YES!!! One of the greatest games of all time! I can’t wait to hear the boys talk about it :)

Ultimate Danny 5000

Yes! I had a hard time getting into Fallout 3 and gave up for a while. After feeling like I was missing on something great I tried New Vegas and immediately fell in love. It's become one of my "rainy day" games that y'all talked about recently.

Paul George

Fallout: NV is my favorite fallout game! Best memory for me was opening up the gate and seeing the strip for the first time. Absolute magic.

Beebles00

Just picked it up started last night, so excited for this! Question: Is there any possibility that the fallout series eventually "runs out" of new vaults to introduce? With so many different types of media portraying the details of so many vaults, it seems like that the 122 known vaults in existence could be reached (including bits like vault 77 from penny arcade). And if so, what does a speculative future for the franchise entail, if it continues at all? I'm thinking of this more from a "what else could fallout be while still remaining true to it's core identity", which very well might not be possible.

Don't let New Vegas distract you from Hi Fi Russ not being in last year's GOTY

September's Wake-up

If you haven't, grab the Ultimate Edition. Absolutely worth every penny.

AaronTheBold

Top 5 game of all time for me. Lots of nostalgia for me now

EtherEli

Independent of this post I just installed New Vegas on my Deck today lol, funny coincidence. I saw the F4 update and it just made me want to play NV again. Reddit posts recently really sung its praises for performance on SteamOS, and Fallout 3

Derrin Holland

Just got the game today, I’ve never played it before and I’m excited to hear your thoughts about it! Thanks for letting us all know about the sale!

Sammy

Just finished a replay of this two days ago. So excited for this! I've been playing this game once a year (at least) for over 10 years now. One of those games where I feel completely at home.

Jeremy Cuzzort

I just finished another playthrough of New Vegas last year. It's one of my all-time favorites. It a role-playing game that really allows for actual role-playing. Even after 400 hours in game I was still finding places I had never seen before. I was fortunate to get some of my New Vegas fanart signed by the dev team years ago and the game will always hold a special place in my heart.

Ian Stokes

Curious if anyone has tried the new Vegas mod “a tale of two wastelands” that lets you play through all of FO3 and NV in the NV engine

cameron Swingle

My story is that growing up I played so much Fallout New Vegas that I can recite from memory the typos in the Prima Strategy Guide.

Red Murdzek

I legit just started playing this again yesterday!! I've played it so much I can navigate someone else places lol. It's a comfort game

Leo Herzog

I love the overarching story and vibes of the Fallout universe, but RPGs aren't my first choice for genre. I usually need my games to be a bit more narrative and on rails. A friend told me NV meets that criteria more and would be a good entry point for me, as a fan of very linear games (Firewatch, Portal 2, Bioshock Infinite, Horizon: Zero Dawn, etc). Is my friend right? Do story beats define this game more than the more open-ended entries in the series that I've bounced off of, like Fallout 3?

Johnny McKenna

I was really bummed that the strip is segmented into separate areas, really took away from the grandeur that Vegas should have had. Pretty sure there's a few mods to handle this though. Makes me want to dive back in... Hmm...

Patrick Keppel

Discuss: VATS should be in every video game regardless of if it makes sense.

bushwackdill

Saints alive, how many hours I've sunk into NV... I used to go to my friend Kevin's house and we'd all trade the controller around. Our thing was coming up with characters, spending hours in the character builder (big MF energy) to make them look right, and then go deep deep into the game trying to find the right items for them... legendary axe when we played Abraham Lincoln, switchblade and dynamite build when we played the Joker, legendary rolling pin and chef hat when we played Chef Boyardee...

Brad Durbin

What do you think would need to be done for Bethesda to let another studio work on a Fallout game, like they did with Obsidian for New Vegas? I ask because they seem pretty stalwart on not letting Obsidian do a New Vegas 2.

Gem Newman

Dunno if it's my favourite memory, but this series (Fallout 2, I think?) taught me what a "fluffer" is, so there's that I guess.

Luke

Did you besties ever go dark urge on a fallout game? Does Obsidian / NV do it well?

Brad Durbin

A lot of people, myself included, feel that Bethesda has been making progressively worse games since they released Skyrim in 2011. What are the chances that they can reverse this trajectory?

