In fact, for a large majority of the game, the only thing that distinguishes New Vegas from Fallout 3 is the orange hue that the HUD now sports. Yet whilst the contraries may be present, the sense of progression is not at all. I believe it was Blake who once said that “without contraries there is no progression.” Fallout: New Vegas is a game that is loaded with opposing forces, whether it be the choices you face as the player, or the warring factions you encounter during your adventure.
