While Fallout New Vegas may have been regarded by some as a dismissible side-entry to the apocalyptic RPG franchise, indications are that fans of the series should pay attention to the game. CVG reports that PSM3 has tried out the game and declared the script “wittier,” and said that the characters are “more distinct” than Bethsoft's efforts with Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
"We had to modify the dialogue engine from Fallout 3 to include the types of dialogue and options that we wanted,” said Larry Liberty, Lead producer of Fallout New Vegas. "We want real, memorable characters. I think it helps you to remember parts of the world you'd otherwise forget."
It's worth noting that Fallout New Vegas developer Obsidian Entertainment was founded by members of Black Isle Studios, which created the first two Fallout titles; indeed, an argument could be made that Fallout New Vegas is more of a true sequel than the Bethsoft developed Fallout 3 was.

as the story teller - They are releasing a PS3 version, sometimes GI doesn't put up the PS3 version on games mentioned for multiplatform games.
The only problems I had with the characters were that they didn't show enough emotion and it bugged me a little bit when it was the same voice actors for some 10-50 characters. The characters just need to have more emotion when they're speaking, for example: If someone's terified, angry, or sad, show that in their voice and by their actions/movements. Also if they're not using that many voice actors like Fallout 3 did, they could at least try to show difference in their voice for different characters. That way, each character won't ever feel like the same person you just met a few minutes ago.
