Fallout 3 Vs. Fallout: New Vegas, Comparisons and Debates... Options

[Diamandis]

Woo! Another Fallout thread! Sorry guys

Buuuuuut, on a few fallout related threads I've seen people make comparisons about both games; what people think one does better or what one does a lot worse.

I thought it would be nice to have a thread where our opinions could be put tidily in one handy place

For me, three of my preferences:

I love the way NV does Companions compared to 3. Not only does the companion wheel make things a lot easier, but it is actually fun travelling with a companion. They actually have things to say, back story wise and you feel like you are travelling with a friend In a way. In 3 they are kinda just there. I find it hard to connect with the companions as they are so one dimensional.

Also, prefer the Star Cap hunt in NV compared to the Nuka Cola challenge (sorry mirocu ). I just find it more of a challenge finding the caps as the Quantums in 3 seem to easy to find.

BUT one thig 3 does have the edge on over NV are player housing. Bethesda have always done a great job with what their player housing has to offer, and Fallout 3 is no exception. In NV the player houses (if you can call them that) just never feel like home. They seem bland.
