YES!!!! I loved fallout 3 but I was really disappointed with New Vegas. I hope Fallout 4 goes back to the survival/horror.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Mostly this though I remember not caring about the New Vegas storyline much. I know that New Vegas took place (20 years?) after the events of Fallout 3 so it wasn't going to be the EXACT same type of game but everything feels so "together". I mean there's a pretty big
army presence
so I kind of feel like doing a lot of the quests are sort of silly. I remember the dessert being small.

I'll have to replay Fallout 3 but I don't remember any "bad writing" I also loved exploring.

Meh, I have so much more to do. Like play Civ V more. I wanna do playthoughs of Mass Effect, Fallout 3, 2 Worlds 2. I wanna finally sit down and play Borderlands and Rising Dead. I',m a bit Old Republic'd out but yea...if KC gives me his key I'll try it out but I don't think I'll play it that much so if someone else REALLY REALLY REALLY wants it then it should go to them.

I also have $40 in game stop gift cards and I don't know what I wanna get from there. I did buy this game called The First Templar but that was lame so I took it back.

I loved KOTOR. Didn't really care for KOTOR2 that much. SWTOR is basically a continuation of the KOTOR storyline.

I still feel like the first one is the best and KOTOR 2 has a darker gritty tone to it and that can appeal to a certain crowd.
