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... -miles -- `To alcohol!
