Fallout 1 and 2 flow together seamlessly, even while dealing with very different themes. The first is set in a completely isolated wasteland focused purely on survival, and the second features a population that is desperately trying to recreate the decadence of the pre-war world. But when you play the classics, you realize that 3 and 4 are the outliers of the entire series. Now, I opened this piece saying that New Vegas is the outlier of the modern Fallouts. But we’re not here to talk about that today. This launched the series into the mainstream, but since Bethesda was too busy on Skyrim to capitalize on the success, it handed the reigns over to Obsidian, giving us Fallout: New Vegas. As part of the closure, the IPs were sold off, and as we all know, Bethesda scooped up the post-apocalyptic series, releasing its own Fallout 3 in 2008.

Well, what I’m trying to say is that 2010’s New Vegas has already explored every inch of life in the Mojave Desert, so for its 10th birthday, let’s dive into how it did this so well.
