I tried Fallout Las Vegas and I was already overwhelmed by the open world choices from the beginning. Do I loot some of the unpermitted stuff from the guy who saved me? Do I loot every house in view?
I prefer a game to tell me what to do or what to be, like reading a book. Fallout tells me of course but I'm still a bit of a hoarder.
Ah man I feel you. As I grow older, I notice that I'm more drawn towards linear games rather than open world for this exact reason
Truee, Fallout also made me feel like this! I've only ever started FO4 but I had to return it within the first two hours of playing because I felt forced to loot every house and find every little story in that giant world. Too much for me!
New Vegas is a weird one, in that it's much closer to a genuine, old 'choices matter' RPG, and a pretty far cry from FO3 and 4. Hardcore RPG fans love it for that reason, but if you grew up on Skyrim or similar it's going to be jarring and overwhelming.
