With the Fallout series the game's central story is almost surplus to requirements when playing this marvellous, involving, all consuming RPG.
I tend to set out with the best intentions of taking another step forward with the unveiling of the storyline and yet I will more often than not get distracted by a battle or a side quest that will take me in totally the opposite direction.
The thing is, that is the beauty of an open world to explore to your hearts content…..
The creators of the Fallout New Vegas have created a landscape that is begging to be explored.
It's vast and it's open, so vast and open that sometimes you can walk for minutes without encountering anything!
In that scenario it makes your next encounter with someone or something even more memorable.
You also find yourself feeling glad to locate a moving white marker on your in game compass as you realise it's a friend rather than a red enemy marker.
It's these stumbled upon moments in the game that make it so worthwhile to play.
