That’s what I like about New Vegas. Get your sneak high enough along with Silent Running and a stealth field, and not even the strongest, most perceptive bosses can notice you. The legendary enemies, the X-42 giant roboscorpion, Lanius, etc all become unable to spot or attack you unless you use a loud weapon, effectively neutralizing them.
* Except the Old World Blues stuff if you arrive there at a high level, then those fucking lobotomites with fuckloads of health will engage you from a mile away even if your entire build is stealth based
I’m a shill for new Vegas but this is honestly the reason. You have actual mechanical choice, not just dialogue choice. You can kill anyone in the game and the story can still resolve itself. You can play any way and there’s probably a way to progress. Go straight through deathclaw valley. Maybe youll make it. Or don’t, and go the traditional route.
Theres so much more freedom than the other games. I dont understand how anyone things new vegas is inferior other than liking the railroad and having choice taken on their behalf.
Exactly! NV is so replayable because there’s so many options and alternatives. No two playthroughs are exactly alike, and I still discover new things despite having played the game for a decade.
