A flawed masterpiece that had alot going against it but rose through the muck to be one fantastic game. Its certainly not perfect and frankly is relatively incomplete due to the short development but by god does it try and have alot of love in it which is something you cant say about many AAA titles out there recently. The people who made this were responsible for Fallout 2 and after having the franchise taken from them by Bethesda couldn't finish their own version of Fallout 3. So once given a chance to make another Fallout they utilized what time they were given to finish what they could and say goodbye to their franchise and they went out with the bang that was Fallout: New Vegas. Bethesda in all their infinite wisdom chose rather than work with Obsidian on a franchise they essentially made that they would shove it over to Todd Howard and his team who could not give less of a crap about what the original Fallouts were about making some incredibly superficial games with little to no substance that has split the fanbase. Essentially this is probably the last Fallout that will be headed by the people who knew and loved what the franchise was, despite all the crap Bethesda gave them when it came to development time, budget, and bonuses along with glitches and various other issues this game had on release it persevered. Resonating with fans enough to fix issues they couldn't Obsidian couldn't fix on their time and create one of the most vast modding communities I've ever seen. If you haven't played it you definitely should.
