PC games. Any suggestions?

People keep mentioning Fallout: New Vegas. Was anyone as disappointed with this game as I was? Not because it was bad, but because it was more of a large expansion pack for Fallout 3.

I thought that at first, I didn't see much different. Essentially you are playing the same game, simply because it's the same engine and the same tools used to make the game world.
But it goes much deeper than that, it's the little things in New Vegas which add up to a huge difference for me. There's different critters, totally different places, different quests, and not to mention the superb faction system.
The major thing for me about New Vegas was the world was rather well populated, especially in comparison to Fallout 3. When you put these things together it is very much a different game. But I understand your point entirely.

I wasn't as impressed by New Vegas as I could have been, but then, I wasn't going to be seen as all of the things you do in it are essentially (gameplay wise) the same as what is in Fallout 3. But the content I think is very different, and that's what makes it a stand alone game rather than a glorified expansion.

So basically, I wasn't disappointed, but that's because I knew exactly what I was going to be getting before I ever bought the game. I knew it was just going to be a continuation of Fallout 3, but honestly that's more than fine by me seen as Fallout 3 is probably my all time favourite game.


I do hope in Skyrim though they have a fantastic new engine, because the old one was getting very dated.
