    Default Fallout 3 vs. New Vegas

    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?

    While I'm sure Fallout: New Vegas is probably the better game in terms of things you can do, plot etc., I enjoyed Fallout 3 more.

    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.

    In terms of pure shooting/combat mechanics then 4 is superior but the writing in New Vegas and the options and relative freedoms it gives you is unparalleled. Though I'd also say 3 beats 4 in that regard, just as, controversial opinion time, Oblivion beats Skyrim with that too.

    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

    Totally agree. Oblivion gave the ability to craft your own spells and use the mechanic oh then how you like. You could make a lightning fire dagger, or a multi tiered shield spell and give good defense to your clothes wearing wizard. So much utility

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