Yeah, I felt the same way back when 3 was coming out and 2 is my absolute favorite game from my childhood and adolescence. It TOTALLY holds up too btw, as long as you use the restoration patch etc so it can run well on a newer system.
That being said, I URGE you to find the time for NV at some point since it’s in my opinion THE single best game ever and (suitably modded) the most enjoyable experience to this day!
No Fall Damage (my ADHD ass has a hard enough time navigating and avoiding those damn cazadors without hills and mountains killing me for being inattentive)
There are some pre-organized modpacks that can be installed one-click via Wabbajack (which is what I used when I had Windows, on Linux you’re currently out of luck but the Nexus Mod Manager team is working on supporting it).
Viva New Vegas is one that improves the general UX while sticking to the original as far as possible if memory serves.
Edit: I ALSO URGE you to find the time for New Vegas because it is one of very few games that I keep coming back to every couple of years.
If I eventually have a good enough computer to emulate xbox smoothly, that’ll be one of my first games to get into. I have seen enough of it through Noah Gervais’ Fallout series retrospective to satisfy my curiosity for now.
That was a peak experience when I was 13. I was so dialed in to that game. I still can’t be arsed about any of the non-isomretric fallout games.
Edit: I know I’m missing out with FO:NV, just don’t have time

Why would you need to emulate an xbox to play a PC game?
If it’s to play with a controller, you can do that already, no emulation necessary…
You caught me, I hadn’t checked whether it was on PC. I’ll grab a copy. 😙
You’re in for a hell of a ride 😁
