Fallout New Vegas' map feels too linear, and you're basically guided down a path at the start of the game until you know what you're doing and how to run up the north road. However, it has much better mechanics; the Companion Wheel, true Iron Sights and Hardcore definetly improve the experience for the better.It has very little emphasis on exploration- NV excels in it's story and RPG aspects, whereas FO3 excels in it's exploration and just general running around. I don't ever play 3 for it's writing, just as I don't play Vegas for it's exploration (Outside of DLC anyway)- they're both good games, but good for different reasons.But there is a lot of exploration in new Vegas. Like the gecko canyon south of primm. The vertibird crash near searchlight. The back road from good springs to red rock canyon, then the trail from red rock canyon to jacobstown. There is a lot of exploration, and all sorts of neat things to find.I never said there wasn't any exploration. Rather, it just feels tacke on and an afterthought when compared to the Fallout 3In comparison to Fallout 3's bland dungeon crawler based exploration system, sure. It has less of a focus on Exploration. Namely, because BGS can't make a different game to save their lives.I enjoyed FO3's dungeons. The Vaults and Metros were creepy.

The Vaults and Metros were creepy.They were good but they were too forced. When you're in the city you have to go underground every time you want to go somewhere. Instead of simply climbing up the rubble pile you have to go underground and go miles just to get on the other side of it.
Fallout New Vegas is a better game than Fallout 3
