Hey, for all the Bethesda fanboys around, New Vegas IS a sequel, though of course not a numbered sequel. It does not follow FO3, instead, it goes back to the roots of the series, the west region. It has countless references to Fallout 1 and 2 (something that FO3 utterly lacks), it gives the player a lot more freedom do choose, a lot more side quests and NPCs do interact, and is a lot bette written (no news here, since Bethesda writers are notoriously bad).

All the people bashing New Vegas for being a "mod", have ever played Fallou 1 and 2? The second uses the same engine, looks almost the same, have the same mechanics of 1 but with some improvements... Just like New Vegas to FO3. And Fallout 2 is considered by many a classic, a landmark of PC RPG (just like FAllout 1). You'd know that if you played some REAL RPGs and not only games that Todd Howard puts his heavy hand on.
