They couldn’t even make several different layouts?

[@courtneyvaldez7903]

The way New Vegas did their DLC should be studied by any dev that plans to do DLC. The base game gestures at the stories within them, and when you play them, not only do they enrich the base game by adding narrative and depth to its characters and the themes, but they also serve to tell their own individual stories and each have a different tone and style. An absolute masterclass of doing DLC.

[@merksmovies25]

I disagree, i like completely separate stories. I believe there are less roleplay options in nv compared to 3 because every dlc, side quest is somewhat tied to the main story leaving little room to rp. Roleplaying isnt the same as freedom of choice within a narrative.

[@filipe2444]

GTA IV did DLCs perfectly as well

[@somebodyelse2192]

​@merksmovies25 Except each DLC is a separate story? There's only hints here and there to the conclusion that's in lonesome Road. You can completely choose what way you want the story to turn out like in each dlc.

[@merksmovies25]

@@somebodyelse2192 but they are still all connected narratively to each other. They are great dlc but storywise its all connected. Hell in fallout 3 i can start as a cowboy cryogenically frozen in space, or as abe lincoln freeing the wasteland, or as a treasure hunter on a boat to point lookout. New vegas you can roleplay alot, just you are restricted a bit more compared to 3. Nv is stilla top 5 game all time

New vegas will remain the ultimate fallout game. A game that blends the world, characters, weapons, leveling, ... and mixes the original fallout games with the next generation fps/RPG mechanics. I'm still stunned that they made it in a year and half.

[@merksmovies25]

I disagree, i think its a great game but weaker rp game compared to 3. There may be more choice in new vegas but the roles and stories you can tell are very limited. There are so many roles and stories to tell in fallout 3. New vegas has the side quests and dlc all tying into the main quest which takes away from the stories and roles that can be explored.

[@HeyMyNameIs...]

@@merksmovies25 I do understand your perspective. Bethesda's quests are written in a way that you remain central to every faction. While New Vegas makes you feel like a nobody in the beginning. You have to earn the trust of most factions before they start to center you in their plans. On the gameplay front i do feel like as an RPG it truly gives u far more options to play your way than any other Bethesda Fallout game. It asks you to get to know the world and ask deeper questions (just like a more traditional RPG) in terms of your build and the story. The way Obsidian makes their games is to answer almost every question about anything in the world, while Bethesda keeps everything mostly vague when it comes to the harder questions.

[@merksmovies25]

I've been replaying "New Vegas" over the last 6 weeks or so. As an adult with adulting to do, it takes a lot of time. It's funny to me what I do and don't remember, and how much fun it is to explore all over again regardless. Two things really pop out that everyone should know in case they're interested in replaying: #1: If you're going to replay on PC, it takes some work to get going properly. Took me the better part of an afternoon to set up vortex and get everything lined up so it could be played at all. I'm playing a "vanilla modded", as in: it's totally vanilla, but it runs way better because of optimization mods. I recommend it that way. #2: Play it on PC just like that. The original used to have terrible freezing issues due to memory. I never got through a FULL-full playthrough due to crashing late-game. I had to speedrun stuff and do individual DLCs, then restart a save to do another one to keep the save size down, and even though FO:NV is still my favorite Fallout, those technical issues were the things keeping it from being my favorite GAME: Full Stop. We can clear that up now because we live in the future. Really happy you went back, Matty. I'll be on your Discord soon if you want to do any discussion on it.

Thanks matty for the video i just started playing vegas as you uploaded oddly enough😂 heres my thoughts on NV man this game is epic First off. Best fallout game ever. Idk how some people have never played it? In my eyes and many others its a top 1-10 game ever made and for me probably top 3 next to ff7 and the witcher 3. Its just damn near perfect. What this game that other fallouts (bgs mainline games) is the choices. You saw some great choices in 3 like the bombing of megaton and what not but it wasnt there as much only at certain points. New vegas has choices from the very beginning with Joe Cobb to killing or letting Legate Lanius go. And with lonesome road and being able to bomb the camps and see how they react to you is just wow…. The side quests are all great theres not one that sticks out as bad. The reward for exploration in new vegas is amazing and something BGS has lost. Its like with Starfield, i paid 110 bucks for it…beat it and put 50jrs in now im not returning til it has mod support. Theres no gift for wonderment. Vegas rewards players for trying to uncover vaults, faction history and whatever else. The random encounters are good. The companions like Boone and Lily and the brotherhood gal its awesome. 10/10 masterclass rpg. As you said with cyberpunk just imagine cp2077 got the world and rpg elements of a new vegas and used that as a template instead of gta….. itd probs be the best experience in modern gaming next to witcher and red dead. Truly. Thanks for the vid and reminding others how great this childhood gem is

