It wasn’t long before I found myself deeply invested in the storyline and adjusting to the various weapons, but again, the stat system was killing my enjoyment quite a bit. Despite this, my best friend bought me a copy of Fallout: New Vegas last year, insisting that it was an RPG that I would enjoy much more than the others I’d tried.įor the most part, she was correct. For me, having to deal with so many stats for so many different people and objects tends to detract from gameplay - so much so that I never completed a game in this genre for most of my gaming history. (Warning: Spoilers and in-game jargon ahead.)
