I get this feeling Bethesda is staying on the eastern US and maybe (just maybe) Obsidian will do more on the west, to allow Bethesda to develop its own sub-universe.

The whole NV line mirrors the American civil war and old western culture at that time period, and small hints are dropped indicating that if we do not learn from our past we will repeat it, since the past has been destroyed we in the wasteland revert. It's actually brilliant

It's fun the first time around, tolerable the second, and it's outright awful every other time. I tend to focus more on mods because they keep me playing.

but dose anything in life keep it's appeal when repetition comes to play after a year of anything done over and over it all goes dull. There are many games we can stab at in this instance. However I do to a degree feel as if they could have delivered much more, yet we need to understand the game must appeal to the populous. In that regard its sadly dull strait forward and unintelligent. Example lots of games with possibly the most creative stories I've seen get beaten out by rewashed fps games that require little thought process.
