And why? Let me know, homies.

Fallout3, because :
- I play it since a long time and everytime I start a new playthrough, I have new things to test in game or new toys
- I spend much time to mod my game so that it's more fun, more stable, more optimized.
- Also because Fo3 has a tons of additional content, even ported from other games.
- Because this game has been tested and tested during several years and there are known patches to correct things.
- Because I like it, even if now it is a bit old fashioned, but hey, when I like, I don't count

Fallout New Vegas because:
1. It has a lot of freedom and choices, you can be an outlaw a-hole or a benevolent ruler of the waste.
2. The mechanics in both Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas were an innovation for the era and could be argued lead to some influences of future fps
3. A lot of work has been done to revitalize this game and make comparable to more modern games.

I am ready to be shunned.

I like 4 because:
1. I LOVE the setting. True North east, right by the sea. Just love it.
2. I love the connection to the revolutionary war. Weird robo/advanced minutemen. Loveit.
3. The Mods. For me, the mods (aside from a big creature mod I am waiting for) make this game exactly what I want. A perfect balance of scary, silly, and sexy (talking about my deathclaw 4k retexture!)
4. I really like the enemies. Just missin my centaur (I had a companion in 3/NV named Spanky. RIP)

New Vegas

1. I love the cowboy setting, it's just awesome
2. Modding, I feel the modding is better than any other Bethesda game, not sure why
3. It got me back into Fallout, I used to play the first two ones, but New Vegas interested me again
4. Endings where what you do matter, because what you do during the story, matters in the end.
5. Almost everyone is killable

@GoofyGoo6er Could you perhaps PM me a list of mods you'd definitely recommend? I'm looking to start a new playthrough soon of 4

Fallout: New Vegas, because:
1. Fantastic Characters.
2. Cohesive world.
3. Brilliant writing.
4. Awesome new weapon and armour designs.
5. It's a continuation from the first two games.
6. I love the factions, from NCR and Legion to the Kings and Followers of the Apocalypse.
7. Extemely satisfying endings.
8. Best compansions in the franchise.
9. Best overall gameplay in the franchise (Fallout 4 has good gunplay but that's about it).
10. It's fantastic modding community.

Wow, that's the first time I think I've seen someone say 4 was their favorite, but yeah fallout 4 has definitely alot of good things about it, and it's a fun game for sure.

I like Fallout New Vegas the most. I love the vibrant setting and all the choices you have in the game. Fallout 3 and 4 feel a lot more linear to me, though I still like them too. I really love the NCR, and I love all the mods that expand on a pro-NCR playthrough.

New Vegas hands down no contest dragbodys mods for new vegas alone are a good reason why it trumps any of the others.

I'm ready to be ridiculed, but my favorite changed from New Vegas to Fallout 3.

I just really love Fallout 3 now after I figured out how to permanently stop the crashes. The weapons look really rugged, fit for a Post-Apocalyptic game. The world is outstandingly interesting. I haven't seen a world so well designed. Each location that I go to has feel to it like the Everglow National Campground. Without words, you know the place used to be a spot where people made memories, now its a killbox for Raiders and Supermutants. Also, the characters are interesting to listen to like Ronald Laren. Even though he is one big pervert who wants to bang Sierra Petrovita, he's still a joy to listen to. I'm really glad that the art direction is so clear on this game and that they did their best to follow the concept arts. God I fucking love this game! 75 hours of gameplay, no crashes, just continuous playing.

@njmanga097
Yup ! Even though I think NV is a better written game, with more interesting mechanics, Fallout 3 ( and F04 too, for that matter ) have a much better atmosphere !

New Vegas is the game that get into my mind. I probably remember all the major quest up until now. Probably the the most hilarious was sending ghools to space =)

Well, I've been downloading and making mods for my New Vegas game for almost four years now, so I
must say that it's my favourite of the three I've played (3, NV and 4). I still love 3, and am tolerant of
4. But for me the scope of modding for NV and the fact that it has the greatest freedom for mods with
NVSE and such makes it number one for me. The DLC is also fun to experience again and again. FO3
had the Broken Steel DLC that made it last forever, so that made it second best for me.

Definitely New Vegas,

-Amazing Story
-Very philosophical feel with the characters and communities
-Amazing Dialogue
-Most realistic (humanity wise)
-Truly explores the humanity behind the wasteland

I don't have a favourite, because each game is completely different on what it focuses on, is better in, etc. 

For example, I LOVE exploration, and in my opinion Fallout 3 is best for that, but along with 4 it kind of traps you into being a Vault Dweller with a family member to find, so New Vegas's story, quests and protagonist are much better, yet, Fallout 4 is superior in gameplay.

In short, 3 for exploration/atmosphere, NV for story and quests, 4 for gameplay and visuals.

Fallout: Brotherhood of Ste-

Oh God, he said it! He said it!

The abomination's name has been spoken!

Pray for forgiveness sinner!

Throw him in the pit! Throw him in the pit!

I could never get into the old fallout games, no matter how hard I tried. For me, good voice acting is a must. My absolute favorite one in this franchise is New Vegas.

I always keep coming back to it, despite its flaws. I love the atmosphere, from the songs that I started listening to on my phone to the factions and their lore. It all clicks, y'know?
It's a well thought out game and everything in it ties together well.

New Vegas is a good RPG; it offers decent choices in quests and I can roleplay however I see fit.
My first playthrough was an NCR sharpshooter. Recently I've started a Kratos playthrough, a legion warrior that uses a chainsaw and giant blades. Next up, a nerd with that is obsessed with plasma weapons.
The game feels so different every time, from different faction quests, different companions, new dialogue choices that pop up with specific perks to downright hilarious conversations when suffering from very low INT. I rarely saw that in Fallout 3 or 4.

And last but not least, mods. There are some awesome modders that keep this game very much alive, their mods are exclusive to New Vegas. Modders such as Jokerine, Dragbody, th3overseer, Xilandro, Asurah and many, many more.
Some of their recent works include Diagonal Movements, the B42 weapon Inertia, Eliza (Great quest mod) etc..
There's also the classics, and boy there's a lot of good ones, especially quest mods. Way more than what's available for Fallout 3 and 4.
I'll name a few: Autumn Leaves, Beyond Boulder Dome, Boom to the Moon, For The Enclave, Tales from the Burning Sands, The Someguy Series (Obviously *~* ), Honest Hearts Reborn, Interesting NPCs, Fallout New Vegas Christmas Special (Hilarious, fits perfectly with a loony build)...
I'm not going to turn this into a list of quest mods, you get my point (If you want more suggestion, PM me :p)

And to top it off, there are more great mods in works. This has inspired me to start making mods, to contribute to this wonderful community.
So this is why I love this game, if you read it all, thank you!
My heart belongs in New Vegas.

New Vegas with out a doubt I love the western feel the lore it brings back from the first 2 games the amount of different play styles you can use the faction mechanic the option to be a saint or a complete bastard and the amount of characters you meet on your travels
