which game did you like more fallout 3 or fallout new Vegas which one had the better story?

I'll have to go with New Vegas. The characters had so much depth, everything was connected, the DLCs expanded the main story and back story, it gave tons of feelings with Christine's tragic story and that she was Veronica's lover.
New Vegas was a lot about revenge and people talking in the desert, but it was also about letting go.

Each New Vegas character has a personality and is a different person.
New Vegas teaches that people shouldn't hold on the past, that they should let go and begin again, that a man's smallest action can have a major impact even if the man isn't aware of that, that wherever a man may go he will leave a mark in something or someone.
New Vegas teaches a lot of beautiful messages that you can learn for your life.

New Vegas has a far more interesting story, better mechanics, and interactions, etc.
Fallout 3 had a better map.
And that is why we have TTW.

Yeah couldn't agree more fallout new Vegas has a really good story although I really like point lookout dlc and the mother ship zelta dlc in fallout 3.

New Vegas.

The writing is better, The world is more thought out. The game play is better.

For me, New Vegas.
I know that Fallout 3 had big, open world and postapo setting but it was lacking of one thing, Fallout Atmosphere. It could be called Random Postapocaliptic Game 3 and I would be ok with that. In NV world scale may be smaller but is better made. Plus characters, that are more intresting, not only in series but in games general, like Mr. Robert Edvin House or Legate Lanius. They give me that feel of uncertainty before meating them in person, just like that one super mutant, cyborg, Enclave agent, badass in Fallout 2. But it is only my opinion.

using ttw i dont distinguish between the 2 anymore. However I will agree NV felt more like a fallout game. F03 just missed some of the "feel" of the original 2

I actually like Fallout 3 more. New Vegas felted rushed and like it was just missing something that Fallout 3 had. I am not going to claim the story was as good as Fallout 2 although but I just feel like New Vegas was trying to sell on nostalgia and not purely on content. Fallout 3 had a better story and charterers who if they died in the game, I would feel as if I lost an actual friend.

I liked the main quest line of NV more, and I'm gonna have to pick it because the options you have, more weapons, ammotypes, implants, and old world blues was the best DLC out of all of them. 3 had a better story but there was little to no player choice.

FNV have a more extense history and more quest of course but there are some problems, for example when you finish a quest and you didn't know that you fuck other 2 quest for don t know that...
But for me another big problem maybe is my imagination, FNV has more inestability with the mods...
And maybe worse graphis...
Yeah the expansions of FO3 didn't have any realation with the history except the Broken Steel but that is a +1 point in my opinion because FO3 expansions make you to be in extrange situations with no relation with you so you feel like you are exploring new options... Mothership Zeta is a shot DLC for example but it s a bit special of course... and give much content to make mods from it.
Another point for FO3 is the map, no so extense but you see all is connected, the metro, the stations...

I like the two games. But for some reason I choose FO3.

I liked the main quest of fallout 3 more, but new vegas has more replayability to me.

That's right, the new vegas have factions, and like in the 3, have quest and different ways to do that quest so, the FNV has a lot of secondary quest, and in the main quest you can have a lot of options too

I love them both equally but if I had to choose I would say Fallout 3.

I would say Fallout 3 because it actually felt like a nuclear apocalypse happened and your not walking across a empty desert for most of the game either.

i loved both but fallout 3 is better

I Love Fallout 3 more because of the story and world space that seem to have more Immersion and content. But to me FNV has a better modding community in my opinion.

Fallout 3 by far. Just more depth to it in my opinion. New Vegas has more to do and more weapons/features, but a less than stellar story. Combined with TTW though, I can play FO3 on a stable engine instead of suffering crashes. Also, with TTW, I've been reliving my nostalgia of 3. I remember where everything is/was. And it's given me a bit of love for FO:NV's story, somewhat, how the modder ties both games together.

Fallout 3 all the way for me, and for a long list of reasons. The music, the atmosphere, the setting and story (escaping from the vault vs. 'I got shot because chips'), and lots more.

New Vegas has some great points: amazing companions, great writing (Obsidian has always excelled at that), and of course a number of baked in mods that improve the gameplay like Iron Sights. But overall, FO3 for me.

I got Fallout NV first so it's the one I always go back to. I have more hours and more time put into it overall. I like the DLC's and the companions (like Rex and ED-E) and the way the combat works. I also like the more Western feel I get from the game.

I still love FO3 as well though. Just a little less (mainly because of the Metro Tunnels. I swear to God, I could play the game a million times and still get my stupid ass lost in there).

Always Fallout 3 i love the atmosphere and how it feels like your always so alone and i love the way the story goes from leaving the vault and looking for your dad then onto something a whole lot bigger with the Enclave
