I felt the same way: F3 was just vastly _more fun_ than FNV... it felt
like a real world, with tons of stuff going on, which you could
interact with at your own pace.

For me it wasn't the graphics/polish, it was just that FNV
felt... well, boring, and forced.  _All_ the various factions were
sort of stupid and annoying; I never felt like I wanted to follow or
support any of them, but the game kept trying to nudge me into doing
so.  

The environment / setting in FNV was also yawn-inducing.  It felt
... empty.  There wasn't anything like the sense of possibility you
had in F3.

[I did play though pretty far though, just so I could kill off as many
of the factions as possible.  The game did have that: shooting stuff
was fun... >< ]

I hope they set F4 in a real city (Boston is what I've heard, and
having lived there, that would be cool), and use a different developer
than FNV...
