Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition

Track down your nemesis, and decide his fate. Train military misfits to survive in battle, or lie about your skills and let them suffer the consequences. Save a dictator's life from a brain tumor, or let nature take its course. Work with the status quo, or against it. .308 or surplus ammo. FNV's greatest strength lies in the weight of every decision you make. It's not just about shooting the wrong guy and having other guys come after you - your dialogue, your actions, and how, when and with whom you do them carve your story. And it should go without saying: mod the game and make your story truly yours.

I played a massive amount of Fallout New Vegas on Steam, and it was the game that brought me back to try Fallout a second time after the awful Fallout 3 turned me away from it for 3 years (haha, funny). This game is still the best 3D Fallout ever made, even in spite of how little time Obsidian was given. With a more sensibly written main narrative, the return of the tone and humor of the OG games, and far more content and features that make this the best Fallout RPG you'll find. Also make sure to get this version, as it feels far better than the Steam version. Just throwing it out there.

Without a doubt the greatest Fallout game, even compared to the first two. It's everything Fallout 3 promised to be and then some. This is easily the game I play the most. I've sunk around 1000 hours into this it, and will definitely sink hundreds more. The replayability value of this game is insane. How is it even possible to have a story so good, huge, and malleable all at once? The scale of the plot, map, and mechanics is ridiculous. Games like Fallout 3 make you think that if you want quanitity you have to sacrifice quality, but Obsidian is here to show you otherwise, bringing you one of the greatest and biggest video game plots of all time. There are four different major paths you can take in the game, three of which are basically their own games since you won't have the quests for the other two available once you've picked one. And this is all besides the absolutely RIDICULOUS number of locations, most of which has its own little plot, the handfdul of companions, each of which has its own plot, and the thoroughly excellent and huge DLC, all of which takes place on new maps. The number of weapons and items in general, different solutions to problems, and different enemies and characters is mind boggling. All this is wrapped up in DEEP RPG gameplay that heavily fecilitates actual role playing and a beautiful and thought provoking political plot. Play this game. Then do it again. And again. And again.

Be like most people and play it through as a good guy: Help people, do good things, be good and moral and just. It's a tremendous amount of fun and completely satisfying as an Angel of the Mojave. Or, take a walk on the dark side of life and be a completely evil rascal. Do horrible, awful things to innocent people who don't deserve it, Just to be a narcissistic, self-serving asshole. This is also a tremendous amount of fun although personally I've found that Destroyer of the Mojave isn't quite as satisfying. But that's just me. You are free to do you. Fallout New Vegas has got you covered either way, or any point in between. There are seemingly infinite paths through this game, and all are deep and rich, and exciting and satisfying. You'll play it through several times and be amazed at how many different ways there are of doing things. In short, this game is legendary for a lot of solid reasons that will not disappoint. If you're on the fence about this one just get off the fence and jump in.