Majima Cookie

foolish of you to assume I dont already own it

Daveyzones

The show is so good I went and bought NV and get to play it for the first time!

ThanaThots

New Vegas is a top 10 game of all time for me for sure! I hope one of you did a low INT run. The fact that the game has unique interactions and dialogue options if you play as a 1 INT caveman is amazing!

Nicky Bodsworth

It's also on Game Pass for those who subscribe.

Jon Marcopoulos

The Dead Money DLC's theme of "letting go" is perfectly incapsulated in the final moments of the arc, where you have to navigate your way out of the hotel vault while racing a timer counting down to a nuclear detonation. You literally have to let go of the dozens of gold bars in the vault in order to escape the bomb in time. I can't think of any other time in games where carry weight limits have had a meaningful impact on the story.

Lou

This is my favorite progression loop / skill system in any rpg. For players who love this, could you please recommend some games that scratch this same mechanical itch?

Cassie McAllister

My favorite part of the game is any scene involving Benny. RIP to Matthew Perry, he did any amazing job voicing that character…especially when you spend the night with him. I don’t want to spoil any new players but you have some fun options in seducing him.

Metal Gear Solidarity

New Vegas remains one of my favorite games, so I'm very excited to hear your thoughts! In terms of questions, I have a few: 1) Based on the current trajectory, do you think we will ever see a Fallout game this good again? 2) Public opinion of this game seems to have shifted. It had positive reviews at launch, and folks seemed to like it (bugs aside), but it was sort of dismissed as "more Fallout 3". At some point in the last 14 years, it went from being just another Fallout game to being one of the greatest RPGs of all time. Do you have any theories on what occurred between now and then that resulted in this critical reappraisal, and can you think of any other games that have had a similar reception? 3) Favorite DLC?

Cameron Elston

All time great RPG. My favorite play through of New Vegas was one in which I went true pacifist. I killed no one. Not a single person, mutant, robot etc.. The game allows you to do this with many speech options so I pumped 100 speech and a bunch of luck. Also Wild Wasteland trait had a bunch of weird and hilarious encounters like getting robbed by a gang of old women in Freeside.

EtherEli

Anyone else notice, in the Challenges, the A Slave Obeys to kill Mr House with a 9 iron? Funny little Easter egg all the more relevant after the twists Besties Bracket episode. Also I haven’t played this game in years and boy have I gotten used to sprinting in newer games lol

Patrick

Hey Plante and Russ, I was wondering if either of you know why Bethesda is able to consistently put out broken games without the backlash other game companies might get?

Ian Hickey

Fallout 3 is also on sale, should I get it? I've heard mixed things from people who like New Vegas

Cameron Gilbreath

I mentioned this way back on Twitter when you mentioned New Vegas prior, but I have to retell it. After launch, New Vegas was notoriously buggy, but I was lucky. I had savored every piece of the 50+ hours I’d played. I hadn’t even been to the strip yet, and I hadn’t encountered a single bug. Until. I finally made my way to the Strip, and upon entering the main gate, the game crashed. Reloaded and tried again, crash. Tried the NCR entrance, crash. Tried every listed way into the strip, crash, crash, and crash. Flash forward two weeks, I’ve posted in every forum I could find, and had been working with a very helpful Bethesda support person who was doing their best, but ultimately we could not figure it out. It looked like I was set to lose all that progress. Until. They suggested one last attempt. Travel to a remote vendor, that in all my travels I’d somehow missed before, and purchase from them, the “Old Cowboy Hat”. Then, wear said “Old Cowboy Hat” while crossing the threshold of the Strip. I was confident that I had broken this poor Bethesda support agent after two weeks of back and forth, but lo and behold. It worked like a charm. The Old Cowboy Hat become my permanent debug totem after that, and I’d toss it on whenever gameplay got a little choppy or after a crash, and never had another issue after.

The Big MT dlc will always hold a special place in my heart. It’s such a fun and silly contrast to the other grittier dlcs.

Foote909

Got this to play along, it wouldn’t initially even run. Might be worth mentioning to people to google Viva New Vegas, basically a walkthrough on installing a bunch of mods and significantly improving graphics, bugs, and load times (and, in my case, getting it to even run). Excited to hear the episode!

