I don't know what the standard gameplay experience was at the time of release but what I do know is that NV fails the test of time. If you put the gameplay over the story then don't bother.
Could a brainlet understand and enjoy the plot of this game?
Its a meme game. Not any better than FO3, it just has more autism. It's basically fanfic of classic fallout games. The only good thing about it is that it has a "larger" more detailed world with more fleshed out characters but that's about it. Most of the factions are uninteresting and comical not in a good way, like the greaser gang, powder gangers, and caesar's legion. It feels like a highschooler wrote this game.
The lonesome road dlc and ulysses dialogue is the only moment where you actually have to think a little to understand whats being said but other than that, the games basically about nothing more than a bunch of factions at war whilst you the braindamaged courier do whatever you want and side with whoever you want. The companions are nice too, i like walking through the desert with a cyborg dog and an ex sniper who killed his own wife and child
>las vegas casino survives the apocalypse
>large dam survives the apocalypse
>ncr and legion: hmmm large dam can power casino, lets fight over them
>mr. house: no u cant have casino
>ncr and legion: k but we'll still fight over dam
>theres a poker chip that has tech to create op robots
>benny: cool ima find it
>mr house: no its mine
>benny: fuk u
>benny: if i find it ill kill u and use it to control vegas and the whole desert
>you: (walks to mr. house to deliver chip)
>benny: no its mine i kill u *bang*
It's not that complicated dude. Just a good game, and it's probably not that expensive anymore. Give it a shot.

I'd say that most people probably miss out on what's going on with the story and themes in Dead Money if you don't actually think about it.
Not talking about the gold bars
Good story that's pretty interesting, but is bogged down by dated gameplay and graphics. If you like the other fallout games, then go nuts. Mind you that this is coming from someone who has only ever played one other fallout game besides this one
Did you just spoil the game
New Vegas doesn't have a very complex plot. It's literally just power struggle between factions and that's about it. Not really a game you play for the story it's more about the fun combat, exploration, quests, and customization
Did you play 3 growing up or once you were older after playing new vegas?
