Fallout: New Vegas

The best 3d game of the series, because it has the best story writing and working rpg freedom.
- many outcomes to the quests
- best dialogue options
- ability to get a solution without gun and violence
- you can deal with any faction, support or destroy
- factions in the game have a logic to their actions and can adequately explain it to the player
- the game does not force you to be good to someone, like in the Fallout 3 and 4
- no immortal NPCs (except children)
- the best balance of serious atmosphere, realism and black humor, without excessive buffoonery and fiction as in Fallout 4 (like melee weapons with ice damage, full body teleportation, humanoid robots indistinguishable from a living person, too complex and perfect technologies that destroy the logic and lore of the Fallout retrofuturistic universe where robots should be big iron boxes, etc.)
- adherence to the lore of the original 2D games

A true masterpiece, not only the best Fallout game but in my opinion, one of the best games of all time.

This game had everything, complex politics with many factions that you are able to interact with in many different ways, all in some way affecting the ending of the game. Very strong quests, with excellent writing and characters (especially in the DLCs) and once again, many possible choices on how to tackle the given situations where even a small detail can alter the ending of the entire quest.

While this gives a rather simple premise (take revenge on a guy who shot you) this is a great and non-deterministic introduction, which lets you get entangled in the larger politics of the conflict between the Legion, NCR and the big TV guy. Here you are fully free to pursue any path you want in creating your desired ending.

The DLCs follow in the same fashion, presenting a complex world full of choices, with Old World Blues being slightly repetetive in it's quest but suberb in the dialog and humor and of course, filled with unqiue and interesting weaponry. Honest Hearts, if only for short time, presents an amazing enviroment of the Zion canyon and the iconic character of Joshua Graham with his deep and profound dialogue. Dead Money has as it's strong suite, amazing atmosphere and locations, with diverse characters and terminals full of lore I was too lazy to read. Finally the Lonesome road, despite it's linearity presented an amazing leadup to the final main quest of the game and the character of Ulyess presented an intriguing narrative that questions and uproots the faction narrative of the base game.

All that leading to the amazing final encounter and ending where I must admit I failed to accomplish every single good deed in Mojave but still mostly succeeded in not just bringing democracy and stability to the area but also helping many people (be it humans, ghouls or mutants) to live better lives.
This game truly should be the standard for any future ones, unlike FO3 and FO4 you are not forced to have a set background, instead simply stated to be a courier, giving you freedom for determination of your character. The customization in that area is extensive as well, allowing you to choose many perks that alter your playstyles in different ways, with you strong and weak points set firmly (but not unchangeably) by the S.P.E.C.I.AL system.

Only thing I have to say as a negative about this game is that I wish I could play more of it, while I could always start anew, I'm just left wanting more and more but I understand the decision of Obsidian to close the game after the Dam, and it does make sense. Besides that I have experienced crashes at various points, sometimes when entering/leaving an instance (which was not big deal because autosave is always created) and sometimes when trying to make screenshots but I imagine I may have neglected certain technical aspects.

With all that, this is an amazing game I fully reccomend and, of course, long live the NCR!
