Fallout New Vegas is a bad game and the worst of the main saga
I liked Fallout 3, it was a great and fun game, a little mess to explore but i just felt like i had infinite content, the DLCs were good, there were barely any bugs and i dint even need mods, so then i heard about the GLORIOUS and AMAZING Fallout New Vegas, so i played Fallout 4 first, which was a good game, almost as good as fallout 3, but not as good, though it had many more replayability which i liked.
And then i get Fallout New Vegas and... It's a buggy mess all around, so i install mods to fix it and play the game and
1-The plot makes no sense at all, after getting the platinum chip and giving it to Mr House for example you suddenly become a servant for any faction you ally with and help them in a war that DOESN'T involve you in any way, the courier is from other part of the country, yet he's without any reason involved in a giant war.
2-Choices dont matter at all, when i got told about how FNV had millions of choices and they mattered i said:"Finally, my choices will change the world, killing some random ants will free up space for people to trade!" and then i realize, any choice you make barely affects things except for a little screen and dialogue at the end of the game. I got really surprised to realize i couldn't play after the end and had to load an earlier save? I wanted to see all that i had done in the world, but i couldn't, hell, even killing Cesar just doesn't do anything except for a dialogue.
3-Exploration, this game has the worst exploration of the saga, Fallout 1 & 2 were desert but at least every time you stopped you knew you were in danger and you had to act. This game? You just travel 40 minutes to a random location following a destroyed road in the desert, there's literally not even a single thing to do or any npcs to find unless you go to a nearby town, also with the graphics being ugly with that brown tint it just makes exploration less fun, at least fallout 3 had a green tint that dint burn your eyes so much.
Oh yeah, and the fact that this game is unplayable unless you install mods, and for whoever who says:"Mods make this game a masterpiece, they add good graphics and story and continuation for the ending!" just no. A person should be able to enjoy the game without it crashing without mods.
