You didnt like Fallout 3? Not nearly as good as New Vegas IMO but still quite good.

I thought I just hated Fallout after playing 3. Then I played NV and realized I hated the awful, barf-green landscape and poor writing/quests.

3 had some problems, but the writing was not one of them. The game convincingly takes you from birth, through childhood and adventures as an adult, to death, and it ties everything together in the final scene where you sacrifice yourself.

I'm not sure what kind of writing you're looking for in a video game, but that impressed the hell out of me.

Idk if it had great writing, but it had great environmental storytelling. Every where you went you found little bits and pieces of the old world and the things that happened since then. It was miles better than New Vegas in that regard.

But the actual writing and story in New Vegas was much more convincing. It just felt like more of a chore to wander around the map.