Liisa Murray

I just started playing Fallout: New Vegas for the VERY FIRST TIME this week (yes, I know, I know) so this announcement is very very exciting to me.

EtherEli

Okay, concrete questions if you haven’t already recorded: 1. Y’all playing with mods? 2. How do you play? Are you being moral paladins or disgusting human beings? 3. Having played it before, would you go straight for dlc or something other than the main story when you start, or do you genuinely follow the main path when you start out? 4. Do you have any strong opinions on any companions or characters? (Eg. Boy do I hate Victor) 5. Are there any standout lines of dialogue for you? (In Novac with the merchant: “I killed Fanny-Mae. Do I still get my discount?)

Elklodge

Hey Chris and Russ, I have been playing a little bit of NV this past year and decided to hop back on seeing that you're going to do an episode on it! Thing is, I never know how to enter Fallout games; in particular, I always get choice anxiety when it comes to what stats to level up (SPECIAL, perks, etc.). Do you usually go into a playthrough with a certain build/morality in mind or go along as you please and level up based on how you think the story is going in the moment? Personally, I used to get worried about min/max if I was choosing optimized stats but I found it kept me from immersing myself and being more present with the game. I'm currently trying to find a good balance between the two sides of the spectrum. Interested to hear what others think, too!

Ethan Holland

One of the first games I ever remember astounding me, and this is going to age me a bit, was fallout 3. Now my dad had played Skyrim and Oblivion and I'd seen him play the Fable games to some extent, and I had played some Halo and call of duty up to this point. But one day I went to one of my friend's house and he was playing this game fallout 3 and I immediately fell in love I played so much of it but really only up to the point where you meet Snoop Dogg, because my brain was so small and I was so young even though I probably wasn't that young, and then I remembered discovering fallout New Vegas I've never beat that game once but I've probably sunk 400 hours into it just restarting it every time I pick it up I pick it up for days at a time never beat the game and just explore the world and always find something new and just have a good time going to New Vegas and like gambling at gamorrah or the tops I like finding all the different ways like that you can get at Benny You can help him you can kill him You can fight ninjas that he sends after you You can have the legion kill him like it's really cool! sadly I never knew who played Benny even until after Matthew Perry had passed, Plus the politics of that game is so rad Like you can be gay You can be straight you can be bisexual, or you can be a racist? Like you can just have the racist perk where you can like kill raiders and people from a specific area and it gives you way more damage for some reason? Like the game really lets you be whoever you want to be whether that's like a racist fiend or like a lesbian who is really good at killing women or even men! I also love how late game and the DLC experiment with your stats, like when you meet your own brain in Old World blues if you have a really low intelligence it'll just like grunt at you But if you have a really high intelligence it'll like belittle you and like the sort of stuff that the game does with that is really deeply interesting to its own sort of mechanics. I also played the hell out of fallout 4, all of these games I think supplement different things like fallout 3 is amazing because it exists and how it adapted the material it came from, fallout New Vegas is like the ultimate expansive lived in world and it's a marvel that it even exists, and fallout 4 exists for me to beat it story every time I pick up fallout 4 I beat it at one point I held the speed running record on Xbox for beating it in like 4 hours or something like that, I knew that game like the back of my hand and I thought the story was fun and easy to beat, and fallout 76 exists for sad people, and the people who actually really enjoy it and apparently it's good now or something I don't know

Ethan Holland

Also, I wrote something earlier, but One of my proudest memories is I created my blog that I would for a few years review video games and do video game journalism on because of fallout 4 I beat fallout 4 played the hell out of it, and my first blog post ever was DLC speculation for fallout 4, I got somethings right I got most of it wrong, but it's what started my love for video game journalism and let me to finding people like you! PS I theory crafted that we were going to have a memory sequence similar to the fallout 3 war flashback simulation thing, I said that we would have an automaton DLC which we did I didn't suggest that we would be making them I said there would be another space DLC of some sort teasing a space game that at the time was only rumored and is now the mess that is starfield, and I said we'd have a DLC where we went to like Pittsburgh which we had done in previous games but there was like leaks at the time and I talked about how it might be interesting to explore that
