Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition

Now let me tell you, this game is frickin' awesome. Your actions have consequences in this world, What you do will resonate through your play-through. Almost every quest will have an interesting story attached to it. There are a few fetch quests, but these generally serve as an introduction to "build trust" with the quest giver. Once you complete the initial fetch-quest, you'll be tasked with the ACTUAL quest. In this game you are free to play as you want. You can ignore most of the quests and kill pretty much anyone, and the game will adapt. Player freedom is much better developed than in most other games, plus the story is actually interesting. This game is best enjoyed when taking it slow, savor the quests and explore the dialog options. There are some problems though: The technical state of the game is not good, you WILL need to use mods, in fact it will likely take you at least a whole day to get the game set up to a state where you enjoy playing it. It's totally worth the effort, but be aware that you need to invest some time into setting up the game, this is no plug and play experience. The gunplay is slightly better than FO3, but still not good, the erratic animations of Bethesda's engine still make it hard to hit anything outside of VATS. Graphics are rather ugly too (same as FO3, except it's now orange-brown instead of greenish-grey), though you can improve it rather a lot with ENBs (check out Jay's ENB). Still, in spite of these flaws, the RPG experience in this game in terms of player choice and immersion is amazing and FO:NV is highly replayable, since you got multiple factions with detailed backstories and diverging quests. Overall the game is highly recommended, but be aware that you'll need to put in some time and effort to get it to work properly.

Like in the topic. Obsidian made the best fallout with archaic engine which isn't their and with very small amount of time. Fallout 4 had a chance to raise the pole but it didn't happen. New Vegas has it all, cool missions and characters but most important thing is the story and choices which player can choose.

playing 200 h on this game i found the narration really cool, original. The quest are really cool but but its weak point is the present bunch of bug because obsidian could not correct the game in time because of the contract with bethesda for a metacritic of 84 instead of 85 ppff. And now besthesda does not even know how to make a good fallout by themselves, if he had accepted obsidian for their narrative talents the last 2 games of bethesda would have taken another turn. and why i put 5/5 star because the game. Well because it's only a true fallout

This is the best modern fallout. Forget the Fallout 76 Nonsense and the disappointment that was Fallout 4. This is post-apocalyptic storytelling at its best. Obsidian knows whats it doing. Unlike Bethesda.

NOTE: This game deserves a detailed review which does not fit here as GOG format is limited to 2000 characters, so here is only a part of my original review. The full review of Fallout: New Vegas - Ultimate Edition for PC is posted on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/review/R369KVEHZVOA9W?ref_=glimp_1rv_cl [...] EDITED: Added section on a DLC (Old World Blues); Added section on enemy AI. EDITED: Added comment on memory leak induced crashes (see CONS for details/fix) NOTE: This review is for Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition (PC), not any other version of this game. Content: I. Introduction II. Cons III. Pros IV. Enemy AI V. Final thoughts I. Introduction [...] Some years ago, when Fallout: New Vegas (FONV) first launched there were many reports that it was very buggy, crashed a lot and was downright unplayable, so I stayed away from it back then. Now I decided to give it a shot and I am supremely happy that I did. To find out why, read on. II. Cons The negatives of this game are few and far between, so let's get them out of the way from the start. [...] III. Pros (also see section IV on enemy AI) This is the best Fallout game ever made (yes, better than Fallout 4 too). It learns the lessons of all Fallout games that came before it, it also learns the lessons from other, non-Fallout games and incorporates them all in FONV brilliantly. LORE AND STUFF: FONV builds perfectly on the lore of all previous Fallout games and includes all of their very best features, including music and items. FONV takes place years after the events of Fallout 2 and 3 but you will encounter many situations which allow you to relive the most glorious moments and the most touching friendships of the past. I will give you a few "spoilers", but trust me, what I will tell you to illustrate the above point is just a drop in the bucket and will not ruin the game for you. First, nearly all bugs which existed in the original version of FONV are gone. [...]
