There are four final choices to make, with the player getting to choose from three factions (or a completely self-interested run) while deciding the fate of smaller groups in the wasteland along the way.
House, a prewar genius and libertarian idol, and this is Fallout at its most complex and nuanced.
It plans to control the new America through brute force and obedience.Īdd in Mr. Meanwhile, Caesar’s Legion is a new force that draws from the now alien and inspiring imagery of the Roman Empire. The Brotherhood of Steel, a once terrifyingly advanced and stoic order, has decayed and is now on its last legs. It’s as close as you’ll ever get to a vision of a benevolent rebirth of America - which is to say, well-intentioned but plagued by inaction, corruption, and dreams of conquest. New Vegas is a direct sequel to the original Fallout games, and the tiny town of Shady Sands that players encountered in the first Fallout is now a sprawling, struggling democracy. Obsidian Entertainment/Bethesda Softworks It wasn’t pretty, but New Vegas got the job done. New Vegas borrows heavily from Van Buren, but it’s built atop Bethesda’s shooty, looty engine. Large chunks of New Vegas were repurposed from an abandoned Fallout 3 made by Interplay, a project code-named Van Buren.
But all of that was saved by the fact that New Vegas is a damn fine role-playing game. Granted, the dialogue checks were simplistic and easily gamed, the animations were janky and the people were slightly horrifying, and the world was extremely brown. New Vegas was the cure for that ailment, crafted by many of the original Fallout developers who were now at Obsidian Entertainment. While Fallout 3 ended up as a critical and commercial success, and drew heavily from the first two games for source material, it still wasn’t what many fans of the original Fallout titles had been hoping for. There were a couple of spinoff attempts from other studios, and then the series fell into relative obscurity until 2008’s Fallout 3. There was one universally beloved older game, a slightly contentious if mostly popular sequel, and then. The Fallout series was a classic of the ’90s. Those three games are the Christmas Carol-esque ghost trio of the Fallout franchise as a whole - a vision of the franchise’s past, a glimpse of a comfortable present, and then the threat of a grim future laid bare. Over the past 10 years, the Fallout franchise has received three entries: Fallout: New Vegas in 2010, Fallout 4 in 2015, and Fallout 76 in 2018.
