I just started playing the game 2 months ago. I started playing fallout new vegas and the span it took me to play 2 times took over a year with my schedule and the added dlc and after playing the 2 back to back I have to say NV Is better than F03 . I understand that in F03 it had more areas to explore and more enemy encounters which is a good thing but the type of enemies that you run into (deathclaws,nightstalkers,cazadors,legion,etc) make it for in NV. The crafting system gave you a mass amount of weapon options, being able to make and buy attachments, a vastly superior melee weapon system the melee weapons you can get are extremely limited in FO3. Now don't get me wrong FO3 did have its moments but even the story and the characters was more interesting in NV even the companions in FO3 lacked any kind of depth or character except for fawkes but after your meeting with him you can't even get any unique quest or anything else with him .
Don't get me wrong even with that all said tunnels and the back story with the enclave or cool though and what they was trying to do with the wastes but other than that NV all the way .
