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.

This is my first Fallout game and I must say I'm in LOVE with it! You can literally spend hundreds of hours playing the game without getting bored because... For starters, this game has by far THE BEST replay value of any game I've ever played due to the way the storyline progresses. It's very dynamic and unfolds according to the choices you make. Your every single step has a direct or indirect consequence(s) which makes each playthrough absolutely unique. The reason I'm giving it "only" 4 out of 5 stars is because it sometimes crashes on my Windows 8.1 Pro system, especially during loading screen. One time, the game completely erased my Nvidia driver (for some odd reason) and I'd to re-install it, which was admittedly a bit unnerving! With that said, it ran flawlessly on my previous Windows 7 Ultimate machine so maybe it doesn't like to run on Windows 8.1?! The instability issue is about the only complaint I've about this game. Final words: At the discount price of just $6, it's worth every single penny and even at $20 it's a real bargain, given the sheer replayability. As I stated before, you can literally spend hours upon hours with this game without getting bored! Let's hope GOG launch Fallout 4 soon!

After installing Viva new Vegas mods, I experienced the ultimate Fallout kick out of this. It is a great game, still even after more than 14 years after release. Definitely recommend.

Still one of the best crpgs out there and that win10 crash is easy to fix. On my machine the fresh install constantly crashed :( Windows 10 Pro 64-bit AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor 4x 16GB RAM MSI MEG X570 UNIFY Motherboard AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT On my fresh installation I added the: NVSE (new vegas script extender) and NVAC (new vegas anti crash) - get those at nexusmods That fixed it for me to play the game again. Enjoy!

for real this time! As for crashes: i play vanilla vegas with script extender and tick fix (vanilla enough) no crashes, no issues this version is patched for 4GB memory which is nice As for game: New Vegas is best RPG ever made as for DLC: you start with 200kg of loot from dlc items xD very stupid way to undermine the start and earlygame obsidion... DLC throw pop ups at you like possessed... Unofficial Patch makes the game worse to play and remove all fun exploits as for Graphics: bad, even with mods its not great as for gameplay: mid, i like ability to attack enemy in the arm and take their weapon as for Fallout: game have a lot of improvements from Fallout 2, but i miss the magic of jinxed perk :) im bias 10/10, its hard to find better game, i like comparing games to it to make them look worse
