Forum:Capital or Mojave Wasteland?

I personally love exploring the Mojave, just wanted to see what others thought. Amphitheatre 22:25, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

Personally, I found the Capital Wasteland more fun to explore, with its abundance of military bases and landmarks. The Captain (radio) 18:24, December 4, 2010 (UTC) (i like the mojave has a old west feel Radioactivecajun 05:58, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

I liked the capital wasteland more but.... that is only because New Vegas came after and i had already experienced fallout 3. That made New Vegas seem less "fresh" and interesting. Anyone else know what im saying?

Both were pretty awesome. FO3 had all sorts of cool military instillations and SAT-Links and the civilizations were a bit more interesting, but all in all, the capital wasteland was positively GRAY. Except for Oasis of course. That was quite green. I prefer the Mojave mainly because it's just more eye-pleasing. Mountains, ridges, The Strip off in the distance. The atmosphere is much less drab. --Viper720666 02:18, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

--I know what you mean. When I saw Red rock Canyon for the first time I was speechless. The Mojave is definitely a lot brighter than DC. Still, I feel like the Mojave's also a bit overstuffed map wise. Like, in FO3 when you found a location, it meant there was loot to be found and dangers to face. In the Mojave, it could be loot, it could be nothing, like Devils Gullet, just a huge hole in the ground with a couple of ammo boxes. Leave it to Vegas to keep tourist traps around even after it's nuked. - Wiseman288 15:14, December 15, 2010 (UTC)

I enjoyed more Capital Wasteland. I was dissappointed in the "old west" of Mojave. Also i was...hmm to do i put it. By the high level of andvancement of Mojave Wasteland. I prefer old fallout version where things go to hell more when exploring a plcae which is safe and only few enemies attack and those are only animals. --OmegaSpruz 21:07, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

I'll cast my vote for the Cap Wasteland.

3) Awe-inspiring visuals: The D.C. skyline, the inside of Oasis, the fireball over Megaton as seen from Tenpenny Tower... I could go on.
 * 1) 3-6 on my list of things I liked about Fallout 3

4) Non-stop discovery: There's always someone to talk to, something to see, something to loot, or something to fight around every corner. I actually *avoid* fast-travel for this reason, and even after five playthroughs, I'm still finding new people and places.

5) D.C. actually *feels* like a city: I'd guesstimate it at about a mile across from the National Guard depot to the Jefferson Memorial. Nothing compared to the *actual* city, but pretty big for a video game.

6) Flavor: The Capital Wasteland abounds with characters, places, objects, and notes that tell the story of postwar Maryland and the numerous and varied attempts to build a new civilization on the remains of the old.

Contrast these with #3-5 on my list of things I didn't like about Fallout: New Vegas

3) A whole lotta nothin': The Mojave Wasteland seems to consist of isolated pockets of life separated by vast reaches of empty terrain. It really breaks-up the action of the game (unless you've already visited your destination, in which case fast-travel can prevent a *lot* of boredom).

4) Cowboy up?: A historically accurate single-action revolver with smooth wooden grips, loading gate, and single-case manual ejection is a poor choice for self-defense, and it's also *very* expensive compared to a modern automatic. So why is it that everybody in F.O.N.V. seems to have one? And where did they get those cowboy outfits?  Are they all card-carrying S.A.S.S. members or something?

5) Morte Las Vegas: What happened to Sin City? I know the game devs have to scale-down cities to fit the game map, but the real Las Vegas is actually bigger than Washington D.C., while New Vegas is actually much smaller than the D.C. Ruins from F.O.3...what gives?

However, the new game features (cooking, handloading, faction reputaions, disguises, gambling, etc.) make up for the setting and scenery.

I love both. they are amazing cause they are based on the world torn apart by china and america 200 years ago turning it into a world of no chance of turning it to back to normal. like Moira brown said " life is like a glass that if it breaks people try to put it back to normal but they dont realize even if they do the world will not be the same" --Maddislimane 19:44, October 4, 2011 (UTC)Maddislimane
