An amazing game that everyone should play. Endless choices and amazing writing. Zion is worth a visit.

This is a pretty controversial take in the gaming world, but honestly, I just didn't get Fallout New Vegas. For the most part, I liked the stories of the game. The engaging questlines were what kept me playing for as long as I did. However, the gameplay is what brings this down so much for me. I spent most of my time in combat using guns and it always just felt clunky and unsatisfying to me. There are options to avoid combat, but even those options usually end up being some form of a persuasion check. While I'm glad that these alternative options are there, it does still feel like I'm just skipping over a lot of the content, which left me less engaged, and thus less invested in the story which had been dragging me along. Exploring the map also gets boring after a while. When you are first exploring the map, it is fun. Finding a place mentioned in a log entry and filing out the lore in my head was fun, but after all the iconic locations are discovered, exploring all parts of the map felt like a chore. The games' faults may be chalked up to it being older, and me deciding to play it on older hardware (Xbox 360), but it really just does not hold up to my modern standards of how a game should play and feel.

This game is hideous to look at and has been since launch. That doesn’t change the fact that it very well might be the best written video game out there. Obsidian absolutely transcends the Bethesda jank that was given to them as a base. The best Fallout game and it’s not up for debate.

This is my first game from Bethesda and it really entertained me. I spent more than 100 hours in the game and really enjoyed every new experience in the game. If gameplay is important to you. You shouldn't go there, but if you have no problem with old games and you like rpg games, I definitely recommend it
