There is an ever present theme of the brutality of the wasteland being favorable to the insanity of the past. I love the way that each town is interconnected and helps tell the story of the entire wasteland. I find that Fallout 2 has amazing dialogue that makes me remember many characters in a way that New Vegas never did. I guess I'm choosing the independent ending, but Vegas isn't even that great of a place, and its probably gonna fall to infighting rather soon, or get some new version of mr.house along the way. NCR and Legion have a lot of the same problems so why pick either? House is a maniac. I never cared much about Hoover Dam, I get that its a valuable piece of energy generation but I always felt like there are no good options where power is left to corrupt. I find new vegas to be incredibly boring and uninteresting, from its characters to its choice of factions and political conflict. Click to expand.I have the exact opposite problem.
