I want to play a Fallout but I only have enough time and space for one. I will most likely mod and I want the best gameplay with the best graphics. Which game should I pick and why?

24 fps for that "cinematic" feel


After a couple weeks of behavioral sciences at my school I can easily conclude my parents need to grow up.

3.  It's a bigger game, and the better of the two in my opinion.  Plus, NV kind of went on a sidetrack iirc.

both are great games

i would toss a coin

i will ask my fallout fanboy friend

ok so my friend says this

nv

 i have more hours in 3 but nv is a blast
and i like the southwest more
the radio in my opinion is better
more quests and npcs

and larger map
better dlc
and more quests

I say Fallout NV, if you had the space for both I would recommend you get the Tale of Two Wastelands mod so you can play both fallout 3 and NV.

it uses the same engine so i don't know what your talking about

fallout 3 had a better post-apocalyptic setting than nv. new vegas strayed from the depressive tone a bit but was still post-apocalyptic so the stuff you do in new vegas are better to swallow, if that makes sense. however i would say start with 3 then its dlc. then new vegas and its dlc
