It's been sitting in my Steam library forever when I got it for $5, but didn't install it cause my internet was too slow (1 day and a half). What am I to expect? Only Fallout game I've played was Shelter. I've also played Skyrim which I liked.

You have more options for customization and you get xp for killing enemies and completing tasks rather than improving skills by using them

One nice thing is all of the opportunities you have to complete tasks through skill checks in dialogue

it's pretty much the best fallout game and arguably (definitely imo) better than any elder scrolls game. just watch out for cazadors.

Fallout 3=Fallout NV>>>>>>Skyrim>Fallout 4 (IMO).

Fallouts also have VATs, which gives you a more turned based option in combat (or a combo), which has a more RPG feel. I really liked VATS in 3/NV.

Also has more RPG/Level feel..where you control how your character advances etc directly through levleling etc....which you do in a more traditional RPG manner by killing stuff and finishing quests (instead of just by using things.

Best fallout game for the simple fact that it's the best of both worlds: Fallout 3's fighting with Fallout 1 and 2's emphasis on dialog and alternative solutions

All of Bethesda's RPGs are glitches that contains a slight semblance of a game.

You will have fun for a few days opening up quests and collecting better stuff.. Then you will find a flaw in your character or a missed opportunity you wished you'd taken..
Vow to make another character then stop playing.

Download Fallout 3 as well. Then install Tale of Two Wastelands. Now also install Energy Shields TTW. Enjoy. Now you can play the entirety of Fallout 3 and New Vegas as the same dude. It's a huge and incredible game at this point.

If you don't have Tale of Two Wastelands, get it. And of course I'm biased about Energy Shields because I made that one.

The words "better, actually fun game" and "Fallout 3" shouldn't be legally allowed to appear in the same sentence.

Unless being used to point out all of the better, actually fun games you should be playing instead of Fallout 3. Which is a mediocre dog turd.

You described my brother's style so well, except he'd occasionally complete the main quest or create a new character before playing too far.

NV is a hell of a lot better in terms of being a good game, a good Fallout game, and an RPG. The exploration and environments are the only subjective things about it.

That game actually impressed me after playing 3 first. So many neat things that I wish 3 had but it just didn't.

Yes, 3 and 4 are both terrible. Fallout New Vegas has superior writing, twice as many quests and content, better combat, and choices change the game world.

It might shock you that some folks do prefer NV. I like the setting and factions just a bit more.

Where was that in Fallout 3? I never managed to find it in my run.

Is it in a hidden part of the map, somewhere along one of the far edges?
