Fallout: New Vegas - Obsidian Entertainment presents new features and improvements in Fallout: New Vegas that are implemented upon the foundation of Fallout 3. For example, the original Fallout 3 version of the Gamebryo engine was reworked in order to accommodate the extra lights and effects of the New Vegas strip.
The Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System, or "V.A.T.S.", returns with the
addition of several V.A.T.S.-specific attacks. Use of certain melee
weapons trigger unique animations. Added are new weapons, a weapon
modification system, the ability to use the iron sights on almost all
guns (excluding several larger weapons that are shot from the hip) and a
better over-the-shoulder view for third-person combat. The modification
system allows for modifications such as mounted telescopic sights, rate
of fire modifiers and increased magazine size. Crafting also plays a
role in weaponry, with the ability to craft ammunition such as
hand-loaded rounds. A plant-harvesting system similar to that of The Elder Scrolls series is also in place, allowing the player to use plants to craft special meals, poisons, and medicines.
