When it came out in October of 2010, I remember being on board the hype train. It will live indefinitely in my Steam ‘Favourites’ category, because looking through my 65 hours of save games is like reliving multiple past lives. What are your thoughts.I always seem to find a reason to return to Obsidian Entertainment’s Fallout: New Vegas. The funny thing is that I read up on the size of both wastelands, and they're basically the same size. It may have to do with all the huge rocks taking up space, but still, it felt small.
FNV's world felt pretty small in comparison. You felt like you were going on an endless path of depressing destruction. You would always be on your toes when you're out in the Capital wasteland because at any moment, two Albino Radscorpions would be crawling right behind you or a Deathclaw would be pouncing right at you. You would find random firefights, animals fighting eachother, etc. What also was great about the exploration in Fallout 3 was that it felt like a living world. That is not even it, you can run into a wastelander trying to mug you, slavers, or even a pacifist supermutant. You would either run into a merchant, a bunch of angry wildlife, or a scuffle between two wastelanders. When you went to a certain area for the first time, you'll run into like one of three encounters. When it came to Fallout 3, you would have a lot of random encounters.
It doesn't really gives you the feeling of discovery like Fallout 3. It feels like a path from one area to the other. In my opinion, FNV is really bland when it comes to exploring the wasteland. I personally think FNV is the better of the two because of it's more refined role playing elements and fantastic story, but there is one thing in my opinion that Fallout 3 trumps FNV in, exploration.
