But to hardcore fans of the original games, Fallout 3 was missing that certain something special. Fallout 3 had been a watershed moment for the series, allowing it to enter the mainstream consciousness for the first time.
Originally released in 2010, Fallout: New Vegas followed on from Bethesda's smash hit take on Fallout 3. It's notably the one entry with almost no invincible or "essential" NPCs, which speaks to the flexibility of its storytelling.
In fact, New Vegas goes the furthest of all the 3D Fallout games in letting you chart the course of the story. These sorts of shades of grey are what have endeared Fallout: New Vegas to many hardcore fans over the years. They're still bad, but there's a rhyme and a reason to their madness that feels unsettling. But interrogate them for a bit, and it emerges that Nipton was a town of thieves, and the Legion had come to mete out their own peculiar form of justice. You're meant to think that Caesar's Legion massacred a town full of innocents. Waiting for you are representatives of Caesar's Legion, the story's primary antagonists. You enter the burned out husk of the town to find much of the populace crucified or decapitated. It's evident that Fallout New Vegas is going to be a bit different the first time you step into Nipton, near the beginning of the game.
