Fallout: New Vegas 2010

Is it still worth playing?

Obsidian Entertainment's 2010 action role playing game for Windows, the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, set in the Mojave Desert in 2281. You are a courier who survives an attempt on your life and is pulled into a conflict between rival factions. Those factions shape everything. Helping one can block quests from another, companions may leave if a faction dislikes you, and dialogue options can require a minimum skill or attribute. There is a lot of that dialogue, since the game holds the record for the most lines in a single player role playing game. Fights play in first or third person, and VATS lets you target body parts for Action Points. For more survival, an optional Hardcore Mode requires eating, drinking and sleeping. A world where the side you take closes some doors and opens others still makes every decision count today.
