My impression from playing both was that Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas were pretty solid when you started playing a game — well, okay, if you get the post-release patches in place — but that the game became less-stable over the course of a run.
The loading times also got a lot more painful over the course of a run. Fallout 76 and Starfield did much better in that respect.

I remember that originally it was Microsoft’s online attachment to the game which created most problems, that whatever Live service.
Getting rid of it solved many of the initial issues.
Then, only the Bethesda induced issues remained.

Makes me happy I have the GOG version of Fallout 3. I’ve played New Vegas but not gotten around to 3.
