NV was a glimpse into reconstruction, what society would start to rebuild itself as. Personally, NV intrigued me more from a thematic perspective. And then with the gameplay essentially being a slightly enhanced version of 3, and every DLC blowing 3's DLC out of the water (minus Dead Money), NV was just a more interesting and stimulating game.
