The games heavily encourage you to do things your own way, especially New Vegas (which doesn’t have essential NPCs and has tons of faction creeds). Contrast this to the Bioware games, which consist of nothing other than boring dialogue about what a special snowflake each character is and how all the races need to unite against the evil robots (individualism is punished in a Bioware world if it is constructive, but rewarded if it’s destructive). Mass Effect 3 changed a character from straight to sodomite for no reason at all, and it has a pilot who whines about his husband (and who you can’t even berate).

At this point I’m a Bethesda fanboi/evangelist. I can’t deal with the other companies games anymore because of control issues. I HATE the feel of how they control/move. Either I just got so used to Sky/Fallout or I just click with it, but I honestly don’t bother keeping up with other games now.
I played LA Noir on PS3 and loved the ‘game’. But controlling that mess made me not even look at Red Dead Redemption or the GTA games. I heard the PC has the same feel controlwise so no go.
I got Bioshock Infinite and Farcry Blood Dragon free with my old card and pulled them from the drive shortly after. Beautiful to look at, nigtmate fuel to control.
The only game I will buy for sure between now and the next elder scrolls title is Persona 5 because I love that series and will put up with a lot to play it. But it controlled pretty well so no real issue anyway.
I was a Final Fantasy buff until 13. Someone should be drawn and quartered for that.
Bsides Sky/Fallout though, The PS1 Xenogears and PS2 Xenosaga games are just pure awesome start to finish. Saga was too far over the heads of the market and failed as a profitable series but for old guys with some education in history/mythology AND and imagination, it was the ideal game. We shall never see it’s like again I’m afraid.
Thanks, I am so sick of the sodomites I will knock mass 3 off of the wants list.
