New Vegas was far better in every way. At least you could actually role play in New Vegas, Fallout 3; it's a finality to not be able to.
New vegas is better in every measurable and also every unmeasurable way.
The bigger question is probably this: Fallout 3: New Vegas or Fallout 4?
What is Fallout 3: New Vegas?
New Vegas still kills both of emQuote:

Still haven't gotten around to playing New Vegas yet. I have it, just haven't felt like playing it.
It's pretty amazing how New Vegas and Fallout 3 feel so different when using the same assets, engine, and, outside of some tweaks, mechanics. New Vegas is a masterpiece.
New Vegas > 4 > 3.Quote:

I haven't played 3 so NV for me
So far I am very much preferring NV to 4, but I did try it more last night and I am enjoying it again. Just not to the same degree. I wish I knew what my answers were because the key words they give you don't always match up with what I was expecting, there's much less conversation so far, and it's harder. I like that in NV I can go anywhere and do whatever in mostly any order, barring a few difficult areas. It's much easier to make it a unique experience I guess
I meant to have that : become a comma. :pQuote:

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
