This is why I prefer New Vegas. Why or why dont you?

Has your friend ever registered in here to tell us off? Because he kind of sounds like he would.

I sunk 40 hours into the game and I couldn't get to level 43 without just getting super bored with the repetitive nature of the quests, I mean, I told this story somewhere else on the forum but there was a point where I almost fell asleeep when fighting Ghouls on some abandoned factory even tho I was fighting a Legendary Reaver, like I got startled because I was in such Auto pilot that my brain decided to take a nap for 2 seconds.
I tried completing numerous Radiant quests at the same time (I have 8 Int in the game too so I am supposedly getting more experience per quest) and they wouldn't be enough, and I had been picking just the same perks for the past few levels and the only Perks I would be picking for the next ones would also be repeat perks so leveling wasn't even excting or reward. That's why I console commanded myself to level 270.

He hates NMA with a genuine passion, a worrying passion at that, again, without ever having browsed the site. He knows that people here like FO2, which in turn means they are his enemy. Not exaggerating, I have tried to explain the subtleties of life to him, regarding this in particular, but he isn't playing ball when it comes to liking/hating game-related things.

I'm at L68, and played on easy. However, you don't really need to do much questing, since the game showers enemies on you. Just take a walk through that Gunner Plaza or whatever, and you'll level up once or even twice, just from shooting all the people o_-
 
How is your friend? Sounds kind of disturbing...

But I was also Grinding companion relationship levels, and those were only grindable by doing quests. THen I discovered the Dogmeat trick which made Valentine, Piper and Curie's relationships high in no time, but Strong, Cait and McCready have no such exploit that I know of so grinding more radiant quests is all I have for those. There was also the fact that I felt no drive to level up or to discover more locations. The first because it would be a repetitive grind of choosing the same perks I had been choosing for the past 42 levels, the second I had already realized 20 levels prior that all locations I would find would just be generic enemy infested ruins. I had already completed all the quests of the game that had even a pretension of having a plot.

Heh, he's actually a decent person, I just have to steer him away from gaming topics, because he takes games very seriously.

And yes, sounds similar to my own playthrough really. By following quests, and doing the story, I landed on L40-some in the end. The next 28 levels were gained purely by moving from A to B, opening map locations, genociding mutants in between

Nice guy... sounds like my friends who call this place a cult (in a joky... sort of way...).

"Similar children play best" we say in Norwegian, and it's true - I'm a weirdo, and all my irl friends are as well. Weird is what I prefer - but - weird comes with serious reprecussions :D
Among my weird friends, he is by far the least uncomfortable to hang around with - so long as he doesn't talk about games. If he DOES talk about games, awkwardness quickly arises - "and then I snuck over to that guy, and I took a choking string out of my pocket, and choked the guy from behind! He gurgled and struggled and - " *bus passengers staring at us in disbelief*
 
As much as I agree with the sentiment in the OP, I hate that picture. It creates a very poor precedent for how we judge the games. I don't like New Vegas more because it has more Quests, I like it more because those Quests are better written. Fallout 4 technically has infinite side quests due to the "hurr durr go to location A and kill raider/mutant/ghoul group B even though you've done with about 20 times before". However those quests are barely even written. I'd take 2 of Fallout New Vegas' Sidequests over the infinite garbage of 4.