[@megadeth8592]

most overrated game in the franchise

[@BlizzyVIBES]

@@megadeth8592 based on what?!?! Nobody plays fallout 1. Fallout 2 is good but niche in this era i respect it tho only played it a bit. Fallout 3 im replaying right now. Great game with some flaws but with the dlc in mind it has misses. New vegas hit every single spot rpg wise and world wise. It has a better story than any game and character wise it clears. 4 is the black sheep for me. Its a bug fest action game its not really an rpg. They ruined alot of grit the universe has. 76 is trash and not worth playing. So how is new vegas the most overrated its only competition is 3. It pays homage to 2 and does 3 better than bethesda did even down to dlc content. Please explain.

I just installed fallout tale of two wastelands mod for fallout 3 and new vegas. It combines both games into one game and add a lot of quality of life improvements. New Vegas was also originally meant to be a dlc for fallout 3

Great video as always Matty!

[@collinbroom7119]

Just finished Fallout New Vegas for the first time today, it was my first Fallout game and I absolutely loved it :D

[@Rubyredacted]

Lonesome road is what i consider the single best bgs dlc from that era if you actually comb through everything available in it the vibe on the first playthrough is across the board just fkn surreal Ill die on that hill

[@medievalknyght313]

Time to watch another mandatory FNV video essay 😞 (fr tho love these videos)

[@Derknomicon]

23:23 Bethesda never got it, Obsidian did. That's why we had unique variants of weapons/armor in New Vegas. Rather than, in Bethesda titles, uniquely named weapons and armor with the same meshes/models as all the other weapons and armor in the game.

Man got da big iron on da hip he go bang bang bang good game 10/10

[@calebhagestad2369]

4:49 Is that guy digging the grave backwards? 😂

[@rrrrr5042]

With all my love to New Vegas I keep playing it mostly to experience again Dead Money dlc. It is perfect - characters, writing, atmosphere, challenge, story, just everything.

[@corypowercat7277]

Looks like the show will be reaching New Vegas in season 2.

[@illuin__]

Big Iron in the season 2 trailer, calling it

[@jazzyjswift]

​@@TheGravityShifter It looks like the events of the Fallout: Dust mod are closer to what happens in the show. They technically take place around the same time.

[@user-wh8mb7tm2g]

Todd Howard hates new vegas since it was made by Obsidian and is the most treasured game of the entire fallout series, wouldn't be suprised if they completely ruin new vegas in season 2, and they need to explain the shady sands dilemma

[@CostFrost]

A big thing you forgot to mention (imo) was also oblivion in 2006 including dlc into late 2007

[@stosh64]

I started my first playthrough of FNV just this month, April of 2024. I am level 21 and I LOVE it!

[@michaeljamesmccabe]

If the glitches, cheats, and exploits are still in the vanilla game, they’re now considered features. Independent New Vegas is the only correct ending.

[@Hard2Find]

Just bought it on steam for 2.49 usd on my steam deck, brings back memories. Haven’t played it since release around 12-14yrs ago on 360. I’ll be 28 this year and I’m more NV than 3. It’s the first Fallout I beat then moved to try 3, then so on. I was too young to understand the games fully then.

[@paperclip019]

I'm revisiting this game on my Steam Deck. I am absolutely loving it

[@TheRealJackArthur]

Does it run and play well??

[@paperclip019]

@TheRealJackArthur it does, about 15 hours in with one crash. Consistent frame rate with no mods

[@AlecBurriss]

Now do a video of “Playing Caravan in 2024” 😝

[@GameOn88]

All time great intro!!!

[@vegemitebilly369]

The first time i played i let benny go when he said he'd be back. No joke, sat there playing with the pool table waiting for him to come back. Even waited a few times to speed up time and overwrote my autosave.

[@spider531]

This was my first experience to the Fallout franchise. I played 3 after. This will always be my favorite due to the zany stories and creepiest vaults. I pray that one day it’ll be remade for current systems.
