First to start with for the ones who dont know what Fallout is. The game is a 3rd/1st person shoter, rpg. In the game you can decide if you want a top view or far away, over the shoulder or 1st person. Fallout 3 was known as a big wasteland so the Fallout series are known with the realy big maps. Fallout is all about a free world you can do what ever you want. You have one main quest and that is the story line of the lone wanderer you play. Also if you are bored of the main quest just go ask arround in a town or base there are tons of side quests in the world that give you big rewards and XP. The lone wanderer can be customized any way you want. Change hair and color your skin coler old or young, female, male, eyebrows, eyes, mouth etc. One feature that most shooters don`t have is the Vault Automatic Targeting System also known as V.A.T.S. This is a option you just press a button the time stops pick a limb or the weapon of the target press the shoot button for how manny times you want to shoot that part and just play it and all goes by it self. Every limb can be cripled or blown off. Fallout is also one big trading world you can trade almost everything you find except for a chair or house but it goes as far like empty beer bottles or tin cans. The money are botlle caps from nuka cola botles this is the money you use for traders. You can also find pre war money and that is worth a lot of caps. Also one thing Fallout contains Karma you do bad things good people hate you bad people love you do good things its the opposit.
Another feature of fallout are the skills and perks. One thing to start with this never stops. At the start you pick 3 tag skills and that are the skills you really need or use later on. Skills could be like repair with repair you can greatly increase the condition of weapons and new in vegas is that you use it to make special ammo with it like armor piercing rounds. Skills need points you get more points after you level up. Just chose were you want to add more points. The perks are almost the same but more evective. This also includes skills. If you have like a high sneak skill. You get special perks for that. Perks could be that you ignore landmines or you have more critical strike chance or more accuray. Or fun stuff like bloody mess boddy`s just blow up with one bullet shot. Fallout 3 wasn`t realy made for companions there were a few but not a lot. In new vegas there are tons of companions and each of them have something special. Every person also gives you a special perk that is a perk you cant learn by your self but as long your compainion is with you the perk stays. Comapnions are made to fight with you or use them as a backpack. But in vegas you have to watch out witch companion you hire.
Fallout new vegas is 3 years later after fallout 3 but is a lot different. It is not realy the place were the bombs fel. That was more washington dc in Fallout 3. Houses are just ruined beceause the trading lines are broken and everyone just want to survive. The story line is different compared to the last one but really good. You are a courier to bring a secret package to someone. Only you were interupted by some men. Your mission as the lone wanderer is to get to know what you were delivering and who your atackers are. A long the way you meet lots of new people and see huge city`s.
To start with the bad parts of the game to make it a better end. Pc gamers prepare your selfs for a game glitch party. If you dont mind it and wan`t the best graphics of the game just play it on the pc but if it is annoying for you i recommend it to play it on a console (PS3 or Xbox360).
The better parts of the game. This part contains a lot of new things you do or train. The new skill like survival to make drinks food and things like poisens or drugs. You can make your own ammo now from different recources and you can upgrade weapons with like extendet clips or silencers and more. Also lots of new perks to use. Afcourse you can play the hardcore mode now. Then you have to realy survive in the wastes you really nead to sleep and drink and eat a few times a day. It still al works the same way. A realy good new gameplay mechanic is that you have a few factions in the game kill one of their recruits take his clothes and you are their friend. And their enemy`s want to kill you two now. You can build up a reputation with each of this faction from hated to loved.
The story line is different compared to the last one but really good. You are a courier to bring a secret package to someone. Only you were interupted by some men. Your mission as the lone wanderer is to get to know what you were delivering and who your atackers are. Afcourse there are enough side quests to do. So it is time to get a new high score of play ours.
