Should I stay or should I go?

Hi to everyone (I am new) I have a question and think this is the best place to get an answer.

Context: I just need to play Fallout, last two years I've been playing over and over New Vegas but I just need something new. I tried FO4 before but could ony go so far, as I was consumed by rage at all the limitations this "open world" had.

Question: Is a similar follow up game like what New Vegas was to FO3 in any kind of development? Should I wait a little longer? Or should just give up on this game since I read not even good mods are out there to fix it. I don't know.

In my experience either a game dies or becomes an abomination. I thought the later happened in FO3 but then New Vegas appeared and I thought "Hey, maybe they learned." Then with FO4 they ruin the essence again. I just need closure but I am not nearly as informed as you guys are.
 
Well, I love Fallout 3 and generally spend all my time arguing why NV built on what it achieved.

But no, there's been no announcement about a new game from it or any hint Obsidian is getting the license back for a new game.

YES, I have played Fallout 1 & 2 a million times, even moded versions. Even ended up playing Fallout Tactics. Probably should have said that earlier.

I will be honest with you, what I liked about Fallout 3 is that it helped introduce the game to my younger brother and had some cool time with him thanks to the game. But we all know the game was just too weird of a direct succesor of the previous game, it felt overal like an alternate universe or even a reboot poorly executed. (Was a fun game, but didn't live up to the expectation).

That said, I feel sad they haven't even seen fans opinions, guess that as long as they see people buying the game it just dosen't matter.
 
Dunno, that's the problem with this franchise, isn't it?
I found these to fill the empty a bit:
- Modded Skyrim: VERY modded Skyrim. After using the Alternate Start, just don't join any side in the civil war or go talk to the Whiterun Jarl, and you won't have to deal with a lot of vanilla stupidity, and more important: NOT become the Dragonborn.
Then you can try any mod you please, and look for the good quest mods and stuff, while kicking out what you don't want, you know the drill. Besides, Enderal was launched a bit ago and it's mostly a game on its own. Can make a list if you are interested
- Wasteland 2: You might have played this one already; basically the true Fallout 3, although it's not that great.

Fallout 4 is a even worse version of Fallout 3. Most of the quests are radiant quests. There is little to no role-playing options in the game. The only thing that is improved is combat and that is still not as a good a regular FPS.

I pretty much agree.

Fallout 3 was basically Oblivion with Guns and improved storytelling as well as environments.

Fallout 4 should have been Skyrim with Guns and the same.

Instead it was Oblivion merged with Minecraft.

Just happens to be the wrong kind of people. (If a series was created for fanbase Y and you cater to fanbase X to the point that you alienate fanbase Y then you are catering to the wrong people no matter how successful the game is or how good it is 'on its own merits'.)

As to the OP, you should probably move on. Either to something similar (I suggest Age Of Decadence (which is getting a sequel 'and' a spin-off), Wasteland 2 (and a third instalment is on its way) and Underrail) or you should just stick with Total Conversion mods for either of the games.

You can play my mod for FNV 'Fallout Atlanta' link in signature. Its nowhere near finished but will hopefully offer up a few hours of new game play with alot of new stuff coming. Fallout 4 not really worth the time. I mean it has nothing really of note to play in it, nothing worth while. i mean i kept playing to like find a good settlement or like progress the main story but i just got stuck into lope of a settlement building.

Fallout: Tactics existed before Fallout 3. Franchises can co-exist multiple ways.

No one's saying that, but it gives off the impression of misinterpreting what Fallout is.

I'm sorry, that's unfair but I have an issue with gatekeeping. I can understand and appreciate the sense of loss which original game fans (which I am included of) have with the loss of Van Buren and the genre shift of Fallout from pure RPG to shooter/RPG. I, too, have issues with it.

I just happened to like the new games and think they have an undeserved bad reputation. There also seems to be a sense that if I don't hate them actively, I'm disrespecting the original games.
 
I mean its like hard to say really. I don't wanna act in tilted and fallout 4 is nothing to do with something fallout but like fallout has changed in so many ways it really does't feel like Fallout 3 FNV or the classics. It just feels different. I mean like its changed genre ect. So yeah i dunno really care about like top down isometric to frist person ect does't feel like that big of a different from FNV to fallout for all the wrong reasons.


Fundamentally fallout went from a RPG till a generic shooter
