    It was released in 2012 or something. Back then it wasn’t greeted with such positivity and I hadn’t checked since.

    The reviews do look pretty positive now.

      You’re right. Obsidian had a very tight timeframe for developing this game and it was a buggy mess when it released. as is anything based on the creation Gamebryo (creation is skyrim onwards and is based on gamebryo) engine.

        I’ve never really understood the hyper around NV but admittedly my memory could be tainted by time.

        I loved Fallout 1 & 2 and when Fallout 3 dropped I was delighted to get 1st person modern graphics in the world I loved. Then NV came along and the novelty of the new perspective and graphics had worn off, and there were these 2 new groups I really didn’t enjoy. Take me back to simpler times of raiders and brotherhood. Then Fallout 4 came out and I was happy once more…back in the world I loved with fresher graphics.

        But nothing can replace 1 & 2 for me.
