''Fallout: New Vegas'' is is the fifth (canonical) game in the ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' series, developed by Creator/ObsidianEntertainment and produced by Creator/{{Bethesda}}. Released in 2010, it chronologically takes place after ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'', but it is [[GaidenGame not the next numbered main game]] in the series. A good chunk of the development team were exiles from the late Creator/BlackIsleStudios -- responsible for ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 2}}'' and the canceled ''[[VideoGame/FalloutVanBuren Van Buren]]'' -- and the game returns to the west coast setting of the originals. Thus, in a way, ''New Vegas'' serves as more of a direct sequel to ''Fallout 2'' than the actual ''Fallout 3'', wrapping up the region's MythArc while opening up new possibilities for future stories. Like its predecessor, ''New Vegas'' is a [[FirstPersonShooter first-person]] (with optional third person) ActionRPG.

* ''Honest Hearts'': The Courier travels north to Zion National Park, finding themselves caught in the middle of a tribal war along with two Mormon missionaries with differing ideas on [[WhiteMansBurden how to settle the conflict]].
* ''Old World Blues'': The Courier is abducted by a gang of insane scientists who need his/her help to escape the boundaries of their lab, which is full of amazing but horrific scientific advancements.
* ''Lonesome Road'': The final add-on, the Courier answers an "invitation" to travel to the Divide, an even more devastated locale than the Capital Wasteland, and meet someone named Ulysses, who seems to know a lot about them.

The game recieved four {{DLC}} expansion packs: ''Dead Money'', ''Honest Hearts'', ''Old World Blues'', and ''Lonesome Road''. ''Dead Money'' has the Courier brought to a legendary pre-war ruin, the Sierra Madre Casino, in a SurvivalHorror-style map with scarce supplies and many environmental hazards. ''Honest Hearts'' takes the Courier north to intervene on a tribal war around Zion National Park, in a story about [[WhiteMansBurden the Courier and other characters dealing with a tribe of people descended from the locals of Utah]] and a few neighboring vaults. ''Old World Blues'' sees the Courier abducted by a gang of insane scientists who need their help to escape the boundaries of their lab, which is full of amazing and horrific scientific advancements. The final add-on, ''Lonesome Road'', has the Courier answer an "invitation" to travel to the Divide, an even more devastated locale than the Capital Wasteland, and meet someone named Ulysses, who seems to know a lot about them. The four add-ons are advised to be played in the order they were originally released as listed above, as together they form a MythArc, along with potentially-overlooked details in the main game, foreshadowing events and characters in later add-ons, all building up to the confrontation with Ulysses in the Divide.

Two more small [=DLCs=] were released on September 27, 2011: ''Courier's Stash'', which is a bundle of the four pre-order equipment packs, and ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'', which adds more weapons, mods, ammo, and crafting recipes to the game. Finally, in February 2012, the Ultimate Edition was released - the game and all of its downloadable content in one package.

!!''Fallout: New Vegas'' contains the following tropes:

It's 2281, and [[RunningGag the Mojave Wasteland is an okay place to live.]] It doesn't have as many problems as most places do, what with it being relatively radiation-free with lots of creature comforts. There's a bit of a gambling problem, but that's fine. Stimulates the economy, hey? And then there's Mr. House, a businessman with a lucky streak living a life of seclusion in the Lucky 38 Casino, from which he rules over New Vegas -- a city with lights shining bright like the blue moonlight, thanks to the power from the Hoover Dam. Well, Caesar's Legion ''is'' a bit annoying, what with their rampant slavery and fanatical devotion to the ideas of ancient Rome; and the extremely persistent New California Republic, while not nearly as bad as the Legion, clearly intends to make the technologically gifted New Vegas part of their nation, whether through political means or forceful annexation.

That's all somebody else's problem, though. You? You're [[{{Courier}} The Courier]], one of the best messengers around, as long as the package isn't too big. And this one ''really'' isn't. It's almost boring, even. But hey, you get to go to New Vegas, the biggest, brightest city in the wasteland. Should be pretty fun, right? Guess again. Only a few days into your trip, a mysterious man in a checkered coat and his posse of leathered-up thugs shoot you in the head and take your package, [[LeftForDead leaving you for dead]] in a shallow grave. [[NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow Normally you would be dead now]], but luckily, you manage to cling to life just long enough for a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot friendly robot that thinks he's a cowboy]] to dig you up.
