Where should I go first in Fallout New Vegas?
When starting a new game in Fallout New Vegas, it’s essential to decide on the best route to take, and the most recommended path is to head south from Goodsprings, then turn north at Jean’s Skydiving along the I-15, as this will allow you to explore the main quest and various side quests while progressing through the game. The initial direction may urge you to go south to get to Vegas the long way, but taking the northern route will provide a more comprehensive experience, allowing you to reach Vegas at a higher level, around level 8-12, with the game fully opened up.
