This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Can confirm. Source: am short white guy, my ex is a truly statuesque black woman. Only way I know it's not about me is because I don't bother with Fallout past 2.
Well see, that's a real mistake.
I can take or leave the others, but New Vegas is special. It has plenty of shortcomings, but it's still the last good Fallout.
It's an FPS. I'm totally uninterested in the gameplay.
Unless it can be played as a 2D turn-based strategy RPG, I'm not going to bother with it. If they made a Geneforge 6 and made it an FPS, I'd be just as turned off. I feel the same way about Might & Magic vs. Heroes of Might & Magic.
There's a playable version of Fallout Van Buren, the original fallout 3, that has a lot of the same story points, themes, and settings as New Vegas. I also recommend Wasteland 2 and 3 if you haven't played them
I had heard the comment that NV is basically Van Buren in 3's engine, yes. I'm interested.
