The Ultimate Edition bundles the Mojave's faction war with the series' most fondly remembered add-ons and its weapon extras into a single download.
Everything that fits in this Mojave
According to the store's own description, this is a town where you dig your own grave, take a bullet to the head and are left for dead — and that is only the start of what lies ahead. The Ultimate Edition's Mojave is carved up among factions at war over control of the Hoover Dam and the glitzy Vegas Strip, and every choice the player makes bears on who ends up holding the power.
This edition pairs the base game with the series' most fondly remembered add-ons — Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues and Lonesome Road — plus the Courier's Stash and Gun Runners Arsenal packs, which throw in uncommon weapons, ammunition and recipes. Obsidian Entertainment wrote it; Bethesda Softworks publishes it. It landed on GOG on June 1, 2017.
The store insists the bundle serves both those who have already crossed the Mojave more than once and those who have never set foot in it: it promises more allies, more enemies and more weight behind the choices, for either side.

The praise that keeps coming back: the writing outweighs the scenery
The store's reviews, which poured in the moment the edition debuted on GOG, on June 1, 2017, keep returning to the same comparison: one player points out that the other Fallout games shaped by Bethesda itself deliver enormous worlds yet leave the story in the background — and credits the difference here to the version built with Obsidian at the helm. Another moves in the same direction, describing the main plot as a Rorschach test: the inkblots are the warring factions, and each player decides alone what they see in them.
A second recurring thread is the relief of playing well away from Steam. If you have ever tried to open a game with no internet and watched Valve's platform lock you out, you will recognize the complaint in one review, which is glad it waited for the GOG release just to sidestep that; another, posted a few days later, on June 4, 2017, celebrates that this version runs better on current systems than the old build sold on Steam. Some go so far as to recommend installing community-made mods that stitch together the fragmented districts of Freeside and the Vegas Strip right from the outset, treating them as part of the package rather than a luxury. And someone sums the whole thing up in a joke: the game turned out so well that Bethesda never let Obsidian near a Fallout again.
Who steps into the Mojave, and who gives up in Freeside
The reviews themselves promise that this is a fine place to start the series, with none of the earlier games behind you. If the dated graphics and controls of the originals always kept you at arm's length, this is the gentlest way in, according to those who have already walked through it. It is a pick for anyone who enjoys deciding a faction's fate and then living with the choice — not for anyone who wants to boot the game up and start shooting without anything getting in the way.
Left out is anyone with no patience for that kind of hands-on tinkering: the reviews treat community mods as part of the experience, recommended from the very start, not as an optional extra. Anyone expecting everything unlocked and ready straight out of the install feels that gap within their first hours in Freeside.
