Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition

I sunk 282 hours into this game after probably spending 150 hours modding it. And imo it truly needed it. I is a massively different game from the original vision, while I stuck to a fairly vanilla experience gameplay wise. The MVP of the whole show is definitely the writing and Obsidians committment to branching choices and how they effect the outcome of everything. Its such a shame that it needed the Fallout TV show for me to play this, because I already loved 1&2 so much and with some gripes like FO 3 very much. For everyone who likes a game that takes you and your decisions serious, just get this game. Its on sale so often and get the Ultimate Edition! They tie into the game quite nicely. Just don´t get it if you are not willing to mod the game. I recommend either the Modpack Viva New Vegas or Tale of Two Wastelands if you want to tie FO 3 and NV together. And for an additional overhaul get Salvo. The former two ensure the best stability and I think both even provide Wabbajack packs, which makes it way faster than what I did modding wise. Just don´t miss out on this masterpiece. And it could all be relevant to season 2 for those who watch the TV series.

I never thought, that Fallout: New Vegas will ever appear on GOG DRM-free. This game is one of the best RPGs ever, with many possibilities of character and story progression. Great job GOG & Bethesda! Thanks!

The best Fallout made to date, I will never forget my first time playing this game, I liked Fallout 3, but after New Vegas, I learned just how good RPG's could become, this game gives you the true RPG experience, and not the linear, you-only-choose-what-to-say-"RPG's" If you haven't picked this up yet because Fallout 3 disappointing you, I hear you, this is nothing like Fallout 3, and actually respects the source material(Super Mutants aren't just angry orcs, for instance), I'm definitely buying it on GOG, not only to support this masterpiece, but also get access to the DLC's.

I've spent too much time playing and modding this game. I really liked Fallout 1+2 as a kid but I've played this one to death. Alas, this is probably the last Fallout game I'll play as I generally don't like the direction the "new" stewards of the franchise are taking it. I really hope that my fears about the recently showcased 76 go unfounded. Ahem. Anyways FONV is great. I had more fun with just exploration, mods, and the dlc over the main story line. The later isn't bad, but I feel like obsidian could have done better with making some of the branching story more intuitive to navigate (as in the choices).

This game as sold is nearly completely non functional on many windows 10 systems. It requires extensive forum searching, patching, modding, missing required direct x files, etc. This is a known and frequently reported issue with the game. It is irresponsible to mention that this game "Works on " Windows 10" when the GOG forums are flooded with those with Windows 10 unable to get the vanilla game to function. Great game, bad implementation.
