New Vegas was developed by Obsidian in Fallout 3's assets however the majority of the game is based on the political and factional conflicts you see - the writing is generally regarded as some of the best in any RPG ever. New Vegas has more and better side content than Fallout 3 at the cost of a less interesting map. I prefer NV over 3, but karma in NV really, and i mean REALLY, sucked. And Fallout 2 > NV, you have a car, nothing can beat that! LiquidCsOH 6 years ago #36. Fallout 3 = Oblivion with guns. Should have been titled "Fallout: DC". Fallout NV = The real Fallout 3. Get the Witcher 3 and the dlc. So much better than Fallout 4. To be fair towards The Witcher 3, it is still widely seen as one of the best-rated games of all time while Fallout 4 is just up there in the sea of pretty good games. Fallout 4 isn't a bad game, but it is being compared to one of the best. Whereas Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 are Bethesda's take and Fallout Tactics is its own brand. Fallout NV also has more RPG aspects and emphasis on dialogue choices. Fallout 4 has a better combat system though. Fallout NV plays more like the classic Fallout games except its 3d. You have much more importance on stats than just aim. 3 has like no personality what-so-ever to it. It's all just the same bland grey featureless landscape and buildings. NV was better at it but ehhh still had problems. Fallout 4 has color, personality and looks really good. I'll take having color and unique looking buildings over depressing landscape any day. 4. Better map, its just not all desert and it doesnt railroad you, its fun to explore. 6.- War is better and in big scale than Fallout New Vegas, you have a epic battle with a robot and the enclave, and in the US airport with a big giant tank that has interiors, and BOS is a its peak. If you say A, you must also say B. Fallout 3 has better atmosphere, more Fallout-y tone, better locations, actual exploration, more interesting factions, better side quests, better DLCs, better motivation of the player character that isn't "I'm going to meddle with New Vegas struggle for power, because the game forces me to", better morality The difference is that we have a bunch of performance optimisations aimed at New Vegas, so thanks to the fans, a modded NV runs better than a modded FO3. Tale of Two Wastelands [taleoftwowastelands.com] uses New Vegases newer engine to make Fallout 3 a better experience. Similar to Skywind, Morroblivion, and Skyblivion for TES games. GPU: Saphire 1GB 5850@840/1140. new vegas. you can see how the rocks are angular, stuck on, and as you walk can have flickering triangles. the colours are wrong. doesnt look stylised as well, like FO3 you get a sense of the 1950`s. there is not much haze, around the rocks the geometry is low. Fallout 3. At least Fallout 76 never actually broke people's hard drives. From a pure gameplay standpoint, gunplay, world design, exploration and so on, i would even agree, yes. As an actual RPG with well written questlines and NPC, ♥♥♥♥ no. New Vegas craps all over Fallout 76 in those regards. 76 is barely a RPG. rqahcv.
