If you’ve been reading every day since I first set out on this 30 Day Video Game Challenge, it’s no secret that I don’t enjoy shooters. They’re just not for me. So of course Fallout was not the game for me. Or so I thought.
I was talked into trying Fallout: New Vegas by my husband (then long distance boyfriend) years after it had come out. I had low expectations of this game. Sure, I loved Skyrim by Bethesda, but sneaking around with my bow was so different from running through the desert with a gun. I was so wrong.
The first thing we did was mod the hell out New Vegas on my computer. I let Alec pick several mods for me to download first and then I went after aesthetic mods. I love character modeling so I made sure to get lots of hair, faces, and other character-related mods. Then I tackled a few environment mods and loaded them all up on my little lap top.
It was a lot of fun playing New Vegas. I essentially let my companions take on the violence while I ran around questing and talking to everyone. If I did had to fight, I tried to use melee means to get things done. The VATS system was extremely helpful as I can’t aim for anything.
I wouldn’t call myself “converted” but New Vegas was a step towards First Person Shooters for me. Maybe I’ll be more open to giving them a try.

What game did you think you wouldn’t like, but ended up loving? Let me know in the comments!
The very last one, huh? I almost don’t want to say for fear of endings. But, alas, here goes.
Plants vs. Zombies.
Things I don’t tend to like in video games.
– Plants
– Zombies
– Casual games
– Tower Defense Games
And yet I adore Plants vs. Zombies so much. I’m not even sure why. Maybe the music’s good? Maybe the surprisingly deep strategy? No idea.

I still haven’t played a Fallout Game but eventually, I will try it out haha. For my game, I always put Minecraft out there. I did NOT want to start playing Minecraft but my friends kept begging and pleading so I eventually gave in. It was sooo annoying to me punching cows and trees and then 1 day… something clicked. I don’t know what it was or why it happened but now I LOVE Minecraft and will continue to waste hours of my life away on the game haha. I’m happy that you were able to complete the 30 day challenge and CONGRATULATIONS!

Firewatch. My husband downloaded it for me and I was skeptical. I ended up finishing it pretty quick!

Wow, that looks like my kind of game. I’ll have to check that out! Isn’t it amazing how spouses “just know” when a game is perfect for us?
