Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition

A huge world to explore, lots of quests and decisions, tons of items and great replay value are reason enough to pick up this fine roleplaying sequel. Great dialogues and characters as well as the option to solve quests in multiple ways involving the use of your character skills. Nothing that cant be fixed by the impressive mod community. Solid purchase of a game that will last you quite awhile.

Nuff said, yeah, this is it. You want to play REAL Fallout, but don't like the old and 2D graphics? This game for you.

This is a good game but I'm more of an FPS player than RPG so I think that's why I preferred Fallout 3 I guess the beauty of it is it’s designed to be playable whether you’re mainly an FPS or RPG player. So while F3 does have a lot of plot and choices to make, it felt well balanced, but FNV just seems too plot-heavy for me, with not enough opportunities to step away from the main plot and then return to it. I constantly felt weighed down with the implications of everything I was doing in a way that F3 didn’t do (even though I’m not sure it makes that much difference barring how many enemies you do/don’t want to make). And nothing can replace the brilliant beginning to F3 that sets up that world and the character's life within it. To be fair this game doesn’t even try to set things up, instead it just assumes you’ve already played F3. In some ways, while it has its own DLCs, it almost feels like a large DLC itself and the map felt a little smaller than F3. I did really like two of the expansions – Dead Money and Honest Hearts – in very different ways these maps were really impressive and introduced good new characters. FNV feels overwhelming at first, with the amount of items to pick up and recipes for making things, which feels exponentially expanded since F3. After a while though, I realised I could beat the game, even on its hardest setting, by focussing on what I enjoy, which is problem solving and shooting . So if you’re the same kind of player than me then I’d recommend ignoring all food and drink and allocating no points to survival skills, also no points to melee (unless you enjoy it ofc.) I focussed on building my key skills quickly, including hacking, guns, speech, strength, lockpicking and medicine. And I didn’t use VATS once – it just negates all the fun.

Fallout: New Vegas is an excellent roleplaying game. It is a terrible first person shooter. If you are a fan of quality RPGs and you are willing to overlook the glaring technical issues regarding gunplay and combat in general, the story and writing is so good that you can almost forgive these shortcomings. It isn't the best in the Fallout series, but it is one of the best. I really loved this game when I was younger, but as I've gotten older I find that the core gameplay is largely inexcusable although I was willing to give it a replay because the writing is just that good.

if you are new to these type of games I think you will like it very Very much, but the best thing about FNV on the pc is the huge Modding community that have mods that can change\improve pretty much everything, just do a google search for FNV mods and you will be in business! you can replace the body type of the in-game npc's make the world look better, the list really seems never ending, or if you are the creative type then you can use the G.E.C.K. to make your own quests, npc's or just about anything, this game really is one of the best games out there for modding and tinkering with the game engine. I am really really hoping that GOG will get their hand on SKYRIM one day because I am really not a big fan of STEAM, my fingers are crossed....get this game and download the FalloutModManager (fomm) and then download and install your mods using fomm and enjoy!
