Another Fallout 3 and new vegas thread

I think someone made a mod that takes you from fallout 3 to new vegas I forget the name fully but it might work for you

None, Fallout 2 FTW!!!

You arent the same character and its basically the same engine so do them in whatever order you like.

It doesn't matter which order. They both have a lot of mods you need. Start with Fallout 3 though, just because it came out first. I think you should be able to appreciate them both more if you play them in the order they were released. With that being said, in my opinion Fallout 3 is a higher quality and more rich experience. Mostly because of the map design, exploration, atmosphere (modded of course), DLC, etc. New Vegas did make some improvements in other areas. Make sure you get a nice ENB preset for both of them, if your system can handle it. This is the one I used for Fallout 3: Click here

3 came out first. Might as well play it first, but it's no biggie.

First, the original one. (original as in first fps fallout)

Look at my profile if you're not convinced.

there are a lot of mods for FO3 that implement some of the gameplay improvements from New Vegas, since the NV ones were inspired by mods, like beeing able to see trough the weapons sights.

Afther playing New vegas all the problems with FO3 will become more apparent, so i will say Fall Out 3. beat trough the story, and move to New Vegas.

i heard fallout 3 has the better story, but new vegas has the better gameplay....although i was caught with a bug that at the time there was no fix for as far as i could find, which caused me to stop playin it, don't know about now

I think you should start with Fallout 3, because in new vegas, you are thrown into the wasteland asap, but in Fallout 3, they make it sounds amazing, a forbidden unknown world dangerous to all and there is a build up before you can explore the wasteland. so If you go NV then fallout 3, you will probably say "ughh wasteland, been there, done that".

I would play FO3 first to get yourself into the story a bit since its a bit better might get you excited to play NV cuz NV seems to be lacking in that departement, gameplay is pretty awesome on both though, so I guess it wouldnt matter that much

fallout 3 is indicated to learn the basics and to continue the story in fallout NV

Plot wise, it doesn't matter, they're not in "order" and those are different stories.

Gameplay and narrative wise, mind that New Vegas is way, way, way better in every aspect (except graphics). I'd honestly suggest that you start with F3 because if you play NV first, you're in for a huge disappointment.

Doesnt matter. At all. If you are just interested in which one to play first then just flip a coin. I played both and I likes New Vegas more, but Fallout 3 was very good too.

i would say from fallout 1, but from what you have i would start with 3 :)

Hey there! If you are fallout fan - play NV first. If not - F3.
Both games are great (I personally prefer NV), but F3 is not actually a Fallout but like some spin-off, I guess. It had some serious FO setting issues and some other things FO fans can't stand. But it's OK. So if you are FO fan, you'd be disappointed and wouldn't even want to try NV after FO3, but after NV it's just like other game that isn't bad at all. Kinda like that, I guess.

Fallout 3 has way more bugs than New Vegas and is somewhat close to unplayable on newer OS's. In fact actually it pretty much is unplayable using Windows 8.

I'll support "Fallout 3 first" opinion:

1. The games's storylines don't cross, so this doesn't matter/
2. Both games could be hang with mods like a cristmas tree, so see 1.
3. New Vegas is much better in my opinion, so playing this first could make you not to take an advantage from posessing F3, just cause you won't play the last with joy. This matters.
   So i advise F3 first. Never changes...

Your question is nothing that hasn't been answered already either

F3, because it's so much worse than New Vegas you probably ain't gonna want to play it after you have tried NV
