If anyone wants to play Fallout 3 and New Vegas, just look up "Tale of Two Wastelands mod". It basically combines both games (you can still play them separately) and makes it so Fallout 3 runs on New Vegas' game engine. It's totally worth it.

There's just something about Fallout 3... It's not pretty, it's clunky, and there are like three voice actors total, but, in my opinion, it's still one of the greatest 3D RPGs. The dialogue choices, characters, skills, atmosphere, and exploration made this the staple of what I've considered a proper RPG for more than half of my life now.

Fallout 3 was a fantastic game. I like New Vegas more than that. The story was great. The gameplay was fantastic. The quest was amazing. Some side quests that I don't like. DLCs were fantastic, but some DLCs that I don't like. I used to play this since came out, and it was my first Fallout game. It brings me back memories. It was a great game
