For me New Vegas has the same problem as Elden Ring where the first chunk of this game is this fun adventure to this grand site of major narrative importance, you spend some time there and it's fantastic, but then it goes "Okay, time to leave and go do something else in the worst part of the map" and I just don't want to. I dislike the focus on the NCR and Legion. The Drama going on between House, Benny, and the other Families is WAY more interesting.

I see why they nuked Legion and NCR in Lonesome Road. Factions getting to developed really fucks things up. Local disputes with potential big consequences is more engaging. The "Post-Post Apocalypse" fags fuck everything up. I'm here to help small settlements, kill Deathclaws and explore ancient Vaults, not get a philosophy lessons from a geriatric fag with brain cancer
