Fallout New Vegas: A wasteland, a platinum poker chip and one dedicated courier

Fallout: New Vegas puts a bit of a western spin on the established franchise and gives us yet another look into how the rest of the country is surviving the apocalypse.  Sure Washington DC has seen better days, and man California is a total wasteland, but seriously who cares about that?  Did all the prostitutes survive?  Oh god let Vegas be okay. Instead of once again placing you in the shoes of the devious/golden wanderer from Vault 101 from Fallout 3, New Vegas gives you a new character to play with, complete with a new set of goals, aspirations and problems.  This time around, you’ve been living in the wasteland for quite some time, earning some caps by working as a courier for the New Vegas freight system.  It’s actually not that glamorous, and looks a bit more like a pony express without, you know, ponies, but hey, caps are hard to come by in the wasteland, so who are you to complain?
