Fallout 3 vs New Vegas

Fallout 3 + Fallout 4 + Fallout 76 + %any_bethedas_fallout% < Fallout: New Vegas

 

Unlike Obisidan's New Vegas, Bethesda can't into rich story telling, characters development, interesting dialogs, world conflicts and factions development. They make good looter-shooter games or dungeon crawlers, but not RPGs. New Vegas is one huge complex mechanism: everything works in New Vegas - every place has it's meaning to it, you can see how many people involved in conflict over Hoover Dam, there are backstory for everything and almost every NPC has it's story to tell or quest to give. There are no "bad" or "good" in New Vegas, it's for player to decide how New Vegas chapter should end. Sadly language barrier won't allow me to tell how good (almost perfect I should say) Fallout: New Vegas is as RPG, but still, there are people who prefer more silly and unserious take on Fallout like 3 and 4 games, both are suitable if you like to walk for quest marker without thinking why things are happening this way.

I recently replayed the GOTY of 3 and was hooked. Playing every night until I had 100 percent. Started New Vegas again and have only played a few missions. I know NV is objectively better, but 3 seemed to hook me this time round. In short, NV > 4 > 3 > Shelter > 76

Enjoyed Fallout 3's story more the first time I played it in Fallout 1 and 2.

In general fallout new vegas

 

On ps3, fallout 3 because it doesn't turn into a slideshow when the save gets too big.
