I lurked for a while too. Came here originally for the FO2 patch. To me ATM, FO3 is the worst of these games simply because I can't get it to run without crashing for more than a few minutes. If you're into New Vegas modding, don't start making your own mods. It's a horrible addiction. Took me years to stop.I'm an occasional lurker who enjoys the discussions here, and I finally decided to sign up. I first played the original Fallout over a decade ago. I played Fallout 3 when it came out and I enjoyed it because it was the first open-world first-person RPG I played, though I now just find it "okay" after experiencing better writing. It also prompted me to revisit Fallout 1 and play Fallout 2. I'm also a little too obsessed with New Vegas and modding more generally, and now I feel like I'm being dragged back to it. I've never played 4, BoS or 76 and don't really feel like doing so.
Welcome aboard!
