About
Fallout: New Vegas is the second instalment after the reboot of the Fallout series and a fourth instalment in the franchise itself. Being a spin-off and developed by a different studio, Obsidian Entertainment, Fallout: New Vegas follows the Courier as he's ambushed by a gang lead by Benny, stealing a Platinum Chip and heavily wounded, practically left for dead. As he wakes up, he minds himself in the company of Doc Mitchell who saved our protagonist and patches him up. This section of the game is given for customising your characters, picking traits and the look of the main hero before embarking on his journey to retrieve Platinum Chip.
New Vegas has very similar gameplay to Fallout 3 with a few improvements, such as iron sights for most of the guns, new animations for VATS kills, new perk Survivor, which allowed you to have more benefits from drinks and food you could craft and gambling in the casinos. Expanded crafting system, weapon modification system force player to scavenge for resources. Reputation system was reintroduced in New Vegas as old reputation system from Fallout 2, with Karma making a serious impact on the game.

Fallout: New Vegas reviews and comments
Third act is ruined whole game for me, because there is no ending that I want to choose at least a little. And the worst thing that you can't properly talk to anyone.
[SPOILER] When House says go kill BoS there is no option for you to talk to them about this AT ALL, that's crazy. Before going to House you can't speak with Yes-Man again, that's crazy too, it's like roleplaying game stops being roleplaying. After checking all endings on wiki I think that NCR one is actually the best. [SPOILER]
Overall, there are plenty of good quests, plenty of bad, main quest is really good only for first two acts then game changes dramatically.
If you gonna play it without mods, you will see that game aged badly.
One of the worst things for open-world game is that pretty soon it's becoming simply uninteresting to discover this world, because almost nothing happens, all caves starts to look the same also as enemies and npcs.
And after reaching level 50 (that's not hard thing to do at all, I got from 20 to 50 only by completing DLCs) there is no more progression, but there is still a lot of content in the game and honestly, this is stupid.
What I REALLY recommend is DLCs - they are great. (though I didn't like "Old World Blues", but plenty of people likes it).
This game became a classic already a while ago and it's had giant base of fans and I was really surprised how not many of them talks about awful third act. History says that game was developing in rush and they cut out plenty of stuff from game and especially third act and unfortunately it's very noticeable.
Thank you, Chris Avellone! Thank you Obsidian Entertainment! And fuck you Bethesda!
