Be warned, this game no longer works, even with the launcher patch. Not working on 8/7/2024 on windows 11.

It needs games for windows live - but GFWL itself (A service) no longer works. MS closed it down in 2013 !!!

If you buy this, you will not be able to play, It just closes silently a few seconds after you click play.

This game held up really well considering it was released in 2008, I didn't expect it to be this good.

Just whatever you do, do NOT alt+tab mid game, it'll crash and you'll have to load your last save after that, wherever you might've saved your game last.
And definitely befriend Fawkes in vault 87, he'll be very useful later.

Other than that, just get this game if you're thinking about getting into the fallout series, don't skip it and don't go straight to NV or 4 like many do, this game is so worth it.
8/10

New Vegas has better gameplay than Fallout 3, but the world of Fallout 3 is more interesting to explore
