Obsidian's take on Fallout is one of my favourite games, and a modern masterpiece, but it's clear the developer was severely held back by Bethesda's creaky tech. After a lot of build-up and fanfare, you get to New Vegas itself and it's just so lifeless. The strip is hardly the bustling, thrilling, garish den of sin and excess you expected it to be. It's all wide, desolate streets scattered with handfuls of NPCs, and it feels so small. I would love to see this location as the concept artists, designers, and writers imagined in their heads, rendered with modern technology and massively increased in scale.
