Instead they belong to factions and are at the very least cared about by others. Throughout the beginning of New Vegas it establishes that the familiar enemies of Fallout 3 are, here at least, not all cannon fodder for your character to mindlessly kill. This introduction of the super mutant kind is wildly different from Fallout 3, where they are nothing but a threat to all life in the Capital Wasteland. Even with just their voice, Tabitha earns pity as they seem to be a puppet leader with Rhonda, a companion who joins in on the radio, holding the real power in Utobitha (though this is further complicated should you meet Tabitha in-person). Despite their madness, they are still part of his flock and he mourns for them.Д«lack Mountain radio, whose signal fades in and out of range depending on your location, is the earliest players will be introduced to super mutants, though only via the voice of Tabitha. He chastises you, as well as the humans from nearby Novac, for killing the feral ghouls whose minds have rotted and reverted them to the most basic of instincts. You do so, most likely killing some feral ghouls along the way, to discover Jason Bright and his followers, all ghouls who seek to travel to the Great Beyond. You are also told by an intercom, with a voice reminiscent of the peaceful ghouls in Fallout 3, to make your way upstairs. You enter the building and discover many of them running about. Ghouls, often a source of fodder in Fallout 3, are first encountered in force at the REPCONN test site in New Vegas. Killing will now give you infamy with a certain faction, wearing faction armor can allow you to avoid fighting that group, and companions will make it clear their hatred and reasons for that hatred towards a certain faction. After all, New Vegas runs on a barely changed version of BethesdaвЂ™s Gamebryo engine, if not for the font color you may not even be able to tell the difference between the two.ДЇallout: New Vegas replaces generic super mutants and raiders with various factions clusters of people who share similar ideologies or circumstances and have gathered together in the wasteland of New Vegas and the surrounding land to survive.

Some of these elements remain, but because of the intentional changes made to other features, presentation, and imagery, it feels more like an inheritance from Fallout 3 than an intentional choice by Obsidian. Gone are super mutants and raiders, the ever present red markers on your mini-map that beckoned you to fill them with lead, and with the right perk choice, make them explode into gibs.

Now, a year later, IвЂ™m playing Fallout: New Vegas for the first time (that level 3 save file from 2015 doesnвЂ™t count) and can easily see the ways developer Obsidian reinterpreted the violence inherited from Fallout 3. No need to think about mowing down whatever moves when everything that moves is out to kill you and makes their home among the blood of other wanderers.

Full of super mutants and raiders who attacked on sight, slow-motion VATS executions that resulted in exploding heads, buildings full of mutilated corpses and torsos hung up on hooks, Fallout 3вЂІs Capital Wasteland was a place that beckoned the player to reflect its own violence back onto it.

About a year ago I started replaying Fallout 3 and noticed the way it handled the violence of the wasteland.
