I don't know what could be done for gameplay though. Any recommendations on mods? Mostly I used just one mod for both FO3 and NV, it was the one that made the consolitis-huge fonts a little smaller. I actually felt New Vegas was more approachable since the gameplay was better. At least combat since now you could hit the proverbial side of a barn. Fallout 3 always felt to me like even if you put the barrel of your gun in an enemy's mouth, still some of your shots would miss somehow. Other than that, the story and the world in NV were pretty meh. Too much war and atrocities is just off-putting. And who wants to have shades of grey in their entertainment? The hardcore mode in NV was kind of interesting but not really thought out. I guess the game engine doesn't really support the idea of a canteen that can be partially empty and filled up but still it seems like it shouldn't be that hard to implement. Then there was the problem with the companions: they didn't seem able to use antivenom on themselves so if they were stung by something they'd just die off unless you spammed them with antivenom and just hoped they wouldn't die. Of course there was no way to tell if you'd given them enough antivenom or not.
