However there was a large number of bugs when FNV came out ranging from player characters arms blocking the screen when sneaking, broken quests and crashes, although story & gameplay is just strong enough to get us to forgive the buggy launch state and once the patches rolled out we were left with truly one of the best games of 2010. Fallout NV brings back a darker tone with mature themes and issues that would be more prevalent in the nuclear post apocalypse, that's filled with a great cast of characters to meet. Obsidians Fallout New Vegas takes the foundations of Fallout 3 by Bethesda and not only improves it but also expands on it, bringing a deeper Obsidians Fallout New Vegas takes the foundations of Fallout 3 by Bethesda and not only improves it but also expands on it, bringing a deeper and more connected role playing experience to the player and their character in short Fallout NV dose what Fallout 2 did for Fallout 1, taking the frame work of the successful past game (Fallout 3) and improving it in almost everyway with the return of the trait system of the original Fallout games, iron sights, hardcore mode and most importantly more player choice. Really though the best way to describe it is it makes the fallout 3 world seem boring. If it wasn't for the mods i would have to take off a point or 2. Oh and if you get stuttering get the d3d9 file, and if you have ati get the alternative d3d9 file so you can still use transparency mutisampling. Im already using over 10 mods just as longer days, smaller ui, centered raised camera, perk every level etc. But literally a new mod is released by the hour since they only have to be ported over. Of course your on the same engine, so some of the same problems exist. Really a lot more depth in the world and just overall better.

Obsidian has taken a decent game and made it great. Take fallout 3, expand it, add more diversity, add more interesting locations, triple the amount of factions, add a better theme, and add more immersion and you have fallout NV. Take fallout 3, expand it, add more diversity, add more interesting locations, triple the amount of 27 hours in, just getting started.
