    This might be my favourite game of all time.

Obsidian has really outdone Bethesda by creating an open world game that lets you go anywhere, but cleverly coerces you to find weapons, interesting quests, better armour, and without you even knowing it, you've gone from rags to riches just by playing the game and getting to know these amazing wastes. The brilliant thing about this game is it doesn't force you to do quests, or not let you go in any areas, but it subtly recommends it. By the time you are about to fight in the second battle of hoover dam, you feel like you earned all this. You feel like you know this place like the back of your hand. There is always so much to do, and even revisiting areas lets you find stuff you didn't find before, pick locks you couldn't pick before, and kill enemies you couldn't kill before. The sheer storytelling and happiness this game brings you makes it the best RPG- heck, the best game I have ever played. Obsidian really took fallout 3 and just made it a million times better. There is so much more stuff I could applaud this game for, like the optional hardcore mode, interesting lore, 4 completely different endings, how ALL of your choices effect the environment in some way, the absolute freedom the game gives you, but I don't have enough space and time to say it all. Thank you so much Obsidian, and Bethesda you're dicks for not giving them that bonus. Expand

    Before you rate this game, go review the circumstances it was made in. Those poor bastards didn't get the money they were due because they sold just a little less then they agreed on with Bethesda. Yet this game carries on it's shoulders so much. There is no excuse for not taking that into consideration if your review is below a 9.

    I love Fallout NV. It's my personal favorite Fallout game. It's really surprising how it took around 18 months to make yet has a better story line and has better game play then the game before it (Fallout 3). Sure It has many glitches here and there (And I may have used some for an advantage), but is pretty good otherwise.

FNV is a huge buggy mess, but besides that there is almost no flaw to this game as a whole. The story albeit, kind of cliche, is a vast improvement from Fallout 3, and I really appreciate how almost every single side quest can have several endings, all of which will result in different endings that are shown to you at the end of the game in the form of a slideshow. While this games story isn't the most serious thing every (far from it), that isn't what makes the beauty of FNV. The beauty of FNV comes from the near unlimited amount of things you can do, from finding snow globes, to the various DLCs, and on and on. However, this is without even mentioning mods. This is the best moddable game of all time, as the sheer amount of quests, weapons, houses, companions, etc. you can find around the internet make this game easily my most enjoyable game of all time. Mods easily take this game from maybe an 8.5 to a 10 in my book. Expand

The world of Fallout New Vegas is so interesting. Each landmark has its own backstory. The game is also full of many interesting characters. In my opinion, Fallout New Vegas has some of the best-written characters in any video game I have ever played. The obvious ones are Mr. House and Ceasar. There is a lot of room for roleplaying. There are so many different characters you can be and there is a lot of variety in the ways you can approach the game. You can go through the game without killing a single NPC. There is also not a single NPC that you cannot kill and the game always finds a way to progress the main story no matter what characters are dead. Fallout New Vegas is an absolute triumph and can only be described as one of the best RPGs ever made Expand

    This is an example of a true Fallout. Too bad the game came out early and a lot of bugs were not found. Interesting factions and a full open world in which you are free to make your character completely. More interesting characters compared to Fallout 3.

Understandably, a lot of people have issues with the bugs and dated graphics (even for when it released), but I have always held the opinion that if a game can't function very well, then the narrative must pick up the slack. Not only does Fallout: New Vegas pick up the slack, it gets a scissor lift and launches it into the stratosphere, made all the more impressive due to the fact that the game was developed in only 18 months. 10/10, would most definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a great open world RPG with a unique aesthetic and an intriguing story.

I now know that if I ever want to play a game for its RPG elements, exploration and setting, I'll always have somewhere to turn to. I tried to ingest as much of the Wasteland as I could, without stagnating my mental sanity, and found a world full of life (not much life actually). It's an immersive and believable world that didn't leave me alone until I got tired of it (never did), possibly even hindering my studies.

    I will set out some ratings from 0 to 10 to facilitate the final verdict:

    Presentation: 8/10
    Writing: 9/10
    Gameplay: 6/10
    Sound/Music: 7/10
    Graphics: 8/10 (for a 2010 game)
    Content: 10/10
    Optimization: -/10 (for a 2010 game, can't really tell)

    The way this game is built makes for an unprecedented replayability. The possible endings and storylines with the various factions in the game makes the overall content sky high, deserving of a rating 10 on Content. Also positive note to the possible companions, everyone had a lot of dialogue and even missions of their own, something you don't see a lot of.

    This game deserves a lot of praise, especially considering its short production time. This being an RPG, I decided to prioritise the writing and not the gameplay, so it's a 9/10 in my opinion.

The story is interesting and enticing, the humour is on point and the side quests are prone from sounding boring at first before creating one of the most memorable side stories in the whole series (The quest 'Come fly with me' is a great example).

Regardless, I would/have recommended it to everyone who'd listen to me and if you're like me and want to have more creativity with weapon customisation, I'd highly recommend cashing up 3 extra dollars for the gun runners arsenal dlc, which adds more weapon mods and ammo types.

