Though the game is still really difficult when you're inexperienced, the main missions lead you along a relatively safe route to the New Vegas strip, where the story starts to get interesting. While most of it is dried up, you can find and harvest fresh fruit, seeds, and herbs, which you can use to whip up concoctions like healing powder or stimpaks.
When you enter the Mojave Desert for the first time you'll notice that the landscape looks similar to the previous wastelands, but now there's actual vegetation around. This is a bummer, especially since that was a major complaint with Fallout 3 and Bethesda later fixed it with downloadable content. There are three possible endings to the main quest, and similar to Fallout 3 at launch, once you complete it you won't be able to continue your journey through the wastelands unless you re-load an old save. Though the story provides pops of color and a few necessary minor twists to keep things interesting, it's predictable just the same. Just a seemingly regular guy or gal, you're tasked with delivering a package to the New Vegas strip, but let's just say complications arise. You're a courier in these troubled times with no defined background. The NCR and Caesar's Legion butt heads over control of the area, and tensions are high. Based on the Roman methodology of conquering other civilizations, the Legion absorbs nearby tribes and enslaves a portion of their population. At odds with the NCR is the Legion, a dictatorship lead by a man who renamed himself Caesar.
Thanks to the Hoover Dam, the NCR and citizens of New Vegas have access to clean water and power, something most areas lack.
In the aftermath, a group of people formed touting the values of the old governmental system and called themselves the New California Republic, or NCR. Despite the bombardment of numerous nukes, the city of Vegas managed to survive the war mostly untouched. Humanity emerges from the tragedy as selfish and power-hungry as ever. is desecrated, a shell of its former glory. The Fallout series takes place after a nuclear war and the U.S. Since the first game was so widely loved, that's certainly not a bad thing, but New Vegas does feel like a giant, awesome expansion. It appears that Obsidian didn't feel the need to change much about the successful formula, as the similarities to its predecessor are so significant I often want to call it Fallout 3: New Vegas.
Now, two years later the juggernaut of a franchise has another addition to its repertoire with Fallout: New Vegas. When Bethesda released Fallout 3 in the fall of 2008, it was lauded as one of the greatest open-world role-playing games of the time.
