Is it still worth it?

Hello, i have played fallout nv to the end and now i own fn 3.
Was it worth to get?
Does fallout 3 have something better than fn nv doesnt

Fallout 3 is an great game with an better world. (IN MY OPINION)
Thought i think fallout new vegas probably has more content and more thought out ideas.

I would highly recommend getting FO3 Wanderers Edition mode for fallout 3 as it adds so much more needed content.

The mode does make the game much more harder but i think you can
use the options within the mode to make it easier if that's how you like it.

I think it's definitely worth playing if you liked fallout new vegas as its pretty much the same game in an different world.

I haven't played New Vegas till the end yet, about to do so. But in my opinion, I really like the way the atmosphere in Fallout 3, it really gives you that post- apocalypse feeling, while in New Vegas, I think, it doesn't.

For the rest, not sure how many companions there are in New Vegas, but in Fallout 3 you have a total of 8 companions you can choose from.
Probably different weapons then New Vegas, in New Vegas you can modify your weapons while in Fallout 3 you can't. (you can if you install mods).

You don't have a reloading bench (if I'm saying it right) in Fallout 3.
I like the way that in Fallout 3 you start as a baby and develop into a 19 y/o, and actually start in the Vault.
For the rest, I really can't think about any difference in these two games :P

Yeah, now i just gotta wait for a coop buddy xD

Fallout NV has a great feeling man!

As a proud owner of both Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, I can still recommend Fallout 3 over New Vegas any day of the week.

Fallout 3's story is, in my personal opinion, much better compared to NV's because it makes you live through all of it, first. You learn to care for your dad through watching his excitement as his child is born in Project Purity, and from the little things like the BB gun for your birthday (which was very hard to get) to the big things like his audio logs later on in the story.

Fallout: New Vegas's storyline doesn't cut it because it does none of these things. You're plopped out into the world with a fresh bullet wound as an adult and absolutely no backstory.

Additionally, a lot of people like what NV had brought to the table in terms of weapon modifications, disguises, etc... And I have only one thing to say about that:

Mods.

Fallout games have a somewhat lengthy shelf life due to their massive world and quests, but eventually it will get to the point where you've done everything and seen everywhere. Mods can add hundreds of hours to your game experience, from weapon modifications and new areas, to fleshed out and balanced companions to DLC-sized and quality quests!

So, in short: Yes, Fallout 3 is worth it, although it may be a bit difficult transitioning from NV to its predecessor. Take your time with it. Play the game as much as you can unmodded, first, and then mod in what you want changed or added.

When you do get into modding, spend a lot of time on the Nexus. Browse all the files, read carefully, and you'll find mods that will keep you playing this game for years.

easiest answer is yes.....i have both games.....but FO3 is better in my opinion but really they are both very good. I have had FO3 since it became available. Went from the basic game to now having roughly 150 mods including textures in FO3 which improves the experience ..same with NV

[R5CYA]

both games are awesome in different ways. enjoy!

[House Middle Finger]

fallout 3 well is a better place cuz there is more places to go but the ending is a little piece of sh**

[House Middle Finger]

all that stuff u worked for VAPARAITES WTF WHO EVER MADE FALLOUT 3 WTF WHY WOULD U DO THAT AFTER ALL THIS WAY U COME TO DIE AFTER 1000 OF HOURS WASTED TO GET ALL OF THAT STUFF WTF FALLOUT 3 any way thats my opinon on the ending

[House Middle Finger]

also nothing really same in fallout 3 except fallout nv has more stuff but idk what to recommend

[R5CYA]

hey Leon, the forum doesn't count your posts. you can just put all the info in one post. you'll never gain anything from triple-posting everytime.

[Andarvi]

FO3 is a story about a boy thrown into a hostile world and trying to find his father (and changing the wasteland in the process)

NV is the story of Nevada and thereabouts and how a courrier affects it and what powers will rule it in the future.

In other words, FO3 is first about YOU, second about the world. NV is first about the world, second about you. In this regard FO3 is closer to the original, while NV is closer to the original in story and setting.

The main complaint I have for FO3 is that the world doesn't feel like it's 200+ years post apocalypse.. more like 20

TLDR: Play them both.

[R5CYA]

good description! and you're right. PLAY BOTH!

[R5CYA]

nah. i'm seeing it as Andarvi sees it. it's about me, as a boy in a post apocalyptic world, trying to find out who i am to become. the water thing is just secondary to me.

So I have clocked 20 hrs or something now in this game in FOSE, i played little on steam,

Not many quests tho, and btw if u end the main campaign can u still play the campaign?
