Not to mention combat that feels like slap fights with paper dolls. And I really liked Fallout 3 and New Vegas (especially the latter).


That was actually the Bethesda games I was playing! I agree on the combat, too, it's not unplayable but it feels odd.

As much as I've enjoyed Fallout 3 and New Vegas, I don't think Bethesda are actually particularly great developers.

Yeah, their QA definitely leaves much to be desired.

I liked Fallout 3 and New Vegas because they probably have the most satisfying Western post-apocalyptic settings overall. The combat just doesn't have any weight to it. It doesn't feel like you're connecting to the enemy in melee, and long-range combat is largely redeemed by the bullet-time mechanic (VATS).  I also wish to God Bethesda would hire better character designers.
