I have memories of FO3 being amazing, but when I try to start a second playthrough, it just feels like a slog and it doesn’t pull me back into the groove.

FO:NV may be the exception, I remembering doing a solid handfull of playthroughs. Have not done so in ages though.

FO4, I got as far as The Institute and ran out of steam, and for the life of me I cant make it make it past the museum in an attempt at a fresh playthrough.

FO 76. I can’t even make it down the hill before I get bored.

Is it me, or is the universe wonderful near perfection (yes, I am here because I am loving the show), but the games just have this extreme hurdle, this extreme cost of effort to get INTO the game, in a different way for each installment, that prevent you from getting hooked into a full playthrough?

Maybe its just me. Was just wondering since the franchise is getting such a boost currently.

    Fallout 3, NV, and 4 in my opinion are best played as open-world hoarding simulators. Clear out a building that’d make a good storage base, then explore every inch of the map killing and looting, and bringing the booty back to your base. If there’s a quest in the area you’re gonna loot next, then do it.
