Best Fallout Game

In short, Fallout: New Vegas is the best in the series. It expands upon all of the best features of Fallout 3 such as an enticing story, fun gameplay, and an expansive world.

TAS are built, but not performed by humans either for entertainment or examination of a video game's limits. A TAS is often used to see how fast a game can theoretically be beaten. This is different from a normal speedrun where a speedrunner will strive to beat a game as fast as humanly possible. How do they achieve this extreme theoretical s...
