But - if you’re fresh to the series, you’re also not going to balk at certain lore issues, or other expectations, so just the more modern appearance may be worth it to you.
BEST FALLOUT TACTICS MODS MODS
But without mods (I use Nexus), you may find it bland. I have played it for 1000+ hours, but most of that was with mods - to enable better looking gear, more realistic damage and fights, added storylines, additional customization. If you want something more modern, Fallout 4 can be fun, although the scripted storyline has never grabbed anyone’s attention. Don’t (unless that’s the way you want to play) use them to cheat, but feel free to use them to fix errors. But since you mention Steam, you’ll be playing on a PC and console commands can and will save you.
You may see the casino take all your gear and forget to give it back. You will see at least a few spinning roulette wheels of endless stuck loading screens no matter what. It definitely shows it’s age, and I would absolutely make a point of making a distinct save at least ever 30 minutes, because it does tend to be buggy, and saves and plays can get corrupted. If you want a game played ‘as-is’, meaning no mods, and probably a story most true to the lore prior to the '76 and other Bethesda revisions, I’d go for Steam’s Ultimate Fallout New Vegas bundle at 9.99. I’m going to weasel this, but forgive me. Wow S_B, that’s a loaded question to Fallout Fans.
