Fallout: New Vegas

The player takes on the role of a courier who is tasked with delivering a package to Mr. House. However, once the package reaches its destination, a man in a checkered shirt and thugs intercept the courier, leading to a violent confrontation. The courier is shot, buried, and left for dead, but is later revived by a robot and sets out to uncover the identity of their would-be killers.

There are new gameplay elements, including a variety of weaponry, aiming down sights with guns, and crafting unique items using workbenches, campfires, and reload benches. An influence system determines the protagonist's standing with various towns and factions, while trying to fool enemy factions requires stealth and careful disguise.

The game also features traditional first-person combat using V.A.T.S. or action combat with a third-person camera option. The player can level up, gain perks (every other level), and use functions like fast traveling, waiting, sleeping, and adjusting the time of day to progress through the game.
