New Vegas is a much more well researched and considered take on Fallout thanks to Obsidian, but i find myself disappointed in the lack of true narrative freedom. Maybe it's enormous reputation set up some lofty unreachable goals, but I frequently felt frustrated at the lack of dynamism and interactivity when it came to decision-making and how my companions reacted to whatever it was I was doing.
It's a hell of a whole lot better than Fallout 3 and actually feels authentic to the original game, but it being a project rushed by Zenimax higher-ups and still being built off of Fallout 3 means many of those game's issues still persist while being even more unstable and crash-prone.
Sadly, I feel like I somehow missed all of the cool stuff. Enjoyable nonetheless, but entirely unfulfilling - By far my least favorite Obsidian title to date.
