I really like Skyrim but Fallout New Vegas is a better roleplay game in all aspects tbh

[thespanishcel]

Things New Vegas does better:
-Your choices actually matter
-Many more dialogue options
-Different ways to end quests, if you have high speech you can complete important quests without killing anyone. In Skyrim high speech will only mean lower prices or skipping one fight but that's all.
-You can befriend or become enemies with factions and if you wear their clothes you will be treated as a member.
-You can't do everything in a single playthrough because doing some quests for a faction will make you enemy of the rival faction and prevent access to its questline, which is realistic. In Skyrim with the same character you can become the leader of every faction.
-More weapon variety but understandable tbh because you have firearms while Skyrim is medieval so you only have meelee weapons
-The leveling system is better because you can put points in any skill even if you didn't use it much before leveling up

However Skyrim is still an incredible game with great lore and very fun, but in roleplay aspects it's inferior to Fallout New Vegas. I would say that if you don't care much about RPG mechanics then choose your favorite setting (medieval vs post-apocalyptic) but if you're an RPG purist then I can understand why some people love New Vegas and constantly shit on Skyrim. I like both. Also one thing Skyrim did better is that after finishing the main quest you can keep playing while in FNV after that you see the ending and game over.

Once you play Skyrim or Oblivion once all the way there's no reason to play it again. I replayed NV several times. It would be nice to play a new Elder Scrolls game every 5 years or so though.

fnv is best rpg of all time, but love skyrim and oblivion too
big aspect of tes that you can play as wizard ( also mods which adds tons of fun spells )

@thespanishcel which build do you play in skyrim and fnv ?
in skyrim i play either as altmer mage ( or breton ) or stealth archer ( other races )
in fnv i love to roleplay as gun wielding doctor with 100 speech

 

[To koniec]

tbh speech is overpowered in fnv

 

[To koniec]

i disagree tho with leveling, tes leveling system is best rpg system cause actually matters what you do

 

[Words2_live_bye]

Never beat either but i have more hours in Skyrim than fallout
In Fallout i finished my game once i killed Benny
and in skyrim i simply quit from boredom

In skyrim I just went with the easy nord warrior build with sword (sometimes axe) and shield, no magic at all except curing myself sometimes or using light in dark caves. Skyrim as pure mage must be hard specially in early game.

In New Vegas I liked to max speech, lockpick and both types of guns. Then I put some points on medicine and explosives and ended up with a very OP character kek.

Interplay/obsidian mogs bugthesda hard when it comes to making actual RPGs. If you can get past the dated gameplay the older fallouts are great RPGs as well.

only thing good about bethesda games is that they a pretty much a modding sandbox disguised as a game and even then all of the best mods I've ever played(NV bounties, Salt Lake Stories, and deimos) where in fallout NV

I can't play rpg at all because of decision paralysis. The menus and options filter me the fuck out. Just give me good action where I can just jump in.

I usually leave the Civil War incomplete because I hate seeing my lovely Whiterun trashed. And the "battles" with you and 5 guys vs the enemy are cringe. (The story is epic, but the limitations of the game's engine just can't do it justice.)

But assassinating the emperor and then fighting the civil war for the empire was a cool mind-fuck. I love how salty the blacksmith's bitch in Windhelm gets.

I am replaying NV with the Legion.

I am replaying NV with the Legion.

My first playthrough ever was with the Legion. I had no idea of the game so I missed cool sidequests, had a really badly leveled character and killed some followers kek. And in the last mission my game always crashed so I never saw that ending.

My next game was with Yes Man and this time I was so OP with my high speech, guns (normal and energy), lockpick and medicine build, recruited all the followers and had amazing armor and guns from sidequests I had missed.

I don't like the fact that you must eliminate House early on in the game when playing with the Legion.And Caesar is kinda meh charismatic.Naturally i'm leaning more with the NCR and House,but i am just playing very slowly this time an enjoy those little details.
