fallout new vegas is gud.
its not even half the size of fallout 3 map though, and it is actually super janky by comparison.
but the weapon variety and content and quest stuffs are more numerous.
i like it just slightly better than fo3.

but fo3 really is much more refined, its a large difference.
for starters the game never crashed on me. and i made the assumption i could also play new vegas this way with sane mods and zero problems. oh gosh how that its impossible. the vegas anticrash mod is actually something which handles the fucking stack of the game. its not a bug patch.
the gameplay of fallout 3 is actually much smoother and balanced despite the vanilla gunplay sucking ass. there is much more competency to character progression and item acquisition. i was also able to do a flat out 2x damage boost given/taken and it really kicked the combat into high gear perfectly. thats really all it needed.
fnv is totally different.

plus in fallout 3 those darn enemies scalled absolutely marvelous and far beyond the level cao. the spawns kept growing and the elite ranks were also perfectly scaling in line to it. all the way to 70 which is 40 levels above cap and where i moved onto new vegas. it would have certainly gone to 99. fo3 is really the only bethesda game which does this, until i confirm the same behaviour with fnv at least.
