Definately New Vegas

[Hat8]

Vegas is better but both games get really cheap. Their stories are not connected so no worries.

[Lord Pincho]

New Vegas, get a few mods that help stability and your good to go.

[Ion_Gunner]

New Vegas. Obsidian rocks.

isn't it that simple now? New Vegas and if you play on Windows 7 or above still New Vegas because you can't play on Fallout 3 with Windows 7 or higher unless you use a mod but it wont connect to steam that way though

Both. There is a mod called Tales of Two Wastelands that will allow you to play both games within New Vegas. Ofc bugs will exist (like a black man with a white head.... how is that possible?). If you start in Fallout 3 you can explore that game all you want and when you feel ready you can leave (and return when you want) and start Fallout New Vegas with the character you had in Fallout 3.

You can write a really good character this way and you basically need to be around 29-31 years old when Fallout New Vegas start. You did after all spend the first 19 years of your life in a vault and then 9 years on something + how many years it took to do whatever you did in fallout 3.

You can still play it. You just need to download some kind of program that is connected to Games for Windows Live. But I only installed Fallout 3 for TTW.

New Vegas. But you might find the world of that game a bit empty.... it also depends on what kind of experience you want. If you prefer a ruined city over a barren desert then take fallout 3.

But both games can get quite good with a couple of mods. Still my own personnal pick is New Vegas for the superior writing.

Keep in mind that both games represent areas that are about 200x200 kilometers. Both have empty spaces in the forms of farmland and desert.

Both games feature cities and with Vegas it should be obvious because of the title.

Fallout 3 if you want an exploration experience

New Vegas if you like your long quests with multiple solutions

You can't really compare the scale and style of said cities. Its all about the them you are looking for. Theres also the extensive subway system in fo3 and the likes.

To me its very diffirent. If it feels the same to you then alright too. But to me both games are very different when it comes to the environment.

New Vegas all the way. Much better story, actually runs on windows 7 and above, and look nicer.

[FluffyGuy]

wait for sale
edit* there is a sale now so its good

[FluffyGuy]

i would get both and play tales of two wastelands mod, ports all fallout 3 into fallout new veges engie and you can play both together, theres like a train that takes you from one wasteland to the other

[Pogchimp]

New vegas, is a better game in general and works better than fallout 3
