Meanwhile my lonely ass been sitting over here absolutely loathing Fallout: New Vegas since its release. I did not like that game. I probably would today if I got over myself and tried playing it again.

Wow that's an unpopular opinion for sure. You might get roasted for that one. What bugged you about it?
Not OP but New Vegas always felt like a total overhaul mod for Fallout 3. Same assets, different location, different story, crashes a lot.
Basically was, Bethesda crippled Obsidian with a ridiculous target to release in so they had little to no time to work on new assets etc.
New Vegas is a great game despite its original flaws that in the years since, modders have completely fixed.
no they didnt, obsidian crippled themselves by saying they can do it in 18 months and then mismanaging their time
Yeah, Obsidian has a bad habit of that. Crazy thing is they still managed to make one of the greatest RPGs of all time, crippled and short on development time.
Its a bit "theme parky", but the writing and narrative agency is just so good it's unreal.
Honestly, I'm ok with it it. It created a game more focused on story.
For myself, I don't hate it, I just don't seem to get it like everyone else. I just leveled myself up and gave some weapons after a while because I found the combat unengaging and wanted to finish the story. I'm interested in trying out that mod pack someone else mentioned. Maybe the experience will be quite different.
Yeah the gunplay is better than fallout 3 but that's not saying much... It is pretty damn barebones. VATS can be fun though.
