Yup if New Vegas focused solely on creating the world in the city rather than the city/mohave I believe the map would be a lot more fun to explore.

Agreed. I'm playing NV for the first time right now. NV has a much better story, much better writing, and much cooler faction dynamics. But FO3 has better ambiance and visual worldbuilding.

I remember being 14 in 2008 and while visiting a friend in the city he took me to a group of older gamers that he played rpg's with. Basically a share house full of absolute nerds that he met at the local FLGS and he was part of their group. Anyway, we went over to play dnd and a zombie apocolypse rpg they had designed, very fun! So when Iwe got there only one fella was home and he was playing fallout 3, which was brand new at the time, with the highest possible specs on his PC. I had no idea what it was being 2008 and not an online kid I just didn't hear about it, and I was just absolutely floored by how amazing it was. Graphics and gameplay yes, but the dialogue trees and the free exploration just had me stunned. I had never imagined that a game could do that sort of things, as I was still playing COD on the PS2 at home.

I never realised how atmospheric this game is until I played it without listening to the radio for the first time 5 years ago. As much as I like the songs on the radio, it really takes all of the spookiness away. Playing without the radio on is the true connoisseurs way of playing FO3.

For my TTW playthrough, which I haven't done in years, I HIGHLY recommend that everyone STOPS listening to the damn radio music especially GNR and Mr New Vegas and enjoy the REAL music of the Fallout games. Bethesda Fallout, though gave rebirth to the series, severally hurt it with the stupid idea of the 1950s forever troupe which was never the original intention

I was so obsessed with this game that I kept playing until my save file became so big that it slowed the frame rate more and more until it became unplayable. The main quest, all the side quests (I think), all the DLC, followed by hours upon hours of free-roaming and random encounters until the game just couldn't take it anymore. To this day the exhilaration of leaving the vault for the first time and just roaming that incredible world with this magnificent soundtrack is a feeling that no game before or since has been able to match.

I really like the setting and atmosphere of Fallout 3. It's unlike any other open world game I've ever played. At the beginning of the game you feel a feeling of pessimism and hopelessness, seeing a destroyed world, people in misery, thieves/Super mutants/Ghouls trying to kill you at any moment. And the game's coloring and soundtrack really reinforce these sensations. But as the game progresses and you reach near the end, you start to feel a feeling of a small hope for change.

I believe if it's game music, then youtube doesn't really have an issue with flagging it as copyright, I suppose Bethesda themselves would have to strike the video if they didn't want you using their music.

yeah I never really felt the "fallout" aspect of new vegas as opposed to 3, it's hard to feel like a barren wasteland when 99% of it already is one.
