Vegas still has plenty of opportunities, though 3 offers a stronger narrative.
These two titles are excellent choices. I particularly enjoy New Vegas for its engaging narrative and side activities. Fallout 3 offers entertainment but can feel repetitive and lacks depth in its story. In certain aspects, some Fallout 3 missions surpass those in Fallout 4.
I favored 3 over NV, though that might just be due to playing 3 earlier and the 'freshness' of Fallout games fading. I really enjoyed NV, though. I’d suggest getting both, though. Personally, 3 feels more engaging for exploration, while NV shines in role-playing. 3 offers a tighter narrative, whereas NV provides a broader faction and dialogue experience. 3 boasts a bigger, more detailed world, whereas NV has more open areas between interesting spots—something fans of the original Fallouts often appreciate. Short version: 3 is a stronger adventure game, NV excels as an RPG.
If Steam releases the pending credit before the fourth day, I’ll go ahead and purchase both.
