Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition

I love this game so much. i played this through on console and was very suprised to see how well this plays on pc. Unfortunately it still crashes but thats very rare, so not to bad. Can be kind of hard to get into but very much so worth it

My favorite fallout game, no doubt about it, one of the few games where I am hunting for achievements. This game has a decent character customisation. You can adjust your apperaince (although there is room for improvement). The leveling system is nice. You get to distribute points between SPECIAL attributes in the beginning. Then every level you get points to invest in skills. And every few levels you get to choose a perk. The atmosphere is outstanding. It blends SCIFI, POST-APOCALYPSE and WESTERN. I really love the desert asthectics and the Las Vegas vibe. The world is fairly large and there are a lot of things to discover beside the main quest (although some dungeons might seem repetative to some folks). There are several different factions in the Mojave, each one with unique and interesting motivations and values and it's up to the player to choose which ones to side with. The game has several different endings which depend on the choices you make in the course of the game. There is a karma and faction reputation systems in place. You can be good, evil, a bit of both. Each faction will react to your actions. Unlike Fallout 3, this game offers an insane number of different weapons. There are plenty of side quests that reward you with xp and you do not have to grind to level up for the most part. the game might seem a bit linear in the beginning but it really opens up once you reach Vegas. There are several different sidekicks to choose from, each one with unique traits and bonuses. The game is not too hard although there are some challenging enemies that require you to level up and get better weapons. The character progression is great in my opinion. Not to mention that this game has great mod support. However, this game has its issues too. There are quite a few bugs, stability issues and such. But a lot of these can be fixed with a few mods without altering the gameplay. BEST GAME EVER. DISCLAIMER: Sorry for English errors.

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.
