i just watched the fallout show and loved it, so I decided to give the series a try. I've heard people praise NV a lot so I started with it. Overall, it's a pretty good game. However, basically the only reason I was still playing was because I was pretty invested in the world and story. Basically everything people say about it is correct. The writing/story is really good and interesting, but the gameplay is not very fun imo. The voice acting is good, even though there's a slight lack of variety (Yuri Lowenthal voices like 15+ people, including 3 important people in a BoS bunker).

In terms of gameplay, the quests are just kind of boring. After like 20 hours in the game, I decided to lock in and focus solely on the main quests because I was getting a little bored. I should also probably say that I'm judging this based on today's standards, so of course there's gonna be some criticisms of the gameplay. I terms of 2010's standards, idk how good it was, I wasn't really playing many games during that time.

I really liked the variety in the endings you can get. I obviously only got one, but I could tell there was a couple different ones you could get, so it'd be fun to do another playthrough where I went a different path (replayability). Also, the visuals didn't age very well but you get over that in a couple hours (I did at least).

Anyways, it's a good game which -- at least for me -- was carried by the story and writing. Not gonna be an experience that sticks with me for a while, but I'm glad I played it.
