    The gunplay was clunky when it came out. FO3/NV very much had an “Oblivion with guns” feel to them.

    I’ve always primarily used VATS. Unarmed or melee focused builds can also be viable, but the early game is rough.

    As for mods, I would recommend a modlist. “Viva New Vegas” is one I’ve played with, currently doing a “Begin Again” playthrough - the latter adds a lot of the nicer features from Fallout 4 and includes Tale of Two Wastelands which combines FO3/NV into a single game, you can travel between each wasteland and bring all your stuff with you.

    Ultimately, these games aren’t really an FPS so the shooting will always feel a bit off. The story / dialogue / environmental storytelling are really where it’s at!






  • I got blind-sided by having Windows 11 pushed onto my workstation

    The upgrade is not automatic. You interacted with a prompt to approve the upgrade, you just might not realize it because it may have been on impulse.

    I manage Windows installations for tons of folks and I’ve never seen the level of repeated prompting / nagging you’re describing.

    For anyone who has wanted to stick with 10, it has been enough to decline the upgrade from the full screen prompt and then choose “Stay on Windows 10 for now” from Windows Update.

    It’s possible that your registry changes had something to do with your unusual experience. I run into a lot of folks who complain about OneDrive “ruining their computer” after they’ve tried some obscure method of disabling it when all they had to do was uninstall the program like any other.

    Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty Microsoft does wrong but compared to the Windows 10 shitshow I’ve found they’re actually handling this transition quite well.

    Reminder that a lot of these design trends are intended for the average basic user, not power users with strong preferences. They make up the majority and need quite a bit of handholding.
