Fallout: New Vegas hailed as all-time great RPG on its 12th birthday

Though it used to be a buggy mess, it's triumphed to become one of our absolute favourite games.

This week, Fallout: New Vegas celebrates its 12th anniversary and fans are looking back with rose-tinted glasses on one of the best RPGs out there.

I say "rose-tinted glasses" here not as a snipe or even a swipe at New Vegas, it's only to point out the fact that the game suffered from an unappealing amount of bugs and glitches upon its launch. Maybe the real kick in the head was the corrupted saves, freezes, and NPC errors we had in the first week of its release.

This is Fallout: London, a single-player DLC for Fallout 4 that takes the Sole Survivor across the pond to an obliterated Blighty. Take a look:

Obviously, the team at Obsidian Entertainment rectified these issues, and since then, the game has risen higher and higher in Fallout fans' esteem as well as fans of the RPG genre too. Indeed, we even argued that New Vegas still has a lot of lessons that the future of Fallout could take forward, with memorable companions, a rich setting and meaty moral conflicts.

"I bought this game with birthday money because I thought the cover looked cool. Little did I know that it was going to be one of my all time favourites," said Reddit user Joey-S-. "I remember my buddy and I getting our copies at midnight and playing side by side on different TVs," added another.

Well, if you are longing for a continuation of the Courier's odyssey, Obsidian Entertainment has said there's "no question" that they would return to Fallout, if the stars aligned.
