as an RPG New Vegas hands down, the options you get to go trough a lot of missions depending on how you have level up your character are more varied, rather than just shooting your way trough.

and you get more choices that change the way you play the rest of the game, and more interesting enconunters.

New vegas is all the good from the old fallout games, and the new.

And the story DLC, completly worth it, it adds so much.

F3 is more streamlined and more on the whole apocalypse aspect. NV is a more open world game, you really have to choose a faction and have to war the others, it's more varied and a "happier" world.

Fallout 3 had epicness and scope, NV had a better multi layered story.

Personally, I've enjoyed the base story (excluding DLCs) of FO3 more than FONV, although FO3 was missing a real Boss Battle, which FONV delivered. But generally I've enjoyed the atmosphere of FO3 more.

I personally thought Fallout 3 was better, on almost all fronts, then NV. These are all my opinions, for some reason, Fallout 3 had more of an apocalyptic feel to it. I also felt the story was far more interesting, and the DLC just made it more so. The Fallout 3 setting was better as well. The DC area felt like a much better place to me then Nevada. I will give Fallout NV something, the weapon mods to the game are definitely a nice addition. They add a bit more customization on your weapons front that Fallout 3 didn't have.

All and all, both games are good. Personally, I would go with Fallout 3, but it isn't like Fallout NV is a bad experience. They are both worth your time, and I think you'll be happy either way.

EDIT: For those saying Fallout 3 didn't have a boss fight, play the Broken DLC (continues the game's main storyline) and you will get one of the most epic battles you will experience

Dont forget you can install mods for your Fallout 3 to make it more New Vegasish and even more.

F3 missed a couple of crucial features that made Fallout 1 and 2 popular and fans wished from Fallout 3.

The open world later on became really closed up, a lot of the areas were cleverly disguised to be open but had invisible walls all around an could only be accessed using the tunnels. So the open world was some part sham.

Story itself. F3 had one storyline. That is it. F1 and F2 were famous for having different ways to approach through different factions. Fallout NV brought this back. You had different ways to play your character through different factions and complete the game.

Humor was also a major aspect. F1 & F2 had crazy characters, stupid plots and random encounters that made no sense. Kind of Monty Python esque approach to humor. F3 seemingly skipped on this. NV brought it back with strange and bizarre, be it a super mutant in a wig or the random encounter perk.

I do agree that F3 had better atmosphere and overall "save the world" story, NV was smaller in scope story wise but made you have choices that altered who you worked for. NV was a better sequel though from F2. Also NV was made by the guys who made F1 and F2 so I would guess they knew what they wanted to continue.

F3 didn't get that DLC until later and also people who only picked up F3 still experience the game as it is.

If you have already played the classic Fallout games and like them, go with F:NV.
It is more Fallout than Fallout 3 is.

I don't understand such questions. It's like asking "should I have 50 hours of fun or 100?".

Fallout 3 certainly has the creepy apocalyptic atmosphere to it, but I never got far into the story. Fallout NV has less of the atmosphere since it's in a sunny desert basically. I prefer New Vegas.