    In the broadest strokes possible, New Vegas is set in a battleground between the 3 different economic modes and their different forms of social organisation formed after the Great War. There's the NCR, an early capitalist republic based around its water caravans; Caesar's Legion, a vast slaver army; and the ancient, tight-knit tribes of the Wasteland, "families of families". Each of theseIn the broadest strokes possible, New Vegas is set in a battleground between the 3 different economic modes and their different forms of social organisation formed after the Great War. There's the NCR, an early capitalist republic based around its water caravans; Caesar's Legion, a vast slaver army; and the ancient, tight-knit tribes of the Wasteland, "families of families". Each of these societies interact and exist independently of the Courier. The few tribes who end up classed as raiders (mainly the Vipers) have complicated histories, cultures, and interactions. Only in a few scattered settlements are left out of the loop.

    Fallout 4 has none of that. There are no states. There are no tribes. There are cities, which don't do anything, and exist solely so you can fast travel in, sell all your junk, and leave. Raider-tribals are replaced with nameless, identical "raiders", who are all insane and stupid, and respawn in the same places every 3 days to shoot at anyone who walks by for some reason (so they can put their heads on sticks and smell rotting human flesh all day I guess). Instead of forming tribes as they ventured out into the wastes, all the vault dwellers are either still cooped up in their vaults 2 centuries later (who knows how they're managing their populations) or dead for the SS to trample over on their way to the next terminal. Instead of mercs, there are Gunners (who despite supposedly being mercenaries are never actually seen being mercenaries), the most technologically advanced minor faction in the Commonwealth who should really be ruling the entire place by now, but instead spend their time doing insidious plots and shooting anyone they see for some reason. As soon as the story, which acts as a substitute for real worldbuilding, ends, so does any energy the cities of the Commonwealth ever had. I guess people have been too busy shooting at eachother for the last 200 years to do anything whatsoever.

    The factions themselves consist of Unexplained Evil Scientists, knights in shining power armour who moved in a massive military force after they found out the Unexplained Evil Scientists were there for some reason, a single man who makes you the general of an army just because you helped 4 people, and secret agents who free the Unexplained Evil Scientists' synth slaves. The only faction that has any actual connection to Commonwealth society is the Railroad, and they're the most absurdly underdeveloped (and that's saying something) of all of them.

    My favourite moment in FONV is when you enter the Strip for the first time, and you see NCR troopers stumbling around with Military Police trying to keep them walking in 1 direction. You've heard all the way to New Vegas about how troopers go to the strip to blow their pay on booze, slot machines and prostitutes, and here they are. These are real people, in a real army, in a real place, going to real institutions. They'll be stumbling around whether you're there or not.

    Great game. Was avoiding it for long time, because I thought, it's just little bigger DLC. Boy was I wrong, There is sooo many points of interests and locations, it took me about 50 hours to explore and finish the game. Just go and play it, it's worth every minute. Only thing I didn't like much is color palete used, everything is just brown :D

If you have the willingness to mod a game, and you also want an RPG adventure in a post-nuclear world, then you owe it to yourself to play this masterpiece. New Vegas gives the player so much freedom that no character is protected by plot armor. You can kill major characters (generals, politicians, leaders, businesspeople, etc) and still progress the main quest. The game also questions the player on ethical and moral questions. Moral questions are not as simple as the "do you want to genocide or not?" that you see in Mass Effect or the "do you want to nuke a town or not?" that you see in Fallout 3. Decisions force the player to think about what decision they will make rather than just choose generic good guy or generic bad guy. It's a refreshing take on moral choices that I wish more games took notes from. Expand

Of course the mods play a big role in making this game still actual over 10 years later but the icing on the cake is really the passion which was used to craft its world. I would recomend playing this game with all of the DLCs for the best experience because they add a lot of content and are well integrated into the main story. The combat is just like Fallout 3 but with a lot of weapon mods and unique weapons. The best thing that happened to the Fallout franchise was when Fo3 decided to port the franchise in the 3d world, but sadly as Fallout 4 and more than that, Fallout 76 demonstrated, Bethesda is not half as good as the original creators of the franchise in creating a good story and characters. Fallout 3 is not bad (also because it tries to imitate the first two games a lot, unlike Fallout 4) but Fallout New Vegas is simply the best form for this formula, mixing together the best writing and world building with a working gameplay and open world, Bethesda style.

A spin-off of the Fallout series, the game is set in a post-apocalyptic open world environment that encompasses a region consisting of Arizona, California, and Nevada. It is set in a world that deviated onto an alternate timeline thanks to Atomic Age technology, which eventually led to a global nuclear apocalypse in the year 2077 in an event referred to as "The Great War", caused by a major conflict between the U.S. and China over natural resources. The main story of New Vegas takes place in the year 2281, four years after the events of Fallout 3 and 204 years after the bombs fell. It is not a direct sequel, but does feature the return of several elements found in Fallout 2. Expand

    What's also amazing about it is the replayability and player choice when it comes to actions. No matter where you go or who you talk to, it seems like the game is always one step ahead you. Heck, in one of my playthroughs, I decided to skip the tutorial town and just run straight into the casino (a location meant for mid level players), and while the journey was tough, the game never held me back, but instead encouraged and rewarded me for being smart.

    If a simple single-purpose on-rails game such as Call of Duty had this many bugs, I would give it a bad rating. But Fallout is not that kind of game, there's a lot to it, so a lot that can go wrong. Luckily the modding community are doing a great job keeping this game alive, functional, pretty, dense with content and replayable.
    You know a game has a soul when the fans are working on it years later (I'm looking at you, V:tM-Bloodlines, Fallout 3, Elder Scrolls series, M&B)
