I believe that the building and crafting really put this game on the map. Having a place to construct multiple suits of power armor was an instant win for me. The opening story and getting to see the houses right from the start before the bombs fell was something out of the movies. Awesome. The factions are creative down to the robots. The add-ons are a plus. The Boston area was a cool idea with baseball themes and robots everywhere makes you want to play it again and again. 300 hours logged the first go around. So much to do on the side.

Fallout New Vegas was a bit different than Fallout 3 but in an awesome way. They took a solid RPG concept and added some fun crafting like campsite and reloading of ammo. The western feel and what appeared to be the competition to Nuka-Cola gives you that yester-year nostalgic experience. The soundtrack to the vintage casinos keeps the Fallout tradition right where it should be! The characters are a load of fun and the factions are such a unique approach. Play it and play it again!

Bethesda does a fantastic job with this game. The idea that you literally start off as a baby is pretty cool. It shows your character develop through childhood quickly enough but it really places emphasis on vault dwellers life. The game itself is a gem. From building your character through XP and SPECIAL attributes to such fun expansion as The Pitt and Mother Ship Zeta this game is a blast! It is worth going back and playing through multiple times.
