which fallout is longer, NV or 3

[Kit⸸єगђs ♪ ⛧]

I was just thinking which one's story is longer, i mean main quests.
Last night i was thinking how short it is when taking the yes man in the lead this time i try with the Mr.House
Im just wondering i have played both games storys over, but it just feels like fallout 3 story is shorter than NV and exspecially Easier.

Fallout 3 is more authentic imo, it is based in and around the Capital Wasteland, in DC rather than the mojave desert, in personal experience, playing through fallout 3 adds that element of realism, then after you've played through fo3, fallout new vegas is worth playing 10/10, beaware thou fo3 contains a few bugs and can sometimes crash unexpectedly, that said, it is an amazingly made game that is a whole new view compared to the first iso-metric views, of fo1 and fo2.

New Vegas is far longer, and has insane replayability. FO3 has almost no choices to make at all, and the main quest itself is really damn short.

It based on Capital Wasteland *u dont say* i have played fallout 3 3 times from strat-to-end.
And i gotta say Fallout 3 doesnt add element of realism in my opinion, and i know i got fallout 3 in PC and Xbox 360.
U just could say which game is longer i was just thinking.
Dont get this message that i would be angry, im just wondering why u start to tell about how amazing games they are even i have played them okay :D

Agreed, and that's why I pretty much stopped playing it after getting all the achievements. :P

thats not true, thats NOT true at all. i have fallout 3 on pc AND xbox i have completed the story 3 TIMES with out DLC:s
But explain how u mean u need dlc to complete the game? or u mean WHOLE game or just story, if u mean Broken steel its not story anymore its just opening the end game thingys
But yes u need dlc to Complete whole game but not for story. and who want to search every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ little side mission on ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ big map.

Fallout 3 has the DLC "Broken Steel"which extends the game/story in Fallout 3 after finishing the main game.

At the cost of ruining the already rather weak ending and destroying any semblance of balance the game had. Not worth it, at least from an RPG player's perspective.

This I agree with. The ending was weak compared to NV, and the 20+ perks are game-breaking, like Almost Perfect, along with making Dogmeat, Fawkes, and RL-3 effectively immortal. :P

I have not played enough of Fallout 3 yet so I skipped your comments.
I am still playing NV and DLC and enjoying the game.

New Vegas is the longest and best of the two. The DLC for New Vegas extends the story and fleshes out certain things that were mentioned in the game. New Vegas was made in a much shorter time frame and Obsidian said that they would have wanted more time to put into it so some things are not in there that they would have wanted.

Fallout 3 is boring and it took me about 24 hours to beat. I completed New Vegas in about 150 hours. All DLC included.

NV, because you can actually keep playing the game without any DLCs. :-D

[Sügma]

after you start of course.... silly me.
