Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas? Best Editions?

NV is better than fallout 3 in my opinion:

• better companion system

• much better DLCs

• diverse story line

• More factions to interact with

• Hardcore mode

• No serious crash issues that require manual fix

and many others..
But still, get fallout 3 if you have the budget.

Your nephew will like 3. 3 is something with a better storyline, more action. NV is overall better but since he's young, he'll like 3. Saying this because my little brother preferred 3 over NV a few years back.

Oh god, another one of these

both of them

new vegas,

ive been trying to play FO3 for the first time for the past week. its horrible. i have it updated and patched up th ebutt and even so. there is still save file corruptions, game crashes, and random minimizes where you cant even maximize the game again

and these issues have no fix's .... its just brutal and im having a horrible time dealing with them

I enjoyed New Vegas a bit more, but you should've played both.
Also, the radio on Fallout 3 is much better than the New Vegas Radio Stations (50% Johnny Guitar).

Why not buy him both? If he enjoys the one you bought him, he will enjoy the other one, too.
