Fallout: New Vegas<\/a> when it came out a few years later. It\u2019s easy to look at New Vegas as another expansion to go along with the other five for 3, but it\u2019s more than that. If you\u2019re someone who was turned off by Bethesda\u2019s departure from what the series is typically known for, New Vegas is more your jam.<\/p>\n\n\n\nInstead of playing as a Vault Dweller, New Vegas puts you in the shoes of a courier tasked with delivering a package through the Mojave Desert to New Vegas. Naturally, it doesn\u2019t end well; in fact, it ends with you getting robbed, shot in the face, and left for dead. After you\u2019re brought back from the brink of death, you pursue your would-be killer for revenge, which balloons into something bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although Fallout: New Vegas uses the same engine as Fallout 3, its masterful writing needs to be experienced by every fan of the franchise. It oozes charm and humor, and the story does a great job bringing you into the world, despite the engine\u2019s goofy glitches trying their hardest to break your immersion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New Vegas brought back a reputation system, a mechanic absent from the series for a while. It generally revolves around different factions present in the Mojave Desert, and following through one provides unique endings. As if that didn\u2019t offer enough playability, there\u2019s a hardcore mode, too. Healing is gradual and you\u2019ll have to eat, sleep, and drink to keep on living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regardless of where each game falls on your personal scale, we can all agree Fallout is pretty awesome. I hope to see the next entry bloom into something even greater than its predecessors!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
