The case for each
Fallout 3: Bethesda's 2008 reboot of the series in first person: leaving Vault 101 to find your father in the ruins of Washington, D.C. The Capital Wasteland and its atmosphere brought Fallout to a mass audience.
Fallout: New Vegas: Obsidian's 2010 game in the Mojave Desert, made in about 18 months by some of the original Fallout's creators: a courier shot in the head picks sides between the NCR, Caesar's Legion and Mr. House. Fans praise its writing and choices.
