at the same time that "alpha protocol" was in development, obsidian was also working on "". prior to working on "new vegas", they were contacted by bethesda softworks about developing a "star trek" game, but the idea never gained traction. after bethesda released "fallout 3" and began to shift its own focus back towards its "elder scrolls" series, it approached obsidian with the idea of having the latter studio develop another game in the "fallout" series, as several of obsidian's founders had worked on the franchise while at black isle. in developing "new vegas", obsidian looked at fan requests, which led to "new vegas" giving a more prominent role to the in-game factions. when the concept was pitched to bethesda, it was immediately approved. the development of "new vegas" began soon after the cancellation of "aliens: crucible", and it was released in october 2010. it received generally positive reviews, with some critics saying that the game's quality exceeded that of the critically acclaimed "fallout 3".

"fallout: new vegas" takes place during the year 2281 and within the region surrounding the former city of las vegas (now called "new vegas"), around four years after the events of "fallout 3", and roughly around 204 years since the great war of 2077. at the time the game begins, three major powers seek control over new vegas and its surroundings – the new california republic (ncr), caesar's legion, and mr. house. since their last appearance in "fallout 2", the ncr has become overextended and mismanaged, but their expansion eastwards has allowed them to gain control of the majority of territories in the mojave, with the only threat to their expansion coming from the slave-driving, roman army-styled forces of caesar's legion, led by their leader caesar, who have conquered and united 86 tribes further to the east, and now plan to conquer new vegas. four years before the start of the game, both sides came into conflict at the hoover dam, a major landmark that supplies power to new vegas, and which both sides seek control over. as both sides prepare for a second, inevitable conflict over the dam, mr. house, a mysterious businessman who presides over new vegas as its "de facto" leader with an army of "securitron" security robots, also seeks control of the dam while ensuring neither side gains control, and is moving towards the final stages of his plans.
