change the face of Vegas forever, you don't even get to play in that new world. That just comes off as Obsidian being lazy, to me. Fallout 3's Broken Steel did it right and it was a ton of fun to be able to see the changes you brought to the world!Woodsey said:I found the entire main plot fairly uninteresting (still not finished it, likely never will). NV is much better for its side-quests. I didn't even care about Benny to be honest.
There is just way to many ways for the game to end for there to be a Broken Steel like expansion. Fallout 3 had two relatively similar endings, so it was easier for them to build off that.Woodsey said:Yeah, that was weird too.

Assuming you picked the option of killing him. I, being a 'hero' type of character, decided to forgive him and let him go. And I was quite disappointed when I found out he doesn't make any more appearances afterwards.Vern5 said:... As soon as you see Benny's broken ragdoll plummet to the floor...
I felt pretty rail roaded in NV. Only side I really cared for was Brotherhood of Steel and you don't have the option of fighting for them or giving them special privileges.loc978 said:Kind of like getting an airship in a Final Fantasy game... I guess some of us prefer not to be railroaded through a game?
Also this. I actually liked Benny. Why game kept insisted I had some grudge towards him I did not understand, seeing the vast amounts of people trying to kill me on a regular basis I didn't see my character as the type to keep grudges.maninahat said:I was disappointed at not being able to form a Mohave ruling tag team with him in the end game. It gives you the option of freeing him, but that has no long term effect on the overall plot. Waste of a good loose end.
Same thing with 3 too, it just flowed better and made you care. Find dad, oh wait, water is shitty, fix water.Ryan Kerr said:It is the same thing that happened in 1, 2 and New Vegas. The game starts a bad thing happens (shot in the head, Water chip fails, etc) you go to fix it in the 1/3 of the game and you find out about a bigger issue (Super mutants, Enclave, conflict in New Vegas) and then you have to fix that even bigger problem in the last 2/3. I never had an issue with it.
