To bad that even years after the release it was so bugged that i couldn't play it through.
If you're good with modding, just use NVAC and some other popular bug fix mods, then it'll run better than any other fallout game. People love this game and have been fixing it for years.
Nowadays IMO the best way to play is to install

That guide explains how to install. It includes the most important stability and QoL mods for modern systems, and brings the features of new Vegas (like aim down sights or hardcore mode) to fallout 3.
You can choose to play through fallout 3, and then through the story have that character become the new vegas courier, or start right in new Vegas like a standard save and travel to the capital wasteland if you’d like.
The Wasteland Survival Guide expands on TBoT and balances the games far better, adds in need content, tons more bug fixes, and generally improves on the games.
This is great, if you're on Linux you can just use Mod Organizer 2 as well. It's pretty intuitive once you understand what the UI elements mean and it's very stable. Just don't update it because it only supports one version currently ha.
do NOT use NVAC it'll make the game crash more nowadays use new vegas tick fix
Damn I gotta update my mod list then!
Except for some crashs i found the reason, i never had serious bugs
Did you mod your game? Modded should have no crashes anymore.
Only 4gb patcher
That fixes the vast majority of crashes, but you also need other mods to manage memory, as it's bugged in Vanilla.
With mods, it's pretty much bug free now, and crashless. Follow Viva New Vegas!
