When I did care, they were pointless.' So New Vegas adds new things to a game that are completely optional, as you just stated that you never used them, and that somehow makes it worse? More options in a roleplaying game make it worse? What 'convoluted features' are you even talking about? Magazines? Ammo types? Damage Thresholds? The fact that skills made more sense this time around? Like a Gatling Laser being an energy gun instead of 'big gun' that would put it in the same category as an over the shoulder slingshot? New Vegas felt too convoluted with features I rarely even cared enough to use. 'Fallout 3 was, in my opinion better as far as gameplay was concerned. If you want a community to hate you, you have to piss off that community. 'If I'm gonna be a homocidal lunatic, I want the credit I'm due goddamnit.' Gee it's almost as if people in tough times can only afford to give a - about them and their kin.

'the karma system determined which companions you could get and how the world responded to you.' You say that like the reputation system doesn't do that exact same thing but better. You know what else is retarded? Fawks thinking you're a bad person for blowing up that small town he never knew about and in fact all he does know is - he's read and that you helped him. Why would stealing from the NCR gain you badboy points that makes the legion or house look down on you? A better example would be why would killing Khans make Boomers hate you? They don't because that would be retarded. Karma in New Vegas is pointless because it doesn't make sense for it to have purpose.
