Im on my first play-through and about 16 hours in and have noticed a plentiful amount of new things, some small and some game changing, just wondering what everyone's favorites are.Please avoid spoilers or neat things that people may want to find on their own, unless you put it in the tags. It can be anything that youve noticed in FO:NV that has enhanced your game play and was not in Fallout 3.

Some of my favorites are,

-The ambient soundtrack that plays in areas like Freeside, really adds to the environment and mood of the area.
-hardcoe mode!
-Giving more choices between how you play your character, live off what you find and scavenge in the wastes or make caps to buy what you need, use your wits to gain as many friends as possible, or gun down all your enemies.
-More explicit advlt themes, less innuendo

Overall im very happy with how New Vegas turned out and with the way Obsidian and Bethesda have continued to listen to the concerns and desires of the community, from Oblivion- Fallout we saw interface changes and gameplay additions that if modified would fit well into the Elder Scrolls series and from Fallout-New Vegas a continues evolution of what we want.

One word.

Fisto.

Best robot ever made.

not exactly new, but different from FO3 is the fact i can actually use my iron sights and blast down enemies instead of missing 95% of the shots cause the game is [censored].

much much better.

What? A positive thread on the Forum? It... it simply cannot be!

:D

I am loving the story progression.
I love the fact that random aren't found in illogical places (most of the time).
