I need to play 3...because I basically live in DC and I'll be freaking out because I've been to those places so many times. Actually, maybe I shouldn't play 3 because it hits so close to home. XD
I loved NV too. 3 was a good lead-in to it, but NV definitely felt better in terms of story telling and what there was to do. 3 had dead-on accurate locations though - I'd visited my ex in DC a number of years ago and *recognized locations* in the game...
Everyone tells me Fallout 3 is better, but I don't see how anyone couldn't love New Vegas. Then again, NV is the only one I've played so far, but I think it's going to still be my favorite of the Fallout games. Also thanks for enjoying my doll. xD (Fyi, the dog is supposed to be Rex. I love that doggy.)
