Fortunately, the injury isn�t fatal (that would make for a short game), and you�re taken in by Doc Mitchell, who nurses you back to health. The game begins with your character, a courier, receiving a bullet to the head.
However, New Vegas offers an extensive new setting, a great new story, and plenty of small tweaks, making it a good buy for fans of 2008�s groundbreaking FPS/RPG hybrid. Fallout: New Vegas isn�t technically a sequel to Fallout 3, but it may as well be: the two games use the same engine, and the basic gameplay is almost identical.
