In this first-person Western RPG, the player takes on the role of Courier 6, barely surviving after being robbed of their cargo, shot and put into a shallow grave by a New Vegas mob boss. The Courier sets out to track down their robbers and retrieve their cargo, and winds up getting tangled in the complex ideological and socioeconomic web of the many factions and settlements of post-nuclear Nevada.

It actually wasn't until I saw a youtuber called Many A True Nerd do a kill everything and kill no-one run that I understood how great of an RPG New Vegas actually is.

Fallout New Vegas is one of the greatest video games ever made, a hugely important game in my life and has helped me through a ton of bad times, and a shining example and a game that defines the Action-RPG Genre along games such of the like as KOTOR, Morrowind, Gothic, etc. for a number of reasons.

One of the first things that struck me was that the main character must have really short legs due to how slow you walk and when walking through the waste land I really noticed it. The biggest let downs for me was the fraction system, at first glance it seams great, over time a few things seam a bit of , the most annoying is that after interacting with a friendly NPC if you change to an oppositions fractions armor (which disguise you), they wi...

Storyline

The player takes control of "the Courier", who is hired by a delivery service to take an unknown package across the Mojave Desert to "The Strip" but intercepted, shot in the head, and left for dead by a mysterious man who steals the package. After being found by a friendly local robot, Victor, and healed by a man named Doc Mitchell, the Courier is thrust back into the desert to seek revenge and recover the stolen package. Through doing this, the player becomes caught up between various factions competing for control over the desert and it's most valuable asset, the Hoover Dam; ultimately coming to shape the future of its inhabitants.
