To get back to the main story in Fallout: New Vegas, check your quest log for the latest main quest objective. Also, talk to key NPCs who might provide clues or instructions. Sometimes, revisiting familiar locations related to the main story can help too.
Well, Fallout 3's story is great for those who like a more personal and somewhat linear adventure. The main character has a clear goal from the start - find dad. The worldbuilding in Fallout 3 is also quite good, but it mainly serves to support this central story. In Fallout New Vegas, the story is a complex web. You start as a Courier who gets caught in the middle of a huge power struggle. There are so many different paths you can take depending on which faction you side with. Each faction has its own ideology and goals, and your choices really shape the outcome of the story. It offers a much more immersive and replayable story experience than Fallout 3.
The story of Fallout 3 is set in a more desolate and depressing Capital Wasteland. It's mainly about survival and the search for the protagonist's father. Meanwhile, Fallout New Vegas has a story that is more about politics and influence. The Courier has to deal with different groups like the NCR, Caesar's Legion, and Mr. House, and their different ideas of how to run the Mojave Wasteland. This makes the story of Fallout New Vegas more complex and less centered on a single personal quest like in Fallout 3.
It differs mainly in the plot. The original has its set storyline, but the alternate story changes things up. Maybe the main character's motivation is different. For example, instead of seeking revenge like in the original, they could be on a quest for redemption in the alternate story.
The cut story can be significant as it gives us a peek into the game's development process. It shows what ideas were considered but didn't make it into the final product.
Well, in the Fallout New Vegas Dead Money story, the Courier is kidnapped and taken to the Sierra Madre. This place is full of hazards. The Cloud can kill you easily if you're not careful. And those Ghost People are really creepy enemies. You also have to deal with the other characters who are also trapped there. You're trying to find a way out while also being tempted by the vast wealth that seems to be just out of reach. There are many twists and turns as you figure out the history of the Sierra Madre and the people who were involved in it before the war. It's a really engaging and spooky addition to the Fallout New Vegas world.
Sure. One unique story could be about a hidden stash of pre - war tech that was only mentioned in a terminal in an abandoned bunker. It was a race among different groups to find it based on the clues in the terminal.
