I got my hands on the Fallout: New Vegas game on Friday, and it's just as amazing as the last Fallout game! There're stories, and moral decisions to be made, and all kinds of subtleties that aren't dumbed down for your benefit.
Really, it's the stories that I enjoy the most. That's why I just can't get into MMORPGs like World of Warcraft and other games that are played primarily online. Most of the time the only story aspect they have is long and floral prologue that sets the stage for the current situation. After that it's just a bunch of aimless running around and fighting, with no real story progression. Because if there was a point where you could win and end the story, you'd stop playing and stop paying those monthly online fees. Unfortunately it's those types of games that make the most money, so they're the ones everyone's making now.
Another thing I especially enjoy is having the ability to make game-affecting choices. Should I side with the escaped convicts, or the townspeople? Should I take the bribe, or turn this murderer in? Of course, I enjoy playing the hero, so I almost always choose to be the good guy anyway. But it's fun to know that there was an actual choice to be made.
