Oh I want to go back and actually finish NV. I bought it at launch and played, but when I actually got to NV it was such a disappointment that it took me out of the entire game, and I didn't get much further than that. I guess I got caught up in the in-game hype of New Vegas so much that I ended up with Paris Syndrome when I actually got there.
So I know I'm gonna have to restart, even if my save is somehow in the cloud because I have zero recollection of that game - having been nearly 13 years since I played now. And I don't have the time to start a Bethesda game and finish it so close to another one coming out.
Ha! Thats the first time I've heard of someone getting Paris syndrome in a game. It is definitely an overhyped location in game, but it probably doesn't help that its an overhyped location IN an overhyped game.
New Vegas is definitely a roleplaying masterpiece with great writing, but the actual level design and gameplay loop are mid af. It's great for when you wanna go around and kill some time/relax in a desert wasteland where you occasionally shoot mutant critters or Roman cosplayers while listening to some of the best Jazz and Country Western of the era, but outside of that it isn't the most fun world to explore and the gunplay is mid.
