Exciting progression system, amazing weapon / enemy variety and outstanding roleplay variety complete the circle. New Vegas still today stands as one of the most shining milestones for the RPG genre as a whole, sporting not only an impressively vast world with literally hundreds of quests (many of which are not even marked), but also maniacal care for detail in each character, location, lore entry and environment. If there is one title so intricate, full of secrets, quests, nuances to make even veterans of the genre lose themselves into it for countless hours, it would be this one.
The main story and characters encompassing it are interesting, well-written and coherent with the setting, making it grand at all times from start to finish, while the choices open up for many possibilities. From a much more useful crafting system, way better written and thought-out roleplaying to the entirely new weapon modding and deeper skill / perk systems, New Vegas’ gameplay is a timeless masterpiece in all aspects. New Vegas improves on all aspects that made Fallout 3 a solid RPG, also adding entirely new ones.
