[QUOTE="ephemeron, post: 6358981, member: 21477"] I'm not going to call Fallout 3 or New Vegas better than the other, but I never ran into a game-breaking bug in either and have put much more time into Fallout 3. In general, Bethesda's strength is in building sandboxes and Obsidian's is in narrative. In specific, NV unquestionably has the better plot, but after I finished it, I felt like I'd experienced just about all the game had to offer. FO3's main plot is a mess, but the Capital Wasteland invites haring off in new directions and trying new character types. As for Mask of the Betrayer, I've heard great things about it but never got very far in. Part of it is that enough time passed between my finishing the base campaign and starting MotB that I forgot a lot of how the interface worked and what my character's abilities did. And part is that shortly after getting out of the first area I was forced into an unreasonably-difficult fight on behalf of an NPC whom my character had more reasons to consider an enemy than to support. Or at least that's the impression that's stuck with me -- that was a while ago now. And to return to the original topic, I'd love to see Obsidian make a Pathfinder game. I strongly prefer single-player to multiplayer in computer games, and the Pathfinder MMO gave up any chance it might have had to be an exception when the comparison to EVE Online came up. But I'll probably wait for some fan patches before I give it a try. [/QUOTE]
