They completely changed the format of Fallout, much to the conflicting joy and dismay of the fanbase, moving from a previous isometric view akin to Baldur’s Gate or the more modern Dragon Age to a first person shooter style. FO3 is made by Bethesda, the recent buyers of the Fallout license from Interplay, and are most notable for their Elder Scrolls series, of which the soon to be released Skyrim is an eagerly anticipated sequel. Most notable is the varied pedigree of both games. I’ve been toying with the idea of doing a big “Head to head” between Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas for a long time now. What’s a better way to enjoy unseasonable sun than sat inside wandering through a post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland? DOING IT AGAIN! Given the obnoxiously hot weather out there, the fact that I’m still poor (soon to be addressed, hopefully!) and the fact that the reportedly final DLC came out recently, I’ve decided to do a Fallout 3 vs Fallout: New Vegas comparison.
