Fallout New Vegas VS. Skyrim !!!CAUTION FANBOY OVERREACTION ZONE!!! Dragonborn, shouts, and enchanting not included, to make it fair.
NPC War Vegas Vs. Skyrim: Fallout, Robotics, Khans, Enclave etc., Vs. Guards with swords and wooden shields, petty bandits, dragons and priests are the only threat. (Although a Charaus and Cazadore 1v1 would be freaking awesome. And by enclave, I mean the remnants.)
Quests and story: Skyrim would win with a close call, the quests for Skyrim are well written, but sometimes lack challenge, like facing the same drauger every time. Fallout goes a little ordinary in quests, helping others trapped, enslaved,or going to an SOS call. The difficulty is well balanced in the quests, just try clearing out that deathclaw nest early on.
Weapons: Fallout by a landslide, Swords,shields, and bow and arrows Vs. Gauss rifles, plasma rifles, Gatling lasers, experimental MIRV. Just a MIRV alone would destroy the entire town of white run. Not to mention a fully repaired hunting rifle will kill most things in 1 or 2 hits.
(NOTE: Enchantments on skyrim armor would make this a draw.) Armor: Fallout by a VERY close call, normal power armor will give immense armor and some attributes. Normal heavy armor in skyrim does not. Combat armor on fallout is the equivalent of guard's armor, but more powerful. Fallout also has numerous other articles of random clothing that have S.P.E.C.I.A.L. attributes included, while Skyrim does too. Fallout has more of an assortment of clothing.
Map: Skyrim takes the cake. Fallout indeed has more maps from DLC than Skyrim does, but Skyrim takes the expansive map even further than Fallout, with even more memorable places than Fallout also doesn't have the medieval dungeon puzzles as Skyrim does. Skyrim's diverse misc items also make something make you not go like: I'm not sure this random building is worth my time. Instead of the normal caps, weapons, and armor, it's jewels, parts to smelt, gold, ingots, weapons, armor, priest masks, ore to mine, spell books, etc.
The winner is: Fallout New Vegas 3-2 (This is my opinion, not a fact.) |

"Skyrim would win with a close call"

skyrim the only reason you remember the names of the hold capitals is because they're the only settlements you really return to |

| Exactly, the capitals are really the only place worth revisiting, while Vegas has loads more, the Strip, Primm, Goodsprings, some of the NCR camps, Hidden Valley, Novac, 188 post, I could go on even more. |

and there are only a couple of memorable quests in skyrim most of which are memorable for being annoying/buggy
to be fair though, modding does make skyrim a pretty good survival/sandbox/rpg (see gopher's LP) |

| But I said Skyrim on map not because of the revisiting value. |

Random new vegas quest: Slaughter an entire camp of Slave-trading Legionaries, possibly by dumping toxic waste into their base. Random skyrim quest: Give this to this person
