i think FNV falls squarely between fallout 1 and 2 in the silly realm, which is exactly where I wanted it to be.  The game is not as good as fallout 1 or 2, but its close enough that I'm proud to call it a fallout game. 
  
also:  stalker and fallout are not the same setting and wishing fallout was more like stalker, a game that came out ten years later, is a little silly imo. 
  
fallout is great in part because it has a unique setting, stalkers setting is cool too, but i wouldnt want the two combined, people asking for such are clearly not huge fallout fans and thus should be ignored and/or burned at the stake for heresy  
  
 
  
love you guys
