Fallout: New Vegas - I thought I wanted more

I did.  I really did...think...I wanted more.  I LOVED Fallout 3 when it came out and I played it on PS3.  It was the shooter version of one of my all time favorite games, TES: Oblivion.  Despite the bugs that were in Fallout 3 (like the game freezing during the cinematic critical strike scenes causing you to hard reboot the system), the story, open world, choose your own adventure style of play was fantastic.  A few months ago, I had about $50 to invest in my next gaming experience after having finished AC2: Brotherhood.  I wanted another RPG to sink some time into and keep me from spending money, so I decided to pull the trigger on New Vegas.  Review scores were high, and I pretty much knew what I was getting.

Fallout: New Vegas - Hopeful or Full of Hype?

First, I'm a Fallout 3 fan. I poured nearly one hundred hours into the first play-through (I like to be stealthy and do EVERYTHING). I also went back and played another 20 hours as a Renegade just to try it out. So I can't believe I was authentically surprised when I saw the trailer for a new Fallout game by Bethesda!
