What's your favorite moment from New Vegas?

No, the homages to Fallout 3 from Veronica.

I love Fallout 3 and would be giddy to know if there's any mentions I missed.

Veronica talks about a "Small Civil War" on the East Coast, presumably referring to the Outcasts breaking away from the East Coast Brotherhood.

Also the guy who made ED-E briefly mentions Colonel Autumn.
 
one moment? singular?

NV was my second Fallout, so after beating the game, when I got all the slide endings. Never knew that my actions will be reflect in the final. Pretty special.

I've never been a regular gamer. It was the first time I saw something like that.
 
For me it's a toss up between finishing For Auld Lang Syne for the first time (with the remnants fighting for NCR and Arcade giving me the Gannon family armor) & finishing Dead Money for the first time (Elijah trapped in the vault while I escape with all the gold bars)
 
the best moment was finally deciding to give new vegas a shot and slowly realizing it fixed (almost) every problem I had with fo3. the worst moment was when veronica and ed-e actually referenced fo3. also camp searchlight is pretty irritating lore-wise.

Are you asking me which I'd side with: Caesar or Enclave? I'd choose the Enclave since they're not a bunch of rapist misogynist slavers.

If you'd ask me which should be the villain in NV, I'd say Caesar's Legion.

I like the Enclave but I think you need to spread them out. Like the BOS, you can't make them the focus of every game.

Heck, why can I help Eden, but not convince the guy in the Enclave with a resonable plan (by Enclave standards anyway) that I would like to join forces with him?

Also you can't refuse to help Eden and tell him to take that vial and shove it.

It's unforgivable.

Oh, the best moments? FNV...
 
Without any shadow of a doubt it was when I first walked in to the Strip, I still remember the strong vibes I got. An Oasis of light, fun inside a desolate dusty grime filled one. That was quite fun.

If I could piggy-back off that thought, I got a similar feeling entering the Lucky 38 for the first time seeing the outer doors open and eventually talking to House.
 
I think my favourite moment was storming the Fort, slaughtering every legion bastard I could see, and desecrating Caesars corpse.
 
My favorite moment was the one i had when i realized i could play my NV with 300+ mods without crashing after 5min.
But I don't really have a single greatest moment from FNV.
Entering the strip, sierra madre ending, Zion, finding the crashed Highwayman, and little experiences (like references or wild wasteland) along the way are some moments that cross my mind, and that's good enough for me.

Eh, if you've got lemons, make FEV.
 
A lot of moments. From certain good ending slides from the game (like Raul's good endings, the good endings of Dead Money (Dog/God's being my favorite) etc.) to little moments (like properly resolving the climax of Someone to Watch Over Me, the Ulysses holotapes and arriving in the Strip with the music blaring). Too many to be able to provide a definitive moment.
 
The ending slideshow; that moment when it all came to fruition, and I find out what I've really accomplished. With the story finished I feel satisfied. Whereas at the start there's a certain fervor in creating a character. Even though I have a painful prologue to slog through right after. I suppose the first leg of the game has a similar fun to it, the challenge of it all. Where every choice matters, everything is in front of me, rather than clogging up my quest log with an ever more elaborate mess of fetches. Finally learning to enjoy Dead Money brought me back to this, albeit after great frustration. Other people have already mentioned the better conversations, and to that list I will add No-Bark Noonan.
 
Watching the rockets blow up in Come Fly With Me. I just imagined my neutral karma berserker Legion chick laughing while drinking a beer and then saying: "Oh, i'm such a bitch. Well, moving on."
