Oh, and I assume there have been threads like these before. Sorry if it's a duplicate.

Fallout 3 has a mod that allows you to play it in windows 7 if i am not wrong.

I have the same problem, i should probably buy both.

P.D: I heard New vegas has a lot of mods, but is buggy as fuck, and Fallout 3 has a lot of DLCs.

New Vegas --> more rpg and closer to classic Fallout
fallut 3 --> more "oblivion-like"

May not be optimized for win 7 but it will run. It's a great game love to story fallout new Vegas I found to be not as entertaining. I know others may disagree with me on that.

course NV

Both are equally good. But if you have to choose one, that depends on your taste and skills. Fallout 3 is more serious and dramatic with Bethesda's Oblivion and Skyrim style, and the PC version requires a lot of tweaking (although depending of each PC and issue) to get it working properly: http://steamcommunity.com/app/22370/discussions/0/828937546147175081/. New Vegas has a lighter tone and is more close to the original games in style and stories, and doesn't require extra configurations. But both games has excellent mods found on Nexus.

I didn't have to tweak a thing on fallout 3 works perfectly on my win 7 64bit

New Vegas.

I had more fun with Fallout 3 personally, a system crash made me lose my Fallout New Vegas save about a third way through the main story, and I haven't touched it since.

I'm currently still having fun playing Fallout: New Vegas (with a lot of mods, I beat it once vanilla), though in FO3's defense, I haven't completed a full play through of that game yet, but I REALLY like FO:NV!

I had to go through quite some hassle to make Fallout 3 work under Windows 8.1. And then after playing for a while I realised it wasn't worth any of all that trouble :( Way, way overhyped in my humble opinion.

Both have advantages.

Fallout 3

• More interesting locations to wander around
• More interesting encounters

Fallout: New Vegas

• More interesting story with multiple endings
• More interesting followers

definately New Vegas. :)

df New Vegas

New Vegas. I voted on your poll, too.

Both are good, I spent way more time on New Vegas because there is far more main story content, and the multiple outcomes creates incentive for multiple characters. I'd say either play Fallout 3, then New Vegas, or just skip right to New Vegas.

Also, Brotherhood of Steel 4lyfe.

Wow, thanks everyone. I'll go with New Vegas, as it seems more like my kind of game. It also won the poll.
I'll try New Vegas, and if I like it, I'll give Fallout 3 a try. :)

Fallout 3 has GFWL, just saying.

Fallout 3 is much bigger than Vegas, same rpg system, same graphics. But Vegas plot is more exciting.

New vegas is the real Fallout 3

As an RPG, FPS, whatever, new vegas is more exciting, especially if you count the DLCs, youll have factions to meet, to join or to destroy, that will move the main quest in different directions, the encontures are more varied and interesting, it has many many more guns and armors and the morality and not violent accions are more present and again interesting.

PD: what ever game you play, make sure you are very intelligent, it will give more XP trough the entire game, and more points to spend in other things.

Fallout 3 feels like a shooter with RPG elements especially compared to New Vegas.
But then again some like it that way
