A Fallout: New Vegas player has completed the incredible feat of getting every achievement in the game in just a single sitting. While Fallout: New Vegas sets players up to play however they want, it's unlikely that Obsidian expected anything like this when the game originally came out.
Despite Fallout: New Vegas being released all the way back in 2010, gamers are still finding fun new ways to play Obsidian's RPG. One Fallout: New Vegas player even managed to reach max level without ever leaving Goodsprings, which just shows how creative players are getting with self-imposed restrictions. The role-playing elements of Fallout: New Vegas remain some of the strongest of any RPG ever released, with many games being released to this day being influenced by Obisdian's title. Because of this, the potential for ideas on how to play the game are essentially limitless, with Fallout: New Vegas providing the perfect sandbox for players to do so.
The achievement was completed by YouTuber ItsJabo, who completed the feat over in one single live stream. With Fallout: New Vegas having a total of 75 achievements across the base game and DLC, it's no small feat. Some of them, particularly the casino-based achievements, are completely luck-based, so that's an extra element that the player would have to consider during a run like this. However, ItsJabo managed to eventually complete the goal in 11 hours and 4 minutes, which is definitely faster than many might expect from something like this. It should be noted that ItsJabo is also a speedrunner of many Fallout: New Vegas categories, so it's likely he understands the nuance of the game better than most would.
It's not the first time ItsJabo has attempted something like this. Just recently, the YouTuber manages to get every Fallout 4 achievement in a single sitting, too, so this is becoming a recurring theme for him. Unfortunately, he hasn't revealed his future plans, so it's unknown if he has a similar video planned for Fallout 3 and Fallout 76. In the past, ItsJabo has also been a popular Fallout 3 speedrunner, so nothing can be ruled out at this point.
Fans online continue to beg for Obsidian to be allowed to return to the Fallout franchise in some capacity. It was recently revealed that Obsidian veterans would love a Fallout: New Vegas remaster, so it seems the public stance of the developer is clear. Currently, Bethesda is extremely busy with Starfield, and The Elder Scrolls 6 will likely take priority after that. Under current development times, Fallout 5 could potentially not arrive until at least 2030, so allowing Obsidian to create a Fallout game in between would be the perfect way to keep the franchise in the public eye in the meantime.
Fallout: New Vegas is available now for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
