It we’re judging them as RPGs then I think it is absolutely fair to say New Vegas is miles better. If we’re judging writing and world building likewise.
I think an argument could be made for Fallout 3 having more interesting environments to aimlessly roam due to the signature Bethesda world design and clutter. But that’s more or less it, in my opinion.
Whether that makes it a better game is up to individual preferences. I definitely have heard of people who prefer FO3, but I also know the modding scene of New Vegas is magnitudes stronger (though that doesn’t necessarily have to mean it’s the more popular game, granted).
